To distribute copies to people with skills to help me modify the program to suit my needs is one thing, but to other end-users? I think that demand causes problems. I think that demand is why we get called hippies and communists. Oops. Someone just stepped in it... and he wasn't wearing sandals. :)...

Say one of the people in your office starts complaining about Windows XP on their home computer and you suggest they try Ubuntu. They're concerned that something that costs nothing can't be any good. Does the fact that they've been running Firefox for 2 years help you to convince them to use Ubuntu...

Randal, I think we're shooting at different targets here. My point to Gomer_X was that I don't think FF adoption does all that much for Linux in terms of promoting it in front of the mainstream user. I'm not speaking as a developer, or about developers. I think your right in that free and open sourc...

I've posted about this before (in one of the other threads), so it's evident to me. Although it's not spelled out in detail every show, it's obvious that FLOSS weekly is NOT a Linux show. Actually what I meant was that I didn't know that Randal wasn't interested in Desktop Linux and therefore would...

I'm not terribly picky, but if I have to put personal unpaid effort into it, it's gonna be a subject that I am personally interested in (and I don't find mainstream Desktop Linux all that interesting). I don't know why that's so hard for y'all to figure out. I'm not too sure that was evident to any...

With respect to playing TWIT bashing Linux, it's not hypocritical at all that TLLTS bashes windows. It's like this: If TLLTS stated, "We are a tech show, devoted to giving you the best in technology, period. No bias, or any slandering of viewpoints that are valid." Then TLLTS would be wrong in MS b...

One other quick thing. Maybe someone should point out to Andy Ihnatko exactly how many of the MacBreak weekly picks are either open-source or based on open-source tools. Just going through the first page or two of the Macbreak weekly picks site: http://www.mbwpicks.com shows that there are lots of t...

First of all, I cringed a little bit at the playing of clips of Linux bashing from the various Twit broadcasts. While many of those comments pissed me off, what immediately sprung to mind is that we could likely string together 8 full hours of Windows and Mac-bashing comments from the TLLTS shows ov...

Been noodling with Inkscape a little bit trying to create mesh type patterns and came up with this. Thought I should post it here. It's pretty simple and might interest those who like dark themes. It's at 1280x1024 (make sure you click the imageshack page once you get there to view the full resoluti...

As someone who's also got a long commute (hey that's what podcasts are for), I sympathize with Pat. However Dann's solution for Pat's long commute problem was very creative. Allan could drive Pat in on his Gold Wing... it could work: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6957/patallancommuteho6.th.jpg

I'm assuming you don't want to go down the blogging engine route. It's really pretty much a static page with perhaps one window or area that contains updated information like Planet posts, forum topics etc.. You don't necessarily have to go with a narrow two column layout that looks simply like a bl...

That is because you are going to different sites in some cases (calendar, other shows) or different engines (wiki, planet). We're lazy so styling everything similar may be asking a bit much! Hehe. I don't blame you. I think putting a pretty face on the main site and linking off to separate pages or...

While the search is somewhat useful, I find the 'past guests' page on the wiki to be indispensable. A direct link to that or a searchable version of that data might satisfy a lot of those needs.

I know the guys have mentioned a couple of times that they'd like some site re-design ideas. I haven't seen any discussions flow by in the forums (unless I missed them), so I thought I'd do a quick mockup idea just to generate some discussion. Keep in mind that the mockup is only for layout discussi...

hey, do you feel like we are the only two people left at the party here?

Actually I only came back because I felt bad for you. But now I'm actually making out with a chick in the corner. So leave me alone.
