(oh, feel free to offtopic my post, as it *actually* is.
Almost like David vs. Goliath, except in this case, David has two broken arms, no legs, 3 gunshot wounds center mass, and massive blunt trauma to the head. And Goliath is a hungry T-Rex.
I gotta say, the thing appears to still be responding right now as I post, not bad, not bad at all. Not necessarily *working*, but responding. Hit that/cgi/tcp page and check the connections, truely evil.
np. not a dig against the post; but in a dynamic app server vs. Slashdot battle, we all know to whom go the spoils of victory! A static cache provided by Slashdot would be better, but that's a dead horse best left unbeaten.
Nothing like plain old C code, with a sprinkling of E-SQL against Infomix SE and Vitamin C ansi libraries for UI handling, all run on SCO 3.2 (and 5.0.5)
All this to handle dog licenses and deeds for county clerks. Oh the fun!!
Thank you for making my ordinary day extraordinary! Bleh.
NWAdmin's tool was so powerful, we migrated all of our SAM-based NT domains 4.0 to NDS for NT 2.0 on Novell 4.x in as OU's in the primary tree. (No small task, this was at the number 1 largest air conditioning company in the world no less.)
Nothing better than having a single interface to manage all your organizations accounts and permissions, especially NWAdmin.
Now, apply that to linux/*nix services across the board, and you've got a winner. Albeit a most likely expensive, commercial winner...
I guess I'll place you in the "disagree" category.
I use OO on my Mac, XP and Linux (uck, RH 9.1-shrike, but hey, it works) boxes here at work too. For anything other than simple stuff (which is actually rare here) it all works fine, and is much faster. God, OO blows Office v.X away on my Mac. For 90% of everything else, I have to use the actual Microsoft products, oh, and don't get me started on Mac vs. PC compatbility, _just within Microsoft own products_. That's just here @ work though, my family in general doesn't do complex stuff.
I'm not against Linux, *BSD, OSS... Just unhappy with Lindows supposed compatibility.
Now forget about Office documents and get everybody's kids games working on your stock RH machine. Under a rock, pfft...
Nowhere in his statement did mgv claim anything as a general case. He stated *his* need for a specific feature.
Nor did I, none of my family or friends put video into PPT, Word, etc.. at work, that's a whole different story, embedded excel charts, videos, flash movies, our AE's put all sorts of shit in there.
Good, I'm glad. Works great for a lot of stuff I have too, especially Word and Excel (well, forget password protected Excel documents, Calc just says you're just fucked with those.)
Powerpoint though... sorry, it does much better with them nowadays. But, I'm on 1.0.3, and it still hoses graphics randomly (incorrect scaling, weird color dithering in gradients, etc... oh, and the PowerPoint import is ungodly slow.)
Maybe 1.0.3.1 fixes some of that, but I don't know yet.
Whatever, yes, it does work... but when weird shit shows up, non-saavy users don't have Clue-1 what to do about it. Just make it work, that's all you're going to hear.
God, I feel/sound like a Microsoft salesperson today. I need to take a hot, cleansing shower to rinse the stench off.

I am Jack's fear of meatloaf's heaving man-breasts.
Oh... my bad. Thought a direct SSL link from /.'s homepage might suck for the end user.
Nevermind then.
Ok everybody, back to DDoS'ing the SSL link.
Thanks for the update.

Oh my. My fragile grip on reality has now been torn asunder!!
Damn you !!!!!!
(Actually, thanks for clearing that up...)
Well then, for the feminine side of things, they'd probably need to go with Nermal.
Although, should they do that, there's a good chance their next OS will get drop-shipped to Abu Dhabi.
It seems so unfair, Ethernut vs. Slashdot vs.

The answer is simple: because we can!
oh man, I haven't laughed that fucking hard in ages. Thank you for providing my daily dose of comic relief!

Mmmm... tasty, you bring back such fond memories.

Hmmm... probably something to do with that link right in the article about 51 images.
/sarcasm :)
*roaring sound of 30,000 geeks clicking for pretty pictures simultaneously*
Not sure why I can't get to the site.
mmmmmmmm... force feedback /homer
You're on to something DP

Sorry, it only takes nano-sized Chuck E. Cheese tokens.
:(
I think the token-machine is out-of-order right now though
Who's to say the machines don't posses an inimical desire to destroy everything which it encounters, hmmm?
oh crap, my tinfoil hat fell off again!
Don't really care. Karma is irrelevant.
Bitchslapping happens when we get this OT anyhow.
a) I don't typically. The rest of my family does often email things like word docs around.
b) Usually they are communicating with people at work, who do email Excel, Word and PPT's on a very regular basis.
c) I only used office documents as an example.
d) I like to mess with my family by sending random binary attachments for which they have absolutely no use.
no problem. it's early, and I still have yet to get that coffee.
True, but I can't legally format and reinstall their brains.

Well, at least you didn't post AC, so I'll bite:
Nowhere in his statement did mgv claim anything as a general case. He stated *his* need for a specific feature.
