Surely the XPde project will include icons in the start menu that say "Office" and point to Open Office. So she won't even need to install Office in the first place.
BTW, it's kind of funny when someone comes up to you and says that Windows XP doesn't have Office like Windows 98 did... Can you install 98 for me?
Maybe the CLI should be unnecessary, but that probably isn't even true of Windows. Try partitioning a new disk. Unless things have changed recently, you'll have to use fdisk (third party software excluded).
They have. Since Windows 2000 there has been a GUI based "Disk Manager". It will let you create/formate/delete/resize partitions on the fly.
Not really. I recently moved and of course had to change my address with credit card companies, mobile phone, bank, etc. They asked for my new phone number, I told them that I didn't have one, and to put me on mail correspondence only. They have no telephone on record for me ergo they cannot call me for any reason at all.
I was talking about the fact that a business can call you to collect money until you write a letter stating you wish to recieve only mail correspondence. Simply changing your number could have the same net effect, for a while... As soon as they get a hold of your home phone number they can call you.
Have you ever thought that the slashdot editors might be `painting a picture of a garbage dump'? That is to say, making a story out of projects that few people care about...
Sure, I can see that happening on any slow day.
You see, there are a lot of pointless projects out there. I don't complain about them until someone decides to stick them in my face and say "take a look at this".
No one is forcing you to read, or respond to this article. You do that under your own free will.
It's the fact that useless things are getting press-coverage that the complaints are truly about.
It is certainly not useless to the developer.
Why do you think people complain about the press covering hi-speed pursuits, and similar, trivial events.
If you really don't like the articles posted here, then why do you waste your time here?
So how come almost every time someone wants to implement some software to accomplish something that has "Been done before", there's always someone chirping in with "Do we really need another....". Sheesh people, if everyone only used/improved what was already available we wouldn't have Linux, Windows, or PCs for that matter.
Made the mistake of putting a nic next to my GeForce 3 Ti200... the nic prevented the fan from turning on the video card, luckily, I noticed after about 2 minutes.
It really never ends... of course if all you'd like to do is play counterstrike you can get by quite well like myself with a really old p3-450 + geforce1.
You mean I didn't need to buy a P4 2.4 GHz + GeForce 3 Ti500 to play Counter-Strike?!?!?! Damn! I could have fed my kids with that money!
Anyways, by the time cocaine was completely eliminated from the Coca-Cola reciped, it already existed in such small traces that it had zero effect on the person consuming the drink.
It's just important that such a person realizes, aside from gaining some small amount of technical knowledge and problem-solving skills, such an act is also little more productive than a fragfest.
That's why I play Quake III while everything is compiling in the background!

I've never had the "pleasure" of using NT 3.1 though

Would you mind if I used this in my sig?
Quit lying, you didn't read the article.
Yeah right... it won't work

I use one PC#1:
Mozilla(Win32)
Internet Explorer
Opera(Win32)
Phoenix(Win32)
Mozilla(L
Phoenix(Linux)
Konqueror(Linux)
On PC#2(connect shared from PC#1):
Mozilla(Win32)
Internet Explorer
So tell me, how do you suppose your idea would prove that I share my connection? Especially considering the most use is on PC#1.

Just asking (on the phone) isn't enough, you have to write a letter.

I would ask what my chances are, but then I already know the answer.

Use the prview button! I can't spell!
Actually you're wrong. If you look at their website they are still selling the service as "Ulimited" and "Always On".
You're forgetting the simple facts:
1) Service is advertised as "Unlimited" and "Always On"
2) Service is sold as "Unlimited" for a fixed rate.
Now granted, in the TOS there is probably a statement to the effect that NTL is authorized to change the terms of the service agreement at any time.

LOL! Now, how come I never have mod points when I see something that's acutally funny?
Pigs fly and Hell has frozen over!
Are the moderators today just retarded??? Or do they totally lack a sense of humor?
And you have to also consider the fact that the movie is being projected on a reflective screen in the dark.
I hope this was just a joke I don't get :)

Why is it that with new articles, posters never bother to read the fine article? Or the headline for that matter?
RTFA!!!!
