Also it does not have hidden files it saves of everything you do on the internet that it does not tell you about and you can't delete from a menu in the options.

I use bogofilter with procmail and uw-imap. In the last month it's had zero false positives and only let one actual spam into my INBOX. Those numbers are a pretty typical month; I've never had a false positive (I still scan all my spam once it's sorted because I'm paranoid. I'll quit eventually). I initially trained it with about 1000 spam messages and 200 or so good ones.
Mom can't set it up initially, and it needs to be implemented on the server, which might rule it out in your situation depending on who provides her mail service. That said, at this point all I have to do is drag any miscategorized mail to the appropriate trash box. A cron job processes these mailboxes regularly and corrects any errors that I've identified.
It's effectively the same thing as having a "delete as spam" button (in fact, my mutt macros make it exactly the same), and works with every mail client without modification (Outlook (Express), Eudora, even webmail). Mom could certainly use it once it was put into place, and would probably love it as much as I do.
It's free, low maintenance (really no maintenance aside from dropping one or two miscategorized messages into the right boxes each month), amazingly accurate, tailored to the user (I have numerous bothersome newsletters that aren't technically spam but that I don't want and can't seem to unsubscribe from sorted with the spam) and highly flexible. My parents saw me using it and have been begging me for something similar.
Actually, I'm not even ready to mark them as stable after they're officially released. PHP seems to have a lot of, "Oops! Here's a follow-up release three days later that fixes something horribly wrong with our last release."
That said, PHP is still a great tool in the right situations in the hands of the right people. The more books we can get that encourage the legions of newbie developers (I'm not trying to be derogatory) not to write dangerously wrong code, the better.

If I'm not mistaken, enabling GTK2 doesn't get rid of XUL. XUL is essentially responsible for "describing" the UI, which is then generated using the GUI toolkit you enable. emerge'ing with WANT_GTK2 simply says that the XUL is ultimately rendered using GTK2 (instead of GTK1), not that it isn't used anymore.
On any project like this where there's potentially evil uses mixed in amongst the various good ones, you're bound to get a few angry people who don't understand how helpful your work is to the community at large.
How much criticism do you have to deal with? And how does it compare to the kudos you receive, quantity-wise? Has it ever made you doubt what you're doing?
PS- Thanks. nmap proves its usefulness to me every day.
I must use google hundreds of times a day and it seems to be as good at finding what I'm looking for as it always has been. I like the idea of being able to search only blogs, but is there a need to remove them from the main index too?
All these specialized search engines are nice (usenet, images, blogs), but I still want the ability to search everything at once. Being able to find everything under the sun by typing "g [text]" in my browser's location bar is the best part about google to me. Please don't complicate it needlessly:).
The Simpsons tends to get neutered in syndication so they can fit more commercials in. What you saw probably has nothing to do with the content being offensive.
Sadly, they remove some really funny parts from the episodes. Or, they remove something from a scene that doesn't appear to be important, but makes a certain joke "work" better if it's there.
Of course they can refuse his offer. They've been refusing it for quite a while. That's what's gotten them where they are right now. They can continue refusing his offer and go belly up. I won't be crying for them, and I certainly won't be missing Avril and Britney.
His demand is unrealistic? He's offering to pay money to get what he is getting for free right now because he wants to do the right thing. He's not the one hurting, nor is anyone else on the P2P networks. They're holding all the cards at this point, and if they're willing to toss the recording industry a scrap or two of what they used to get IMHO they need to jump on it and learn to live with the new arrangement. They don't seem to have any other viable plan of action. Like it or not, the days of forcing people to pay US$20 for an album of one song they want and a dozen they don't are over.
Stealing music is immoral and illegal? Wow, that's nice. You enjoy those morals of yours; I'll be over here listening to hundreds of hours of high quality free music. It seems everyone else will be joining me. Maybe the companies of the RIAA can come live in your fantasy world with you. It sounds like they'd like it there.
It's not as though there's no precedent for two OSS projects to share a name. Look at Gentoo the Linux distro and Gentoo the file manager. At the very bottom of that second link you'll find a little note from the developer of the file manager saying "Gentoo the Linux distribution has nothing to do with gentoo the file manager, except the latter runs on the former. I actually used the name first, way back in September 1998. I've been in touch with the Gentoo folks, and we're cool."
That's how things should be. I wish Gentoo-as-file-manager's author would go smack some sense into Firebird-as-database's whiny users/developers. Of course I also wish it didn't take a pack of lawyers to pick a name for your fucking software.
Wow, what a load of self-important bullshit. This may surprise you, but scrapping years of work and 17 million lines of code because Overly Critical Guy isn't happy with KDE isn't always the best course of action.
You say that asking "where's your project?" is pointless, but you couldn't be more wrong. The point of it is that you have no idea what kind of investment there is in X11, nor what the impact would be of just throwing it out to make something that clones GDI or Aqua. You don't know how many people throwing out the old code would anger, you just know that it would make you happy.
Maybe X isn't "there" yet, for you. That's fine, it's not "there" for a lot of people. Hopefully it will get there at some point; ideally by intelligently moving forward without breaking what's already there more than necessary. It'd be really nifty if X could, eventually, be the all things to all people that everyone wants it to be.
What you need to understand is that you get there by starting at a certain point and then moving to fill in what you're missing. You don't get there by throwing everything away and starting over from somewhere completely different each time a vocal new user throws a hissy fit.
Gee, and all I have to do to get this free HTML editor functionality is bury myself under popups and deal with new exploits every other day? I get plenty of icons and toolbars, right? I also want an annoying media player integrated into a sidebar, or no deal.
All without shitty Java code to run in my VM! Long live ActiveX!
Die.
PS- How the fuck can you write even a "couple lines" of ASP (I'm assuming VB or JScript) and call Java code shitty? I'd kick you in the genitals if you were anywhere near by.
Well, I'm typing this response courtesy of a remote browser window. I'd say less than half my applications are running on the machine I'm sitting in front of at any given moment, for various different reasons.
The fact is, myself and the majority of people I know who have any sort of real UNIX desktop experience find ways to use remote X windows every day.
We shouldn't lose functionality or have to jump through hoops just because someone decided without any sort of numbers to back it up that networking is X's "problem". Nor should we be inconvenienced when a bunch of whiny new Mandrake users buy into that bullshit and decide immediately that their machine isn't snappy enough.
Bottom line: Any problems you have with the speed of your X desktop almost certainly have nothing to do with X's ability to spit out pixels. Until someone can disagree with that and provide numbers to indicate that X's networking is to blame, there's no compelling reason to rip it out.
I'm not trying to pick on you individually, I'm just tired of seeing what appears to be completely groundless nonsense posted as if it's obvious fact.
You need faad2 to get the sound for this and other new QT movies in MPlayer. You can get source from faac.sf.net. RPMs are out there. Debian users have it easy, just add this to your/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main
then apt-get update && apt-get install libfaad2-0 libfaad2-dev
Rebuild MPlayer and everything should *just work*. The 640px trailer plays flawlessly fullscreen in MPlayer on my laptop.
Hm. I've got a pretty close setup on my gaming box, XP1800, 512MB, GF4 4400 and it worked fine there on Win2K/QT6. Of course, that was after it basically made my P3 1.1ghz, 512MB, GF4 Go laptop cry when I played it in MPlayer.
Where I used to live there wasn't a store that sold high end monitors anywhere near by. I ended up buying a 21" Sony FD Trinitron direct from Sony. I paid quite a bit of cash for it at the time, and quite a bit on top of it for shipping (it weighs a ton), but I don't see myself giving it up anytime soon and it's already three years old or so.
The moral of the story, for me at least, is that if you can't see the exact (as in actual piece, not model) monitor you're going to buy, as long as you buy a high quality monitor from a reputable manufacturer you'll probably make out okay.
That said, if you have the luxury of being able to check out your exact monitor yourself beforehand, you'd probably be silly not to.
This changes a little bit with LCDs. When you start worrying about bad/stuck pixels, you'll definitely want to be able to look at the thing before you plunk down the large chunk of change you're probably spending. But even if you do end up with a LCD with a bad pixel or two, most manufacturers seem to be pretty good about replacing them without a lot of hassle nowadays.
Actually, It'd probably be easier trying to sort that out with the manufacturer than it would be to have to yell at some customer service drone in Best Buy for an hour. I'd probably still buy mail order from some reputable entity. You'd get a better price, too.
