Ok, lets start writing some OSS software, so that things are free..
For starters, well make it really usable, by making it nothing like anything anyone has ever seen, word processor.. puff... I'm going to have an fully heuristic based, hierarchical machine intenegance that is voice and gesture operated. And I'm going to run it on a 386 with 4mb of ram..
Then I'm going to invent a whole new language to speek to my machine in, because I wouldn't want to clone any of the existing languages.

3: "Categories: 7 categories. " Yes, I know there categories, you don't have to tell me twice.
Categories: 7. Is better, and more grammatically correct.(not that my grammar is great, but then I'm not the king of usability).
4: Found + count, again. Just combine the two you fool.
5: why not just combine the whole lot

well, just take a look./. games section has a better choice of colours.
anyhow, enough of that.
This guy could do to take a look at OSS for a change and stop contradicting himself (familiarity is good, oh, but don't clone)....
kde look has got more usability hanging off of it than, well, Nielsen I suppose.
OSS Firefox has create standards support (not excellent though), which is really handy if you trying to design a web site for dis/abled people.
Maybe OpenOffice does have more features than Office, but can't you just turn them off, or ignore them. Maybe I can preview sounds in Konquror, but not in Explorer. Maybe were all pissed of with the likes of Microsoft and Nielsen trying to dumb the world down, to the point where people stop thinking all together.
Most kids are coming through school with a high level of computer literacy, I'm sure even the ones who aren't geeks can get to grips with a Mandrake install.
Jakob Nielsen, shut the fuck up and fix you web site, and try to practise what you preach, before telling other what to do.
If the tax payer wants to be protected from 'criminals' who may send information via a phone system, should they pay to check up on those criminals even though they don't use a phone themselfs.
Does Linux have top legal home marketshare in India,China &co? Probably
Does Linux have top legal educational marketshare in India,China &co? Probably
So is the chance that people's very first system will be Linux high? How high? more that 10%? then Yes.
Does this make you whole post pointless? No.
What do stores [in America] sell a new user if they don't know what they want? Whatever there told to. Therefore they will learn whatever there given.
The only way they'll find out about this report is if they go online and find it, and then if they're not a techy user, they're not going to want to install something like an OS for themselves.
Yeh, I don't know anyone who's rebuilt Windows.
Lets say I spend $200 and hand out coppies in the street with a Linux dvd/cd, you whole argument becomes invalid.
I wouldn't mod you as a troll (well maybe) but I would mod you as Insular(word of the day).
Go to the Cinima in the UK and what do you get. 15 people, all paying $9 to sit in a 150 seeter theter, watching some crap MPAA film, that's shown on 3 other screens even though they get a 50% walk out.
Now if one screen was for Indy movies, that cost $5 (or even $9) and weren't quite so.. umm.... polished?... umm..., but a bit different. I'd go to the cinima more often.
You don't see many mobile phone gamers compalining that the game isn't up to readon 9700 quality. do you?
"Question: What about a fictional world and the events described in the world? Are they copyrightable? Can I use those in my story?
Answer: It seems unlikely that a FanFic work would include no previous characters but it is not impossible to imagine. Take Tolkien's "Middle-earth" world for example: this world has been taken without the main characters and has been used in role playing games (RPGs) and video games (see the TSR example below). For these cases, it is important to remember that copyright does not extend to ideas. Therefore, incidents, settings or other elements which are indispensable, or at least standard, in the treatment of a given topic are ideas and cannot be copyrighted. For example, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has held that "elements such as drunks, prostitutes, vermin and derelict cars would appear in any realistic work about the work of policemen in the South Bronx." These "scenes a faire" are therefore unprotected. Likewise, the Seventh Circuit has held that mazes, tunnels and scoring tables are unprotected under the scenes a faire doctrine in video games like Duke Nukem. "
Maybe you should post some links tomake you point next time.
Remeber us, were AOL and have a hell of a lot of subscribers, oh and BTW we own Netscape which is a little more secure than the browser we currently ship with our software.
Look at projects where only one dominates, or there is only one branch.
Money gets spent well, but inovation is lacking.
On the other hand look at some of the projects that have multiple incarntions, some would say people should have reuesed code and not wasted so much time, but the projects combined would be more advanced than a loan project.
Go to the forum, Put forward a request for more source to be given back. If enough people support you it should make the monthly voting list.
I think there were disputes because Transgaming wated something in return (DLL seperation was hot on the list). and they did give things like the GDI engine back.
Anyhow, I pay transgaming a very small sum (a few pints of beer) to support games on a platform that many people choose. and as for 'native versions' they games should ship with linux and windows binaries.
Well.... Now I use the BBC web site, but don't have a T.V. so I don't pay a license.
Then there's the world service and all those Americans who view the web site.
Since the Government[the tax payer] already pays for OAP's, why don't we turn the BBC into some kind of national braodcasting company and pay for it out of taxes.
Do I grow all my own food, on my non-existant land, with seeds I found lieing around?
Every time I shop in a Major Store I'm paying for T.V., satalite serveices and newpapers, but I don't own a T.V. and don't pay a t.v. license, that's my choice.

1: Usability is a feature, and features can be usability.

If I'm blind then the previewing of sounds when I more the cursor over them is 100% usability.
If I can't be bothered to click on the files to play them then previewing of sounds is 100% usability.
If I've been out of the piss all night and can't manage to work XMMS then previewing sounds is 100% usability.

Or destructive emotions, if you want to explore ways of changing your brain chemistry.
People arn't ' fat, drunk, gay, disruptive, Communist', niggers, yanks or spiks, there people.

Nicotine 0.5mg Carbon Monoxide 7mg.
wanders what that means in English.....
Latins' not dead, it's just hiding.
Other things like acetate or acetylsalicylic acid (Asprin) where does that come from, maybe acetic acid? which comes from ethanol.
And then there's all those latin names for plants, it often makes them easier to identify then there common names. etc.....
In that case everyoune should get a broad language set.
Something like:
English(unstructured), Latin(very structured), Japaniese (More contextual)
Konqueror made up word so you I can easly enforce any trademark issues.
Windows common word, Micrsoft has no right to it.
Has SCO just tried to implement a method of breaking copy protection. in this case the protection to copy.

America Killed 100 people. Fact.
Our great homeland has fought a brave battle, with minimal loss of sweat we managed to remove 100 infidels from the evil opposition.
