  1. Re:Donate to Assistant Professor! on How Can I Donate Old Hardware to Developers? · · Score: 1
    Clearly he's not an assistant professor. According to his MSN profile his hobbies include "Rollerblading, guitar, bass, Starcraft :P"

  2. Interestingly enough... on Fold 'n' Drop Window Interaction · · Score: 1
    This could easily be done with a certain fvwm configuration.

    More specifically one would have to compile in libstroke support for the mouse-gestures use metisse for the window-folding effects. After some configuration, one could do many of the very same (or at least nearly the same) things described in the article.

    Anyone care to try? :)

  3. List of improvements on Apple Releases OS X 10.4.2 Update · · Score: 0, Redundant

    AirPort

    * With this update, logging out of Mac OS X automatically disconnects the computer from an AirPort network if it is using WPA Enterprise security settings (this does not affect WPA Personal WEP-secured networks).
    * The AirPort menu extra displays more information when you enable a Software Access Point with this update installed.
    * Adds support for AES encryption of WPA-PSK networks, which are supported by many wireless access points.
    * The Try Again button behaves as expected when attempting to join a third-party, WEP-enabled wireless access point with this update.
    * Improves reliability when associating with wireless networks after waking from sleep.
    * Improves WPA2 wireless encryption support for AirPort Extreme cards.

    Mail

    * In Mail, if you retrieve and sort IMAP mail using multiple email clients, the counts of unread IMAP messages in mailboxes other than what's in your Inbox are more accurate with this update.
    * Addresses an issue in which IMAP messages deleted in Mail could unexpectedly "reappear" after a few seconds.
    * In some situations, a Mail message's attached graphic displayed as a small blue box with a question mark inside the message window, even though the attached file was just fine; this update addresses the issue.
    * Mail no longer tries to print an HTML message's remote images if the "Display remote images in HTML messages" option is deselected--the message is printed without the graphics instead--after this update is installed.
    * This update addresses an issue for Mail in which signatures with graphics were not appearing as expected.

    iChat

    * With this update, you can successfully send and receive AIM messages using iChat after changing network locations (without having to log out and back in)--from wireless to Ethernet, for example.
    * If iChat is logged in to your AIM account in Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.4.1, logging in to the same account on a different computer disconnects the Tiger computer without warning--this update adds a preference choice to iChat to avoid this, if desired.
    * iChat no longer states that the network is unavailable if you intentionally disconnect from the Internet using Internet Connect without first quitting iChat.
    * Improves video framerate for iChat when certain kinds of background processes or applications are running.
    * Resolves a situation in which iChat could incorrectly report "insufficient bandwidth to maintain conference," even though enough bandwidth was available.

    Finder

    * Addresses an issue in which the Finder could unexpectedly quit if Show Package Contents was chosen several times from the shortcut menu for the same package.
    * The Finder slideshow feature should now always work as expected.
    * If ACLs were enabled on an SMB volume, a Get Info window in the Finder wouldn't show the Details section when getting info on files stored on the volume--this update addresses the issue.
    * Addresses an issue in which a supported burning device could unexpectedly be seen as "unsupported" by the Finder.
    * The duration of MP3 files is accurately reported in Get Info windows in the Finder with this update.

    Other applications

    * With this update, many applications, including Safari, work better with proxy servers that require authentication.
    * With this update, you can use Safari to log in to MyAccount on cingular.com.
    * Safari pages scroll better with this update when scrolling with a scroll wheel (such as one on a third-party mouse or keyboard).
    * Orange iCal calendars, with alarms that go off while iCal is not open, no longer change color after the alarm is snoozed.
    * Addresses an issue in which Stickies.app notes could disappear unexpectedly if Stickies opens automatically during login (if it was set as a Login Item in Accounts preferences).
    * Addresses an issue for Adobe Premiere 6.5 in which the application

  4. Your dreams have come true! on New Debian-based Enterprise Linux? · · Score: 3, Funny
    lesbian linux is alive and well. From their website:

    Lesbian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Lesbian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.

    Lesbian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with more than 10000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

  11. New Trend? on Game Music Featured In Hollywood Bowl Concert · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Are we seeing a new trend of appreciation for videogame music here on slashdot? In the past week there has been at least three articles on the topic.

    First Nintendo Acapella, then the Video Game Pianist, now this.

    I for one welcome our new video-game-music-appreciating overlords.

  12. What I do... on Suggestions for Browser Bookmark Management? · · Score: 2, Informative

    is I just upload my bookmarks.html (from firefox) to a webserver. Then when I need them on the road, I just visit the URL. And since firefox keeps them in html-format, you can just view your bookmarks as a webpage. It works well. Try it!

  15. I wonder... on Revamped Linux Kernel Numbering Concluded · · Score: 4, Informative
    If this will make Andres Salomon security & bug fixes patchset obsolete since it pretty much focuses on the same things that Linus wants to see for the 2.6.x.y releases..

    FYI, Andres Salomon's patchset provides the foundation for Debian's kernels and has been discussed recently on kerneltrap here and here.

  16. I think... on Do F/OSS Contributions Make You More Marketable? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    it would definitely make you more marketable since it shows potential employers that you code for the sake of coding and not for the monetary profit gained by coding. In other words it shows that you love what you do.

  17. I'm not surprised.. on True.com Wants Warnings On Personal Ads · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Now people will have yet another reason to sue someone for not informing them of what they should figure out by themselves.

    Soon everything will come with a warning label, making warning labels as such obsolete and personal responsibility a thing of the past.

    This is just another instance of "hot coffee; do not spill!" and it truly saddens me to know that some people actually have to be told these things.

    Or is academia the only thing keeping Java alive? It really seems as if contemporary CS programs are there in large part to promote the continued use of Java.
    </conspiracy>

    Why is Java so popular in academia but not so popular everywhere else? It would make more sense for instructors to teach something like python instead (since it is arguably both easier to learn and quicker to write).

    Is it not time for Java to be deprecated in favor of something that's superior?
