Planet SUSEPlanet SUSE - http://planetsuse.orgJeffrey Stedfast: Good News on the Evolution Front- July 14, 2008 Novell has just recently (end of last week) announced that Evolution will no longer require copyright assignment. This is awesome news that I've been hoping would happen for a quite a while now.Evolution's license is also changing to be dual-licensed under the LGPLv2 and LGPLv3.Thanks to Michael Meeks and Srini for making this happen!http://jeffreystedfast.blogspot.com/2008/07/good-news-on-evolution-front.html Kevin Dupuy: Because In 2008, Why Should People Have To Use Common Sense- July 14, 2008 Taken in a Lowe&8217;s hardware store in McComb, Mississippi. My sanity: taken away in a Lowe&8217;s hardware store in McComb, Mississippi.http://kevinsword.com/2008/07/because-in-2008-why-should-people-have-to-use-common-sense/ Masim Sugianto: Atheros AR 5007 EG on openSUSE 11.0- July 14, 2008 openSUSE 11.0 failed detect this hardware and wrong identifying the device as AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter. I usually uses madwifi driver for Atheros chipset instead of ath5k but the standard madwifi driver could not be applied for the device. After Googling for a while, I could make it works with the special AR 5007 EG madwifi driver, http:snapshots.madwifi.orgspecialmadwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz.

Finally manage to install dev300-m21 and run calc. Although I wonder why someone would even write semi constant error messages like copy ("$sourcepath", "$destdir$destination") die "Can't copy file: $!"; what really worries me is that this kind of crap does not get fixed right away. The rename sheet dialog crashes with Installation problem: cannot find.http://lilypond.org/blog/janneke#2008-07-14 Gabriel Burt: More Humor- July 13, 2008 On PoliticsDiscussing the madness here in Turkey - youtube is completely blocked - with Aaron and Miguel tonight, finally put to words, in the dialect of our times, what I'd been thinking all week:On TabsThe tab meme on pgo is pretty hilarious. Very surprised how many people are horrified, and I feel it's my duty to share a sampling of the 21 comments from my post:I want to diethis is great stuff. you can really feel how the gnome 3 announcement creates an incentive for innovation. rock on...http://gburt.blogspot.com/2008/07/more-humor.html Pascal Bleser: lame-3.98- July 13, 2008 Today I've upgraded the package lame (an MP3 encoder that is available in the Packman repository) to the latest version (3.98).I've taken the opportunity to revamp the package a bit:split into lame, libmp3lame0, libmp3lame-develadd -debuginfo support, making the package smaller and enabling debuggingbacktracingbuild lame-mp3rtp, an MP3 to RTP streamerbuild lame-mp3x, an MP3 frame analyzer (uses GTK 1.x)It does have a drawback though, which cannot be solved automagically by rpm: if you install...http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2008/07/lame-398.html Jakub Steiner: One Canvas Workflow- July 13, 2008 He&8217;re a raw screencast of me demoing the one-canvas workflow for creating icons with inkscape (and ruby ;). I have such an annoying voiceaccent, but you have to cope with it. I hope to create some more screencasts if people find them interesting.

Why You may ask, here&8217;s a sample&8230; Beware, as you follow this link back to Rob&8217;s blog and see the rest, I&8217;d not be drinking or eating anything, unless you have a CPR-trained person nearby.

As I am a lazy hacker, the ideal solution at the time for me would have been for Google to open source its nice browser sync extension and then adapt it to the online desktop myself. I tapped my contacts inside Google to see if open sourcing it was in the cards. It wasn&8217;t. When I saw that the extension was being discontinued (and slowly-but-surely being replaced by Mozilla...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/joeshaw/~3/333807418/530 Joe Shaw: talk about a &8220;very narrow viewpoint&8221;- July 13, 2008 I just came across this boneheaded blog post about Google&8217;s newly open-sourced Protocol Buffers: They claim they could not use XML because it isnt going to be efficient enough for this scale. WTF If this statement came from someone else, I would understand, but these guys are supposed to KNOW markup. Speed in a system in sic NOT just optimizing loops in code! It is the architecture: messaging, storage, and re-use. Yes, XML can be fat, but so can any other language. And if they took the...http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/joeshaw/~3/333991739/531 |
