beta radiation is completely harmless to humans as long as you have a nice layer of skin between you and it. Problem is, being on my lap, the layer of skin is too nice to risk anything.
You seem to have developed a way to use your laptop more, err, "directly" than I do. Please, share you secrets. This is nothing. You should see when I lost it in my own house. Hmmm. Thinking again, you should not.
I have a DS with M3 Simply homebrew/warez card and must say I am very satisfied with it. Lots of good games, great homebrew being written, and Opera on DS has saved me many times when I needed a network connection but left my laptop in my other pants.
The only problem is that here no one else seem to have it, at least I have never seen another one but mine. In the 3rd world developing country I live, I can't just go playing in the subway or I will most probably end without it since it would draw so much attention. There are many games that I would like to play multiplayer but can't.
Guess I have to wait more.
It seems to me that you can always install some software like that yourself. Once I lost my laptop in my own house. Since I have ipcheck in a cron job, updating my laptop's IP address on DynDns, I just SSHed into it and made it play loud sounds until I found it under the bed. (I don't answer questions about what it was doing there)
you can't just type "map(print, listname)" or anything else as compact and "clean". And in Python 3k you won't be able to do that either, because Map now returns an iterator object and that would result in no function actually being called unless the iterator is used.
One good solution would be to:
Intel's gonna do what Intel always does - they're gonna turn that stuff into silicon. Expect a physics engine chip from Intel. It would be more interesting if they just open-sourced the whole thing, but unfortunately this is very improbable.
what the big differences will be for the average user, developer or administrator? I guess we must wait until it is out so we can test and benchmark both options.

IronPython.
Useful? Useful to them, because the only place I can see IronPython being useful is in a very microsoft-tied project. Well-planned projects would use CPython instead.
I am surprised it took so long. I am surprised people still pay to play the same game with revamped graphics instead of a whole new idea with innovation.
Huh? One of Microsoft's Shared Source licenses (The Permissive License) satisfies every one of the conditions RMS gives for Free Software (and every condition given by OSI for Open Source).
But there is no useful piece of software released in this license and I doubt there ever will be.
Which isn't going to be particularly easy if you meet a clerk who is under the impression that the deactivation process is 100% perfect and the only way you could possibly have a DVD which is unreadable is because you stole it. That's why you keep your bill (yes that tiny paper they give you when you purchase something) so you can prove you bought it.
I believe this means that all install scripts are running as root--I don't know if this is a security hole, but it sure sounds like one. This is the exact equivalent to every windows program install requiring administrator access--something they have at least recognized as a flaw and begun to combat. I believe installing software is an administrative task, and should be treated as such. I don't want every joe user of my machine installing stupid software on it.
Installation of software system-wide is correctly protected by administrator priviledges.
I guess you must be using some strange ancient version or something. I have tried some of the stuff you said and the results where not quite like what you described:
1 The whole Spatial browsing idea. Yes you can turn it off (The is the first thing I do when I come across it) but it's a rotten idea.
So what? You can turn it off, period. Some people like it.
2 Poor keyboard support. My main gripe with Nautilus is that you can't navigate by pressing a key to "walk round objects whose name starts with a letter"
I type some letter and it goes to the file with that letter. If I know the name of the file, I keep typing more from the file name until that single file gets selected by elimination. It works wonders to find files. If I want to find a file named "nautilus" on a directory full of files starting with n, I can type "nau" and the file is selected. I don't keep typing n n n n n all over. It is just plain stupid.
3 Poor right mouse button support. Select some files and try to right click so you can select the "copy" option from the context menu. You can't.
You must right-click on the selection itself. Right clicking on an unselected item obviously changes selection to that item before opening context menu, since the "context" in that case is the unselected file. Unless, of course, you right click holding "control", which adds unselected item to the selection before popping up the menu. Behavior seems correct to me.
4 Similarly when you've got several files/directories on the clipboard and you want to paste them into a folder with a mouse click you can't. The right click once again selects an item etc. etc.
Similarly you must choose where you are "right-clicking". If you right click on a folder, the menu says "Paste Into Folder". If you right-click on an empty space on the folder you are currently on, the plain "paste" option shows up, but no "copy" or "cut" options. Of course, you can always select paste from the edit menu or use the universally known "CTRL-V" keystroke.
Just because it is not "just like windows" doesn't mean it is unusable. In fact, it is pretty good once you learn how to use it. Good luck writing your own file manager thought. Being in C#/Mono, I bet it will be blinding fast.[/sarcasm]

You may try StylusStudio's xml schema documentation generator or simpler/opensource/customizable dtdtoc written in python.

OOOOOHHH!!! My Eyes! They have Diabetis now! Too much candy!!
I am just waiting for someone to convert them into Frets on Fire format and post somewhere. If you know any links (torrent or not) please share!!
And using this game at a desert island suddenly becomes easier and easier...
I've plugged my ipod on a fresh install of kubuntu 6.06 and it worked out of the box. I don't see where the problem is.
Then the repagination extension is what you need.
I think they removed the rumble feature in order to make room to fit in the tilt feature in the last second, to answer Wiimote hype...
I wonder if it will make possible to play PC-emulated Wii games without an "Wiimote adapter"?
What is next-gen to you? Better processor? Faster graphics? What looks next-gen or what feels next-gen?
PLAYING = BELIEVING
What is hard in that?
