First, I realise that this is probably redundant, but article removed without even an explanation? Does anybody know why? Secondly, they've been promising that G2 final for Linux would be available last year for a year now:), I suppose this counts as the answer. I wonder if Real is ever going to come through with at least a beta for Be.

I should think you're all going to vote for Duke (if you don't know, you don't read Doonsebury.) His site runs (at least according to NetCraft): www.duke2000.com is running Apache/1.3.3 (Unix) (Red Hat/Linux) on Linux Go duke!

You can already see the fruits of this productive partnership in Internet Exploder 4.0: After you install it, the next time you logon it pops up a status box saying "Setting up personalized settings for: Internet Explorer". But it never asks you for any settings! One can only assume that the NSA has already preprogrammed your settings into IE to make your life easier.

I've often wondered what it would be like if we could "teleport" visionaries of previous ages to the modern era - I'm glad to see it's not just me. Would our time be unrecoganizeable (sp?) to them, or do we think too much of our technological advancements, and maybe our life _is_ basically the same. That's something only they could answer - everybody alive today has become accustomed to technology in our lives. What do you think?
It's also nice to look back on some of the visionaries that we've forgotten. It seems that before a view becomes widely accepted (heliocentrisim, in this case) it has to be touted by others first, and sadly it doesn't stick the first time around. It'll be interesting to see if the Internet can change that with freer access to other's ideas.
I apologise for the hoorrible speeling.

Put up a version of the theme with something else in the apple logo place, and supply a ready-to-use script with the theme that takes in the Apple MacOSX screenshot on their site and cuts out the apple logo, and puts that in the theme instead. Andybody want to give it a try?

I know this is slightly OT, but what exactly did RSA patent? Is it the basic modular system that's included in every elementry cryptography textbook? Or is it something far more complicated? Thanks for helping me out here.
"The romance of Silicon Valley was about money - excuse me, about changing the world, one million dollars at a time."
First, I'd have to agree on the BeOS. It's great - I use it when I get frustrated with X or NT.
Secondly, I like the concept of a combined GUI, only I'd do it with function keys, i.e. F2 for select, F3 for grep, etc. Then to do a grep Password * | select, i'd hit F3 Password F2. Did that make no sense? Good.
Thirdly, I think there is already a file manager for X that does it. emelfm, anyone? It'd be in the GNOME software map. It looked promising.
Lastly, is anyone going to see this? It's too far down in the nesting chain. Bump it up a point if you see it.
"The romance of Silicon Valley was about money - excuse me, about changing the world, one million dollars at a time."
You're right. I've been saying this for a long time. Solaris, Linux, and the *BSDen look like the winners here - the others are either dead or will be dead. (And HP-UX is starting to smell - would somebody _please_ finish that port? I don't own any PA-RISC hardware so I can't finish it.)
Moderate this up. WAAAY up. Even if you don't agree - those who browse at 3+ should see this and have a chance to respond.

Well, as it turns out, there's yet another dead desktop - OpenWindows. I know that OpenLook is open source, along with the shell and the window manager, but nothing beats the coolness of the OpenWindows file manager. Yes, there's a clone, but it's just not the same. Well, as you would know it, Sun killed OpenWindows in Solaris 8. Are we going to let this cool piece of technology die? No! We're going to petition sun and ask them to open up the rest of OpenWindows to go with OpenLook. After all, it _is_ dead.
Good job. Anybody that runs a project knows the difficulties of releasing code. It's a lot of little stuff. I recently released something that didn't unpack into a new directory. Whoops, forgot to check for that! Anyway, the moral of the story is that you've got to check a lot of things before you can just go off and throw out a tarball of some source. Thanks for a good system. I understand the wait.
Btw, if anybody wants to get involved with a project, click my homepage link. I need help.
Red Hat offers the standard Linux command-line tools for monitoring the server, such as iostat and vmstat. It has no graphical monitoring tools.
The monitoring tools they seem to be looking for are network monitoring tools. The three or four mentioned (gtop, xosview...) are NOT network load monitors. There is a net-flame epplet, and I believe gkrellm monitors networks. Please interpret correctly before responding.
I don't normally complain about moderation, but this is clearly wrong. The article about LinuxOne, and their upcoming IPO is very relevant (also, other posts about the IPO were not moderated down.) Methinks that the moderator just didn't like this guy's point. So? As I often say, if you don't like it, reply with a logical list of reasons why. His point should be refuted decently, else you (the moderator) are no different than the hot-grits and f1rst p0st trolls.
And yes, I'm willing to lose karma for this guy's right to express his opinion.
One of the bugs (features?) in the/. system is that there is no 'general discussion area' for people just to post, yak, etc. (except for tacohell, and nobody goes there anyway.) Everything has to be on topic, else it's moderated down. While this is a good thing for the articles, it doesn't lend to tangental thinking or general discussion. Perhaps/. just needs some general discussion areas? (Moderated, of course.) That way people can flame, yack, etc. without being penalized for being ot, or flamebait, or otherwise.
I include the standard disclaimer: If you don't like this post, reply with a list of reasons you don't like it. Don't moderate it down or flame, please. (Up moderation is acceptable.)
Then 10,000 teenagers appeared, with very childish, polarised, worldviews, and no real knowledge of computers other than saying Windowz Rulez pisses off Linux users.
Actually, I am a teenager. That kind of stereotyping can lead to trouble. My worldviews aren't polarized, and I am able to run NT and Linux (and Be) without being a 'windowz rulez' or a 'linux rulez' person.
The anonymous coward is, like Katz said, an equalizer for the communities on the net (esp./.). Most think of flames and stupid troll comments when you think of the anonymous coward, but intellegent comments also come out of the ac, as _well_ as a lot of official posts from companies being flamed in an article. Perhaps if people took the time to see who posted a comment they liked, the might find that it's often an ac. In addition, many funny comments end up from ac's, particullarly because people do not want to ruin their karma if people don't like the joke. I know I do that. I'm also going to include a bit of my reply to roblimo's apology: A lot of people flame because they don't like the posted opinion. My karma is actually negative currently because of that. The point is, no-one should get flamed for the simple act of expressing thier opinion, nor should they be moderated down. Sadly, there's no way to do a 'you must be at least this smart to post or moderate'. The unintellegent posters will continue - lets make the rest as smart as possible.
And please don't moderate this down if you don't like it! Reply with a logical list of reasons you don't like it instead.
I have to say that there is a serious problem with/. if roblimo has to apologize for posting something because the replys aren't intellegent discussion. The problem isn't with the/. crew, but instead with the people who reply. I can't recall how many times I've been flamed off or moderated down simply because I expressed an unpopular opinion. It's a discussion forum, people! Discuss intellegently! Sadly, there's no way to do a 'you must be at least _this_ smart to post (or moderate) to/.' rule. The problem is that the same caliber of people who flame the article for being posted are also moderating (sometimes) simply because of the way the system works. Too bad. Maybe there simply outa be an 'intellegent' label for comments, and a filter for everything that isn't.
Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux will be an XWindows product (DUH). Because of this, do you think that Corel can get into the Internet office thing again by using XWindows as the basis for a fast-but-easy distributed office suite? GraphOn does make an XWindows server for Windows. This (or perhaps VNC) would make it possible for WordPerfect Office to be used over the Internet without having to fumble with Java.
Or, do you think that processors such as the Sun MAJC can increase Java performance enough to make it acceptable to the average consumer?
For that matter, do people care about office suites in Java anymore? (It seems Sun does...)
And finally, Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux beta has already been delayed once. When will the beta program start? Will it start? Or will the linux version fade into the dead-code dust?
