  1. Re:Running this puppy on Jazilla Milestone 1 Released · · Score: 1

    try ./jazilla.bat. works here.

  2. Failed business model? on Eazel Come, Eazel Go? · · Score: 1

    There has already been a large number of posts here about how Eazel didn't stand a chance from the start. Posts to this affect: How the hell could anyone make money off of GPL software? You obviously can't since Eazel failed. You can't make money off of services alone in the software world.

    Eazel didn't get a chance to even try it's business model. If Eazel would have not GPLed their software, they'd still be gone now. It's truely sad to not see Eazel's ambitions come into affect, they could of had quite an impact and that can be seen by the quality and innovation that is nautilus. And they could have proven this free software/pay services software model.

  3. aol is up to it again on AOL/gaim/Jabber Situation Explained · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I guess aol reads slashdot. I just got kicked off OSCAR using gaim with the good old "You're using an unauthorized client, please get a fully functionaly authorized one here..." Maybe they're trying something new now that they know what we know...

  4. The last blocker bug... on Eight Tenths Of A Lizard · · Score: 5

    I think before anyone posts to slashdot, they should read this bug report:

    http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6897 4

    Relating to slashdot's troubles earlier to-day.

  5. Re:He *said* he *wasn't* using a UNIX variant! on Living In A Microsoft Country (And Speaking The Language)? · · Score: 1

    hmm, i just want to know what non-unix variant OS he is using that runs netscape... that would be none on the pc...

  6. Re:Redhat + Mandrake on RedHat "Fisher" 7.1 Beta Out Now · · Score: 1

    Fisher has Mesa 3.4 and recent Glide from CVS. Detects and installs them for the appropriate videocards.

    Zope="The Z Object Programming Environment (Zope) is a free, Open Source[tm]
    Python-based application server for building high-performance, dynamic
    web sites, using a powerful and simple scripting object model and
    high-performance, integrated object database."

  7. Re:Do they turn unnecessary services off? on RedHat "Fisher" 7.1 Beta Out Now · · Score: 2

    It's not a distro aimed at novice users. It's a distro aimed at servers. Servers that like lpd, ftpd, and r-services perhaps.

  8. aqua on Turbo Nitrous Version · · Score: 1

    The thing at the bottom of the screen in OSX is the dock... The Control Strip isn't in OSX, this is from OS9,8..

  9. Why would I want Opera now? on Opera 5 Free... If You Want Commercials · · Score: 1

    The primary advantage of using Opera is it's lightweightedness and clean interface. Adding annoying flashing banners would hurt both of these advantages. I see no reason to run this browser in windows when there are free high functional alternatives... I'd commit fratricide for a decent browser in Linux that didn't cost 50 dollars, isn't totally archaic, unstable, and ugly (like netscape 4.x) and doesn't take 3 days to load and while doing so eat all my memory (like netscape 6 and mozilla.) I've tried every browser out there for Linux, and I'm yet to fine the one. I currently switch between netscape 4.x, mozilla, links, and konqueror depending on my needs (and available resources.) I still hold high hopes for Opera, and perhaps if I win the lottery when the final version comes out...

    Or perhaps I'm just too damn picky. Or perhaps all browsers for Linux suck. On the rare occasion I boot into Windows and launch a browser such as IE or Mozilla, I'm amazed at how superior these are in speed to anything in Linux running on the same machine. That depresses me. *sigh*

  10. Firestarter on GNOME, Security, Linux, and Cable Modems? · · Score: 2

    A great helix-code gnome using firewall program is firestarter, it configures a ipchain script through a wizard interface, and shows everyone who hits and how they are accessing yr machine.

    http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/

  11. This is a publicity stunt on Amiga's president unexpectedly resigns · · Score: 1

    The secret mysterious processor, the sudden silence, and now the departure of their president.

    When an Amiga is released, everyone will be so amazed, that we'll have to buy one just to see that it is real.
