You cell has 720p, not 1080p, unless I'm really missing something. But even 720p is a bit overkill for a 4.x" device. Apple said it's new ipad will have 2048x1536 i think. Dammit, if they can do such density for a 9,7", why can't they do it for 24-27"?
Well, the 27" 2560x1440 monitors offer great density, nearly the double of standard 1080p resolution of 27" monitors. I meant you could buy a 27 only for your main monitor. The other two (or four) around it could be smaller and/or rotated 90o to fit.
If you insist on 22", you can easily find monitors with 1080p (not 1200p) at $10,000 (and some are monochrome).
Dell U2711 costs 630euros and is 2560x1440. 30" monitors (2560x1600) cost 1000-1200euros. Idk where you heard this $2300. Instead of having 4 small monitors (19-22) you might consider one big, or one big and 3-4 small or medium (22-24").
Uh... You aren't the smartest kid in the family, are you?
OO is NOT supposed be an MSOffice clone. It is a DIFFERENT piece of software dammit. It is NOT a drop-in replacement. Never was, never will be, and it was not advertized as such. It's not that VBE support is "broken", it's that it does not exist at all, as also does not exist any support for Clippy, Facebook, speech recognition, cloud integration, Windows Scripting, etc. If you rely on VBE stay with MSOffice, you IT Manager, Upper Management, Supreme Management and Ultimate Emperor. If your company has so many Managers, and Upper Managers, and Supreme Council, it has some shitload of money to pay $200/pc to Microsoft every 5 years. And don't talk about open-source, I don't think that companies are so idealists.
If GNU was a copy of Microsoft products, I swear to my life, I would switch to OSX.
Wow! Also, in Linux, typing "del *.*" says "zsh: command not found: del". So Linux is so buggy that it is, as you said, USELESS. It can't even handle a simple delete command using del/erase.
Like if your English would not work eg in Spain. That's because Spain is a defective, useless country. Right?
I've quit MSOffice at 97 version for OOo ~1.1 and I've never heard such an argument.
There's not about price or freedom. OOo/LO is technically superior for the average user. I don't care if it lacks a special feature of MSO. It had pdf support from 1.x versions which Word97 lacked -- a deal breaker, it had infinite spell checkers, not just English and the local language, and above all, it has a consistent and logical, predictable UI. After I quit Windows in early 00's, it was not an issue at all, since MSO doesn't run on Linux natively.
For anything more than a 1-page letter, I use latex anyway.
Can you please provide me a citation? I didn't see such a warning during sign-up. I am totally un-interested in whatever American, except for technology. Certainly, it's language is English, but English is also used by almost all the world of IT.
Pedophiles or rapists also do the same. They don't rape small children in order to reproduce. They want the thrill, the fulfillment, to see their prey trying to escape, they want to see it crying. That predator instinct, the murderous instinct. It is also the serial killers fulfillment. Most, if not all, serial killers do not know personally their victims and do not have something to gain from. But they like the fulfillment of the murder.
It is exactly as sick as what you feel.
ps: I love Doom2 and DN3D. But I don't confuse them with actual life.
Russia and China have signed multiple military pacts of mutual support. Even without nuclear arsenal, Japan has no chances. PLA is immense on human power. It would not be wise for the US to intervene. They would NOT risk a total war with two nuclear powers for a single ally, and I believe China and the US have many common (trade) interests, both unwilling to sacrifice for Japan.
If you don't like pre-installed packages go for Arch or Gentoo (later needs to be compiled). There, everything is installed by hand. It's kinda extreme end however.
As for commercial software, the only thing I've ever paid for in Linux is games.
That's just theoretical. Windows also have a kernel, a boot loader, core utilities (scandisk, etc) and other utilities such as an unzipper, wordpad, notepad, games, etc.
The matter is that one user can just install Ubuntu and it just works. And it will have installed by default a myriad of programs which otherwise you will need to buy one-by-one or search in porn-websites for warez.
1) Yeah, which? Gentoo? Arch? If you run those distros you are responsible for building your system. These distros are not for newbies. 2) Mount is external? What did you smoke?
If you are a newbie, pick Fedora, Ubuntu or something like that, a general distribution for the average Joe, not for hackers or scientists or other special purpose.
Ok smartass, if you spend your time learning about 10 windows iso mounting utilities, why not just learn to use "mount"?
mount, k3b and gnome's equivalent are part of a default linux installation. In Windows I had to download them separately and then google for serial through half-porn sites. I had to do this for PowerDVD, WinRAR and a ton of other utilities. There might be some windows free utilities, but at the time I used windows (up until Win2000) these was the most common and most known.
None, and there's no reason to exist. Upcoming Samsung will feature 1280x720 in a 4.x display, which IMFHO is already an overkill. What the fuck, there are people who still buy 15.4" laptops with 1280x720 and they think it's ok, what kind of idiot would want 1080p for his smartphone while being happy with 720p on his laptop?
Also, taking 1080p photos or video with the crappy lens and crappy flash of a phone is useless.
It's just a gimmick. They should better focus on size, battery, usability, and other stuff that matter for a phone.

It would be cheaper to hire a hooker.

Don't get it.
At linux you use k3b or some other burning application.
At Windows you need to download non-free Daemon tools
We all do, indirectly. I mean, we eat animals which eat poop, like pigs or rabbits.
