  1. Re:KDE-centric worldview? on Point-and-klik Linux Software Installation? · · Score: 3, Informative

    You don't have to run the KDE window manager to use most KDE apps such as KDevelop. You just need Qt and the KDE libs. There are no dependancies on the window manager itself.

  2. Clarification... on Point-and-klik Linux Software Installation? · · Score: 1

    You can use Google's cache if you don't want to mess with your user agent string to see the site:
    http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:DcXkKzGdgk8J: klik.atekon.de/+&hl=en
    In Opera, even on *nix, the site will refuse to display unless you set your agent string to Mozilla. Opera or MSIE user agent strings (which is usually default in Opera) will make the site think you are using Windows/MSIE.

  3. User Agent String on Point-and-klik Linux Software Installation? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you are running a browser under Win32 or MSIE in WINE without spoofing your user agent string, the site will bitch. Solution: Change your user agent string. In Opera this can be done from the Quick Preferences menu. They are most likely doing this to save bandwidth.

  4. Nice, but... on Point-and-klik Linux Software Installation? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can Klik install Gentoo Linux?

    Ah, give them a break, it is not like they are trying to sell a $10,000 USD toaster.

    "our value lies with people," - Companies exist to make money, not care about people. What kind of BS line is this?

  7. Re:Yes, you can remove Internet Explorer on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    Uh, you can still run MSIE after running that. Just fire up up explorer.exe and type in a URL into the Address Bar and it will automagically become MSIE.

  8. MSIE runs okay in WINE on Firefox Reviewed in the Globe and Mail · · Score: 1

    If you need MSIE for some sites that employ ActiveX, you can use this to automate the installation of MSIE 6 on *nix via WINE: http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/config.html Sidenet works pretty well.

  9. Re:Sounds stupid all around. on Microsoft Eases Licensing On Office 2003 Formats · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, IMHO, MA doesn't really care if they use openstandards or not. They just want to cut spending. Advertising interest in openstandards is just a ploy to get Microsoft to lower their prices so MA can cut spending so the politicians have something to brag about during their next campaign.

  10. I think MA may be just pulling a Dell... on Microsoft Eases Licensing On Office 2003 Formats · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They are trying to get Microsoft jealous by flirting with opensource to get Microsoft to lower their prices. Nothing to see here. Move along.

    How long until Coors brewing sues all of the open source beer users?

    Doesn't most bread come sliced nowadays?

  15. Re:VMware testing... on Avalon Preview Released for XP · · Score: 1

    It will be slow if it works. VMware does not support direct drawing very well (and it does not emulate a 3D card)

    However, if your automobile is shaped in such a way (kind of diamond-like), the radar won't return to the cop's device and he won't be able to clock you (the radar will be redirected in a different direction). Since radar is basically bouncing off the vehicle and returning to the device, this paint won't help you.

  19. What about windows, ducts, etc.? on House Paint Foils Wardrivers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How will you cover areas such as windows? If this doesn't cover the windows, war drivers are not foiled.

    Was your press fast enough to put together the book before Practical Gentoo Second Edition was out?

  22. The slashdot community... on Intel Helping Asia to Use Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The slashdot community seems to have a love-hate relationship with Intel. We want to see AMD overcome Intel in the processor wars. But then we solute Intel for it's interest in Linux, and bash AMD for it's cozyness with Microsoft.

  23. This won't effect the majority of pirates... on Microsoft Replaces Your Pirated Windows, For Free · · Score: 1

    The majority of pirates get their Windows from P2P, or a burned copy from a friend. If they wanted to get to the major source, they would have to become RIAA-like or something.
