Well, so long as it actually works, and isn't just a token gesture, that someone on the WM team decided to do over their lunch break, and just so long as it doesn't try to do anything funny, like send MS a list of all my files, or what I'm reading etc...
Write-in's were the best part, as it just became a competition to see what the funniest end for the question could be. The best I remembered was IMac: I'd rather have a ____ coloured one.

When they started the 2.3 series, I can remember that every decided that we didn't care about the kernel releases, unless they were majorly important. CmdrTaco even said that they wouldn't be posted (IIRC). So why have they started again? This is Freshmeats job.
Or can I start posting my release info to slashdot front page?
Well, I released GNOME-Iconedit last week, so http://www.abdn.ac.uk/~u07ih/gnome-iconedit
Just out of interest, what does Staroffice not working got to do with you changing from E to Sawmill? Staroffice crashing is a Staroffice fault, nothing to do with GNOME.

Sorry, this is the same America where people can actually use cable modems, and even when they can't their phone calls aren't metered?
Compared to the UK with it's metered phone calls (makes for expensive internet) and DSL in "test mode" with roll out constantly being put back.
When it comes to internet access, America can hardly complain about not getting a good deal.
If you don't install GB then Gnumeric doesn't support it. Simple as that. However I don't think the coders are stupid enough to merrily copy all the insecurities of VBA straight into Linux.
http://www.lynux.com I think. From accidently finding it about a year ago (It was an accident, honest) I can't check if it still is what it was then, because I'm sitting in a packed computer room so if it's changed into something acceptable, or doesn't exist anymore, sorry.

The thing is, it's very easy to control what someone says, all you have to do, is make them think that they are saying it independently of you. A mailing list I spent a lot of time on, I could tailor my comments for specific people to get to say the things I wanted them to say, but they never realised it.
(Yes, the mailing list was a general no-fixed-topic type one)
The what was your point again was actually me noticing the point and then noticing that it was null because it was based around an incredibly subjective argument.
s/rpm/deb/ Doesn't matter really. There's also gnorpm, krpm, gnome-apt... that simplify it all. How does one go about installing things on NT (without administrator priviledges?) (seeing as comparing Win98 and Linux is an apples oranges thing)

A) Makes no sense B) I think your point was actually "It's far easier to do these things in Windows than Linux", which I think I proved is an incredibly subjective statement.
Half the time windows denies I have a CDrom drive I've never got my zip drive to work in windows I've no idea how to set up a modem in windows or how to hook up a plug and play usb scanner
I'm glad to see this is happening, it's been a long time, but Mozilla just keeps getting better and better. I've been using M11 as a replacment for Netscape (although all I use it for is to read offline GTK+ documents) and it's been brilliant.
From what I've seen of this current series It's been a bit sucky Although in the UK we might be a season behind but I don't think so cos Treehouse of Horrors X is on on Saturday (Nothing like putting a halloween ep on Mid-January)

I always wonder when seeing these letters people write, do you ever receive any replies to them?

Hmmm, well done mr moderator.
Give yourself a big pat on the back.
Then get round to finishing that reading course.

I did.
No change.
So I deleted the cookies I didn't like
and then made the file read-only.
No change here.... .doubleclick line, and all the other ad ones.
So I just deleted the

This freeze is only for the gnome-core package, NOT for the whole of GNOME.

The one I really want
is
i.should.co.co
but I dunno how to register a hostname in columbia (or whereever CO is)
IE
1,000,000,000 (US)
or
1,000,000,000,000 (UK)
There's a large difference.
I hadu ct.com, whenever I was running "illegal"* servers off my university network.
