Get busy... submit some crap... and then this crappy search engine will return results for things like Linux, Windows, Netscape, Gimp, Photoshop, Vmware, Inkscape
From my perspective... they're great idea to create this super-huge database was spoiled by the fact they realized it would take forever to enter in all the data... Solution: post an article on/. asking for them to submit data
I like this better than the invasive alternatives... like sticking a fork in your ear, fish hook up the nose, or removing the top of your head (like Hannibal).
I remember working at Staples and buying Corel Linux Office Suite... but here's the catch.
It was on clearance for $5.00 and there was a kick-@ss Beanie Baby Tux inside the box! (PS... I never actually used the software... but I still have the Beanie Baby!)
As development lead on my team (small team of 3 developers)... I'm in charge of making those estimates... and so I've found there are several things it's based on... first of all how many developer's are they going to give us for the project... is this an enhancement to an existing database or are we starting from scratch? And which programming langauge / environment are we using? But beyond those... the most important thing in my mind is to BREAK IT DOWN... into smaller pieces before doing the estimate...
Example:
In a website / database that tracks worker's peformance, they want to redefine what it means to "make an error"... I break it down as far as I can go... like so...
Add new columns to Table 1
Add new columns to Table 2
Add new fields to C# Data Entry Web Page
Update Add / save / Delete Stored Procedures behind the C# Data Entry Web Page
Update Report 1 Stored Procedure
Update Report 2 stored procedure
Update Report 3 stored procedure
Once it's broken down... (perhaps even farther than this if you can)... provide a rough... high-end... ball-park estimate for each... like 1 hour for 1.), 1 hour for 2.), 1 day (8x1 = 8 hours) for 3.), 2 days (8x2 = 16 hours) for 4.), 1 day (8 hours) for 5.), 6.), and 7.) respectivity... sum it up... 1+1+8+16+8+8+8 = 50 hours... then add a day or 2 for comfort... and get something like 50+16 = 66 hours.
Remember... the further you break it down, the easier it is to estimate... Also remember that an overestimate is better than an underestimate... and also remember... just try to ballpark each piece's estimate... don't worry about being perfect, cause odds are for each piece you'll be off on your estimate... but when you add then all up you'll be pretty darn close.
So because OpenDocument can't help everyone, it shouldn't help anyone?
Not only are they disregarding disabled citizens, they've also forgotten about the Mexican Immigrants, Gays & Lesbians, Athiests, African Americans, and the French. Damn it... OpenDocument really isn't as open as I thought they were.
Microsoft Office has built-in help for people with disabilities, such as voice synthesizers, special screen readers and enlargers, Winske said. But he said OpenDocument-based products do not yet.
Keyword being yet... but when it does... it will be standardized... reusable... and in the long run more useful than the crap MSFT slapped together.
FTFA in your link he was watching pornography in a DVD player mounted on the dashboard of his Cadillac he was masturbating himself going down that street.
Dude... you're an NBA player making millions of dollars a year... buy a girlfriend!
You trust Microsoft Windows "Last Accessed Date" on files, right? I mean there's absolutely positivity without a doubt no way no how no possible method of changing that "Last Accessed Date".
The development model is totally screwed up... for 99% of the games created, they're just reinventing the wheel and adding some shiney rims or something... there is no way they need to charge more for video games than they already are... if anything, it should be getting cheaper.
What game nowadays can you play in 15 minute increments? Absolutely no sports games... RPG's usually take longer than that in between save points... what games were they thinking? Pacman & Frogger?

Get busy
From my perspective
Remember, this is /. so I don't think you have much of a chance.

Are we talking about the Motaba Virus?
PS3 is a computer not a gaming console, they have really screwed up, and this article is right, they could loose at lot of market share.

Legit question ... Just curious when and how did this backslash stuff begin? It appears it was timothy's creation?

Are you sure? My XP box likes to turn itself off at least once a week?

Dude
I think we should just take all those who talk on the cell phone & drive and put them on a mythbuster porta potty
Are you implying that wardriving from the driver's seat is unsafe?
Just like many people who have been drinking, the cell phone users did not believe themselves to be affected, the researchers found.
... I wasn't really talking on the phone ... I just hold it by my head to keep warm.
Honestly officer
Use your imagination with caution
I heard the government got it off eBay for $50 plus shipping ... free mouse pad included!

That would be very sad now if the guy who took the laptop home somehow still gets to keep is job.

He also says hackers can upload or download such things as child pornography.
