I've built 2 CivicSpace sites in the past 2 days, lol.
I'm terribly disappointed with the events module, though. It seems... a little behind the (very very impressive) rest of the site.
The first re-release of code under the GPL was Jan 4th 2004.
The heavy modification of Scoop code was released under the name "Bloop" on the site.
This was just one of (iirc) some NINE projects underway.
At least 4 were released as publicly available modules. Others were floating around under testing and betas.
Sadly, the media ignored and left unchallanged lies about Clark and his campaign. We'll never know how far he -- the first major candidate to ever CONTRIBUTE to OS -- could have gone.
(btw -- the server has been moved in the past (month?) and some of the cvs links have broken down. If anyone wants a copy of Bloop, I saved it somewhere. The other modules, well, email the techies over there @ the clark site. (look under the techcorps section, I guess))
well, I cant say I've ever run into the drive/browse problem. I'm curious about it. I'll go look around...
As for the skin changer, I personally do that by changing a path in regedit. (for those who dont know, Geoshell's settings are basically listed in the registry). Overall, geo might be... picky, but I when I use it, I get a clear sense of cause and effect. Also, as you point out, it's minimal - that's certainly why I chose it in the first place.
Finally, 4.10 seems to fix a few things. When that gets put on the front page, it will be worth trying again:) It took me two installs to get hooked. But once you spend a few minutes shaping the interface around how you work, you dont want to go back. Well, I didn't:)
I've had ZERO problems with XP since week one, when I stopped using explorer ("exploder") as a shell.
I've run webservers, fileservers, gameservers, done sound and video editing, played games, encoded movies, watched DVDs, image editing, rendering, etc etc, all in various combinations without any trouble - and had month long uptimes. (Choosing to shut down every time) I'm not going to go saying that it's as stable as Linux can be... this is all just my experience. I still choose to have Linux on other computers.
If you dont like stuff crashing, I'd highly suggest an alternative shell. (look for a 4.10 version in the boards if you're bleeding-edge-inclined).
1) you need to have licenses (maybe via media player DRM modules?) 2) you can't play more than 60 songs on the playlist 3) others can't play your songs if you are offline.
1) where have you seen this said? I must have missed it. (not sarcasm, I really don't know) 2) you also can't have more than 10 people in a group. As far as I can tell, these are both because its still something like a version 2 prebeta 3) I don't see how you could expect MS to make software that sent out 600 mp3s just because somebody loaded a playlist. That would be both grossly bandwidth intensive, and blatent piracy.
I've fairly certain that this software is quite a bit outside of microsoft's world domination plan... at least, until it's popular.
One important point that Michael Moore missed, is that while Canadians [do] have a higher gun ownership per capita then the US, they are almost exclusively long guns
I've heard him mention that more than once while out promoting Bowling for Columbine.
What I got out of it, so to speak, is that I should read the book;)
At any rate, my first response to the review was a bit harsh, but it was only because/all/ of the comments I've heard about Solaris (outside of slashdot, too) have nothing to do with the ideas it/attempted/ to explore. It's fine that the reviewer didn't like the movie. Honestly, I hate most movies I see. But by not considering the intent of the film maker, previous versions, and/or the book... well, he's only providing a visceral reaction that is more dependent on the taste of the viewer than the quality of the film.

I'm going to choose to believe that's not sarcasm, lol. I should add, though, that even though this is a 'site for nerds' it's gratifying to find people (you) willing to attempt to DISCUSS the driving ideas of a film/book/piece of code/anything.
And for the 2 people that read my comments: I just found my old/. password, so I might start using this:)

Can it do star wipes?
They still make stereos that dont play mp3s?
Wow, that's weird.
it would be unlikely (no DRM) otherwise
Well, I think you'll be quite surprised, then. We'll see

Nixon gives Quakers everywhere a terrible name.
I can only hope that some day they can overcome that shame.
I don't want to be a big meanie, so I'll just add my 'congrats' here.
*ahem*
CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm glad you got so much out of it
