  1. This also affects NWN. on Borland Releases Kylix 3.0 for Delphi and C++ · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Never Winter Nights gameeditor for linux hasnt been released because of this. It was build with c++ builder but they couldnt release it for linux because they didnt have Kylix yet to allow. Yew! Wonder who fast isle can provide the editor ;))

  2. Re:RedHat Limbo on Perl 5.8.0 Released · · Score: 2
    PACKAGE-VER.SI.ON-BUILD

    So, you got Perl as a package, version is 5.8.0 and build 29 of the stuff thats inside the package. Now, if its 29, it doesnt really mean that its 29th *public release*. Maybe the maintainer made testings with different build configurations or so on ...

  3. Where's Wilco when you need him!?! on More on Orbital Space Debris · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think NASA should hire Roger Wilco to clean up the mess. He has excellent CV for this kind of stuff..

    Interesting on that given site is that they are openly saying: "Interop Systems: GPL Source Code".

    Check out that "Related sites & Resources box".

  7. Re:F-Secure, SSH, or OpenSSH on SSH-Based Solutions - Looking for Industry Proof? · · Score: 2

    True allthou SSH is the company who makes it, F-Secure have only licensed the product to sell it. They even had huge fights here in Finland (where both companies are from) over that licensing issue...

  8. Re:Client side on SSH-Based Solutions - Looking for Industry Proof? · · Score: 2

    That company is not called Datafellows anymore. They changed the name toe F-Secure like year or two ago atleast.

  9. Re:Russia? on Tiny ccTLDs - Who Should You Register With? · · Score: 2

    I dont know about .com/.net/.org.ru but atleast few years ago when my company setup few machines under .ru tld, we had to move few machines there since there's some crappy laws like "if you are serving .ru domain, you must serve it from inside the country". Dunno if this is bogus or not but thats how few phb's put it out...

  15. New Distro ? on United Linux is Here · · Score: 3, Informative

    Few question. How many of the current redhat/enterprise users are going to change the distro just because few competiting companies are now making up some standards ? Havent read anything about the case but.. what standards ? LSB ? Isnt redhat also supposed to follow that also ? blaah. This is just marketing hype...

  16. Re:Does art work in Open-Source? on At Long Last: Stable Version of FreeCraft Game Engine · · Score: 2
    How about Tigert ? I know for sure that he's great artists and not just "freesoftware doodler". (I work in same company that he used to). Not to mention my companys (java)games (allright, not "opensource" but "free to to play") which look really nice for that certain genre. (Note, tigert didnt do the graphics there)

    The thing is, its really easy to claim to be "artist" because you can clain "artistic freedom". But it takes a real master to please the crowd with your work. And ofcourse, its so easy to start up "doodling" in the new gimp canvas... And because of this, real good artists are hard to find.

    But if you really want the proof that there are really good artists that are donating their work freely, check pretty much any pc/amiga demo..

    More and more im thinking (and writing this), its just matter of channeling the efforts. Most really good artists want to do their own work and not put their efforts in some games because it might restrict their freedom. Same thing happens pretty much with coders. Or have you seen OSS coders to post "Looking for project to work with, any project will do!!" messages ? No, if they/we have an itch, it will get scratched.

  17. Re:Perhaps on Will Evolution Exchange Microsoft? · · Score: 2

    Since when you last time used Evolution ? Not recently or you have something seriously wrong in your system. (Well, you do ofcourse, since you are running kde^H^Hmail) But seriously, personally, ive been using evolution since the first public release. I used to lauch redcarpet first thing in the morning and download the absolutely latests cvs snapshot builds just for the kick of it. And only 2. There has been a showstopper bugs. In both cases, i ended up my whole messagebase being duplicated again and again.. till i had something like 100000 mails in few folders. That was about over a year ago now. Since those few crucial things where fixed, i cant remember evolution crashing, halting or even misbehaving not twice, nor once. It has a rocksolid ride all the way. All thumbs up for this wonderfull project.

  18. Few items i find bugging. on What Turns You Off About Evaluation Software? · · Score: 2
    Major downers for eval software in my list are:
    • - Registeration.
      • Not once or twice i've evaluated software and had to give up basicly everything including my soul and years after, i still receive phonecalls and spam from companies/products that where utterly useless in same way or another.. I just bloody hate that! Not to mention long delays on receiving valid activation keys.
    • 30 days period.
      • I work in quite busy field and my time is just too damn tight. I might have a change to install something, even browse some docs but i wont be a suprise if someone comes by and orders me to do something else when that happens often .. 30 day limit aint going help jackshit when reviewing something for serious use..
  19. Re:Googles response. on Google Ad-words Poetry Project · · Score: 2
    Being a non-native-english-speaker, if someone says "google's response to the story", i assume that google personel would have actually partisipated in more personal way than just some automated message.

    Atleast, it would be more entertaining to read their real point, not just some set company policy,bumbaclaat.

    "The site also includes google's response."
    Since from when, has the automatic answer based on some mathematical formula been a "response". Duh, even thou this is quite interesting, i wonder what parts the original poster did *not* read..

  22. Re:Better performance? on Apache 2.0 Goes Gold! · · Score: 2

    As a sidenote, apache (atleast 1.3) series ships with its own benchmarking tool called ab. So, while you where writing a shellscript to time the requests, you could have just written:

    ab -n 3000 -w http://localhost:8080 ab -n 3000 -w http://localhost:80

    Another sidenote, few issues back in the Linux Magazine was article about Apache 2.0 and it gave me a quite good impression what apache 2.0 is all about but it also left me with feeling that 2.0 is not performing as fast as 1.3 because of new modularity in pretty much every phase of the server processing the request it takes... Hell, article even said that with a little coding, you could turn apache 2.0 to working imap server!

  24. Re:Use Opera [6.01] to preclude the ads... on Alternatives to Yahoo! Groups? · · Score: 2
    With "splashscreens" i didnt mean anything done with javascript nor flash/shockwave. When you hit a legit link in yahoo messageboards, sometimes you get to an another page with full text + image advertisement and another link to forward to the place you really wanted to go.

    Havent really checked how those adds are done but most likely they are somekind of session/redirection combinations and thus, kinda pain in the arse to filter *totally*

  25. Re:Put 'em in jail on Isolated Apache Virtual Hosts? · · Score: 2

    It will work if you provide different ip address for each vhost / daemon to listen to. Single ip vhosting in chrooted environment for each vhost might provide either diffecult or totally impossible (havent given a thought about how it could be done if its possible)
