Hi,

In case you missed it on /. here is a link to a benchmark about the
different filesystems described in the subject line. Note taht the
benchmark is in Spanish, but you can use babelfish or systrans to
translate it to English. The article can be found here

Re: Vgames

2001-05-11 Thread Stanislav Malyshev a.k.a Frodo

IK As to KHTML (used by Konq), it's much more forgiving than Mozilla.
IK Heck, it implements a 'document.all' object (for IE compatibility)!

If it implements full MSIE DOM (including all properties and methods ans
stuff) it's cool. But somehow I doubt it. But if it does not, this only
means they do a great disservice for the users, because now this browser
is detected by all scripts as MSIE (while if it didn't support MSIE but
did support W3C DOM, it would be detected as W3C DOM browser) and all
scripts that have different versions for MSIE and W3C DOM (a lot of them)
try now to use MSIE version and fail miserably. It's very bad to
masquerade as supporting something unless you do support it 100%.
Actually, if you support W3C DOM, you don't need any document.all's, since
the former is the accepted standard, all current major browsers support it
and all serious DHTML makers know about it and support it.

Not so simple!

I wish I could, but I'm so heavily tied into Mizrachi that it wouldn't work. (I 
sometimes wonder if I bank with them or
they bank with me.) I think that we need to put pressure on the public organizations 
into at least being cross platform.

A previous correspondent, Chaim Gelfenbeyn, mentioned problems with Bank Discount's 
Java package. I'm not surprised,
since Java applets tend to be very platform sensitive - browser differences, JDK 
version differences, support (or
non-support) for Swing etc. etc.

The simple truth is, that we need to get our own act together - and this is no longer 
a Linux issue. For the moment, the
closest thing to cross platform standards  are exemplified by tools like Java, Tcl, 
Perl. Of these Java seems to be
the best candidate for the matters which interest us.

The issue is not, therefore Linux vs. FreeBSD vs. Unix vs. Windows vs. Mac vs.  . 
It is open standards (not
necessarily open source), vs. the old proprietary standards bogeyman.

Although this is a Linux list, we would be sticking our heads in the ground, 
ostrich-style, to tackle the problem as a
Linux issue.

I  suggest that ,

1. We close this discussion here.
2. IGLU might either initiate or take a more active part in a list dedicated to this 
specific issue.

 Hebrew cannot be inputted direction-unchanged. As to the cursor

As for testing how things actually work on Windows,
The behavior on Windows in widgets and in applications is not necessarily
the same. In widgets:
leftCtrl-Shift  = align left
rightCtrl-Shift = align right
altShift = toggle between the first R2L and first L2R languages

As for when this happens, in the ?Ctrl-Shift case, the change happens when
the shift key is released, provided the Ctrl key is still down. It does
not happen if the Ctrl key is releasd first.
in the altShift case, it happens when either key is released.

In Word, f'rinstance. ctrlShift changes both language and alignment, and
altShift toggles between all the installed languages.
In Notepad, language and alignment always go together.

Not necessarily a model to go by. Alignment and language need not be
married to each other.

Thanks,
Uri


 marker being swapped, it's a purely cosmetic feature. In current GTK
 1.3, it's swapped after you enter a single letter of an RTL language
 and swapped back with a single letter of an LTR language. I suggested
 Owen Taylor to make it detect the group changes, but it doesn't seem to
 be a high priority for now ...
 
 So I assume he meant the widget directionality.

How did we get into this kind of discussion? :(

First, if you look closely in the archives of this mailing lists (either
linux-il or ivrix-discuss, whichever you're reading) you'll see that not
only Hebrew-speakers or Israelis are participating...

Second, you can't seriously expect hundreds of arabic or japanise [sic]
to be very interested in lists named ivrix (Hebrew Linux) or linux-il
(linux in Israel)... The few who are on these lists (even if they are not
Arabic or Japanese per se ;)) should be thanked and commended for their
efforts. Many of the Internationalization projects run by 100%-non-Israelis
are putting more effort into Bidi support than we are... See for example the
lists free86-i18n, fribidi, arabic-linux, gtk-i18n, and linux-i18n
to see what more people are saying (and doing) about bidi (as well as other
internationalization issues relevant to other languages).

linux in the goverment

2001-05-11 Thread dgi_il

Not ours... it's in argentina.

read it: http://www.terra.com.ar/canales/tecnologia/17/17180.html
it is in spanish but basicly it says that there was a proposal that all
goverment deparments and stuff will use open-source free software. AS A LAW.

At the end of the article it is said that linux will be ready in 10 years
for argentina. (or the oposite?)
