  1. Re:Blu-Ray? on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" Released · · Score: 1

    Just a small hint: you could also buy the CD's and have a part of the purchase go to the Debian project.

  2. Re:A Debian release! on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" Released · · Score: 1

    That's why you have backports ? A lot of servers run stable with just 1 or 2 backports.

    It's available (1.5.1):

    Although I hear some versions will only run 2 or 3 apps at the time. Seems kinda silly to me though. ;-)

    I thought they were targeting netbooks ?

    The point he/she was trying to make is that Wikipedia is a lot better than you might have expected.

    Just install Ubuntu on those botnets

  7. Re:It's Office on Microsoft May Be Targeting the Ubuntu Desktop · · Score: 1

    And you can use it on the same hardware as windows, if you have a large company or other organisation running Windows, you won't be moving to Mac if you migrate. Because everything needs to be replaced by Apple-build hardware. You'll go with a Linux (or BSD ?) desktop. Maybe that's also a reason why Ballmer doesn't like Google, they run more then half or there employees on Ubuntu.

  8. It's Office on Microsoft May Be Targeting the Ubuntu Desktop · · Score: 1

    Hey guys, it's not because of Windows or IE, it's because of office. If people use Ubuntu/Linux Desktop of choise, they won't be using Microsoft Office. On the Mac people might use Microsoft Office for the Mac but on Linux there is no such thing. Actually there is Codeweavers Crossover and even regular Wine. Anyway Microsoft cares for having their large share in Office market, because it creates file lock-in.

  10. Re:NO CHANCE for this to work on Exchange Comes To Linux As OpenChange · · Score: 1

    Well, problem is, Exchange doesn't fall under the 'have to document' protocols and so they didn't.

    Actually it turns out to be a pretty crappy protocol with bad security and buggy implementations from Microsoft.

    "The current versions have searching (pretty fast, too)." In IE, not FireFox, which can I sugeest it ?, they might have done on purpose ?

  12. Re:No Shit. on The Case Against Web Apps · · Score: 1

    Better yes, but always far behind the rest. So I don't endorse IE.

  13. Re:Keyboard shortcuts and CLI on The Case Against Web Apps · · Score: 1

    well, a lot of combinations are not available in browsers and all browsers combined doesn't leave many unused. But Mozilla has the Prism project which solves that, the webapp can detect it's in that environment and allow for many key-combo's. Also it acts much more like a normal desktop-application, you can (don't have to !) even give it access to your filesystem.

    Because IE is a mess

    I do know Vista makes your computer do more, it needs to work harder to get the same things done. ;-)

    Why do you need to press that button ? If the (outside) power is cut to the device, it will start it's backup using it's internal battery.

    or you could just put /tmp on a ramdisk (the OS kind, not the 'hardware' kind).

    Actually the superleet don't think the Windows cli is any good, so they are stuck between a rock and a hardplace.

    That download app actually uses an IE-library.

  22. Re:But what about...? on EU Antitrust Troubles Continue For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    There are quiet a few services (like specific microsoft project, sharepoint, etc.) which only work with IE (actually: active X, or whatever they are doing) and some don't work the same way in, for example, firefox (exchange webmail).

    The libraries that come with IE are also used by Windows update to do the download.

  25. Re:So much for a tech savvy Whitehouse. on MS Silverlight To Stream Obama Inauguration Events · · Score: 1

    You could try swfdec(with the browser plugin: swfdec-mozilla) or gnash. Youtube and many other sites work with it.

    Not that I like people using flash, I would much rather have seen that browsers have support for the video-tag.
