Many OSS projects out immotate [sic] or just immitate proprietary apps, but not all. Have you ever played with enlightenment (especially 17), amarok, vim, apache, apr, etc.?
Not to start a flame war on the trite Debian vs. Gentoo debate but... I think for a desktop system handling licences/trademarks (and release schedules) like gentoo makes more sense (look at their default package repository, its almost thepiratebay:p) But for servers and other things of significant importance, slow release and pedantic licencing is a bit more logical. Whatever floats your boat I guess
It would just look kind of bad to exclude one of the more popular desktop OS apps from a distribution that already has desktop problems due to lack of release (and even worse to limit the downstream use of firefox on deb derivitives, the very derivatives that make debian useful for the desktop)
Oh well, I really should get back to compiling something, isn't the gentoo way to not be compiling something
Also it is typical Jewish literature, mostly metaphorical. If you don't believe that the Jews liek their metaphors read the kabbalah. Which is another interesting point that most christians do not know of the kabablah's existence. NOTE: I am a deist.
Did you try OO2 beta? I am a high school student and I have to do several powerpoints (conferences and such) and frankly 1.1 looked like shit on a stick and was slow, I tried OO2 beta and I was quite impressed, it has a few problems with backgrounds, but nothing major (not really noticeable). OO2 is also much faster, is about as happy as abi-word on my p4 gentoo box. Not saying it will work for you, but it might and it is truly nice
been through puberty recently? voice changes usually occur by age 14 or so, although there are some late bloomers. Also the majority of the hormonal imbalances happen around the 12 or 13 year mark and things begin to stabilize a bit more around 15 or 16, just begins though.
also I fail to see how the female kids would be screwed by this. It seems to target young males more.
Windows solves the problem of mounting the drive of not including that feature. I would kill to be able to spread my directory tree over several partitions in Windows, but instead I have to use C;\ F:\ etc. actually I would kill to be able to symlink even. I use linux and I would love to see it standardize a bit with average programs in/usr/bin, restricted/sbin is fine and libraries in/usr/lib or something. why must random apps feel the need to install in/usr/local/share/opt/maybe/pita/bin or something. Standardization is your friend, but please never bring windows up in the same topic as "standard"
I go to a technology magnet high school where we have 1.6 computers to users. Do we ever use them, fuck no thank you kindly. Sure we whip them out when business scouts come around our town, but other than that hardly. When we do use them, we use word and powerpoint, nothing else. Nothing new or inventive is done, you have a spiral notebook emulator and a flashcard like system which 90% of the students horribly abuse (I swear if I have to fucking watch another slideshow with paragraphs of font one shade off from the background where custom animation and sounds tie it all together, soemthign will die). If we are really lucky we will get to use the intarweb, all 2 sites that aren't blocked. Technology could be used effectively in schools and learning, but its not. The teachers do not have the training or the inclination. The admins are generally clueless MCSEdroids (not all I know a few very competent admins, but none at my school). We don't even have classes on basic programming. Our servers were going to be switched over to apache, but the admins couldn't figure out how to get it installed (My illiterate friend managed it). There is a longer and better rant at my friends website http://sangxanta.org/archives/2005/02/problems_wit h_m.html and the school website (and it was just made to be viewed in alternative browsers by some pissed off students who like firefox, admins couldn't) http://web.dps.k12.va.us/galileo/
My school participates in FIRST. I had the pleasure to attend several of the build meets (I couldn't join the team because of other obligations). I don't know about other places, but our team did all of the building, programming, and testing. We had a few helpers but their function was to fill out paperwork and the one engineer was just the "Is this physically possible?" guy. The students had to do it all. Granted our team got absolutely owned in the face, probably by teams that "real" engineers did the work. Anyway its a pretty cool program that I hope to work with sometime during my high school experience.
I believe that QT scares them, I can definitely see where having the LGPL GTK could have an advantage over dual licenced QT. I don't know it just almost fits.
(This is not an insult at QT, which is a fine library, but just not as free for everyone as GTK)
I like this, from my observations it alwasy appears that OSS is a bit heavy on the memory while closed source tends to be heavier on harddrive and processor dependent (not to say it is bloat free, far from it).
That said, I run Gnome 2.8 on my old Pentium 2 laptop with 128mb of RAM. It actually works decently well, other than the screen refreshes which can use up all my processor and still take a few days:) . It is quite usable though and future versions of gnome will hopefully perform even better.
Thank You Novell
1. Rip out gnome-terminal and piss on it 2, slide xterm or aterm into its place 3. Profit?
Re:Why make it look like Windows?
on
KDE 3.4 RC1 Released

· Score: 1, Interesting
Ever tried enlightenment? it emulates nothing, infact it is rather far ahead of anything else. An amazing amount of eye candy with *box like speeds, w00t its awesome
How long does it take to learn Windows (coming from any other OS), check out my guide on it.
1. Press power button
2. Wait for it, Wait for it!
3. Move your X-Y position indeicator (mouse) to the lime green abomination labeled Start.
Congratulations, you now know how to use Windows and are probably more qualified than the average MCSE!
The software necesary for education (at my 100% "uber tech" school 100% MS) is Word and Internet Explorer. Oh and in my 9th grade class, I am one of like 5 who has ever touched a programming language, and the only one who does any regularly (and its only PHP), and I go to a geek school.:(
Why are they suing Google at every chance they can get? Is it anti-Americanism? Is it bad foie gras induced hallucinations? Seriously guys, google just sorts information and tries to make it easily accessable. Go away!
actually it has more to do with just tricking people to go to Greenland (which is cold) instead of Iceland(which is nice) or so my geography teacher has lead me to believe. Climate change does happen, but its highly likely that humans have had a lot of influence in this change.
It wouldn't be an issue if they did like Gentoo Linux does with Gentoo file manager, but unfortunately they don't seem to be going that route. Oh well, nothing to see here please move along
Oh damn, I think I can stand happy robotic doors who get unperverted pleasure from opening and closing, but horny doors just scare me. Also did they discover this feeling, lust, with a herring sandwich?
Its particularly sad with the lawsuits over common sense because Common Law trys to protect against it (Obvious risks and Hazards). Just last week, the Virginia House of Delegates passed a bill that codified what should already be clear. House Bill 1617 protects food vendors from legal action taken against a legal product of theirs. Its sad when it comes to this. (I observed all of this as I am a Page, which brings me to my next point about pubic [sic] schools I go to a public school and its one of the better ones (NASA and Virginia Tech funding), yet the results of the poll would not be much different there. Give me convenience or give me death, is the battle cry of my generation. We actively help "The Man" put us down (We watch Mtv for christ's sake). We are grateful that Comrade Ashcroft and King George can keep us safe. We consider 50cent to be the epitomy of cool, yet Steven Hawking (if recognized at all) is the funny guy in a wheelchair. We want to spread "freedom" to the middle east while we slowly lose it here at home. In short we are sheep. I will spare you the cliched (but excellent) Benjamin Franklin quote

Do they get their updates under this, because that would be funny.
And its a P2 over ADSL :O
