  1. Re:And the inevitable problems on Ubuntu 9.04 For the Windows Power User · · Score: 1

    Strange. My printer works even better that on windows. I hadn't to install anything.

    Oh, about the games.... That's a point where is are absolutely right. Unfortunately

    Note that this WILL solve his problem!

  3. Nice idea: keep tabs but manage it on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 1

    Imagine that the tabs are there all the same. Now but a button beside them called tab manager. If clicked, you get a new windows showing *only* tabs in some structured way (trees, maps, wathever). If the user rovers the mouse on one of them, he get a prevew. If he click with the right button, it closes this new windows AND selects the clicked tab. If he clicks with the left button he gets a couple of extra operations (color change, move inside de grapth, duplicate, throw it in a new window, etc).

    Now yours and everyone else's workflow:

    Now it sounds like slashdot :-)

  6. Re:1999 called, they want their article back on Why Linux Is Not Yet Ready For the Desktop · · Score: 1

    One thing does not dismiss the other. The article say things that aren't true anymore, even if the linux market on desktop is small.

    Mmmm. No. Correlation is not causation. The example is about physicists. It doesn't mean that only them can do it

    Second: not, he does not. He was just being funny and sarcastic at the same time! At least I got it this way...

  14. Re:Improved looks? on OpenOffice 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    No, they are stunned. Too many changes at once. Too much visual noise due to radical redesign of the interface. If only this changed, they would notice, but there is a huge ribbon thingy taking their attention

  15. Re:Improved looks? on OpenOffice 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    But they were migrating from windows to linux. No reason at all to retain some cross logic. But when we talk about word 2003 and 2007, its a whole different ball game. It is supposed to be used by the same people

  16. Re:Improved looks? on OpenOffice 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Because on that place there used to be a smaller app logo that did almost nothing (close, resize, maximize, etc). People learned to ignore that area

  17. Re:Improved looks? on OpenOffice 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    The point is you actually have to tell people about it. I've been watching people migrate to word 2007. Most of them didn't realize that the big word icon on the top left corner was hiding the original File menu.

    I have to confess that I prefer a 95ish look than that ribbon thingy

  19. Re:antialiased! on OpenOffice 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    This is applied to visualization. No impact whatsoever on printed docs. The anti aliasing we are talking about is to keep your screen smooth. At least that is my understanding on the subject

  20. Re:Sorry but... on OpenOffice 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    His point was that all this options came on office 2007. Oo is doing it for a long time. Maybe MS got the ideia from Oo? Who knows?

    But I digress. The worst part of MS Office nowadays is that rubber bar. People can disagree, but IMO it sucks quite a lot

    What?! Were?! Are you calling me an asshole?! Jokes appart, parent said the guy was more of a nerd than an asshole and I disagreed with him.

    He does express them in a way that's unnecessarily offensive and combative. But that doesn't make him an asshole. That makes him a typical geek!

    My reply:

    I'm sorry to disagree, but that make him an asshole. A geeky one, but basically an asshole

    From were I came, this is called discuss, talk, disagree or argue. Nothing assholish by any means.

    Maybe you didn't understand my argument. I will try to explain: his BEHAVIOR makes him an asshole, and his BACKGROUND makes him a nerd. The fact that both happens together doesn't mean one thing causes the other.

  24. Re:Intentional Inefficiency? on Duke Nukem For Never · · Score: 1

    Mmm. I hated Doom 3 for the lack of light during game play, but the lightning technology was awesome!

  25. Re:About time on Duke Nukem For Never · · Score: 1

    Duke is a complicated piece. I do agree that is was outdated with respect to the technology, but the gameplay and mostly the general attitude of the game is fantastic! The main character has a personality and a very peculiar one. This is quite uncommon on FPS and just absent on Quake. I was a really fun game to play!

    I downloaded the game again a couple of days ago and even today the game remains fun. Oh, did I said download? I meant reainstall...

    As our hero would say: "Mmmm I'm afraid on no Quake"
