I don't think they are 8.3 style limited, I'd say more like 32 chars limited like the original Mac OS.

Why are they crap? They are all made by the same multinationals.....and even if they are not as good I suspect the lack of a 5 megapixel camera in our phones is not what is holding us back.
I'm with the other guy. Our phones are plenty affordable and feature-full, but I just don't want one. I don't want people calling when I'm takin a piss just so I can look important.
It does everything I want, the way I want. I have the all the prefs set just how I like 'em. For example turning off the icons on the toolbar and showing only text buttons. I don't really need firebird's pretty icons. =)
I run mozilla for weeks at a time, launch speed is irrelevant. The only thing firebird offers me is less features and more bugs. No thanks.
I've been waiting for years for mozilla to be finished, and I'm not going back to another half finished browser and mail ever again. Call me up when *bird reaches 2.0, and I'll take a look.
Windows XP and up have tons of commandline programs included in the default install and also have a whole new scripting environment as well called "windows scripting host." These are avail as downloads to earlier windows.
WSH is extremely powerful, at times even more powerful than the unix tools, since you have access to the whole windows api in a script. In unix you could still write a program if you needed to, of course. Your info on windows scriptability is several years out of date. SFU just ups the ante.
That said, I still haven't bothered to learn WSH, because I want to move away from proprietary os's soon.
Fuck off. Ten guys just posted redundantly that the new player install does almost all the same shit it always has... yes, on windows, a mere 90%+ of the userbase.
If you don't have any "concerns" about real's business practices, you obviously don't know what you are talking about, or are some kind of paid shill.
Now the civilized (and not so) among us here are discussing the issue and learning new things from each other. That's why we're here, remember? Actually, I just learned two things from you. 1) That real contributes to open source more than I thought, and 2), you're a prick.
As a matter of fact, when I wrote my original post near the top of this thread I meant to write that they should "contribute more to open source." I know they have done some, but it ain't _nearly_ enough yet to change their image problem. They will have to shift into Mother Teresa mode for several years before one of their bytes touches any machine I own.

got any recomendations? My laptop only has vga out, and I'd like to use it to play dvd's on the road.
you can watch it almost live ... 15-30 mins behind with a DVR
Right, the itanium is a nice machine, but I wouldn't want one at home.

Yeah, but what good is pulling a bandwagon if no one gets on?
Who cares if he gets fired with all that money? He should just quit and write oss if he would like. That is if aol doesn't own him.
Funny, you've just described the exact same thing that happened to me....
Except reverse perl and python =)

Hmm, mozilla hasn't crashed in 6 months on me, and I use the browser and mail every day. I'm not sure that is that big of a deal.
nope, he's right AC. We don't have to meet them half way. Computers should serve us, not the other way around.

msconfig and mozilla are your friends.
Try the knoppix cd, there are a few oggs for sampling.

Don't bother replying, you've been foe'd.
Maybe you missed the HP/Compaq merger a year or two ago?
I have been using it too, and am very happy with it. It doesn't seem to play dvd's though. Can it? Or, is anyone working on a plugin?
Funny. Please mod up.
I mean in a visible way, like ibm or sgi. Well, at least big enough so someone would have heard of it.
Or possibly, maybe I hate real so much I have purposely shut my mind whenever encountering real news. (quite likely)
That, and reading the other posts here would lead me to believe real has an image problem.
Ok, good. Now let's see their business practices align with that, and they will be good to go gaining people's trust again. But it will take a while.
Let me introduce you to msi.
Linux with the Workplace Shell!! Or, was it called Presentation manager or something?
