Yes, and nobody will buy your software from that freebee site because nobody know about it.
Exactly.
That's why there's no Windows freeware or sharewarre, and Linux never took off. Nobody knew about those BBS' or obscure FTP servers that hosted those projects...
Being smart isn't so much of an evolutionary advantage now, is it?
If they had been smart, they wouldn't haven been caught. If they had been smarter, they wouldn't have done something that stupid. If they had been really smart, they wouldn't have had the need to change grades...
It's not only what you are able to do, but being able to choose wisly when to use your talents.
are you using windows on a not-so-fresh processor? because i am and when i gave opera a try it failed hard on delivering the same user experience as firefox on massive browsing like opening 30 tabs at once. it simply hung or crashed. firefox never crashes when i give it that kind of abuse.
Well, that's funny. I just uninstalled Firefox from my PIII 500 MHz, 192 MB RAM laptop and installed Opera, because working with Firefox was unbearable.
Don't get me wrong: I like FF and I am using it on my faster (1 GHz+) PCs, but on everything that's slower or has only limited RAM, Opera is the way to go.
Firefox was and is a memory hog.
Oh, and Firefox crashed on me more often than Opera did, over the years.
This is obviously an AntiVirus program running under KDE. Don't let the border style fool you. Look at the folder icon, look at the form and style of tabs etc.
Not really, I live in Germany and all I can think to say to this lawsuit-happy dickhead is, "thanks, douchebag!" I, too, live in Germany, and I say: "Yes, man! Stand up for your rights!"
In the end, he registered and used the trademark long before Google. If Google was not willing to research the trademark 'GMail' before they started using it, it is their fault and not somebody elses. They should have used GoogleMail to begin with.
Germany, Italy, Norway, or the UK have no space programs (cannot make rockets to get to orbit), so what's your point?
Have you ever heard about some organisation called, say, ESA?
You may be surprised to hear that all four countries you mentioned are members of ESA and therefor able to get rockets into orbit:)
Tor will not be outlawed, but anybody who runs a Tor server from within Germany has to log the connection data, which pretty much goes against the idea of Tor.
But running or using Tor in general will not be illegal (from what I unterstand).
Anyway, you statistically cannot rehabilitate 100% of criminals, so by rehabilitating, you have a 100% chance that you are in effect purposely releasing offenders to later commit more crimes. In other words, if you "rehabilitate" and release, say, 1000 murderers, and on average say 5% will re-offend, you are basically KNOWINGLY causing another 20 avoidable murders of innocent people by knowingly releasing killers onto the streets. WTF? How did such craziness arise in our society?
You know, there are criminals out there.
By your logic you have to do something about it.
But how can you prevent those criminals from commiting a crime?
Ah, yes: Lock them up. And since you don't know who might become a criminal in the future, lock EVERYBODY up. Yes, including yourself.
That souns ridiculous? It is.
Just as your statement.
Many political parties in europe are banned, which I think is a travesty.
I can't talk for all those parties and all members of the EU, but here in Germany a party is going to get banned when it doesn't accept the democratic basis of the country's society.
Why should a democracy allow and even support a group with the declared aim to destroy that democracy?
You shouldn't assume that parties get banned lightly.
A lot of people call for banning two right-winged (and I mean _right-winged_, not just 'very conservative') parties here in Germany. But because they don't openly talk against democracy and because their actions stay within the limits of the law, they are free to do their political work.

You are aware that all the tools tested are general purpose compressors, and FLAC is not, aren't you?
Otherwise, you would also have to talk about Wavepack, Monkey Audio, Shorten and others. And those are only the loseless audio codecs. What about lossy codecs?
What about all those different formats for pictures? They compress data as well. And what about the different video codecs?...
Well, that may be true for the US and Australia, but customer rights are (for the most part) no empty shells in Germany and the E.U., so that doesn't hold true over here.
We can also legally buy OEM versions without hardware, so if you are in need of some MS OS and want to spent as little as possible while staying legal...
There was a know bug in Windows 95 preventing it from booting (well, most of the time) on AMD processors with 300 MHz and more.
Microsoft has a patch that fixes that problem.
I have been running Win95 on K6/K6-2 CPUs for years.
And you seem to have missed the fact that the WiFi card is not build into the Thinkpad, but a PCMCIA card.
So the problem has NOTHING to do with IBM and ThinkPads.
Same for the modem.
So all the hardware that was build into the Tinkpad seemed to have worked properly.
Both programs import OpenDocument, an explort filter ist currently developed and will be part of a free update.
In my opinion, the DOC support of TextMaker is better than that of OOo.
I ran the predecessors (TextMaker 2002, PlanMaker 2004) on a very old notebook (i486, 66 MHz, 12 MB RAM), and it was usable. Slow, but usable. Try that with MS Office or OOo.
Somebody here said that the programs are not really 100% MS Office compatible, and he's right. It's stupid of SoftMaker to claim that. But: I did some tests with Textmaker, OOo and Abiword some time ago, and Textmaker imported my Word files a lot better than the others.
That's why I use SoftMaker Office: It's small, it's fast, it's a lot mor compatible to the de facto standard MS Office. It's not perfect, granted, but it fits _my_ needs better than anything else I know of.
Oh, and SoftMaker ist currently developing a presentation tool.
Plenty of people have started churches, and many were clearly liars and frauds. See, for example, L. Ron Hubbard or Joseph Smith. Or Mohammed (if you're a Christian).
Actually, a lot of Christians don't see Mohammed as a 'fraud' or something like that.
Islam and Judaism are considered related to Christianity, since both believe in the same one God (even if they 'miss out' on some aspects like trinity.)
As far as I know, Islam does see Jesus as a kind of prophet.
Christianity roots in Judaism (Jesus as well as almost all of his diciples where Jews).
and so on
So all that antagonism between the three mayor monotheistic religions has little to no basis and was introduced by people who had their own agenda.
So the use of Mac OS is not limited to Apple hardware?
Since when?
(No, don't tell me about hacks -- there will be hacks for Vista as well)
The rights of users of Mac OS are just als limited as those of Vista users.
You don't need to switch distros with *buntu either.
The different *buntus aren't really different distros, but rather the same distro with different DEs preinstalled. You can easily switch DE at any time, you just need to install the proper meta package (or whatever they call it), containing all necessary packages.
That's the theory.
Reality is: Almost every show or movie on the state owned stations is sponsored by a company or product, and the productions of the state owned stations often display commercial products in a wy that's basically advertising ('Schleichwerbung'). And they get sued for it.
So they _are_ be influenced by companies.
Um.... the last time I downloaded OOo via BitTorrent it took all of 10 minutes zu complete.
Also downloading Linux-ISOs via BitTorrent ist lightning fast with downloadrates way above 200 kByte/s.

Outlawing Tor is very much specific to Germany.
Tor will not be outlawed, but anybody who runs a Tor server from within Germany has to log the connection data, which pretty much goes against the idea of Tor.
But running or using Tor in general will not be illegal (from what I unterstand).

Some 6 years ago I was working in a small company.
3 machines running WinME, without major problems and hardly any BSOD in a year.
There was a know bug in Windows 95 preventing it from booting (well, most of the time) on AMD processors with 300 MHz and more. Microsoft has a patch that fixes that problem. I have been running Win95 on K6/K6-2 CPUs for years.
