If you complain about bundling Realplayer into Windows then you should tell us how else we can FIX the problem. RP would most likely be on many computers today if it hadn't been for MS giving away from free their ASF encoder/server.
The reason is simple. If Real didn't have to put through all the illegal conduct that MS put them through they wouldn't have had to rely on spyware to survive and their product would probably be installed on the majority of computers right now.
You see RealPlayer only started to suck when MS offered its ASF encoder/server for free hoping to dethrown Real who needs to charge for their software because they don't have an OS monopoly to finance everything they do for the next 10 years.
is that the people in charge of funding them are always looking for military use. It goes to show how the US military is spending way too much for what they get. I mean a missile costing 250,000$USD?? cmon it's the size of a spray paint can!
Now I'm all for helping people with disabilities and all but if they build this with the military in mind they'll most likely not have an invention which is affordable to someone on disability.
I'll give just a few examples with Konqueror then.
1. Why does the "View With Cervisia" button appear when the folder you are viewing isn't even a CVS directory? If your program can guess this faster than I can then I should have to see this at all.
2. Now the menu bar (Location, Edit, View,...). Why aren't these padded on the left and right? Why are they so close to one another?
3. Why do you have so many different views? And most importantly why do you have "Info List View" and "Detailed List View". Isn't just one sufficient?
4. why is it that the only place I can right-click to customize my toolbar is the go button? I happen to right-click on the tool bar to attempt any such customization.
I may not be Jakob Nielsen but I happen to do Usability consulting for big players in the industry in Europe and in North America. The problem with KDE right now as I said is that it is too kluttered.
is that acceptance of Internet is much slower than it is in the US. It is hard to remove a perceived right in the US but in the EU most people aren't sharing files yet so it will be easier for them to implement such laws.
Right now I'm making software and not making much money at all with it. But soon I'm going back to school in something totally unrelated to computer science and when I get out I won't work building software at all. On my spare time I'll probably be writing software and helping others who wrote software for free with the money I'll be making. Why you ask? Because I prefer giving 20$ to get a linux distribution I don't need to care about licensing or how many computers I have it installed on.
thanks for replying. I am using Slackware and the Live Distro is Knoppix which I used when I screwed up things on my hdd so I thought it would be helpful in case I did something stupid here.
I am using Lilo as a boot loader. I do not have Windows installed at all on this hard drive.
[~]$ mount
/dev/hda1 on / type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda2 on/home type reiserfs (rw)
devpts on/dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
proc on/proc type proc (rw)
usbfs on/proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
I have a live CD sitting around. I'd like to know if there is a way to backup my kernel (in some other folder or something) and if attempting to install the 2.6 kernel doesn't work I'd just copy everything back. Is there a way to do this? Where do I start?

I'm hoping to see something from Novell (Suse) soon.
then find a way to make him join a team.

cause NVIDIA was the first to release drivers for XFree and I have gotten used to NVIDIA line of products as a result.
I'm still compiling my Gentoo whereas I could get Mandrake installed within 1 hour.
Same goes to NASA who's purpose isn't to kill people that come in the way of "our national interests".

Seriously I hear all kind of good things with KDE but the thing still looks way too kluttered for the average Joe.

I'd push it up a notch

what software are we actually talking about? Something vital or something that is added on like utilities?
absolutly nothing.
the prices are still as high and higher than before the court found them guilty of price fixing.
I don't like this practice.
doesn't work for me at all. Yet I do what it says. I have a line with a DTD but it says it doesn't. The URL is : http://xutopia.dyndns.org/binks/
If enough people like me are so frustrated with Yahoo and not put their pages up on it then Yahoo will become more irrellevant than it currently is.
Care to tell us what we get on a Knoppix CD for this specific scenario? I get all confused with all the Ks all over the place.
we could kill all obnoxious humans. We would both go if that were the case but so would many others.
Even if we can mass produce ethanol cheaply we'll still need to find ways to get rid of C02. Time to plant a tree.
