Looks pretty good. But are speedtouch modems supported automagically? I know several people that want to switch to Linux, but this is holding them back.
That's what so incredibly funny about Microsoft. They claim to be innovators, yet they had DOS for all those years - bought off the shelf, mind, not actually created by MS - and they could have done soooo much with it! They could have made it multi user, multitasking, etc. made it into a real OS.
It's always so funny going back to a DOS prompt after using a *NIX shell for a while. DOS just seems so crippled, limited and inflexible, LMAO!
Personally, Can't say I give a toss, really. My association with MS ended with Win 2000, which I'm still using, occasionally. Aside from all the viruses, worms security problems and so on, their products are simply boring and uninteresting. At home, I'm letting Win2000 wither on the vine, while Linux gradually takes over for me....
Of course buying a house is an investment. What happens when you retire, huh? If you get a 25 year mortgage, it'll be paid off by then, and you live rent free. You can sell the house, often for more than you bought it, buy a cheaper place and have a nice fat bank balance. If you rent all your life, you still have to pay rent, so you're on a small pension, with regular bills plus this never ending rent....that's just dumb. Plus there's no security. The landlord can sell his (your?) place to someone else who may want to move in, leaving you out of a place to live.
Can't you just remap the keyboard shortcut? Or create a new shortcut? I haven't used WP in some time, but I know you can do that in MS Word - For example, I created a new superscript shortcut with ctrl + and subscript shortcut with ctrl -
Yeah, just change the access permissions on your Linux mp3 directory to "read only" Then when you have a bunch of freshly ripped mp3's from that CD you bought that you want to add, just change the permissions to allow writing, then change back to read only... Much faster and convenient than burning a new CD every time.:)
100% of the spam I get comes from America - Maybe over there they should simply legislate against the sending of unsolicited commercial emails, like they have here in Europe.
Then people who get this nonsense in their inboxes can get together and take the companies who use spammers (and the spammers themselves) to market their junk to court. Once the companies who use this service start getting served with class action court orders to stop or else, they should soon get the message.
Of course, there's nothing to stop the spammers moving/subcontracting to e.g. India or some other place where sending unsolicited emails isn't illegal, but it's a start. Ultimately we can hopefully have a worldwide ban against the sending of unsolicited commercial emails.
Photoshop the best tool available? Not really. that's a matter of opinion. I got a chance to play with it, and to be honest, Micrographics Picture Publisher is just as good - at a fraction of the price. I cannot understand why people want to fork out so much for an average graphics program when there are many other suitable and reasonably priced alternatives out there that do not have product activation and this money counterfeiting nonsense.
Don't foget that Netscape has a popup blocker too. It also uses less memory than Mozilla - about 20Mb less memory, as I found out one day. Been back to Netscape ever since.
I don't use trains anymore. Especially not after VIRGIN TRAINS tried to rip me off 125 pounds (~$270) for a return journey from London to Wales. Heck, you can have a weeks holiday (Flight + accomodation) to Spain for that price.
And if you do risk it, there's the usual conductor/driver strike faulty track etc. etc.
There'as a train station near my house. But i get the bus instead. Or, I'll drive. It's about time people in the UK said enough is enough and started a mass boycott of all trains until they are brought back under a single company. Having 50 odd different rail companies is a total farce. Thank you, Conservative Tory Government.
Fuck the train companies, They aren't getting any more of my money.
This is precisely the reason why I will NEVER install Windows Ex Pee - I'll be staying with Win2000, SP 2, let it wither on the vine, and eventually have everything on Linux. And now Partition Magic have this Product Activation nonsense too? I bought version 5 and 6, but if they're going down that road as well, I won't be buying any more of their stuff.
These tablets just seem like glorified PDA's to me. I've never actually seen anyone using one of these breadboards. Personally,I'd much rather get a laptop.
True. There are some genuinely, really side-splittingly hilarious comments on this forum - which just make me smile for the whole day...this why I continue to read slashdot! Perhaps I should browse at +1 in the future!:)
No, he/she was just being a real jackass. Shame you can't have a semi sensible chat on/. these days without those immature and childish comments by peeps who think they are trying to be funny creeping in.
Oh well, back to the real world.
I've got KDE 3.1 with SuSE 8.2 and I'm seriously impressed with it. It's the best version yet! Cheers people! You've got a great product, keep it going...:)
Well, you're obviously too thick to do the sums, but please let me help you out here matey:)
Let me see, that's $699 DIVIDED by the EXCHANGE RATE, which is about $1.63 to ONE UK pound, that would be about 428 quid
Have you got that? Good.
Once more now: 699 / 1.63 = 428
Always willing to help the more mathematically challenged among us. Now go home and be a good little boy.:)
(Prices from amazon.co.uk, in pounds sterling, where 1 pound ~ US$1.63)
Microsoft Ex Pee Home Edition (Upgrade): 84.49 quid
Microsoft Ex Pee Home edition (Full): 163.30 quid
Microsoft Ex Pee Professional Edition (Upgrade): 168.99 quid
Microsoft Ex Pee Professional Edition (Full): 251.99 quid
Microsoft Ex Pee Office (Standard): 333.99 quid
Microsoft Ex Pee Office (Professional): 397.99 quid
A boxed version of SuSE Linux costs about 60 quid for the PRO version, and about 30 quid for the home version. Of course, you can get it for free, same for OpenOffice.
As a home user, I cringe to think what companies (and governments, with taxpayers money) are paying out in license fees for MS software.
This is more of an X issue, But I would like better plug and play type stuff for monitors - you plug in a new monitor, boot up and the vertical and horizontal synch ranges get configured automagically. No need to go to run level three, plug in new monitor, and configure... It can be done, as Windows shows...
When I was in the states a few years back, I had to make an out of state telephone call from a public payphone - that experience was bordering on the farcical, because all I had was some 25 cent pieces. So i had to run around to the shops and change $1 and $5 into quarters, stacke em up then constantly thow them into the payphone!! Stopping to take down a number was a laugh!
- No the payphones didn't take prepaid cards either...
(Actually I had a similar experience in Canada too!)
Having a $1 and $2 coins are SO much easier and convenient. And coins last a heck of a lot longer, so it actually saves the taxpayer a lot of money, because the government doesn't have to keep printing new $1 and $2 bills every other year - this was why Canada switched to coins, I believe.
Every one else uses coins it's just common sense:)
Oh, as for the change purse thing - The Chinese drilled holes in the centres of their coins so they could hang them on a piece of string...
I tried the version of Xine that came with my SuSE 7.3 distro. it was crap - It completely locked up the computer, and I had to literally pull the plug out of the PSU to turn it off! (no i don't have it on a network, so i could not rlogin & kill the process) All that I can think of is that there's a severe clash with the video card - Diamond Stealth IIIS540 (savage chipset)
There's no way I'll try Xine ever again if that's the result!! Then again, perhaps this chipset is supported now...

As concrete sets though, it takes in CO2 from the atmosphere, largely negating the amounts generated when concrete is first produced.
In my book, Product Activation = no sale
