  1. Re:Helping check compatibility is the right idea on Microsoft Makes Testing IE6 and 7 Easier · · Score: 1

    Just test on Konqueror for Linux. I think they use the same rendering engine, khtml, right? Then it should be roughly the same.

  2. Heh on Software Dev Cycle As Part of CS Curriculum? · · Score: 1

    The software development cycle is in the Australian software design and development course developed by the NSW Board of Studies for High Schools.. and the Information Processing and Technology course includes system analysis, process mapping, project management, project implementation plans etc. So, in short, here in Australia, it's already being taught.

  3. Re:Debian derivatives/Ubuntu/Kubuntu on Red Hat Says They'll Be In Linux Long After Novell · · Score: 1

    Ahem. SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop is superior to Ubuntu/Kubuntu by far. Much easier to use and better support - Ubuntu and Kubuntu are much more community-oriented, which doesn't suit corporate landscapes as well.

  4. Novell/Ubuntu on Upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy Eft a "Nightmare" · · Score: 1

    I use SUSE, and I upgraded from 9.3 to 10.0 with very few issues (although I admit there were a few - but little required even going to a console to fix), and then from 10.0 to 10.1 with no issues, and then I upgraded *again* from 10.1 to SLED with absolutely no problems whatsoever - and I have a customized installation with runlevels edited, custom modules compiled and installed, NVIDIA drivers, SMART Package Manager, etc. etc.

    Yet it's upgraded very smoothly for me every time - it even lets me boot the old kernel in case something goes wrong with drivers or whatnot by adding an entry to GRUB.

    If Novell can do it, so can the Ubuntu team.

  5. Synergiser on $5000 Award for Open Source CMS · · Score: 1

    Synergiser (http://synergiser.symcube.com/) is rather immature but shows promise - and doesn't need fancy SQL or anything like that, just a webserver with apache, unzip and php.

  6. Re:Before the MSFT bashing commences on Windows Vista still Rife with Insecure Code · · Score: 1

    Windows Live Messenger Gamma 1 featured a totally different GUI to Windows Live Messenger Gamma 2.

    Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 included a total rewrite of the ODBC system as opposed to Beta 1.

  7. Re:OT but.. on Microsoft Stops Supporting Win98 Early · · Score: 1

    Yeah, well, think about it:

    Your average XP install, with DirectX, .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0, .NET SDK and media center extensions comes up to about 9GB.. so Vista will include much of this in the ultimate edition by default.. there's your 10GB.

  8. Re:Should be modded "insightfull" not funny on The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time · · Score: 1

    3.11 addressed many memory issues, and it certainly was not difficult "futzing around" to find the DOS device drivers. just run Windows' Sysconfig and open up the Config.sys file.. add necessary entries. Certainly no harder than DOS and DEFINITELY no harder than UNIX.

  9. Re:Not really on Microsoft Flirts with Open Source · · Score: 1

    Actually, the FreeAllegiance project is based on Microsoft's Code - they were given permission by Microsoft to alter and redistribute the code. So, free software by petition.. it's better than nothing :P
