  1. Re:Office 11 EULA on SuSE Linux will run Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    Fair use, I don't think that they will be able to nforce such a restriction in the EULA, especially in Europe where there's a whole lot of consumer protection over contracts of sale.

  2. Re:Visio Whore on SuSE Linux will run Microsoft Office · · Score: 2

    The UI in Visio is just so painfully crap, I havn't worked out how to add an element using the keyboard yet, I've been told it's not possible you need drag and drop.

    Visio is just far to slow, I find it easier to produce documents with diagrams in corel draw or word.

    Visio is a good idea, it's just the UI that Sucks, I've never found anyone that uses it by 'choice'

  5. Open Office on SuSE Linux will run Microsoft Office · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've been using Open Office for at least a Year with no problems, but then again I don't use.

    Visio, Outlook or Access.

    Visio is just painfull, so I suppose it's a good thing that there isn't a Free Visio-a-like.

    Outlook is fairly intergrated and complete, all Linux equivelents I've tried so far fall short.

    Access is handy for small DB needs, it's crap but still quite widley used because it's easy. I have a Free port of Access for Linux underway and expect to have a Open-Office Db driver shortly.

    Anything anyone else would 'miss' from the Office Suite?

  9. Re:oliverthered should define civil war on Saddam's Inbox Hacked · · Score: 1

    I was defining being more tolarant of other people.
    So as a goverment in a country with no cival war how tolarant are 'you' to other people.

    How many people does the UK government (who are getting more like the US) kill each year for being 'freeks' [criminals, 'terrorists' etc...]
    and how many people does the US government kill.

    The UK goverment is letting 'terrorists' out of prison, while in the US it appears everything is being done to kill some killers.

    %people kill by the goverment whilst inforcing 'justice' is a rough cut measure of tollarance.

    What this teaches you is to be tollerent of others, not to kill the fuckers.

    Maybe, just maybe there are a lot of countries/people that hate the dictatorship that America is trying to impose on the rest of the world . Should they kill Bush for being evil?

    I'm Alergic to Wool any many other things sheepish, so not only would I be hot, I'd be hot and itchy.

    Any-how, why should I spend loads of money on cloths, just turn the heating down, wear T-shirts (or jumpers if you cold), open the windows and get a bit of fresh air around the place.

    (BTW I wear cotton shirts and break a sweat if it gets above 22Deg C (or about 70F)

  23. Very Object Orientated on As Languages Evolve... · · Score: 2

    I believe that the next generateion of languages will contain the following new(ish) abstratrions.

    Data encapsulation:
    All data on the system is encapsulated with some Meta-data describing it's type, origin, rights, source,destination etc.....
    This will give a huge increase in security, and allow for radicly different programming models.

    Profiling JIT compilers:
    JIT compilers that profile your code, and use the profile data to occasionally peform a
    re-optimized compile.

    MPP:
    Applications will be written to take advantage on MPP, as chip manufactures start adding things like hyperthreading to there CPU's and it becomes more efficient to build a PC with 8CPU's than with one fast one, coding practices will change to allow applicaitons to run more effiently in MPP environments.
