@nocturn Firstly, don't group spam. Your keyboard type is not bound to the language. For date/time http://ur1.ca/pnuc from that post down.
@laibcoms identica has decided to stay at 150, sadly. The thing is that people can't agree on *one* higher limit so we could never win poll.
@fabsh I thought the User Exprience SIG (whatever Ubuntu called it) would be a good thing but clearly it was a chance for fools to gather.
@yareckon Roll your own multi-site install base then. It's not hard and you don't have to rely on packagers. http://drupal.org/node/43816
@twistergt Kompozer is good, but I never use IDEs for web development. Kate/Gedit+ Dolphin/Nautilus + BASH ! (sorry about English)
@oceanwatcher I don't get the Kate freezing problem but graphical editors are slow with big files. Love kate but #vim for huge text files.
@mo6020 They're not pushing linux forward. Their ugly & buggy shit is pushing it back! Go experience a real community such as in #Fedora.
@linuxcanuck !Can !please !not !group !spam? Use #tags instead. Not everybody in !linux wants to hear propaganda/lies about #Ubuntu Server.

@fabsh I think the "Mac is the be-all and end-all" usability douches love it. I can't stand those people.
Here it is: Learning to Program with Haiku, Lesson 10. Now we're starting to tie up loose ends before moving on to just C++. In this lesson, we learn more about pointers and kinda-sorta pointers called references, and we examine the basics of getting information from the command line. Also included are the answers to the review questions for Unit 2.

It was pretty obvious when he started appointing ex-RIAA people to jobs that had plenty of other candidates.

The Linux Foundation has announced sessions for its Collaboration Summit, scheduled for Apr. 14-16 at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco. This year's event features a full-day workgroup on MeeGo, as well as discussions of Linux topics including toolchain, cloud computing, printing, filesystems, ISV porting, and open source compliance....

Now that David Airlie's vga_switcheroo has went upstream in the Linux 2.6.34 kernel that provides hybrid graphics support and delayed GPU switching, David went on to look for something new to work on in his downtime when not busy with tasks at Red Hat. This new work is on GPU offloading / multi-GPU rendering...

@chrisjrn Linux time! - But anyway, just right click everything and you'll find what you need eventually.
Following the release of Fedora 13 Alpha this week we delivered Intel graphics benchmarks looking at the performance of an Intel Atom Netbook using the very latest kernel, DRM, and Mesa packages that Fedora is known for carrying. There are regressions in the Intel stack worth noting, but in this article, we are continuing in our Fedora 13 benchmarking by looking at the general system performance of the Linux desktop.

Benchmarking Alpha releases is completely fucking pointless! All you ever do is end up giving something a bad name before it even gets off the ground!
Opera Software has released a beta version of its Opera Mini 5 mobile browser for Android. Opera Mini 5 offers features including tabbed browsing, a password manager, bookmarks, and visual bookmarks known as & Speed Dial,& but there's no multi-touch support yet, according to the company....
While we are still waiting for the hardware drivers to mature for Gallium3D (particularly the Nouveau stack for all NVIDIA GPUs, the Intel 965 driver, the ATI R300g driver to mature, and then the R600g driver to come about), VMware has been working on their a software rasterizer as well through a Gallium3D state tracker. This new software rasterizer looks like it's finally coming about and is already delivering great performance compared to Mesa's existing software rasterizer that is rather crippled...

Back in 2007 we reported on Valve looking for a senior software engineer to port their Windows-base games to Linux, then in 2008 we said the Source Engine would be coming to Linux based upon our sources (something that we still believe in), later that year we also found a few Linux libraries with the Left 4 Dead game...

The Khronos Group has been updating the OpenGL 3.x spec about every six months and with OpenGL 3.2 having been released last August, we expected OpenGL 3.3 would be announced soon and figured it may come this week during the Game Developers' Conference in San Francisco. Well, it did. Not only did Khronos releases the OpenGL 3.3 specification, but they have also went ahead and already released OpenGL 4.0!..

@knopper67 I think most "workstation" grade laptops from Dell, HP and IBM/Lenovo *should*. Some workstation laptops are SLED/RHEL certified.
I was recently interviewed by Michael Bartholomew for his new podcast, Device Drivers, on omnes.tv. I talked about Haiku, BeOS, some of my efforts in relation to WebKit and the Haiku browser, and other topics. I think anyone who is interested in Haiku and BeOS will find it interesting:
