  1. Re:Good, but not good enough on Audacity 1.2.0 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What you really want then is not Audacity, but Ardour together with Jack and an ALSA-supported soundcard

  2. Re:I got confused... on WineConf 2004 Wrapup · · Score: 3, Informative

    Alcohol volume in wine cannot go above 16.8% because the yeasts that attack the sugars will stop doing their thing at such concentration of alcohol.

  3. Re:Another way IE is a little better on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Obviously it doesn't really matter that Microsoft's VM is broken in many ways and ancient. I'm sorry, but Mozilla's decision not to bundle a VM and have that provided directly by a real JVM vendor (sun) is the proper way to go.

  4. Re:KDE most impressive open source project - ever on KDE 3.2 Release Candidate 1 Debuts · · Score: 1

    Actually it is you that are backwards. GTK+ was always conceived as a standalone widget toolkit. It was implemented so that The GIMP's dependency on Motif could be removed. Version 0.99 of GTK+ dates back to 1997.

  5. Re:DOM performance on Mozilla 1.6 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    The page I supplied actually allows you to run some tests on YOUR browser. Just run each test with all browsers and see the performance differences. Did you actually click any of the links ?

  6. Re:Does this include the box model? on Mozilla 1.6 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    IE5.x and IE6 in quirks mode uses the broken border-box-model.
    Mozilla, Opera and IE6 in standards mode use the content-box-model.
    CSS3 is proposing a new attribute for setting the box model you want. As it isn't standard yet, mozilla has it as -moz-box-sizing. IE/Mac has box-sizing.
    Set it to content-box or border-box.

    Actually you should check this great page which provides performance data for a few DOM operations. http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/innerhtml.html

  8. Re:Original Article on Microsoft's new CLI · · Score: 1

    This is not informative at all. This guy just copied an article about the Common Language Infrastructure, but the CLI referred to in the article is about a Command Line Interface. Moderate the parent down please.

    UDF file system support is there

    You need to use GDA, part of the Gnome-DB effort.

  13. Re:will it lose the race against xine? on MPlayer 0.90 released; MPlayer Maintainer Leaves · · Score: 1

    I don't think this is fair. I seem to remember that it was the Xine guys who worked out the SVQ1 format...

  14. Re:You forgot one on Linux Audio Developers Conference · · Score: 1

    1.1 is very good and does full duplex very well even on my maestro 2e. Try it.

  15. Re:A little more information on Adopt a KDE Geek · · Score: 1

    Also the upcoming gcc-3.4 will support (at last) Precompiled Headers which will speed up compilation of big apps.

  16. Re:VERY LARGE HEADLINES on Joe Clark's Answers -- In Valid XHTML · · Score: 2

    Because he used valid markup, as he explains in his replies. Especially the part about h1...h6 headings. The fact is you also need a good stylesheet to make it pretty.

  17. Re:How good is the JDBC driver these days on PostgreSQL 7.3 Released · · Score: 2

    I wouldn't say it's awesome, but it does its job. the JDBC driver for 7.3 also supports JDBC3 (not all features though).

    Well, I guess your arse may be a niche :)

  23. Re:Microsoft's JVM on Java Thrown Back in Windows, For Now · · Score: 1

    Java is taken VERY seriously, especially on the server side.

    Look at the plethora of application servers by BEA, IBM, etc.
    Look at the exceptional tools made by Apache's Jakarta project: Ant, Xerces, Xalan, Tomcat, Log4J, Struts, etc.

  24. Re:play testing? on FF XI Goes Live in Japan · · Score: 1

    Sony AND Square are both Japanese companies. That's why it's available over there before it is over here.

  25. Re:Is gcc still "2.96" ? on Red Hat 7.3 Coming Along · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You hate it because you probably didn't understand its purpose. 2.96 is a much better compiler than 2.95 especially for C++ code.
