    What about the moderator that already did know about this bug...

  2. Great start on Serious Bug In 2.4.15/2.5.0 · · Score: 1

    Now it can only get better :-)

  3. Re:It is a start on Linux Breaks 100 Petabyte Ceiling · · Score: 1
    What annoys me is that the disk drive manufaturers seem to be unable to comprehend the idea of 'automatic configuration'. Why should I have to spend time telling my BIOS how many cylinders and tracks my drive has? I have a couple of older machines with somewhat wonky battery backup for the settings, every so often the damn things forget what size their boot disk is. Like just how many days would it take to define an interface that allowed the BIOS to query the drive about its own geometry?

    Have you ever used any post-1980 systems?
    (Hint: For several years the drives have been able to give the bios this info, and it has also been used for several years)

  4. Re:hardware acceleration on DirectFB: A New Linux Graphics Standard? · · Score: 1
    If you use hardware acceleration for your GUI, like people want for OS X, how will apps like VNC display this, if it goes straight to the graphics card?

    Maybe the apps can read from the video-memory.
    Can't be to hard to figure that out...
  5. Re:So what exactly does Apple want? on Aqua Mozilla OK with Apple · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "Mozilla's appearance is all defined at run-time, and everything including its own buttons, menus, scroll bars, is a Mozilla custom component, not part of the OS standard UI toolkit."

    This was the worst design decision(?spelling?) with Mozilla. Big, bloated GUI, slowing down the good, fast rendering engine. Who wanted this? Had someone had an overdoze of Winamp skins?

  6. Re:The Buildings on More WTC News · · Score: 1

    Of course,

    but it is still important to know what part of impact-force, heat or structure-destruction that made the buildings collapse.

    This can be important information when building new towers.

  7. SuSE is the way to go. Good docs *much* SW on What's A Good Starter Linux distro? · · Score: 1

    SuSE is the distro I love more and more. All software precompiled and patched to work great from the very beginning. The boxed set also have all documentation you need to get started very quickly.

    I belive it to be the MS of the Linux if You recognise MS as the makers of very user friendly software.

    They are *not* the MS that makes buggy software.

    SuSE is just dependable and secure all the way.

  8. Great. Now you have just educated ... on Eliza for Spam · · Score: 1

  9. Re:They don't walk the walk on Scott Handy Tells What's Up With IBM and Linux · · Score: 2

    And how does this matter?

    As long as they are helping us, they can use whatever OS they like, and if they stop help us, they still can use whatever OS they like. I just can't see how it would matter in any way?

    PEEK and POKE is *not* stack manipulation instructions. They are used to like pointers in C to PEEK at memory (read bytes in memory) and POKE at the memory (put some data at a given address).

    The DATA statements are a used as *very* simple form of database table (think of a static, forward only cursor (recordset) in a real database).

    I'm already using Courier POP, IMAP and Web-access, and I really believe it *is* Enterprise ready.

    I would like to see a proof of database is better then maildir before I would want my mail stored in one.

    If I remember correctly nameplanet.com is using Reiserfs and maildir for their mail. And I believe they have a "true enterprise-grade store". Thousands and thousands of users.

  18. Re:Where's the BottleNeck? on Shotgunning Ethernet Connections? · · Score: 1

    Maybe he is connected to switch and running a full-duplex connection on the port.

    Couldnt that give him a true 2MByte/s (20Mbit) connection?

    In that case it is resonable for him to increase that lousy :-) bandwidth with another NIC.

  20. They loose customers. on Will Browser-Neutral Web Soon Become Thing Of Past? · · Score: 1

    They loose customers if they depend only on a specific browser.
    The owners of the company that is loosing customers want more customers, and that will learn the company to adapt to the other browsers.

    And if the TOBC (The Other Browser Company) invents something useful, the features will creep into Mozilla/Explore/Opera/etc and the evolution of the web will continue in a healthy pace.

    Enough said.

  21. Re:Of course we can do both... on Why Software Still Sucks · · Score: 1

    It's like if a carpenter only could use the screwdriver.

    A programmer can never be a real programmer if he doesn't have the experience from at least one other language.
