Slashdotted and reported by many other news sites, IE will change the way it handles ActiveX content. They tell you that there will be minimal impact, but I don’t believe it. Some problems will be with ads, you’ll need 2 clicks to close those nasty things, to stop music and the case is worst in […]

The C(haos) day
Wednesday, March 29th, 2006Torrent Web
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006Torrent is a nice techology that enables distributed access to a file. Users share their connection and in the end the server doesn’t need to handle huge bandwidth problems and it saves costs. While this is desired by some, there are places where this scheme needs changes. For instance, Torrent could be used to balance […]
Cool bet from Microsoft
Tuesday, March 21st, 2006I’ve checked the news (sourceforge) before, but now I needed to check some information about Microsoft Expression ?suite? and I saw the videos again. I’ve to confess that I’m impressed with their work. Not only they are managing to create a possible Fireworks/Photoshop killer but they are bringing together the designer and developer rules. This […]
Managing my email
Thursday, March 16th, 2006For about 2 years now, I’ve been using dovecot as an local IMAP server to store my email. Truth is that it is becoming more slow each day. So, I’m planning to move it to my server and start handling all the email in there. I’m thinking of giving a try to cyrus and something […]
Corba.Net
Monday, March 13th, 2006While using the native .Net libraries you only have two options to Remoting: Tcp and Http. While this is enough for most cases, people wishing to integrate with Java and other Corba implementations may miss Corba.Net. I’ve not tested it either in Mono or .Net, this is only a reference to anyone that may find […]
jsx
Sunday, March 12th, 2006One of the benefits of ASP.Net is that you have a set of controls specially designed to handle different browsers and HTML versions. While the structure is there and somehow it actually works, in ASP.Net 1.1 some MS controls don’t actually work well in other browsers but IE. Thats MS implementation fault, not ASP.Net fault. […]
Suspending Linux
Thursday, March 9th, 2006Presently to suspend you desktop or laptop you only have two options. The stock swsup that comes with the kernel and Suspend 2. Swsusp never worked for me, on the other hand Suspend 2 does a great job providing me an hibernation like experience with graphical suspend and resume phases. The sad thing is that […]
Why should I not want Core 5?
Wednesday, March 8th, 2006I found this on a Fedora Forum: Quote: Originally Posted by ImNeat: Why should I not want Core 5? One word: MONO AKA: Microsoft .NET framework infecting Linux… Looks like not everybody is a Fan of Mono yet… Anyway, I checked out Gnome 2.13.92 using Garnome and gave it a try. The default theme is […]
Toughts about Linux, Windows and Mono influence – Part III
Sunday, March 5th, 2006Hehe, nice to know the ammount of comments/reads that my two previous posts had. Got people from OpenSource movements to Microsoft coders! The sad thing, and yes I think this is related, is that someone was trying to hack my server and I had to shut it down for a while… can’t people read an […]
Toughts about Linux, Windows and Mono influence – Part II
Saturday, March 4th, 2006Well, the feedback to my first post was so fast that I decided to move on with the second part of my planed article. The fact is that I’ve used gentoo and initng but those aren’t standarts. Gentoo isn’t for the home user and if you aren’t one you should be able to tweak the […]
Toughts about Linux, Windows and Mono influence – Part I
Saturday, March 4th, 2006Each time I boot a Windows XP machine I wonder why the hell is it still faster than my tuned Linux box which only starts the needed daemons? Why does Outlook startup under 2 seconds and Evolution takes ages? And questions like that. If you ever have done a Windows Service or even look carefully […]
