I use linux as my primary os, but I do concede that the ribbon has made regular users 'power users', insofar as formatting and bringing visual appeal to their documents. Its no coincidence that today when some1 sends you a document you can quickly tell that it was made with Microsoft office (in a good way)!
If the ribbon can be used in the file manager to make users able/aware of different features/possibilities than the overall affect is going to be positive! And perhaps it will provide an interface for accomplishing things the seasoned linux user takes for granted in his/her terminal.
God forbid the same thing can be done by your grandma in a few mouse clicks *GASP* And your back to turning your desktop into a cube to impress your friends.
Interesting... I kinda had the same view about transport without really realising it until you said it. Then again if I lived in the states I would be classed as one of those 'conservative uptight right wing republicans' so not surprising i guess:s
If thats the case then the author was deceptive how they posted the summary, then again, who would read an article in full and post the results other than the author of said article, so i guess in was kind of a give away:P
As a teacher at a high school I was not allowed to be friends with students on fb (school policy), I even had to remove students I was friends with prior to becoming a teacher! It was for my protection and the schools. Once I left the school I was added by about 30 of the students who I could then accept.
I think its a good idea not to add students, although making it a law is silly, especially since students and teachers would join the same groups (eg the name of the school group) and write on the wall to each other.
spot on. any publicity is good publicity etc.. Also make people more aware of fb's anti competive nature, although im sure they will turn aound and plead 'conflict of interest'
side note, I created a page on fb
https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Im-slowly-migrating-away-from-fb-to-google-Whos-with-me/120882101335548
wondering if I can have fb block it if I get enough likes or whatever...
feel free to try bring fb's servers to a grinding hault/. community!
hahahh, I wish I had mod points.
Although not personally home schooled (my wife and her 9 bros and sisters have been or will be) and that was amazingly funny:P
Im not M$ fan boy
but this is not the case, at least not as a start up, some friends of mine are a startup and are using the services offered by http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/ basically whilst you are strung for cash (m$ says first 3 years) they give you everything you need for free. And then once you start making money and are locked in to using m$ services you start paying, which is fair.
I feel the urge to troll because I loved using ubuntu until 11.04, but now have switched to kubuntu 11.04. Instead I will say I look forward to the continual improvements that will be made to both unity and gnome shell.
Yep,
My sis bought a refurbished craptop and had nothing but issues with it with windows,
i didnt put kde on it (maybe I will) but same results with ubuntu 10.10, very snappy and everything worked amazing, wobbly windows, 3g modem, sound etc.
She could not believe how much of a pleasure her laptop could be, also she gets less animal porn popups now
Unity is terrible! Gnome 3, not much better.
Maybe when people hear about user friendly linux distros they will think 'kubuntu' and not 'ubuntu', which is probably not such a bad thing.
I've decided to switch back to kde.
Well said!
I'm a Christian so have my own views about game ratings, but I still think that it is way overdue for Australia to introduce R18+ games, no proven link to violence and reality is a large proportion of the country want the rules changed and a large proportion are indifferent. Parents should be responsible for what is consumed by their children, be it games, movies, music or otherwise.

Biggest load of bull crap ever!!!! Vista was shat and only became usable after SP1. W7 was amazing from the RC.
I think it was said in jest... (I dont think AC marked as troll was being srs)
God made our mind for reason!

hahahh, I wish I had mod points. Although not personally home schooled (my wife and her 9 bros and sisters have been or will be) and that was amazingly funny :P
did not mean to post the same thing as you, but its spot on. BizSpark is a great concept.

How dare you use logic on people like that!

really modded troll? This is insightful and was the first thing that came to my mind.

I think what he means is, what if someone was to torture Howard Stringer until he handed over passwords.
By definition? Or am I being too optimistic about the current definition of a geek?
Did you always just repeat an earlier post that was modded high? I'm certain this is the 2nd time I have seen you do this in the last 3 weeks.
