thanks for the reply, SQL-Ledger was the only one i have heard about.
LabelNation looks realy promising also gave me a link to Worldlabel.com with free templates to OOo.org(going to save me hours with the ruler)
now i have some research to do (if one of those companies have swedish support on their accounting software, then i'm switching to linux only).
I am the support guy for my family and friends and after trying to get them to use free/open source i did get less calls. you don't need them to start using GNU/Linux only replacing IE, Outlook, MS Office, and MSN messenger does some differences, this maybe has to do with users trying "less stupid things" (like installing this great/new/cool thing they found on internet). VNC is also good, when they call me with a problem I only tell them to click on VNC icon and enter my IP(me running VNC client in listening mode).
things I miss and/or have not found good free/opensouce solutions for: antivirus (never liked AVG)
book-keeping(small company, products,prices,inventory,payroll normal stuff) need something that can replace visma administration http://www.vismaspcs.se/ or if somebody knows if it can run in Wine/cedega without problem (visma is good, just works)
software for doing labels and stickers (haven't really looked)
I wonder is this a problem in USA only or is the trend spreading to other countries?
here in Sweden it does not seem as there should be any bigger shortage of embedded developers than other types.
Still embedded development are a lot more fun than doing some ordinary desktop app, or even worse webapps
I'm not saying that we shouldn't use wind power, or solar power, or thermal power, or even combustion engines. BUT, we need to every bit of energy we take from the world -- in WHATEVER form -- depletes it, and that the only real solution is to cut back on how much we take. NO, wrong, transform maybe, but depletes totally wrong
i dont see either, where i work we have two computers(at least) for every person, one for normal email and stuff(no secret stuff) and one for every other system, that one for email and none secret stuff is handled by another company but the other ones are handled internally. basically you cant trust every thing to another party.
somehow I don't believe that will happen, to some extent yes, but I think people will start to value there privacy, but maybe I'm only naive.
then you have companies that has secrets they cant trust third party with, already today we are talking about nations using the intelligent services to give there own companies an edge over other nations companies.
I get the feeling that people that write this sort of thing does not understand the technology. but maybe it is I who don't "get it".
They could perhaps be subject to contributory infringement though
for that to happend there need to be someone found guilty of copyright infringement, cant have one without the other.
And latelly someone who used to work for SÄPO has been showing up as a expert witness on the defendets side. http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.139212 sorry link in swedish
I'm wondering if it is possible to post the whole thing on the internet and get help and input from people on the internet, maybe not legal?, is there someone here on slashdot that knows something about swedish law?
the problem is that you need to start pushing changes up before they start pushing changes down, at the same moment they started to look into some version control system (dimension maybe it was) that did not have any good/easy way to automate task we found our own solution, and simple did some calculations on how long time all the things that was automated would take to do(and cost). if something is being pushed down say you will test it and compare it,if it's better keep it, if not find better solution. show that you are willing to try new things

do you mean that the pirate bay should start using a botnet? that could be so funny and troublesome at the same time :-)
maybe we should really thank IFPI for pushing the development of application that hides what the user is doing.
:-o
here's idea: mask the traffic as VOIP, that way it will get high priority also
wonder what will thepiratebay will do when the ISP is ordered to block the IP:s, insteed of only fu*king up the DNS?
like the stunt they pulled in sweden, poor microsoft.
are they trying to get people felling sad for them? think they will get votes that way

sweden is a monarchy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden#Politics
and that has companies in the USA already done with some of Håkan lans inventions.
it's not only java code that should be executed in a sandbox, java ONLY programmer's should also be executed in a sandbox :-)
