I WON, I WON!!!!
YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA!

Lets hope Dann doesn't take too long to get to the post office. Go Dann, Go!!!!

Thanks a lot guys. I'll think of you all when reading the book. Now is that a good thing or not? LOL

Ah come on Pat, sarcasm is not foreign to you.

Hey, thanks Mr PH Guru,

Is there any protocols you live by to make your PHP projects secure?
IYO Are there specific libraries to avoid?

I've been listening to Pauldotcom.com security weekly lately and those guys are very, very negative about the security in PHP projects. What is not clear to me is whether it's PHP itself that is insecure or if it's the possibility of getting away with sloppy code that is the cause. I am planning to ...

I sent in my contribution.

Pfffffff, just listened to all of the old episodes. I'm TLLTSed out ..........

My 3 year old daughter has her own portable (PIII with 64MB of RAM) running Debian Lenny. I installed GCompris on there straight from the repos and she loves it. She boots up and just waits for the desktop to appear (auto log in) and then just presses the flag key, I don't want her to get accustomed...

For me, Slackware is still one of the cleanest and purest distributions out there. Even with slapt-get, I can still enjoy the simplicity of my Slackware installation while having the dependency checking I need for say, something like Ardour. I tried to do it with just the slackbuilds and compiling,...

When running Slackware, compiling is always my last resort. The first place I check for packages is SlackBuilds.org. They have all the major software that Slackware doesn't ship with. Failing that, LinuxPackages.net and Slacky.it is usually an option. http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.1/game...

I know about slapt-get, but what would be the reason to stick with Slackware on a destop machine if one would turn the dependency checking back on?

This is the last post I make from Slackware. I totally give up on this distribution. I like the cleanness of it and I did learn heaps from it but I am fed up with having to download and install package after package after package because I want to get one single package running. Yep, the dreaded mis...

I made some progress but got stuck, so I'm baaaaaaaaaaak. ascpid is running fine and detecting my battery, power button and five power modes. dsmeg gave me all info I needed. I can configure almost everything in KDE but can not find any power management application to run in xfce on Slackware 12.1. ...

Thanks for the info.

I'll give the links whirl this weekend and try to get things set up.

I'll be back with feedback.

This is a continuation of the " Slack and ATI " thread. The machine is still the Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook C series (PII 766MHz, 64MB RAM, 6GB HD). When I run Puppy on this machine the battery lasts a very, very long time (considering the age) and pushing the power button puts it to standby mode very...

Well Mesa isn't a driver, it's an open source implementation of OpenGL for UNIX-like platforms. Since that graphics card isn't supported by ATI's Linux drivers anymore (which include their own proprietary OpenGL library), Mesa is your only choice. This is the actual answer I was looking for. :-D Ma...
