This sentence gave me headaches. I highly doubt it qualifies as proper english.:)
"With high definition writable media appearing already, will the price drop soon enough to help me overcome the real obstacle to backing up my exsisting commercial DVDs, cost of single media large enough to hold them that is playable in a player?"
Basically once I retire I have this scheme to sue all sorts of companies for getting paid on a monthly basis but providing less service in February or even in a 30 days month. This should keep me busy til I die and sounds like a fun petproject to manage from my couch.:)
True. The extra comfort comes with less configurability. But as I don't want to spend my time reading ads nor configuring adblock and I use quite a lot of different machines throughout the day I settled for the painless solution.
I live in Germany myself and must say that it works great even for german sites.
Hey, you probably know that, but there is a well maintained, autoupdated set of rules for almost all Ads out there. It's called Filterset G. This in addition to Adblock plus keeps all ads out of sight without having to configure a single thing. No worries.:)
I highly recommend it to anyone and it's part of my default install for friends...
You are now talking on ##windows --- Topic for ##windows is Unofficial Windows support and discussion channel. YES, we know about the keylogger thing, and it doesn't work, so please no experiments!
If I really have something to say to a larger audience I might want to learn to write. If I want to talk to an even larger audience on the web I might consider learning HTML wich isn't THAT hard for a moderately intelligent person.
I you are too dumb to learn HTML or lack the dedication to do so you probably don't really have something to say or you're most probably just pathetically bored.
Call me ignorant. Back in 2002 I was called to a meeting with some pretty important guys in the company I was working on back then as they wanted to have one of the "tech guys" in that meeting too.
So I sat there and they were talking about that hip new thing called blogs. That was the first time I heard about that phenomenon. The whole time I was trying hard to gasp the concept behind all this but whenever I thought, ok where's the meat, it turned out that in the end they were simply talking about people writing about stuff on their own homepages. I was like, WTF? This is the whole POINT of the web! I mean, c'mon, isn't it? Wasn't this hyped 1993 or sth.? What were YOU thinking the information super highway is all about? Were you just unfrozen from carbonite or what?
When I was finally asked on the topic I said something how I am turning to "blogs" (I used it like I had known all the time what it was) everday whenever I surf the web. They were thrilled. It was like it was 1995 all over again and someone told them that it was POSSIBLE to distribute stuff from your desk to the whole world. I was just wondering, WHAT in the world had they'd been thinking the last 7 years was all about?
Am I still missing the point or is this just as fundamental trivial as it seems?
One more thing: You might try Gnome wich is much less overboarded with esoteric options. The upcoming release might be the right time to give it a spin...
Funny, I had Ubuntu in mind when I wrote my posting. But you do realize that those option actually do DIFFERENT things? I think what you say used to be true in the SuSE 5 days when it came with 8 CDs. But today most DEs focus on clarity and one tool for the job. As in your examples, these tools happen to do different things well. So I think it's good we have the choice.
Err, what are you using? Ever heard of distributions? They kinda take the burden of making your own decisions from your shoulders. Pointless post, sorry.
Ok, I know they bought Picasa but why not the other way round? Why not found F-Spot and port a simple.NET app over to Windows? This would feel much more native on both platforms and should be much easier. Well, I might just be stupid, but Id prefer a free tool over a winelib binary any day.
Ok, for all of you that didn't get it: That's a quote from "American Psycho". And while YMMV I think this is the most disgusting piece of word ever said about the band. It's the EXACT opposite of all nerdy Genesis fans out there (you know Gabriel days fans). At least of the ones I know. Still, it's quite funny. It really made me want to kick the killers ass. Come on, all the killing and such, not exactly nice, but this quote, it's a crime!!:)

And I will just buy all DVDs and lock into a 2001 furnished room and watch Futurama all day. I found out that THINGS are my friends, now.

What's 1000 lawyers on the bottom of the ocean?
A good start.
So they settled for one side of your sword. Someone would be complaining would it have been the other way round. :)
100% support! Together we make this world a better place! :)

It was one of Slackwares fortunes sometime last week.

Amazing what people moderate insightful these days.

Probably noone will care but me. again.
