OK thanks. :)

I'm probably going to still be using KDE 3 after building my new system tomorrow, despite the fact that it's a 2.8GHz P4 with 2GB of RAM. I just like 3 better for some reason...

OK so I'm going to be picking up a new system tomorrow, and instead of using the likely-to-be-crappy onboard graphics, I'm going to toss in a GeForce 9800 GT I picked up awhile back. I know that nvidia has support for this in the FreeBSD driver... but the card seems to show up in both...

On the subject of Photoshop: I wish there was something in ports that was actually similar to Photoshop. I've always hated how gimp's interface is all broken up across multiple windows. :( Anyway, I've decided to go through with the plan, something simple at first to get used to the ports system.

Perhaps moving on to major version 5 really *was* a major update...

Maybe the caching is what's causing the problem. Oh, and I'm using the words "plugin" and "addon" interchangeably in my earlier post... should have said "addons" to be more clear. All plugins standard all around.

aZ, attitude like that is exactly the reason why a lot of independent developers quit. Please be decent.

ocaml looks kind of interesting... but I think I'll stick with C too. :) @UNIXgod: sillybasic is pretty similar to Applesoft BASIC, so it might bring back some memories. :) I haven't released it yet because there's a few features left that I'd like to add first (it currently lacks INKEY$ and...

Addons aren't the only problem with FF4. Even with *no* plugins, I found it reaching 250MB of system RAM and 300-400MB of swap with only two tabs open. This *never* happened in 3.6, and it doesn't seem to happen in 5 either. On my wife's system, she can have as many as 10 tabs open on her laptop...

OK I'll try that, thanks.

My wife has Firefox 5 installed on her Windows PC, and it is most definitely more stable than when she was using 4. I'm personally sticking with 3.6 for now, as 4 caused me major headaches in Windows and I can only imagine it'd be even worse here. And for everything else... there's www/lynx. :)

I'm using an Intel chipset on my laptop so this is good news. The existing Intel driver is good for most things here, but I'm really looking forward to proper 3D acceleration. :) KDE 3.5 sets my desktop resolution to 1680x1050 just fine, but games like quakeforge run slowly, and some others...

One of my software studios is considering doing some FreeBSD Ports of some of its more popular software and I was wondering whether or not there are content rules for new submissions. To be specific, these are adult titles, and though they are open source (BSD license), I don't see anything in...

I pretty much never go outside of C (gcc and HuC, and PHP if you count it as a C dialect), BASIC (freeBASIC [not yet in Ports, though they're working on a FreeBSD version] and sillybasic [also not yet in Ports, but only because I've not submitted it to Ports yet]), and assembly (nasm and pceas)...

Any time I set up an XP machine, it seems to be infected with Conficker within hours. It takes awhile of hardening the system to get it under control, but I am able to block the majority of attack points before even taking the machine online. Conficker is easily defeated, but even XP SP3 is...

First of all, what the fudge toolkit does Audacity 1.2.4 use? I figured it was GTK, but for some reason, certain elements of its UI are being a pain in the tail and I can't figure out how to fix them. Screenshot here: http://www.nodtveidt.net/whatthefudge.png The monstrous font in the...

I use FreeBSD for all of my robotics projects, including my incredibly large one, G.Project, which is to be a highly capable autonomous human-like robot. However, I can't think of anything in the wild currently that uses it... the price scanners at the grocery stores here all run Windows CE, and...

More an advantage than anything; it allows for a certain level of conformity. FreeBSD is a good blend of standardization and choice, whereas Windows offers the former but lacks in the latter (at the OS level), and Linux tends to be the other way around (at *every* level). Just my 2 cents. EDIT...

Got it working. :)

Yes, that was on. I'll make config it off and start from scratch. :)
