    Can I be the leader too? I coded plenty Java, and nobody heard of me as well!

    2.6 will be stable in the same release that will ship KDE4.

    Why can't US govenment, and any other government pass a bill into senate that it is illegal to distribute the browser that is not fully CSS2 compliant? It's no different than having specs on car safety and emission rules.

    Why bother with that Windows crap if you have to do all that work to use it? Use truly free OS, there are plenty nowdays.

    So I don't understand people's fear. If Oracle buys it and turns it into crap, you can always fork the latest source prior to the acquisition, right? Am I missing something?

  12. Re:IE team would be pretty surprised... on Opera Purchase Rumour Control · · Score: 1

    Perhaps MS' internal beta testing of IE7 makes them see what a crap it *still* IS comparing to competition, and they come to realisation that no matter how hard they try to code around IE there is no way they can compete on the merits of pure quality. So internally they may as well have come to conclusion that doing what has work in the past may be the best choice: buy Opera, re-brand it with much less effort than code/fix IE, and viola! Opera-based IE7 could still ship faster than the IE7 we're seeing in beta right now. Plus, it will make them look good when they say "look poeple, with Vista IE can be un-installed!".

  13. Re:Windows lookalike? on KDE 3.5 Released · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but sudoing and figuring out which device is mapped to your usb is not KDE's job to automate. I agree with the parent that it's just more bloat. I'm still running KDE 3.2 and can manage all my removable devices from within Konqie without ever leaving the mouse. You just need to setup udev and proper rules, then update fstab with links in /dev/ generated by udev. And your fstab entries will show up in Konqie under devices, which then you click and it auto mouts them for you. Once I've set that up for my dad who is a truck driver, he never once called me with problems on how to access his SD card, iomega zip drive or a CF card from USBAT connector that came with his MP3 player.. Bottom line is... configure from shell once, live graphical forever. This latest KDE enhancement does make it IDIOT proof, because same thing was user friendly already. Now, if KDE is capable of configuring udev automatically, as I had to do manually then I'd be impressed. But that will never happen given all the distros in the world...

    Why is the ./ effect misunderstood by so many? It's almost never the server, but the low internet pipe. This is so obvious on slow loading static objects, like images for instance.

    Don't have to look far to show prior art already exists.. Emacs search for regexp, but more notably a commercial solution comes to my mind. Something called TextPad has a similar find feature, where checking "Regular Expression" box on the "Find" dialog does the trick. Simple proof of concept regexp:

    [0-9][0-9]*\|one\|two\|three

    and your find will highlight words one, two, and so on along with numerics. And my grandma could expand this further to match this powerful feature Bill claims is "innovative" and thus patentable.
