    I am writing this replay in a firefox window which has been open for 3 weeks. No problem here boyo. Fix your computer.

  2. Open Source Anyone? on How PC Game Modders Are Evolving · · Score: 1

    If all of these "modders" would contribute to creating an open source game instead of nipping at the scraps left by commercial games we would have even better open source games in the control of the community instead of unrewarding idea mills for the corps. Not to say that commercial games should not exist. Just that it would be nice if these very talented people would be more farsighted in their efforts.

  4. Re:IPEX to blame? on Unboxing the Fake Intel Core i7-920 · · Score: 1

    Why do we need those endless supply chains from the producer to the reseller, each one taking their share and potentially increasing the chance of fraud?

    The reason, Mr. Mojo is so that the producers and retailers have some one to blame. =)

  9. All of the Above comments are UNTRUE. on OpenOffice Tops 21% Market Share In Germany · · Score: 1

    Ok People, Enough with the OO vs MSO flamewar.
    Here is the TRUTH about software.
    95% of people have trouble learning anything on the computer because everything is naturally structure in cause and effect relationships. They actually have to spend large amounts of time learning how to do "simple" tasks in any computer program. These are smart people BTW. Once they learn where commands are and the STEPS (as opposed to concepts) to get a certain task done. They are happy to repeat these steps to gain productivity.
    They do NOT want to learn new steps, new menus, new shortcuts, but instead of subconsciously understanding why they are frustrated they simply state that the new product is inferior rather than realize that it is not inferior, just different, quite often in very subtle ways.
    This is true with any software. Take Autocad vs Microstation for instance. I use both very proficiently and am constantly having to listen to intelligent engineers argue over which is the “Better” platform.. In 100 percent of the cases I ask what software their first Job was using and it is the platform they promote.
    If you used Word for ten years then you will probably have trouble learning OOO and will be more productive in Word.
    Soft ware is a tool. People in these arguments all too often forget that is not what you use to write that matters but what you write with what you use.
    Congrats to open office for their contribution to the myriad of software available. It is significant and respectable.
    All of you should be grateful that your lives are so blessed that you can actually argue about this crap instead of wondering how to survive the next week. Shut up, Get off your high horses and do something good for the world.
    And in conclusion OOO is better. LOL

  17. Re:They can't even make a decent phone on Microsoft's Risky Tablet Announcement · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As a professional who has used multiple tablet PCs for many years in the engineering and construction fields, most of microsofts OS offerings in this arena are quite easy to use and very functional. No I am not a Microsoft fan boy just stating the facts. As a home linux user what I would like to see is a functioning tabletPC running Linux. All I hear in my linux user group is Linux can do that but I have yet to see it. So from experience I can tell you their tablet PC OS works well. Weather Microslop can actually build decent hardware has yet to be seen. Oh wait, what was that really great piece of hardware they sell?? The Xbox. Microsoft bashing aside they have a decent chance.
