You know you can easily turn off any sections you're not interested in seeing, right? That way the many people who are interested can see the follow-up summary while you ignore it. Or you can separately check out some of the best comments at Seen on Slash (mostly funny).
Very true. The people who are here posting "anything's better than Microsoft" aren't from the OpenOffice.org team (I assume). They're just spectators. And in that case this dogma is fair.
Meanwhile, Paris may put their deployment on hold because the French Ministry of Defense says it falls short in the area of security. Specifically they can get malicious macro code to execute with no user warning. Microsoft Office, on the other hand, annoys you at every chance that a macro will run. Fortunately the lab is actually working with OpenOffice.org to have the issues resolved.
As a software developer working with Microsoft's tools on Microsoft's platforms gave me nothing but stress. If stress doesn't affect your happiness there's something wrong with you.
Right, the same Adobe that had a well known university professor arrested for making a speech? Yeah, they have my vote for overlord...
Anyway, if you don't like one standards organization it doesn't mean you should bundle yourself up in a proprietary binary format. Write a new incredible standard and people will support it. Or go help start a new standards organization. Your solution isn't a solution. It just contributes to the problems.
How is a shatter attack a configuration error? Any application can send a windowing message to any other. Period. No configuration or security setting can prevent it. The windowing system is most certainly a core component of Windows, making it an OS design flaw.
I used to get a fat paycheck and great bonuses. Now I make less money and no longer touch Microsoft software. I'm much much happier. Money isn't everything.
a "digital lifestyle" will save lives because it stops people from killing themselvs when they get depressed and lonely.
That sounds logical but in my experience it's not true. A person who is depressed and lonely is still depressed and lonely while playing a video game. He's just temporarily entertained which keeps his mind of off it. But the underlying problem still persists.
Online socializing, however, does seem to help at least a little. As long as there is interaction with other human beings in some form. It's simply a human need.
Egg white coagulates between 144 and 149F, egg yolk coagulates between 149 and 158F and whole eggs between 144 and 158F. Plain whole eggs without added ingredients are pasteurized but not cooked by bringing them to 140F and maintaining that temperature for 3 and 1/2 minutes.
Are you a hermit because your "digital lifestyle" makes it easy and comfortable? I guess what I'm asking is would you still be a hermit if the internet didn't exist?
If you would choose to be a hermit no matter what, then the internet is simply providing more forms of socializing. But if you're only a hermit because of the comfort of the internet then it might be a problem.
For those who would be shut-ins anyway this bundle of tubes provides a way to socialize. People need to interact, but they're always finding new ways to do it online:/. threads, forums, blogs and blog comments, chat rooms, Second Life, etc. There's a problem when a person who would otherwise be out socializing becomes a shut-in. But for those who are more comfortable as shut-ins there are new ways to socialize.
I was a.NET developer for a few years. The documentation is terrible. The sample code is no more elaborate than "Hello world" and many methods get a one-line explanation with no details of what changes in different scenarios. VBScript has better documentation. Scary.
We're not taking aim at the open-source movement, but we hate the fact you like to be open and honest. How dare you tell people what's really going on! We're the only ones with the authority to do that!
That is interesting. But what I'd really like to know is how they determined the time. I've never seen an OSS project which publishes how many hours of work when into writing it. It must be pure speculation. Since they're targeting the OSS illiterate too many people are going to believe these made-up numbers.
It's ironic (considering this new site) that Microsoft has plenty to say about what their software is but lack in useful documentation. It's literally the opposite of OSS. Microsoft provides pleny of marketing to make sure everyone knows what they offer, yet for the technical they offer little help.
Look, just tell me how many pipes I need and when to buy a truck. Anything else is beyond our comprehension. Plus, does this even compensate for the poker chips and horses? I don't think so.

Damn it, spelled practical wrong. Now some grammar nazi is going to hunt me down.
This dogma is practicle. Competition is a good thing.

You can count instruments but a pile of bloody sponges is much harder to count. Besides, this solution is way geekier.

What are you trying to prove here anyway?
I'm studying the effects of negative reinforcement on E.S.P. ability.
The effect? I'll tell you what the effect is, it's pissing me off!

WHY, God, WHY!?!
Because you chose to run Microsoft software. These are the consequences.
Exactly. We're talking about data interchange between systems, not single system efficiency.

That's true, but only because of the large array on Inktomai linux servers they use for caching. Ironic.

Thanks, you just lowered the value of the network by adding an incorrect link. ;)
