I used mail-merge for my wedding invitations. It worked fine, *BUT*, was absolutely hellishly slow on a P-IV 2.6HT with 512Meg RAM. I usually have not much problems with OpenOffice performances on that machine, but mail-merge is horrible.
So is Base. I manage to use it for small databases and creating reports (my wife is a kindergarden teacher and she needs different lists -views- from a certain dataset). It works, but it's a real pain. If I had the time, I'd just design a real database. Of course, I don't have the time, so Base will have to do.
Yes, to the side you should see a box containing something like "40 Comments" as a title. Then you have white area, that with the text "nn Full" with a white background, then a white slider which you can use to adjust the amount of full comments, then a grey area, with the text "nn Abbreviated" followed by a slider (again to adjust the visible posts) and finally a dark-grey area containing "nn Hidden".
That said, this box only appears when you scroll to the end of the story... (Not the comments, obviously)
Below that, you'll find three links: "More", "Prefs" and "Reply".

Oh, I did get it... I pretty much guessed that AOL was sloppy. That's not it, I tried to be funny by insinuating that I've never been touched by the AOL appendage. Which is true. They never were very popular at my side of the pond.
It may be a slashdot myth, but what you say isn't true either and the article makes that clear. I am by law entitled to make one (1) backup copy of a DVD or a CD. Guess which I cannot do? At least the DVD one is impossible legally in the US, but allowed by Copyright. Since I do not live in the US, it might be legal for me *but* living in Europe, pretty much all CDs aren't red-book standard anymore. Ripping is actively combated.
So, AFAIK, I have the right to make one (1) backup. On tape, on MiniDisc, as MP3 or heck, if I'm inclined to do so write down a series of zeros and ones on a large piece of paper. The article says that if I do this, I'm "stealing".
What about medium shifting? I thought that was legal too. My Red Hot Chili peppers CD is at home, used by no-one and I listen to it right now as MP3 on my work computer. Sounds legal right?
How about listening to the same Red Hot Chili Peppers CD in my living room while my wife is in the room? She didn't buy the CD, she doesn't have the right to listen to that music? Should I wear earphones? (Besides the fact that my wife will ask me to turn of the music anyway *grin*)
I had a Flex 2 training last year (paid for by my company) and it was quite fun and nifty. That's pretty much how the trainer introduced Flex to us. I've got a pretty associative memory, and if someone mentions Flex, this definition pops up.
The IDE Plugin costs a fuckload amount of money though.
Look at Flex as a way for programmers to make Flash applications. The Flash Animator thing (or whatever it was called) is good for Designers and Animators, but hard to work in if you're a traditional programmer.
As such this is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE to maek Flash applications.
I don't disagree.... However, you're talking consoles and technically they're not computers in the accepted term of the word. I don't even do PC gaming anymore. For me, a computer must still be fully programmable to the end user. What you list, are appliances. Sure, real computers might disappear in the future, but not for us CS guys....
However, it does seem to make it easier to pirate - instead of installing the whole Office package and somehow cracking the CD-key issue, you could just do a quick copy-over of the applicable registry entries.
And you think that's going to be easy? Fuck, have you seen what Office dumps into your registry. If I didn't knew that it's an Office Suite, I'd think it's a Operating Service pack in the likes of XP SP2....
That's cool... However, if you look at the circumstances how you learned it, it was most probably the math teacher that had a melancholic moment when he found them. After all, you got them as a souvenir. Noone after you was going to learn how to use the slide rule. As a matter of fact, you wouldn't have if he hadn't found them.
I vaguely remember my maths teacher mentioning them and taking one with him when logarithms were on the programme. Not sure, so much of my memory from back then faded.
It was still taught at school (University?) in the day and age of my parents. Not anymore in my day and age (I was born in 1976, use your slide rule to calculate my age;-) ). Both my mom and dad still have theirs.
Slashdot Mirror
Backend differs. I did it with a Base backend, which really would explain the sluggishness.

Have you ever considered using a database... Right tool for the job, etc, you know...

Underclocking people!
Ever been a teacher? That's pretty much what schoolkids do during class ;-)
AMD makes brains now? ;-)
It's a joke laugh...
Sorry, I must have forgotten that I'm a Troll... Won't happen again, promised!
In Soviet Russia, Trolls help YOU!
Hmmmm, that didn't turn out how I intended. ;-)

performing it publicly
That's probably very debatable when you ask the RIAA. ;-) More than one person = public performance.

At least the Mafia has an implicit code of honour ;-))
.... I didn't even bought a license as you claimed before. I bought nothing at all. So what exactly did I buy from you?

I've never been exposed to AOL.

Bottom line: first non-Windows OS with decent, supported, modern gaming and I'm off to the races.
Let me correct that:
Bottom line: first non-Windows OS that doesn't suck with decent, supported, modern gaming and I'm off to the races.
I mean, if it's not windows, rocks at gaming but sucks for everything else, it isn't going to gain mainstream either.
Damnit, that even makes sense.... Couldn't they use BigDecimals, no? ;-)
Damn, have I been wasting my time that long? ;-) Any parties going up in Europe?

This summarizes it

I've got a Fujitsu-Siemens myself... Gonna check when I'm home....
