Another issue that frosts a lot of people is the audio quality. Compared to the other shows in a similar vein, I believe we are pretty much in line. But we do not stack up to IT Conversations or TWIT. There is no way we really could without investing a lot of cash into our infrastructure; which is ...

You don't make it to episode 142 without doing something right. Sure, sometimes the pause are a bit long, but most other tech "podcasts" are 1) boring as hell, 2) full of commericials and whoring, 3) don't make it to episode 10, or 4) all of the above. And this "arktis" guy is a complete troll. Just...

Something I was thinking about the other day, Qt has been GPLed for almost six years now, and since a lot of people like the idea of a lightweight desktop, why havn't there been a such one, built with Qt? Xfce uses GTK, and in six years you could get quite far on a such project. Qt = C++ C++ != lig...

there definitely is a Qt based light weight WM, its called qlwm. I don't really think its ground breaking, and don't know what the project status is either.

That said, I'm not really sure why more WM's aren't written in Qt. Maybe because KDE is so successful?

Care to elaborate? i could write a 10 page essay, but I'll keep it to 2 strong points: its floating point implementation and the detrimental effect it has had on education and a generation of CS students. That is absolutely laughable. I think we're going to need that mysterious "10 page essay" rath...

Abandon Java? You guys sound like radical nutters. ... I mean that's just laughable. I must say, the idea that Sun should simply abandon everything and simply work on Open Office .. is just stupid. I'm not quite sure how to respond to that. Anyway, with respect to placing Solaris, Java, etc under G...

With the default install, Suse is the slowest and heaviest distro ever. It starts every daemon ever developed since 1994, the GUI is clumsy, and Yast makes me want to kick puppies. People keep mentioning alternative package managers and tweaking can make suse as fast as any other distro, but really...

Again, say Solaris is placed under GPLv3. So what? The community already has a working, technically superior kernel and everything else necesary for a free operating system. We don't need Solaris. We needed them 12 years ago, but not anymore. And you bring up an interesting point about OOo. I don't ...

So not only do you have to trade in one of your nuts to get that damn thing, but it'll burn off your other nut while using it?

What does Sun expect? That all the f/oss hackers will flock to Java when/if its GPL'ed? Sorry, but that ship sailed maybe 6 years ago. Because frankly, we don't need them anymore. I hope Sun finally goes bankrupt.

thinkpads are fairly linux-friendly (or at least they were when IBM made them). Therefore any mainstream distro from suse to gentoo to the debian spawns should be fine. go nuts.

Last I heard, Macs don't even come with a full copy of quicktime. But its yours for a mere $29.95! what a bargain.. a giant, ass raping bargain.
