Here is an example: aethera From what I gather this product seems to include both a groupware server system and a client, just like the software being developed for the German government.
Of course, you would be correct in saying the German government has no reason to care about the ecomonics of an American company.
Netscape opens with an inch long browser window, with teh rest of the screen taken up by error codes. I assume it is some kind of XUL error. I've tried killing my mozilla profile, thinking it is causing compatability errors, but no luck.
Considering the ship only going to take a few snaps before making a crash landing on the moon, perhaps we can persuade the rest of the N'Sync band to go as well?
We just need one. If all the OSS wordprocessors weren't useless MS Word clones I would make the switch. They are useless because the product they attempt to imulate, Word, is useless...
What we need is a WordPerfect clone. As it is I'll still be using my WordPerfect Office for Linux I guess....
How about you do it similar to the way Sun does with their click through lisense for the JDK?
Forgive me while I display my ignorance here, but it seems to be some kind of bizaro script/binary file that runs click through text through less or more (can't remember which). User agrees, and the archive is extracted.
These are genetically engineered to be resistant to pets correct? So if that doesn't mean they have been genetically modified to produce pesticides, how are they doing it?
Just as you rightly pointed out DNA is not harmful to humans, it is also not harmful to pets....
Just who do you think owns the car??? And even if somehow you saved up enough money to buy a car as a teen (Someone's allowance is too high....) you are *allowed* to drive at your parents descretion. Seesh, I hope you don't parent your kids the way the above post indicates you might. If you have kids, I've got to tell you, no one likes them. Oh and the teacher is not picking on them. As bad as they are at home around you, they behave the same way at school.... And don't get me started on the parents of those Columbine kids.... They had guns in plain site in their rooms! Hello! It's YOUR HOUSE! Don't you think you might want to know what goes on around there?
Not quite. The above poster makes inflamatory statements and then admits he has no evidence to back them up. I'm not sure if any of the slashdot categories fit, but that post did need to be modded down...
My mom hates Linux. She can't use it, but when I had Corel Linux on my machine, she really loved that. She would boot into it everytime she used the computer, even those she could have just as easily booted into Windows.
She Liked Corel Linux better...
Unfortunately, Corel make their linux distro a b*tch to upgrade, so it was impossible to use the latest software on it. Otherwise, it would still be my distro of choice. To date, no one comes even close to making a Linux distro as useable as Corel did back then.
I've used a lot of different PC systems and have learned some basic tenants that pretty much old true across the PC world. As such, I can sit down in front of any PC interface be it, Windows, DOS, CDE, KDE, Gnome, etc and pretty much work my way around it.
What I can not do, is make heads or tails of how to use a Mac. To me they are the most unintuitive pieces of junk I've ever encountered. But that is only because they do not follow any of the rules I am so accustomed to.
In short, what is "easy" and "intuitive" to a user, is that which follows the rules of least surprise. Linux users are primarily coming from the PC world. They are used to working in environments such as Solaris OS/2s and Windows. These people will be most productive if they do not have to through out all the accumulated knowledge they have learned over the years, and learn something new.
I can't fully describe it, but the effect is not of a WinXP look alike. Infact, I'd buy that it is an OS X look alike more readily. WinXP has a childish pastel looking and color scheme. KDE seem to borrow many elements from the Mac, and the colors, while blue, do not have a pastel look about them.
In my opinion, KDE's look is much more attractive.
I see someone else saw that silly Outer Limits episode with the photographer from Spin City. I think it was Outer Limits. The one where a bunch of advanced raptors come to earth and teach us about teleportation, but keep harping on about how you must eliminate redundancies....
Slashdot Mirror
What I would love is to be able to set up my desktop the way I setup my windows desktop.
That is, double-click, with the middle mouse button set as double-click.
Then you get the benefits of both. I only have to click once to open an item, but I don't get the false single clicks.
This is by far the best approach for me.
Barring that, I fall back on KDE's single-click, but totally hate it. Of course, I hate normal double-click even worse....
Hold up!
;)
You have no idea how long I've been trying to figure out what they are saying!
I've had that song stuck in my head since I was 6 when I first saw that movie.
Maybe now I can finally rest easy at night....
Did you read the article?
If you did you would know unless they are fibbing, that is part of the goals of this project....

* Mozilla works on my desktop

Bye bye Netscape.
Which would be totally ugly on a KDE desktop....
I think its probably your sig that is earning your funny mod.

Don't think small. We can eliminate them all!
No
BSD style lisense....
Speaking of Sony, time to bug them to support this on my NR70V!
Yes, someone does...
Riiiiight.
And there is an Archangel?
Jesus Christ was real?
Why is that? Because you read it in a book?
What is your objection to Jedi's? They saw it in a movie?
Oh that totally rocks!
I can't begin to say how usefull that select source feature will be to me....
We just need one. If all the OSS wordprocessors weren't useless MS Word clones I would make the switch. They are useless because the product they attempt to imulate, Word, is useless...

If you have never given it out. How can anything less than 100% of the messages be spam???
Actually, I tried editing the shell script just like you said.
Script no longer ran afterwards, even after I changed it back exactly as it was before.
Good think I made a copy of it first, as I would have had to dl it again over my dialup connection....

Yes, but the question is...who will keep the pres safe from Pretzels ???
That was my exact same experience.

From my experience, the KDE 1.x apps I used will NOT work on anything but KDE 1.x.
Lack of backwards compatability *is* a problem with the KDE project IMHO.
