Thursday afternoon humor. Boy some of these are really funny.
Display technology is something that has become important to me as of late. Here are some of the vendors selling LED and Diode based display options.
Just posting the links here for future reference.
If you are not a programmer but still want to help out with KDE development there are lots of things you can do. This tutorial is the first in a new series to do just that. It teaches non-programmers how to add “What’s this” support where its lacking. Just think about… submitting patches and updating applications just like a full blown programmer. Its a great (and needed) way of becomming a KDE developer.
Ever wonder exactly what air brushing does to photos of models? How does the before image compare the the after image? How pretty do you really need to be to make it as a fashion model in an “air brush” world. Check out this little eye opener and see.
MichNews.com is a conservative news and commentary website I found today. I am generally socially liberal and economically conservative (with the exception of a few important issues.) Found the site interesting enough to want to go back and read more articles. With all of the liberal bias in the media it was nice to read some news articles that were slanted the other way.
This article does a good job of showing the current and future prospects for the desktop Linux market. Wonder what PC’s will look like in 15 years?
…and SCO’s solution to it. For those of you who are not familiar with BBspot I strongly suggest you check it out. If only that article were so far fetched.
Application developers on Linux have been looking with great interest at the upcoming Reiser4 file system developed by Hans Reiser. Although there is a great number of currently supported file systems on Linux (some better than others, some better at other things than some…) Reiser goes along way in fixing one of the most persistent bugs in file system theory; that of handling small file efficiently.
A great article discussing some of the possibilities that become possible with the Reiser4 can be found here. The longer I work with computers the more I am convinced of the accuracy of *nix style OS development. Microsoft seems to agree also; with recent moves to extend the command line, create a command line only server OS, change the way the system looks at data (that of all file/folders/devices/drivers being objects), etc.. etc.. etc.. Heck, given enough time and money Microsoft will invent…. Unix!
I love JEEPS! Not those mambee-pambee YJ/TJ valley girl (“I use my 4wd to go over the really big speed bumps.”) Jeeps… no, no, no… I love CJ/MJ Jeeps. I am currently in the market for a pre 1986 CJ7 in fairly good condition. Great place I found is Sport Utility Performance Center . Lots of good Jeeps! Real Jeeps.
For those who follow KDE development there is a GREAT page for analysis of the current KDE project here. Includes information concerning code, modules, commiters and does both statistic and graphic evaluation.
