I bet after a few years of using Ubuntu you'll find openSuSE much easier. I am guessing the reason you and many others find it so hard is that you can not immediately do the things you normally would have done in Windows, at which point it becomes frustrating. Would I be correct in this?
Why is it that one cannot specify ODF as among the file formats available for search
..and what has ODF got to do with Open Source Software? Please stop associating ODF with Open Office / Open Source as its one of the main reasons Microsoft will never implement it in it's products.
It also puts off other people who hate open source for one reason or another. ODF is a file format specification and has nothing to do with open source software.
They sell services not software. That doesn't mean they're so retarded to put themselves out of business by giving away source code that competitors could use to setup their own Gmail service and not use Google's.
That's why the games industry should only market games that are already almost complete, they're such amateurs. The movie industry doesn't show adverts for a movie that still has three more years of production time. Doing so in the games industry leads to what you just said.
That's great but I live in the UK and some fucktard ran through a red light almost killing me last thursday as I crossed the road. No speed camera there, but I bet if there was he would have stopped instead of thinking he needs the shave off 5 minutes journey time.
These people destroy speed cameras because they want the freedom the break the law, nothing more and I hope everyone of them gets arrested. The law is you go a certain speed if you break it ITS YOUR OWN FAULT NOT THE CAMERA THAT CAUGHT YOU BREAKING THE LAW.
Quick! Ban McDonald's and boiled potatoes!
What a stupid comparison. Are you twelve years old or something? A McDonald's doesn't run through red lights, almost killing me. To kill me I (As in myself not some random asshole) would have to eat way too many. Just like how water kills you if you drink too much.
XHTML, CSS, PNG, SVG and PDF work just fine for displaying virtually any sort of data.
Yes, they do.. NOW.
What about in 10 years time, or 100 years time then the W3C spec have changed, or your HTML files on the census of people in NY for the year 2007 don't display correctly anymore.
It's not about today, it's about tomorrow and the next day.
I'm sure smarter people than me have figured out a practical use, and they're not posting at 2 AM or after 2 beers either. Just wondering what that use might be.
This is just one small step towards building a real life sex bot!
Better known as a meat bot, the T9000 will do your housework, take the kids to school and give you a foot massage after a long days work without any of that nagging and yelling.
Lol, those crazy christians. I saw the film but I didn't see any anti-christian messages. At the end I was thinking "that's it? That's what they were complaining about?!".
I thought the christian organisations that were complaining only had one member anyway.
So do you have any proof of the Russian, Cuban, Canadian and UK governments editing Wikipedia to add transsexual references?
"It's ok because everyone else is doing it", is just the weakest excuse for justifying this thing especially when they're not, which is more mis-information.
promoting pro-Guantanamo stories on the Internet news focus website Digg, and even altering Wikipedia's entry on Cuban President Fidel Castro to describe him as 'an admitted transsexual' (misspelling the word 'transsexual').
... is not propaganda? It's not like they were editing Wikipedia entries on baking cakes here, the intention is obvious.
Wait, maybe you're one of them!

NYSE Moves to Linux
·
· Score: 1
I guess the situation has improved in the last year, but my point is that linux is a newcomer in the big iron world.
1 - SLES 9 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 2 - SLES 9 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 3 - SLES10 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 4 - Linux 5 - Linux
But I think it's not still mature enough to compete in high-performance, high scalable, mission critical environments...
Maybe that's your opinion. My opinion is that if the top 5 super computers in the world run Linux then it's good enough.
That's great but it's not what the people at Opera are complaining about.
They want the ability to completely remove IE so there is more incentive from Microsoft to be more neutral when it comes to their products.
If IE could be removed the MSN team at Microsoft would be forced to open up web addresses in the installed / default browser, not use one product [MSN] to force users to use another of their products [IE].
It's the exact same thing that Google was complaining about with the search in Vista.
It doesn't mean not ship with a browser. It means the ability to un-install/get rid of IE without breaking windows so an OEM can for example do a deal with Opera to have their browser as default instead of IE.
Since Gabe is ex-Microsoft I think your answer would be "when hell freezes over". Of course they'd never publicly say that.
It's a shame really because I too would like a Linux client on my Ubuntu machine.. Carmack's engines are always cross-platform, the UT engines are cross platform but source is Windows only and that's probably never going to change at Valve. I am guessing it doesn't even show up on their radar.
I can't remember or not, did the orange box come out for the PS3? And doesn't the PS3 run openGL? If anyone knows the answer to that then why can't they put a little work into getting a client that works on *insert fav distro*?
I think it's good to also have some perspective here. Linux isn't popular and it's only in the last few years that the majority of the public are taking it seriously for desktops. Even so I bet it would be quick for them to get a native client up and running in no time. It's just they see no value in doing so.
What in Linux "just works" like the Unified Mac Experience?
That is a good point.
Mac runs on Mac hardware. Hardly what I would call a fair test to what Linux has to stand up against.
Although Macs have switched to Intel processors I bet OS X wouldn't be as easy to install on all the PC configurations that Ubuntu has to deal with which I think is a point that most people miss out on.
Even if you were comparing Gutsy to Windows, even XP doesn't have driver support for my old web cam and TV tuner card which is really out of date. Gutsy does it out of the box because the support for the third party hardware is kept there, which keeps me from having to buy new hardware just to get back what I already had after an upgrade.
They're used for team building exercises, not for brain washing. That has always been the case, even back to the day when they were getting heat from the press about training soldiers on "the murder simulator" Doom.
The game is "one of the candidates under consideration for the Army tool kit." But, by then, it won't exactly be cutting edge. The kit may not deploy until as late as 2015. (You gotta love those fast-moving military bureaucracies.) By then, DARPA's made-to-order sim tool could already be in the works, too.
By that time Duke Nukem Forever will be out for the Phantom..

That's because the acid2 webpage is broken. They updated it and it screws up now.

I know, hence the "What if"

I hate your font, it's so damn small..

Anyway on with the topic, I have one better then that.
What if the ISP restricted file transfers of

I noticed they released it under the GPL 2 (or is the chip design released under a different license?).
Does this mean they could attack a company that started selling their processor or one based on this information with a patent?
Awesome, do you happen to know how well these things work compared to other processors?
My only experience with Sun hardware is from the slow out dated machines we have running here.
