    Eh, it's just the first time I've stayed up late enough to squeeze in a first post, so I wanted to come up with something at least vaugly clever enough to make it worth posting, but not take so long that I miss the opportunity.

    And instead you got hit with a "redundant" and a "troll". Worth staying up?

    LOL, well, it's not the REASON I stayed up, but you do have a point. Although, I think those two mods would be more appropriate if they were switched. I don't see how the very first post can be all that redundant, and I REALLY don't see how being honest about my motives was trolling, but whatever.

    No hard feelings, but I would be amused to hear the moderator's motives, out of simple curiosity.

    neither does 'off of'. the correct way to say it is 'based on'.

    Is there an OSS equivalent to Adobe Pagemaker? I was hoping there is one so that I wouldn't have to deal with the bloat of InDesign (or its whizbang interface), just for one steenkin document.

    Hell, they might even post them to this thread and undo the modding! That would really rock, huh?

      I hadn't thought about that. Of course, it's pretty sad that I have to cross my fingers for my comment to get a '1'. :)

    Ok, this "I, for one" crap is starting to piss me off. Just say, "I do not quite like the interface..." See? It's easy, you save words, and you don't hint pretentiously that you may be speaking for dozens of other people instead of just yourself.

    Worst meme ever.

  11. Power management on Linux-for-Mac? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Slightly OT, but this is as good a place as any...

    Can anybody who runs Linux on their Mac notebook tell me how the power consumption/management is? Does it last longer than OSX? Less? How much?

    Thanks for the feedback!
