Submission + - Seeking a great Linux text editor

Submitted by

on Wednesday February 28, 2007 @11:08AM

PetManimal writes: "Sharon Machlis is seeking a Linux text editor that can replace the functionality she's used to on Windows using NoteTab Pro. The specific features she needs are:

Good text manipulation — things like changing text case, joining lines, stripping html

Programmable macros

One-click html tagging for things like bolding, centering and adding links

Straight ASCII text only (leaving out the OpenOffice word processor)

Editing functions such as spell check

She's tried out Kate, Bluefish and ActiveState's Komodo Edit, but she says they don't make the grade. Do Slashdot readers have any other suggestions?"

Submission + - New AMD Chipset Brings HDMI and ATI Graphics

Submitted by

on Wednesday February 28, 2007 @11:07AM

Vigile writes: "Today AMD announced the new AMD 690 series of chipsets that feature integrated graphics based around the aging ATI Radeon X700 core architecture. It is the first AMD branded chipset in nearly 4 years and features some interesting features; one of which is the inclusion of integrated HDMI support. This should make for an interesting HTPC design though as PC Perspective reports, without support for decode acceleration of HD-DVD and Blu-ray, that HDMI is mostly just fluff. They also report that though the gaming performance is better than what NVIDIA's current 6150 chipset offers, it still doesn't impress as they'd hoped it would."

Submission + - Not Certified for Windows Vista

Submitted by narramissic on Wednesday February 28, 2007 @10:44AM

narramissic writes: An article recently published in the Knowledge Base on Microsoft TechNet identifies applications that have earned the "Certified for Windows Vista" logo or the "Works with Windows Vista" logo. As is often the case, what's really interesting is not which vendors' apps are on the list but which aren't — Adobe, Symantec, McAfee....

LaoziSailor writes: "Current Cites, February 2007 presents an article that touches on an issue that may concern many of us.

Follett, Jonathan."Envisioning the Whole Digital Person" UXmatters (20 February 2007). — This article looks at the growing mass of digital artifacts that we accumulate from cradle to grave and wonders how to deal with it from the user experience or designer's point of view. The material in question includes everything from email to photos and is likely to be around far longer than we. The suggestions on what to do as "user experience practitioners" will sound familiar to librarians: "...we can advocate for data portability, accessibility, and standardization and prepare ourselves and our customers to manage our new digital lives." — LRK

Submission + - Blair please give us lower Vista prices

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday February 28, 2007 @10:41AM

An anonymous reader writes: And I thought I had seen it all... Britons are trying to petition PM Tony Blair to ensure lower Vista prices as customers feel ripped off... Read the story here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/02/28/blair_wind ows_vista_price/ One can't help wonder when a petition demanding Tony Blair stay away from free market competition and allow M$ to set their own prices for goods and services arrives at the PM's desk via http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/ — After all if people are discontent with Windows and it's price — might it not be time to change to another operating system?

Submission + - Performance problems complicate market decline

Submitted by jcatcw on Wednesday February 28, 2007 @10:34AM

jcatcw writes: Keynote Systems, which monitors Web site performance worldwide, saw a 25% decrease in the number of transactions it could execute at various online brokerages from 1:30 p.m. EST until the market closed at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, February 27. Sites including Ameritrade, Fidelity, Firstrade, Muriel Siebert, Schwab, ShareBuilder, TD Waterhouse and Wells Fargo all experienced performance issues, according to Keynote. The New York Stock Exchange itself experienced intermittent delays toward the end of the trading day, which may have further complicated a major sell-off in U.S. equity markets. A sell-off in China's equity market fanned worries that stock valuations there are too high, and some data indicated that U.S. economic growth may slow.

Submission + - Samba Success in the Enterprise?

gunnk writes: "We've deployed a Samba server here to replace some aging Novell Netware boxes. It works great: fast, secure, stable. However, we have one VIP that feels that Samba is "amateur" software and that we should be buying Windows servers. I've been searching with little success for large Samba deployments in enterprise environments. Anyone out there care to share stories of places that are happily running large Samba installations for their file servers? Or not so happy, for that matter — better to be informed!"
