    Ok, im a linux user, dont use windows at all - but i used to.. Im heading back to school in a few days, and Hemos' post made me think, even though there are many (5 viable) options in the linux world of office suites - which one is most complete, fast, compatable - compared to MS Office - from my experience they all have there downfalls, which one do you use?
    Sure, mod this as offtopic if you must - but it is an important question, dont forget that before you moderate!

    i find it just easier to have something not in my httpd path like "/usr/local/apache/php-inc" and shove them all there, makes it alot easier to manage, just set that as a default include path then you dont have to worry about "include /home/httpd/html/dodgephp/dascrip/database.inc" just "include database.inc" :-) or, if your l33t and all your web pages use some database stuff have it always include database.inc (in php.ini) :-)

    How can u backup 80gig?

    on 80min cd's (700mb) thats 114 cd's = $125 for good quality BASF cd's.

    on a 4x (most common burner) taking 20min for each 80min cd, + 2 min for swapping/labeling/etc that s 2508 minutes, also known as 41 hours, where you cant sleep.

    Hows that for backing up? I think not!

  10. Re:Australia - have to agree! on Is The U.S. No Longer The Choice For Freedom? · · Score: 1
    I live in Australia, and I think it is probably one of the best places to live.. I know alot of people from all over the world, US, canada, europe, asia etc. Whenever any of them come to Australia they think its heaven.

    Our political system is highly democratic, and if theres the slightest sign of a brake in deomcracy its noticed immediatly and the people will NOT tollerate it.

    To add to that, we have a large multi cultural back ground, people from all around the world, its great!.

    The only thing that i find a problem is sometimes some of the political members seem a bit mentally challenged when it comes to the IT sector, but you get that...

  12. IRC - people are the best help on Gnome/KDE Tutorials For Windows Users? · · Score: 1
    Goto an IRC channel, not a large one - eg dont hop onto efnet or dalnet, goto something local (For me, thats ozorg) - try openprojects - #linpeople or #debian or #redhat etc.. ask your question and someone can probably help.. but ignore people who say things like 'thisl fix it: rm -rf /' (that will kill ur entire linux install, and possibly windows!) good luck David

  18. divx, asf, etc can be played on descent players.. on New MPEG 4-Based Open Source Codec · · Score: 1

    and if your wondering, a good mpeg player is mptv, here - the back end thing is free, but the front end is not free, but there is a SDK for it.. so if an opensource person would like to write a descent frontend, thatd be good!

    If you want a REAL way to play Counter-Strike under linux, you are best to do it with OpenGL. Look at my post furthur down, for the link to THE linux Half-Life site: http://lhl.linuxgames.com.
