The submenu's popping out side bars instead of menu's thing is annoying. They've been trying to get this to catch on the last few versions of office with the file->new and some other menu's. It's a stupid waste of time. It might be popular with people who've never used a computer, but when I do file->new in Word, I expect a blank word document, not a sidebar or a wizard.
I think this is great news, I love AVG anti-virus. I also end up working on pc's that are infected to the point where norton is too broken to work. AVG always seems to be able to remove the viruses that norton can't.
This was an interesting review if you had never seen what a google appliance looks like, but it wasn't very in-depth at all.
I was certainly looking forward to some overclocking and linux installing. I mean, I'm sure they voided whatever agreement they had with google just by opening the case up, so why no go all out and give us the review we really want to read.
I didn't even realize the review was over until I realized there was no "next" button on that last page.
paypal credit cards are usually through providian which is one of the most shady cc companies that there is. When we were applying for our home loan, the lending agent noticed that my wife's cc was through providian and told us that they were pretty well known for messing up people's credit for no reason.
Time is an opportunity cost, come on this is like econ 101 here. Unless there is nothing in the world you enjoy more than changing your oil, you are changing your oil at some cost to yourself.
How do you think MS Office starts so fast? It pre-loads itself when you start windows. If you check your startup folder, you'll see the MS Office pre-loader shortcut there.
Open office's pre-loader just evens out the playing field.
No, the reason office starts so fast is because it uses standard widgets and dll's provided by the system instead of re-inventing the wheel. The MS Office thing in the startup folder indexes office files on your pc similar to the "fast find" feature that the windows search uses.
OpenOffice.org's pre-loader just wastes a bunch of system resources to make up for the fact that oo.o is bloated and isn't written to take advantage of libraries already provided by the OS.
Also, OOo on NT4 will consistently blue screen when running above 256 colors. Thie problem is independent of any hardware that is installed and has occured on every revision i have tried.
Thats a common problem with java and older display drivers, you can try updating the display drivers, but it may not help being that the OS is NT.
To create or change a header and footer in MS Office XP, you must go to the "view" menu. I'm not sure why something like a header or footer would be placed in the "view" menu before it is actually part of a document.
The answer to this is obvious, you are just ignoring it for the sake of argument. In MS Office, the header and footer are always part of the document, that is why you 'view' them instead of 'insert'ing them.
but accorning to this article, the claims are a tad overzealous. FTA, 'The worm only spreads to systems running on Windows 2000, XP and Server 2003, and even then, the possibility of the worm affecting Windows XP and Server 2003 are minimal.' "
The article is wrong, zotob has variants that infect 9x thru 2003. You can look at the summaries on symantec. As a pc support person at a very large company (one of the ones mentioned on cnn when they talked about zotob), this is certainly the worse virus I've had to deal with.
How is it that you have time to answer questions on Slashdot but elect to ignore questions and problems reported by paying users on your own forums?
Exactly. What's funny is that they can't even keep their own forums working. 99% of the time their forums are either read only, the won't let you login, or they don't display any messages.
Can't you get in big trouble for improperly filing a dmca takedown notice? Its not like what they are claiming is even covered by the dmca, so they can't pretend they didn't know it was harassment.

if only slashcode wasn't slashdotted so I could test it out.

shut up, shut up, shut up.
no one fucking cares what you think about the tipping situation in america, this topic has been covered at least 10 times in the past on slashdot.
there is a reason that the only people that think waiters are getting ripped off is people who have never worked as a waiter.

If I change the oil in my car myself, every ~3000 miles, it costs me about $20.
that's weird.. I can get about 3 oil changes done myself for ~$20.
By indexing the material, Google hopes to attract more visitors to its Web site and spawn more searches that generate advertising revenue
Is that a fact or an assumption?
Didn't MyIE2 become Maxthon due to being caught embedding spyware and wanting to get away from the known bad name?
No, they changed the name because it had IE in it.

maybe once they get boosterspice figured out, we can start working on ringworld.
obviously he's using the content from the actual game, otherwise he wouldn't see anything at all.
Because if I don't force myself to take lunch I tend to get all shaky due to lack of sugar.
i dont thin [url] would work in php either
Unlike home users, fortune 500 companies have to test things before rolling them out enterprise wide since ms patches tend to break things.

Most of the Asian music that I've heard was full of samples of RIAA music. Not that I like the RIAA, but most Asian nations care little about IP.
But 12.3% of 11.34% is not something to be proud of.
