  1. Re:A Better review, quicker. on OpenOffice 2.0 vs. MS Office Review · · Score: 1

    You didn't mention Draw. I've been using it a lot the last couple of months to create diagrams. It takes a bit of time to figure it out and it has some bugs, but I'm really satisfied with the final results.
    The eps export is great for things like Indesign, the resulting pdf's are very clean and sharp.

  2. Uitzending gemist on BBC Views Content Piracy As Wake-Up Call · · Score: 3, Informative

    All content from Dutch public channels have been freely available for all at http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl/ (missed broadcast) since the last two years or so. Everything is available the day after the broadcast and news are bulletins even sooner available.

  3. Weather info is US only on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Lucky me, I've still got the ForecastFox plugin for Firefox, which gives me detailed information for a tiny village in The Netherlands.

  4. With the ability to encrypt the index on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    "Encrypt Google Desktop index and data files
    This will reduce the performance of Google Desktop"

    But no sign of a way to password protect the search. So if you're logged on anybody can still use it to easily find your hidden porn...

  5. 7920 wireless phones in one office? on Cisco Going Mobile, Acquiring Nokia? · · Score: 1

    oh uhm, right... never mind

    It reminds me more of a Siemens from the late nineties.

  6. Re:From the article: on An Inside Look at eBay Security · · Score: 1

    You can tell from the way the icons are arranged and their colours. Zoom in a little on http://www.zdnet.com.au/shared/images/insight/virt ual/day1.jpg

  7. Re:From the article: on An Inside Look at eBay Security · · Score: 1

    I'd say the Internet Explorer window on his Dell in the picture on page 2 says enough

    Open Source is a registered trademark of the Open Source Initiative. You cannot call something open source if it does not meet the requirements of the definition

  9. Hey! on The Onion in 2056 · · Score: 0

    I was reading that!

  10. Re:Can Microsoft even legally sell Windows in Cuba on Cuba Switching to Linux · · Score: 1, Informative

    Coca Cola in Cuba is imported from Mexico

  11. Internet in China Rocks on Real-Time Testing of China's Internet Filters · · Score: 0

    I just got back from China. I've stayed three weeks in a hotel in shanghai with unlimited internet access in the room. The only website that was blocked (not in the dns) was www.cnn.com. europe.cnn.com and asia.cnn.com worked just fine. The speed was incredible.
    The next three weeks I travelled around the country (Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, Beijing and more). At most of the internet bars I could watch the dutch news full screen at very high quaulity, something I'm not able to do with my cable modem at home. The highest download speed I got was 450 Kbytes/sec. (from messenger.microsoft.com of all places)
    At some places they do have filters, I was reading a newspaper online that had an article about porn, that article was blocked.
    The places I mentioned were public internet bars cramped with Chinese people. Most of them were playing online games though...

    So, if you can live without online porn, internet in china is just fine.

  12. Re:Bug: International Herald Tribune on mozilla.org Releases Mozilla 0.9.8 · · Score: 0

    It used to work fine. After a while the 'clippings' stopped working (complained about cookies) and lately it's crashing....

  13. This has done before by Microsoft on BT To Enforce Patent On Hyperlinking? · · Score: 1
    I remember that Microsoft bought a company that had a patent on, I believe, a system to retrieve pages with a client. Netscape then asked people to write in about pieces of prior art they knew of.

    I know this is all a little vague, sorry, my memory isn't what it used to be...

  14. Re:Not surprised at this on Microsoft Plans Media Player for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm missing something but I'm pretty sure you can download a linux client at the real web site. For the server part: We've got a real server up and running on a linux box.
    The real.com webserver runs on linux and it identifies itself as: www.real.com is running Thisisarealoperatingsystemfromthefreeworld1.2alpha 12 on Linux according to Netcraft.

    I think they like the penguin.
