Sun just stopped x86 development of solaris, which means the only OS on PC's they like is now Linux. Scince there isn't a sparc version of Staroffice, Linux and Solaris are the only platforms where Sun will profit.
Windows users on the other hand should be using Linux, and mabye they would if star office is only free with it.
but the KT333 won all but 2 tests, and wasn't behind significantly at all on them. I wonder if KT333 will perform better when 333mhz bus athlons come around?
This is about Slashdot, not about gnome. Every time KDE has a story, the moderation is equally lopsided. But this really isn't too bad, because these products are both good, and shouldn't have people saying BOO to their releases.
Slashdot has it's downs, but there aren't any nerd sites better that are of near size.
FYI, X windows never resembled windows 3.x in ui and functionality. Windows XP is just starting to come up with a few of the features of X windows, and they're doing it wrong.
The sound quality of WMA is way lower, and WMA isn't compressed as much, so the file size of the OGG is smaller. A size closer to WMA would be MP3, and MP3's take less time than wma's.
Your comments on global warming being false are correct. But your conclusion is just as dumb as the whole Global Warming scam. Old growth forests actually use up oxygen as the trees decay, and ferment. Younger trees are just better for oxygen out-put. Maybe we should put that money into something useful.
Broadband companies won't go to a city unless another one has, so it ends up with a whole bunch of providers in single cities, while us in the less (or sometimes more) populated areas, don't get anything.
Sure, I could shell out $70/month for starband, but it's slow ping, and the transfer rate isn't as good as isdn on an uplink.
Joe Inventor of lameness Inc, invented a wheel with nubs for better traction. Of course this used proprietary technology, so under the DMCA nobody is allowed to make wheels that work on nub-compliant roads.
I hope this is a joke, because wating until version 3 is only done by microsoft. A product should be pretty usable by 0.5 or 0.6.
Duh, I'm not laughing.

that's zone.com like I said in my post. Maybe you should have read my post. I felt like making a joke but couldn't think of anything funny about.net, because it might actually succeed in the enterprise, but only if they're all lunatics.
.NET is stupid.

Those crazy folks at microsoft keep messing things up! ".net" has just made zone.com inconvenient (the only ms service I use), and all the other msn stuff is worse..NET has launched, but it hasn't proven any advantage.
It's not just that I'm a MS hater, the other Zone users don't like.net either, make your customers happy and don't use it.
I'm not going to go into much detail, but Harry potter is a very evil series. It descibes witchcraft, and they're giving this stuff to kindergartners. Maybe you should think about why Rowling doesn't let her own 8 y/o daughter read them.
how Linux is SOO behind the times, because windows had directx 8 almost a year ago.

of course by this time, the whole thing will be a flamewar back and forth, and this post will be part of it.
This is offtopic, and untrue.

No, we aren't on a subject that has anything remotely to do with GUI's.
We are talking windows 3.0 quality here.
It's just not true. Windows 3.0 was more of a window manager than a gui, and it was the first version of windows that actually worked. KDE has been rated more simple than windows xp, and gnome is a lot nicer.
It has to happen.

Well, you still have that choice. I don't get anything. If I wanted broadband I'd have to go with starband for $70/month, which is too expencive, to slow pings, and microsoft (in order of importance).
I personally don't like the idea of people sniffing an internet connection, but I do see a difference between a phone.
Your phone company is not chosen by you, the only way you can change phone companies is to move. However with a broadband internet connection, it's different.
Most places who get one broadband provider get several, I think they call it defence(i.e. don't let your competition expand in one area while you expand in another area). Therefore you have a choice to use it or not.
They're not taking sales away from adobe, they're just marketing it for them. Adobe wouldn't sell a bundle for a loss, they sell bundles because they can make money that way.
If I sell you a 50 potatos for $20, and you sell them for $1 each, even though I sell them for $1.50 individually, I should be happy for the sales anyway.
I just wish more people would consider how much money is lost in all the licensing confusion of software. Maybe people would be more open to open source.
Obviously you didn't READ your XP EULA, and you're just a troll. Microsoft EULA's are rediculous, just for curiosity I read the win95 eula, and it was UGLY. Stuff about danger to your health, death because of airplane wrecks etc.
Maybe if you bought the cd, turned it on and found out it was a peice of junk you'd return it. With rediculous labels on music it's not unlikely, such as "Classical" including 80's rap and 90's rock.
This is a funny comment, and it's insightful, we already paid for the software, (or downloaded it), and could care less what lama speak is in the eula.
Slashdot Mirror
Can't we stop posting the book reviews on slashdot so we can get to read the dumb comments quicker? We don't post other stuff, why book reviews?

Actually mine was moderated off-topic just like yours. With -3 I got karma to burn though ;-)
You aren't fooling anyone, so just bug off.

Apple based OS X on Mach os (kernel mostly), and FreeBSD. FreeBSD goes back to bsd 4.4, not NetBSD.
All that and I don't use any of those...
