  1. Re:Not surprising... on AMD Takes Microsoft's Side in Antitrust Case · · Score: 1

    And that is why you read Slashdot: for the great, spelling-error-free articles !!!

  2. Re:Question for K users: are virtual desktops back on LinuxPlanet Reviews KDE 3.0 · · Score: 1

    You're getting it wrong. Sawfish supports both Workspaces and Virtual Desktops which are different beasts. Sawfish is infact the best implementation of these features with tons of configurability.

  3. Re:Why the timeline? on Codeweavers Releases Crossover Office · · Score: 2

    Absurd as it may seem, but Vmware is much much simpler than Wine. It just virtualizes some of the hardware, but it runs the unmodified Windows kernel and native DLLs.
    Wine, instead, strives to implement all of the Windows API as faithfully as possibile, and that includes the undocumented stuff.
    So I would not define the effort meager...

  4. Re:RTS is dead on Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos · · Score: 1

    Not only is RTS dead, but most genres are. We're getting 3D-accelerated versions of the same old things we used to play years ago.
    The gaming industry just doesn't like taking risks: it costs too much to produce a game.

  7. Prada uses Linux on Are There Large RDBMS Using Linux? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ok, maybe they are not huge, but Prada (Italian fashion designer and sponsor of "Luna Rossa" at the last America's Cup), uses Oracle running on RedHat stored on a pair of EMC Clariions for their datawarehouse.

    I don't know what size the database is, but the Clariions had 400GB each worth of disks.

  8. Re:OK this is great... on Linux Breaks 100 Petabyte Ceiling · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually you would go for FC (Fiber Channel) not SCSI. Go to http://www.fibrechannel.org for more information.

  9. Re:Ximian, don't be silly. on Microsoft To Assist Ximian In Producing Mono · · Score: 1

    How is it possible that such a post has reached a score of 5 ???
    GNOME is not "ailing" as you say. It is quite healthy, and Ximian is one of the reasons for its health.
    Supporting .NET is a very good choice for the Open Source/Free Software community and I appreciate Ximian's open-mindedness in going ahead with Mono. If everyone thought like you do, we wouldn't have Samba.

    Even the Mindcraft benchmark would be a good test.

  15. Nautilus does the same with Bonobo components on Konqueror Embeds Mozilla with XParts · · Score: 1

    Well, Nautilus has had a Mozilla component for quite a while, so at the moment this looks as if its a me too effort. See http://www.eazel.com/images/corp/screens/dec-07-20 00/Web_View.jpg

    What I'm interested in is the KPart/Bonobo bridge, and it looks as if that doesn't exist yet.

  20. Re:Gecko in Konqueror? Ummm... on Mozilla-KDE Integration · · Score: 2

    You don't understand. Gecko is much more featureful than KDE's HTML engine. If you want the quick viewer use KDE's, if you want support for stuff like XML+CSS, MathML, XSL and all the other funky things that the great Moz does, then use Gecko.

    No you don't. The Mozilla shared libraries can be used by any application, they just need the extra wrapper for the widget set you intend to use. There already is a gtkmozembed. All you need is qtmozembed.
