So? Microsoft has no obligation to support KOffice and OpenOffice. It's their technology.
I'm sure KOffice and OpenOffice have a lot to offer on their own. They can't possibly survive by saying that they're "almost sorta kinda compatible with soon-to-be-obsolete versions of Microsoft Office."
None are available right now, but Sony announced that they will make "future Clie handhelds" with USB On-The-Go capability. Sony has a history of introducing new models every few months, so a USB On-The-Go Model might be available this year.
Read the message "We have detected that the browser you are using: Opera 7.01 running on Windows NT with an encryption level of 128 is not supported by PNC Bank Account Link."
Sorry. Thanks for playing.
When my browser "identifies" itself as Internet Explorer, sites shouldn't be able to tell that I'm not running Internet Explorer.
So replace "Wal-Mart" with "K-Mart" or "Target." There are only a few Wal-Marts in NY -- but the rest of the country is swarmed with 'em. As K-Marts close in New York, Wal-Mart will take their place.
I managed to make a backup to local folders using Mulberry. Mozilla and Evolution, as suggested by several posters, simply wouldn't let me drag and drop a folder onto another. Mozilla would create an empty folder tree and copy INBOX. Evolution displayed its "you can't do this" cursor and produced an error message basically saying "you can't do this."
I never tried this, but there are plenty of shops where you might be able to.
you can buy used panties from vending machines.
That ended almost 10 years ago. However, there are shops where you can buy entire uniforms previously worn by schoolgirls. I don't know if that includes underwear.
you can't buy a beer in a lawson's without passing at least one prostitute.
I bought a beer in a Lawson's without passing any prostitutes.
Not only are the new G4 towers loud, they're also very bright. A few months ago, a friend of mine bought a dual-1.25GHz machine with the 23" display (for about $3000 more than what it costs today). He put it in his dorm room. When the computer goes on standby, the lights on the front of the computer and monitor start pulsing in unison. The lights are so bright, they were actually preventing my friend and his roommate from sleeping.
One solution would have been to place tape over the light, but my friend wouldn't dare do that to his precious Apple equipment. Instead, he rigged up a little assembly of plastic cups to block out the light. At night time, the cups go on, and the annoyance goes away.
Windows Media Player 6.4 (Start > Run > mplayer2 in Windows 2000/XP) plays just about everything out there, and has the only interface of the big three (QuickTime, Real, WMP) that actually looks like a Windows application. It's fast, lightweight, and doesn't try to build a library out of everything you play. On my Windows XP laptop, it's the only media player I use where possible.
OT, who the hell thought that alt-f4 would make any sense for closing a window in Windows? Typing it with the left hand alone forces you to twist your wrist, and who would associate "f4" with "close" anyway? Mac OS got it down right the first time, as did BeOS.
So "CONTROL W" is more logical than "ALTERNATE FUNCTION 4" for "Close"? Windows supports both, you know.
AOL shipped NS 7.0 without popup blocking because that would hurt advertisers' interests, but reversed their decision because of public outcry.
Reversed? Netscape 7.01 blocks pop-ups from all sites except AOL and its advertisers, although those sites can be removed from the whitelist. Now, the true Slashdot geek runs Mozilla with at least three different proxies to anonymize himself and protect his identity, but those who download Netscape 7.01 will not be rid of pop-ups.
If Microsoft adds a pop-up blocker to Internet Explorer 7.0, it will not block ads served by MSN sites by default.
Chris' game company's MMORPG is the greatest game ever. I've been playing the secret closed alpha-test for weeks now, and the graphics and sound are simply spectacular. Sure, it doesn't have a license for a famous sci-fi series, decent sound, good graphic design, satisfying character development, or balanced design, but I think it'll really take off.
The real kicker: it's being released for Indrema, America's most innovative open-source gaming console. I can't wait!
Can you tell me where to specify that Windows should put up that box?
Sure, Mr. Sarcastic Windows-Hater. Go to the Control Panel, open Power, click "Advanced," and look at the section entitled "Power buttons." If you want to enable hibernation, click the "Hibernate" tab.
If you need any more help, press F1 on the desktop, go to Start > Help and Support, or visit Microsoft support.
So? Microsoft paid Sega to make Shenmue II, Jet Set Radio Future, Toe Jam & Earl III, etc. Xbox-only titles. Sony has an agreement with Take Two Interactive to make sure they don't publish a Grand Theft Auto title for any console besides PlayStation 2 (PCs don't count). These sorts of agreements are common.
If it keeps game publishing houses in business, more power to them.
I have been a fan of Square and Enix for many, many years. I still remember playing the very first Dragon Warrior (or, as the Japanese call it, "Dragon Quest") game on my Nintendo Entertainment System, not to mention Final Fantasy I, II, III, IV (which Americans know as "Final Fantasy II"), V, VI (which Americans know as "Final Fantasy III"), VII, VIII, IX, and X! Have you seen Final Fantasy XI yet? It's outstanding.

GNU TV would feature some of the funniest shows on television, powered by the Internet's funniest humor archive.

Where's a Pocket PC (or whatever they're called now) with a keyboard?
Here.

It's a pretty brief blurb, but AB's Slash-like site actually has comments on the article.

Since when does MSN have 90% of the market share for web pages?
You don't have the right to view a web page as you see fit. If you don't like the way MSN renders its web page for you, then use another page.
Opera cannot identify itself as MSIE.
If you think Opera can report itself as MSIE, I want you to try this test.

D'oh! I don't get Bravo... I'd have to get digital cable to have it.
Why on earth did Bravo schedule an hour-long Simpsons special at the same time as two Simpsons episodes?
Hi. I asked this question.
I managed to make a backup to local folders using Mulberry. Mozilla and Evolution, as suggested by several posters, simply wouldn't let me drag and drop a folder onto another. Mozilla would create an empty folder tree and copy INBOX. Evolution displayed its "you can't do this" cursor and produced an error message basically saying "you can't do this."
I have been to Japan.
you can buy teddy bears that are DILDOs.
I never tried this, but there are plenty of shops where you might be able to.

All of the fancy-schmancy toilets also have regular old flush levers. Nice for backward compatibility.
When I was in Japan last summer, I made it a point never to play with those buttons or dials. There's no "toy" in "toilet."
Not likely. Apple stopped reading those guidelines years ago.
Read the article. The games being described are freely distributed. They are made to be used as promotional tools.
That was published by Reuters. Yahoo doesn't make news; they just rebroadcast feeds.

CA released Unicenter 3.0 in August 2001. You shouldn't compare a project in development to a product that has already been superseded.
