well for $500 i think i'll spend that money on that awesome Microsoft Office XP Sans-Paperclip Sweet Suite!!! =)
no... but seriously
i would rather buy a few devices that are cheap and does what it does well than buy something gigantic that's whooping $500 with all the features that are meaningless on such a small device. let's face it, are you going to do your textediting and coding on that little PDA?
to have something bloated like this kind of reminds me of a certain-shall-remain-nameless text editor that contains an email client, a webbrowser and all the other stuff in it....
oh-oh-oh wait!! but if you just get one of those PDAs, install ema.... ummm *that* browser-text editor and you're ready to find get a life time supply of porn. oh gee isnt that great....:-\
first of all, we all know that this IE isnt bundled with macOS, so obviously it means MS wrote this just for that platform for whatever reason.... now you cant blame the OS or whatever anymore - IE's constantly having having security holes. these guys are professionals for goodness' sake. i dont see why this is a problem because IE shouldnt have been way up there on the priority list for the guys at MS to push it out the door for the mac - despite how undependable/unstable it is.
(as an aside (slightly off topic), my school lab now has ONLY IE installed and no netscape. it's not such a big deal since the network isnt mine....)
$479 for Office XP!?!?! remember that's in US dollars well. the price is just insane. it's funny that a company that produces unstable bloatware 'suites' think that they are just as good as the hardware designers. because it looks like it's even more expensive than a bloody computer processor!
each year they add a few clicks here, move the menus around, change the file format a bit so no one could parse it properly and then they would sell it for sky high. well if they quality of the software justifies the cost, that's fine. but obviously but unfortunately it's not the case. now that's the cost for one person if he/she wants to buy it. if he makes (let's say) $30 an hour. it would take him 16 hours = 2 days of salary just to be wasted on this.... minus tax, minus food/shelter/money to be spent on car/insurances... that's about 3-4 days of salary just to get something like that...oh man....!
now imagine the whole company wanting to upgrade for whatever reason (yes.. it's true... just look around the labs in your college/university campus. they ALL want to spend so much money for the upgrade for whatever reason...)...
BUT afterall, i never bought a copy of office. my windows is a pirated version. so it's still free for me.... unfortunately it takes at least one person to buy it before i can burn myself a CD copy...
hope the new version of staroffice is not as bloat and can actually keep consistant formats so i can write my engeering docs and paper on it day in and day out!
does mandrake installation allow acclerated graphics support right out of the box?
i'm using ati rage 128 card and debian woody installation doesnt provide it nor does sid/unstable. and i'm really unhappy about this..
i think they're not including some modules in the kernel images they have. i have do to do it myself. not that i cant but other modules dont work properly and i dont time to waste on things like that. but i'd still rather use debian in favor of any rpm since it's so much cleaner.
chances are that if they guy's smart enough to know how evil and how bad m$ software is, he should be smart enough to create a homepage without the help of ms-frontpage. and that doesnt require intelligence at first anyway;)
does it really matter what the anchors think and act when people are dead? feeling's from the inside, not whatever you tell them to feel. what the hell does information age has to do with this? next thing you know you'll be blaming the internet for this. oh oh.. or maybe it's the transister's fault. maybe it's slashdot's fault. you seriously have isues. why dont you save your shit and shut up. sometimes it's better for you not to say or write anything - especially in the situation right now - dont act as if you know everything; you're offending a lot of people and making matters worse
does it mean all the modules are compiled in? everything? i mean will i be able to get accleration on my ati 128 rage card without worrying whether it's in there bundled up?
will it speed things up with better memory mgmt so wine will actually start up faster?
ok. so it's a commercial unix kernel.. but can i still download it for free.. well......honestly doesnt it matter whether it's free? everything's free anyway. i never pay for a copy of windows....:)
well, unless you're running a company, you cant do that...
when i got my ati rage 128 card, X, at that time didnt support it - because ati wouldnt release any specs. they still dont. i really wonder how long it will take before X supports this new card?
but of course you wouldnt be playing hardware acclerated games on linux other than quake...
(does anybody reverse engineer the window drivers to get the specs for X i wonder...)
for goodness' sake, what's missing in mandrake is the "click here to start" bouncy arrow! now how am i going to get any work done without it? what's XP again?:)
i'm using win98 SE and i find it really stable already according to microsoft standards. the uptime is 24 hours in case you're wondering. zonealarm works well with that too. win98 will also be my final microsoft OS since they newer OSes are too slow, unstable... and doesnt even support new hardware for crying out loud.
linux doesnt always support new hardware too and lack a lot of device drivers, but at least it's stable and free
(i never by windows, so that's also free anyway. what i dont understand is why university labs always upgrade to windows 2000... perhaps they have too much money for the m$ tax.)
Slashdot Mirror
we all know that
i was going to the
will this affect staroffice users?
will i be having an even harder time finding jobs when i graduate - which is in just a few months?
remember the joke back in highschool when someone would ask you:
"does your dick say 'micro machine'" on it?
and you were supposed to say "no it doesnt!"
and he would say "then it's not the real thing!"

there's also an win32 version of vim. i use it everyday for my vhdl coding.

how about the turquoise look? are we really trying to keep it this way... it isnt exactly the retro type of grooviness ;)

to me it just sounds like we need more pop-up filtering commands....
Tagged!!! now you're IT!! :)

since banjo is slashdotted, has anyone seen whether it still has the unattractive turquoise "look"? google wasnt fast enough to cache it...
what's the diff between banjo, bender and fry?
or is banjo just their temp server they are using...
