How does one map Meta-F1/F2/F3/F4 to switch workspaces? Finding this in CDE took me ages to discover when CDE became the default (perhaps docs have improved by now); this was key to usability for me because I had relied on this function under olvwm. Finding the equivalent in Gnome took me a couple hours of research.
This is just one example where drag-n-drop doesn't do me one bit of good. I'm sure there are plenty of others.
But Sun is pretty deeply committed to helping get it to work. Sun won't replace CDE as the default until its ready, but it seems ludicrous to say "well, they're not making our time to market goals, so we pull out completely." Sun at least sees that the future is not CDE.
Really. Someone would have to have an unusually severe case of cranial-rectal inversion to think that $999 was a reasonable price to pay for an OS that you can buy for $80 or less off the shelf or download for free.
I could probably outfit my whole house with X10 for that kind of money. I have a Home Theater Master remote (not the MX-700) that cost me $120 3 years ago, and it rocks.
While I agree that many of the dissenters rely too heavily on emotional rather than rational points, and also agree that Iraq will truly be better off without Saddam, I completely disagree with your assertion that the majority of dissenters believe that Saddam was innocent.
As you point out, we took the role of playground monitor, and most of us who dissent believe we are not justified in doing so. Furthermore, if we are justified in doing so, we've been exercising something called "selective enforcement" where bad guys who go along with us in most things get to keep being bad guys, and bad guys who don't, get slapped. That sure seems hypocritical, and definitely won't win us friends among those we want to influence to be good guys. When you compound that with Rumsfeld's apparent attitude that we have the might, so we're right, and you have a recipe for the international mess we've gotten ourselves into. I don't think we're likely to see the full ramifications of the damage we've done to our alliances for a long time to come.
That really sums up to total of why I was opposed to the war. You yourself acknowledge that there appears to be room for disagreement on what's justified policing and what's not; all I can say is, if we're going to be the world's policeman we damn well better start applying "equal protection" principles to everyone, instead of the hypocritical bs we have spouted for the last 50 years.
Guilty of....an affair. Woo hoo. Not proven to be guilty of any of the other crap he was hounded for for several years. Again: if you push someone repeatedly and analyze every aspect of their life that might have some poor reflection on their character (or lack thereof, let's be honest:-), you will find a technicality you can try to hang them on. Of course, I'd be really curious for the opportunity to ask GWB under oath about his "youthful indiscretions" in using cocaine. And I wonder if he ever had extramarital sex? Let's get the hounds to it, so we can prove our point; if he's really innocent, he shouldn't mind, right?
Are you claiming that Clinton is the first president to lie under oath? Given the huge furor it made, you'd think he was lying about killing babies.
Oh wait, the folks who do really dastardly crap always have the sense to call in the 5th amendment (Ollie North) or find some technicality to get off on (John Poindexter). Oh, right, those guys weren't president, and allegedly the president had no clue what they were doing. Now that's effective leadership!
I guess you aren't from around these parts. Hollings is from California, but consistently votes for things that benefit Disney and against things that would not benefit Disney. Therefore he has come to be known as "the senator from Disney", in common usage.
I agree that the original poster has their head up their nether regions, but....
Most dissenters seem to do little more than chant rhyming
nonsense.
I take issue with this. Every time I've tried to have a rational conversation with a pro-war person, they've devolved into frothing at the mouth and repeating the same tired propaganda which they have swallowed hook, line, and sinker. Even if I can be adult enough to agree to disagree because I have some respect for them (in some cases, not all), I still get cheap shots about how all protesters and dissenters are supporting terrorism etc. There is no open mind for any kind of dialog there, just blind acceptance that what the government says must be true because "they're in a position to know".
It seems ludicrous that you dismiss all dissenters based on public activity in forums where you just can't have a long thought out discussion (I can't say I look forward to the idea of large crowds of people reading dissertations). Try actually having a discussion with someone in person or somewhere like warblogging.com before you dismiss all of us because of some of us.
Get off it. Fritz Hollings, the senator from Disney, is a Democrat. Politicians are bought and sold by the corporations at this point, and it doesn't matter one damn bit whether they're Republican or Democrat. To say otherwise is being blind to reality, and only likely to start fights between ourselves instead of against those who we need to target.
As opposed to the assininity of pre-judging everyone based on a the limited number of people you have met, I'll take my dickheadedness any day, thanks.
This has been making my life a living hell for the past 2 months, every night my parents go on and check to see if i have any homework and won't let me do anything till it's done
You expect sympathy when we hear that your parents are doing the right thing? Maybe you could learn the lesson of getting it done first without them having to "make" you do it, eh? You're right to bring up privacy concerns (you don't need other people checking your status, and that is a pretty easy password), but quit whining about having to do homework.
I thought Access supported network attach via a DBI. Why don't you have a central, or semi-central DB server or servers with the applications going through DBI to get to the database? Using MySQL that would be a sinch.
And you know for a fact that this discussion ocurred how? Really, I am NOT apologizing for anyone involved in it. I think Ashcroft is the anti-Christ for being willing to go along with this travesty and many others, but I would not be surprised if someone only a bit lower down in Justice, a career guy, was the one who actually wrote it, and it had been around a while.

CDE may be simple to look at if you accept the defaults, but it is way more a PITA to configure than even Gnome, and Gnome is no picnic sometimes.
But Sun is pretty deeply committed to helping get it to work. Sun won't replace CDE as the default until its ready, but it seems ludicrous to say "well, they're not making our time to market goals, so we pull out completely." Sun at least sees that the future is not CDE.

When is Cheech Marin going to be named drug czar again?

Perhaps if you didn't resort to oxymorons, you'd have more success discussing the issue rationally.
This deserves the "Insightful" moderation so much more than my post, I am almost ashamed of being moderated up.

No no no. They are now MANDATORY.
I've seen stuff produced by "professional" college graduate programmers that was 99.9% crap, so why this is a surprise I can't tell.
I can't believe no one did this yet. I was going to try it for a FP, but work distracted me :-)
Why would I join you on the same side of the bet? :-)
I dunno, sounds like "an" anti-Christ if you ask me :-)
As opposed to the assininity of pre-judging everyone based on a the limited number of people you have met, I'll take my dickheadedness any day, thanks.
Given that you have not met a statistically significant number of all parents (even all parents in the US), such a statement is meaningless.
You haven't met all parents then. My wife was high acheiving and her parents weren't remotely like this.
You expect sympathy when we hear that your parents are doing the right thing? Maybe you could learn the lesson of getting it done first without them having to "make" you do it, eh?
