  1. Languages are like hammers on New Python/C# Bindings Expand KDE Languages · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're missing the point.

    You pick the language you are familiar with or most importantly of all - the language that makes it easier for you to solve a problem (doesn't matter if it's scientifical app or GUI or ..)

    Languages are just like a regular tool, you pick the right one to do the job.
    If you want to do some heavy crunching you pick a heavy hammer (fortran, C) and vice versa.

    In this case they want people to use *their* favourite language to make GUI applications for KDE.

    Another one from Miguel. Good work!

  3. Ericsson T68 is here today... on New Nokia Phone · · Score: 0


    It doesn't have a video camera, BUT it has trippel-band coverage which is better of course in the U.S.

    Nokia will release their phone in a couple of months...

  4. Re:Does X 4.0.x still work? on Linux 2.4.8 is Out · · Score: 0

    Read the release notes.................

    Yes, you can still use your old 4.0.* but you have to do some magic first as Linus writes.

  5. Re:ext3 ? on Linux 2.4.8 is Out · · Score: 0



    ext3 is already in Alan Cox's patch.

    Get the latest ac-patch and apply it and you'll have ext3. I know since I use it :)

  6. Re:You know what would be really useful? on Linux 2.4.8 is Out · · Score: 0

    Well, you have the kernel-howto.
    http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html
    It was upgraded in July this year.

    But I know that several people on the linux-kernel mailing list are working for a cleaner interface when configuring and compiling the kernel.

    No?

  8. Re:Gee... you think? on New flaws in 802.11B · · Score: 1

    Wake up...

    The performance of FHSS systems is lower than DSSS systems, typically 50% - 33% of DHSS systems. This is the greatest disadvantage of FHSS.

    The only disadvantage of DSSS is that you can't point antennas at each other on the same channel or it will boost the SNR beyond belief. Strategically placed antennas will NOT have this problem. FHSS can deal with it better, however you still lose bandwidth.

    Another disadvantage when using FHSS is the frequency problems. 79 in most parts of the world but then you have japan and france(?) with what, 23?

    And of course FHSS might be harder but it isn't hard to crack either. Ask any army boy you know that works in that branch.

  9. slow.... on LinuxHardware.org Agenda Preview · · Score: 1

    When I played with it at CeBIT I noticed two things.

    First of it was a bit too plastic, It felt soggy in my hands. This could of course be because it is a developer release...

    Secondly it really was dog-slow... It toke ages to start a simple application. Anyone knows if this has some likelyhood of improving?

  10. Hold on to you domain... on What to do when your Domain is Threatened? · · Score: 1

    AFAIK you have a good chance of keeping it since it is a non-commercial site.
    But of course asking a lawyer wouldn't hurt :)
