    Dumping Mozilla and replacing them with a fledgling browser does not.

    I feel Google will push Mozilla to develop Firefox at a very fast pace, to match up to Google's speed.

    ... find this article very interesting!

  8. Patent Laws on FFmpeg Finally Releases Long-Awaited Version 0.5 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    They wanted everyone to download and compile the latest CVS snapshot and use that.

    I remember something about multimedia patents - open source developers were not allowed to release binaries. So they released source code only.

    Could this be the case?

  9. Re:Everyone can see what they are trying to do... on UK Government Wants To Kill Net Neutrality In EU · · Score: 1

    They've invaded the world by transporting the rest of us into a magical land (complete with 67 translations), while they continue to operate in reality.

    As Bryan Ischo said, the recruitment agencies all demand it. I think you're both right: I should use PDF.

    But then, the individual companies are hardly advertising. With the agencies, at least I had several interviews.

    They are are a recruiter who only wants your resume in Word format so that they can modify it

    Thank you for understanding! Yes, they're all job agencies. The actual hiring companies seldom advertise.

    Most other jobs are grabbed up. Yet, positions that require Unix, Lotus Notes and V-VIP experience, are still re-listed repeatedly. It's an eye opener.

    I'm currently unemployed and self-studying for a RHCT cert.

  17. Re:Easier to DIY... on Quick Boot Linux Hopes To Win Over Windows Users · · Score: 1

    OOo is at 3.0.1 now and it's quite good and fully integrated as a replacement for all MS Office -- the only thing it doesn't do well are Excel macros...

    I've re-typed my resume entirely in OO.o 3.0.1, and I must say its "Export to Word 97/2000/XP" feature still requires improvement.

    1. Table - when exported, first column will become quite narrow, about 0.5".
    2. Custom style with bullet and indent - when exported, indentation will be adjusted to 0".

    I am forced to continue using Microsoft Word to work on my resume.

    If you think that 30 seconds is fast just because it is a computer, then I think you have really low standards.

    You're really emphasizing, by using <em> rather than <i>, eh?

    Well... my hot redhead young WIFE takes 40 seconds to turn on completely!

    Take one of these 2.5 lb notebook marvels they have now, add a 2.5 lb battery, still 5 lbs, which is just not that heavy.

    Two words: Accessories market. Particularly batteries. Business users were willing to pay lots of money (*) for extra batteries, to bring on overseas trips. This result in 10-50% extra profits for the manufacturer/retail, maybe more, since batteries were non-competitive products.

    You've ended your comments with these sentences:

    • It's a non-issue.
    • Much nicer when typing more than a few words.
    • Definitely the best handhelds available for their purpose.
