  1. Re:Linux on UK Schools Warned Off Microsoft Deal · · Score: 1

    For young children, tux teaches typing is good, a few years ago, I used a kde typing program, though I can't remember what it was called, but it grouped the keys into coloured groups for each finger, which was a cool visual aid.

    I use Mac now, so if anyone knows any good programs for os x, post them here!

  2. Re:yeah, but it's not bootable :-( on Apple's OS X Leopard In Depth · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah i know where you are coming from with the non bootable thing, but you don't have to install leopard then restore time machine. As part of the installation leopard will ask you if you have a time machine folder with data you want to restore.

    No, none at all, apple only have serial keys on their super expensive pro apps.

    It makes a directory for itself on the root of the drive, no partitioning needed. :)

    Word to the wise here, OS X has a built in web server as well, you tick the box under the web sharing pane in system preferences to turn it on. It's the same as yours, apache.
    I can share my internet connection over wireless frequently when there isn't enough wired to go around at university, and no wireless AP.

    What BSD window manager is as good as the new leopard finder?

    And no I didn't mean kernel, don't fucking tell me what I mean you pretentious little twat. there's more to a UNIX-like OS than the kernel.

    Haha, fisher price PC, that's a good one.

    Btw, my FisherPriceBook Pro has a UNIX core, I ssh into my CS university account from home to do my work, do my programming in what is IMO the best IDE I have had the pleasure to use.

    What "more power" do you have that I don't?

    I know you've switched away, but leopard's testers say that is fixed now, thanks to some UNIX thing called autofs.

    I don 't use ubuntu anymore, but they didn't use to share the DVD version, except by bit torrent.

    Don't CDs store data digitally?

    Masala wine was never used by the Indian people, and Balti was invented in Birmingham.

  15. Re:Huh? on Apple May Be Breaking the Law With Policy On iPhone Unlocks · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think he means SIM unlocking in general, which is fairly mainstream in the UK. If a friend asks me whether he can give his phone to his mum or it needs unlocking he would certainly understand my reply.

    Surely halo is better than your average FPS, in that you are killing weird aliens, and not other humans. Except in MP of course

    Your tax money goes to fund an NHS homeopathy hospital in London, whilst other local health trusts are desperate for cash.

    I didn't do anything special. I didn't test passworded DAAP sharing, maybe that's your thing. The client was amarok, the "server" was a mac mini.
