All these, use Linux on workplace, is that you people are just plain lucky.
Linux, may have matured in the last few years quite much, yet the support for foreign language is by far behind compared to what Windows have been offering over a decade. That is to say, some of the core system is well ready for international support, but not every software author cares well into it, that it certainly does mess up with multi-byte string and whatnot when using our own language.
Also, there's plenty of application people use daily at workplace when there is not a decent alternative to that on Linux.
Being free as in price and usage is great. But I think doing so will certainly jeopartize what people can do at work. So, Linux on workplace only goes to lucky people who don't need much international support and needs only the popular softwares that have matured enough for all the people.
And I just hope Linux starts fixing these rough edges, so many many more people in the world starts considering the use of Linux, because right now, it just feels clumsy to use for a daily machine, just maybe not so for people who only use ascii alphabets.
oh... well I have been using the AJAX technique like from 3 to 4 years back before there was a AJAX word on the internet. And this sounds like MS invented the whole JavaScript. A JavaScript simply makes it AJAX, if you know how things work.
NAT is for difference use than just handling private IP because you can't afford a global one. Like unless you stop every incoming traffic toward behind the router, machines behind are exposed to the public, and easy maintenance for firewall to manage the source IP if it's a private IP, and maybe some more.
That is one good idea in my opinion. The problem is every article is in beta quality that even someone does have a fact written, the page has to be continuously been watched so it stays true.
On top of that, why don't they allow multiple entries on a same subject? In some cases, no one knows what actually happened on a subject or the subject is in term of no perfect definition. Reading from multitude of angles isn't a bad practice, just like reading different newspapers. And would stop all the conflict on editing the same subject by one side and the other...
I feel there's the fact the US land is way bigger than in say Japan, South Korea. Thus rolling out fibres and cables look cheaper to do so in these locations.
But having massive number of computer users in the US, I hope they get to a better state with the broadband soon.
Having 100mbit/s in home gives alot of advantage deploying cheap dedicated server for any kind of use, be it entertainment, education, business.
Could start having softwares causing throughput issues to get resolved quicker too;)
Abiword has been, for years being lacking the internationalization functions. Otherwise, clean UI and cross platform is a very nice touch.
But whatever platform I try to test, typing Japanese simply is a mess on Abiword. It's just not consistent with other Japanese input type programs and it acts weird when converting hiragana...
When they fix it, I can make it recommend for a very decent word processor to people around me.
All these Open Source buzz words flying with many quality open source programs out there, I'm sorry to hear some developers have chosen the wrong license for their own creations.
Developers should know the consequence of the license they choose, and choose what they want in the first place. Software doesn't have to be open source, though it does help in a way.
Everytime this kinda **Mb service is available news, I don't understand why it's important worldwide... The article didn't even mention where this is all about except telling the currency.
Parts of Asia has 100Mb at $30-$60 a month for some time now.
Right off the topic, but who knows if the OS X won't cover the profit of hardware? By looking at the number of x86 machines out there, the OS X market just goes beyond what they can think of compared to now.
There are people who does PearPC, tries to run recent OS X on x86 box... Apple knows the market is so big, but I guess they have their own reason for not wanting to do that.
AJAX - "Wow, great name given to what people have been trying to accomplish with what has been the limitation of web. Now let's make some decent web apps."
This technology shouldn't just get tossed to either, 'wow cool buzzword' boys and 'yeah yeah, nothing new' guys but it quite has good potential, yet people still don't seem to realize too deeply.
People who realized this technology with the buzzword only won't maybe realize it...
> think the OS is a piece of software well worth paying for
It's not how 'you' think when you get their products. If you use, you pay. You have legal version, that is utterly natural, you haven't done anything great about paying it. If you don't want to pay for it, you don't use it.
Do you just run out of restaurant because 'you' felt it wasn't good enough? No, you won't because people are watching, and you think you can get away with it online since less eyes are on for piracy?
I'm just saying from my head's information but isn't it like Blu-ray is rather getting more attraction than HD-DVD lately? As I read news who takes which format, it looks Blu-ray is taking more gain, but I don't have the exact number so I could be wrong.
And I just think the losing side is sticking and won't give the hell up... Doesn't sound like things are moving for the citizens.
This is rather off topic but your statement against pc being affordable by majority of people is utterly wrong. I think it's right if you're only considering first world countries... but not so for the rest of the world. Maybe a little read about China's situation give some clue on it, which holds 1/5 of the whole earth population.
I just add a bit on that list from top of my head. Although I think the listed app goes beyond what the so called 'average pc user' wants, but there goes...
6. There are plenty way to do this, but the typical ones could be 'Jinzora' ( http://www.jinzora.org/ ) and 'MusicPD' ( http://www.mpd.org/ ), even plain Apache does it fine too, in a way.
8. If you want easier to manage iptables wrapper, Shorewall ( http://www.shorewall.net/ ) and there are other wrappers too.

What's so crazy about 'JavaScript + XML + HTML + DHTML + CSS '?
It's just standard web pages.
And btw JavaScript + HTML -> DHTML.
Though it's rather harder to make AJAX pages because client side needs updating with client script not from the returned page from server.
> Microsoft basically invented AJAX

Definately a plus... since every IPv6 aware device can act as VPN endpoints... what a breeze.

Abiword has been, for years being lacking the internationalization functions.

I agree.
All these Open Source buzz words flying with many quality open source programs out there, I'm sorry to hear some developers have chosen the wrong license for their own creations.
Developers should know the consequence of the license they choose, and choose what they want in the first place. Software doesn't have to be open source, though it does help in a way.
Your comment is very rude to the developer.
Just because a product is no longer GPL, is it dead?
I assume you call many other programs more than dead, which I have no idea what your idea is.
I think these should be read in local newspapers etc.
I'm Asian.

Well, what do you think accessibility is for?
The 'many folks' seem to be fine in reading and typing with what their body is capable of with current web pages...
And you don't hear the minority number of people crying for help, so we do it actively. That's about it.
Right off the topic, but who knows if the OS X won't cover the profit of hardware?

It just sounds like ajax -> google web apps...
Come on... where's our sourceforge cool web ajaxs?
Third camp.

I'm picky but the word 'best' never applies to everyone, so better have a better title next time.
Possibly inevitable, but start making it sound like the legality has thrown up in the trash can isn't the best way to mention about it.
Besides saying 'most fans will' doesn't really give a sympathy to the developers much.
> think the OS is a piece of software well worth paying for

And no I'm not taking any part in MS business...
Sounding like usa control the ineternet?
Well, you understand what happens if you do that in the business world.

And of course, OpenCD ( http://www.theopencd.org/ ) makes it a good compilation of open source softwares too.
