Best program for watching/recording TV. It has many features which I don't even use, so maybe there are more (maybe streaming, I'm not sure..). It beats my tv-card manufacturer's program...
Just to remind you all- I saw too many people writing a wrong thing, thinking that if you'll clone yourself, and your clone will clone himself, etc, you can live forever this way.
So no. If you remember the sheep Dolly, Cloning, at least nowadays, is pretty primitive and if you clone an old man, he'll die pretty fast. It'll be good for children, maybe..
And also, imo, it's not like twins. They'll die young and grow fast, and.. besides.. who needs that stuff ? It sounds to me mostly like a game.. We play god, we control the nature, we can do anything we want, muhahahaha!!
Stupid, imo. Right. it'll be good for transplants. but what will we do - clone someone and then kill him when he is some months old, in order to take his lungs ? Isn't it.. you know, not humane a little ? just a little ?
He'll have feeling just as all of us, we're just confused a little because he wasn't born in the normal way. We would never think of killing someone 'normal' in order to get his liver for transplanting, would we ?
Hi. I'm also living in a 'Microsoft Country' as you call it. Yes, in Israel.
I don't agree with you at all. First, there is a great progress all the time, especially since last year - Have you seen pango ? (http://www.pango.org) ? Have you heard about qt3? In some months gtk & qt will support hebrew just like Windoze does, that means that it'll be much easier for programmers to make their X programs support hebrew, japanese, etc.
This is a GREAT progress, if you think about the fact that you can count on one hand the kind Israelis who are involved with localization and making linux work better with hebrew.
I think that everyone that thinks that linux needs improvements with hebrew/other language support, shouldn't just say 'I can't use linux' or 'I can use Linux but it's really really hard for me!', but to try and contribute, for making his and other's life easier. That's what the open source is made for: If you find a bug in an application instead of stopping to use this applicaion you'll either try to fix the bug by yourself or at least notify the author!
I was really happy to hear that, that's a very nice idea. But now I read here some comment which made me think that maybe some programs will start to save their configuration on this file system , just like windoze damned registry.
I really hope it won't happen, text file configuration files is da best imo.
Do you prefer getting 2.4 in time, but having tons of bugs ? The kernel guys are working very hard, they add tons of features and remove very bugs each pre release. It's very good that it takes time, We're going to have a great kernel that way.
And if one can't wait, he can always take the 2.4.0-testXX version, which are very stable already.
What the heck are you talking about..
Does the lyrics of death metal hurt anybody ? It's just offensive and that's all.
Nazis lyrics are _RACIST_... don't you all see the difference ??
I disagree with the first/second paragraph which cliams that if Nazi songs would be removed, the next would be Rap. How can you compare racist lyrics to 'violent' lyrics like 'fu** ya nigga'..
That's a hell of a different.
I'm really glad to hear that, and surprised to see that government INDEED cared about it and helped to reduce the CFC levels.
However, much more important environmental problem is the Greenhouse Effect & the global warming. It would cause terrible effects in the future, and it's even beggining now.
AFAIK, it won't be as easy as reducing the CFC levels is. It's mainly happening because of fossil fules usage, and it's pretty difficult to stop this and start using some other energy source. Maybe when the oil & coal in the world will be finished, world will also start some 'cooling effect'. I hope so. as I read not a long time ago, unlike what I thought, this effects start to affect earth already, and in the next decades we will really see the effects, thus even if the ozone hole won't be recovered, it'll be a minor problem for us.
I once saw some (BBC's ?) article about it. They said that Britian records all the phone calls at once. Sounds very weird and not pratical, if you ask me, but wait for the other part:
They claimed that their computers analyze all these calls to find interesting texts like 'bomb', 'terror', etc.
If you ask me, that's a big unimpossible bullshit. And think of the harddisk size needed for recording all that 7-years-data: I believe that in one day millions of calls are made. Let's say just million. recording million of 1-minute calls on mp3 will take about thousand Tera Bytes. per day. now calculate how much it takes in 7 years (just multiply in 2555).
Besides, let's just say it's true, why would they say it in public, and go to publish it on BBC ?
I think that they ARE afraid of Linux.
Sure they're not afraid that it'd take over their HOME users, which Linux isn't easy-to-use enough for this, but Linux has already taken a big part of the internet servers, And I'm sure that they really want to rule on this area, with their w2k.
I'll try to go into the author's mind and take his defination for an OS:
A pack of a text editor, browser, file manager, image editor, image viewer, desktop environment, modem softwares, internet softwares, network managing softwares, filesystem tools, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT: _GAMES_ !!! (solitaire recommended).
oh, I almost forgot: and also a little-unimportant system for taking care of the hardware.

If you ask me, it's just a Micro$oft adv.

It's been all a plan, made by the ext3 developers. JFS/XFS wives: I'd be staying at home.

For "real" db proposess it can be just great.
I'm tired of waiting for reiserfs patches in order to upgrade a kernel. It's about the time.

Think of the CPU power you need for analyzing hundrads of thousands of calls per minute. I think it's impossible with our current technology.

StarOffice seems to fit all your requests, and unlike frame, it's free.
If so, they should have done this ad with a mutating chamaelon :)
