  1. Re:patent lawsuit in the making on Introducing JITB — a Flash Player Built On the JVM · · Score: 1

    Acconding to the Java licence, they can't sue you for creating a program (Flash's substitute) that uses a full blown JVM. Otherwise, we all would the fucked.

    Even so, regarding JVM implementations, if you make a JVM that implements Java to the fullest, you are safe too. Only partial implementations (like java mobile) are target for lawsuits

  4. Re:Doom dreams on Gamer Plays Doom For the First Time · · Score: 1

    To me, when I went to bed and closed my eyes, I kept seeing the tunnels comming through for a couple of minutes. Doom was like a drug to me. I could stop and when I stopped, I kept thinking about it and suffering side effects from the last dose.

    I hear ya, man. Rainbow Six? Doom clone. Red Orchestra? Doom clone. Portal? Doom clone!

    It's so easy to dismiss a whole genre as non-innovating, particularly when you (by your own admission) haven't played any of the games that belong to it.

    You know, in my opinion, both your sentences are true!

    I remember the first time I played Wolfstein. All I could thing about was a way to get a freaking Sound Blaster on my own PC.

    MMmm. The *default* was arrow keys and control. But If I'm not mistaken, the whole WASD began at that time, with Doom players

    I just hope, for the sake of your project, that the factory don't create foobars, but something else that you removed from the original

    The problem was lack of online experience. I only played Team Fortress Before it. So I just assumed I was lame :-)

    Now I play Battlefield Bad Company 2. You can find pretty nice servers around. Know I know I am not lame at all :-)

    To people how know shit about guns, it seems more realistic. Really!

    My view was that it was his intention to intimate. The kid freak out about guns and wanted to join the army based on a gaming experience. It was important to show him the other side.

    He will grow and pretty much understand what happened that day. By this time, he will be able to form a more realistic opinion by it self

    But cross references are a pain in the ass on OpenOffice. MS Word treats every title as a target for cross reference and OO forces you to click on that title, say it is a candidate for cf and the give it a freakin label.

    Besides, there is the fantastic revision control on Word. OO must implement it! If I could only contribute, I would gladly dive on the subject

    For the rest, OO is up to par.

  18. Re:TFA should be tagged informative on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 1

    I agree 100% with you! MS departed from its original GUI and a lot of people went crazy trying to figure out even how to print their documents

  19. Re:TFA should be tagged informative on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 1

    Just to make sure I am not misinterpreted, I will repeat myself: I use OpenOffice both on Linux and Windows and like it a lot. Mas MS Office has a huge amount of resources that OpenOffice still lacks. I suffer drawind on slides, trying to do colaborative work on ooWriter, making crossreferences, using calc for math, etc, etc.

    In short: OpenOffice is very good, but unfortunately, MS Office is better. Many people don't need this extra, but a lot of them will the confused. At least IMO

    I did. Thats the problem... Things get complicated when they save on odt format, or when the look for thing they know exists in word on a specific place, etc.

  21. Re:TFA should be tagged informative on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 1

    Yeah. If you're new to computers (who is, these days?), you should use a command line. Seriously, you should. There's no more intuitive way to use a computer than typing in commands as text and having it respond in kind, expect perhaps speech recognition. Compared to that a graphical user interface is far harder to use.

    To me it was the same thing, but, the fact that it is true for both of us doesn't make it true for the general audience. Most people I know get things easier on the GUI, because the scan the interface with their eyes and can the all the options.

  22. Re:TFA should be tagged informative on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 1

    I am not sure if I agree with you. It is important that the users understand they are not using MS Word. I love OpenOffice and use it even on Windows, but it is not the same thing. IMO, the typical Dell user would freak out about it.

    Windows can be a challenge at times, there are pros and cons to everything. And I really mean that! I firmly believe that both my sentence and your's are true

  25. TFA should be tagged informative on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Really. It hurts Linux when people log in and ask for MS Word. It is important to be sure your customer is getting what he wants.

    The only part that is gonna get flamed is the last bit on Windows Section: "use windows if you are new to using computers". They should have left this bit out of both sides, IMO. Windows is good to newbies because they can get help more easily from friends, but it is not easier to use than Ubuntu. Just the idea of the software center like ubuntu's goes miles ahead for those who are new to computers
