This thing really rocks! I saw it on the LinuxDays in St. Pölten/Austria and it's so cool, the software is even better than the Windows software, IMHO, and it even has ed on it.:) It's neat to write a "hello world" shellscript using ed, you can't do this on Windows CE.
StarOffice/OpenOffice is not GTK+ based. Stardivision used to have their own widget library that acts as "frontend" for other widget libraries. That means the most work for doing a new port was actually porting the widget library called "StarView" to the new platform's native widget library.
Dear Pentagon, I give you my Nutshell books so that you can learn using computers efficiently and you give me your cryptography technology, OK? Actually, Linux in a Nutshell should be enough.
even better: 361 degrees. You would have a complete view, too, and nobody
would notice that 1 degree's missing.
What I don't understand is how they want to force
their patents in Europe, since algorithms cannot be
patented (at least not in Germany), only implementations.
What's your opinion on the LSB's plans to include Debian's APT instead of RedHat's RPM, which is actually a standard package format used by many other Linux distribution?
In Austria, especially in the newsgroup at.linux
many people come and ask "why doesn't work this
and that with my _Linux_ 6.4 or 7.0?". SuSE tried
to make Linux easy to install and configure, what
they did is really a mess, in at.linux we often
have to handle problems where SuSE's configuration
utility YaST overwrote custom configuration without
even asking or saving them. Sorry, but that's not
userfriendly. Users can also be experts, and for
them SuSE isn't a choice anymore. And that's why
hardly any SuSE specific questions are answered
in at.linux.
DON'T SEE ME AS A FLAMEBAIT, but the experience
with SuSE is really disturbing.
In Germany and Austria about 90 % of all
"folk music" (they call it so, but it actually
isn't) is written by one woman. So she gets all the royalties. Though not
well known, she's one of the richest women in
Austria...
AFAIK JFS is both a journaling and a logging
file system. Dunno what's the difference, but I
remembered of this point, because they (IBM) said,
this would be something special.
many games could profit of it, e.g. DeltaForce.
That was really a tough and exciting game.
Unfortunately the engine was terribly slow, maybe
this could improve it...
without Turing, Zuse would have been the
greatest man in beginning of computer history,
and Algol would have another assignment operator.
without Newton, Euler, De LaPlace, Kepler,
Briggs, Guiseppe Peano, Vieta, Heron, etc. we
wouldn't have that much understanding for
mathematics, without them constructing computers
would have been impossible.
You could go on with that list, but the point
is that Unix was the first Good Thing(tm) in
computer science.
Ahh, you've been reading the discussions in
news:alt.folkore.computers, haven't you?
Actually, the root of the WWW is Unix, without
Unix there wouldn't be BSD, without BSD
there wouldn't be TCP/IP, without TCP/IP
there wouldn't be ARPAnet, without ARPAnet
no Internet, without Internet not World Wide
Web.
My all-time favorites are Dennis Ritchie and
Ken Thompson. With their work 30 years ago
they even influence computer industry today,
either through clones (Linux), or through further
developments of the Berkeley System Distribution
(especially the upcoming MacOS X). I think
they should be in the list, too.
explaining exactly why you are
returning it (i.e. "Don't agree to licensing terms").
Sorry, but this is not exact. A more complete
description would be "the last chapter
is not printed." And that's what you actually
pay for, that all the book's content is printed
and not on a CD.

Together with IA-64, this will finally make the PC platform a "good" computer. ;)

And what's worst: they don't have a single backdoor, they have a whole backoffice!

If you want to program it, you have to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement. See also here.
in Austria they open the stores at 12:00 PM in order to prevent that so many people have to wait outside in the cold a whole night.
ePerl combines the into-HTML-embeddability of PHP with the power of Perl. Just have a look at http://www.engelschall.com/sw/eperl.
The most interesting, funny, etc. BIOS Update hack.

I know. But look at the influence of it... just look what /. is all about. Mostly Linux,
which is Unix-like.

Just my .02 euro.
There's an editorial about the topic "IBM and Linux" in the current c't (20/2000).
Microsoft should be happy that their file system could become "compatible". :-)
usa and australia, pls boycott and give all your medals to Austrian athletes! I'd be happy with it.
CS now has a SDK?
Yggdrasil is back again and fills the whole that SuSE opened by stopping to sell their Linux Snapshot CDs.
