They sell a version of Wine. They are also company that will gladly take Google's money to do work on Wine. They are the same ones who helped make Google Maps and Picasa run on Linux.
I don't claim to know why you have a problem with webmasters (I am not one)
Probably for the same reason that many other people hate them. They announce themselves to people as being a "webmaster". It's a really stupid title. They don't preform wizardry. If I can't at least be a "codemaster", and maybe our plumber gets to be called a "pipemaster", then we'll continue to mock anyone who uses the word. Oooh, "plungemaster". I think he'd go for that.
It's too bad English requires titles to have initial-capital letters in almost every word. It leads to confusion.
In contrast to other languages which insist that inanimate objects should be classified as masculine or feminine, capitalizing names of things isn't very confusing at all.;)
my suggestion would have been: Whenever the user picks something under a menu that corresponds to something accessible from the toolbar, display a dialog box which says for example, "In the future, you can print faster by clicking the printer button on the toolbar", along with a picture (and a "Do not show this message again" checkbox -- important!).
That's right. The new and improved system wide Clippy.
Don't give them ideas. Some asshole will read this and go to work at Microsoft on Monday and people are going to talk about actually doing this. Clippy is a smug little bastard, and he should die.

I think you may have stumbled on to the cause of the recent mysterious net disruptions in the middle East. Wikipedia defense soldier 4297 reporting for duty.
Besides that that's a speech, he doesn't provide any real data to support his assertion.
I guess the sarcasm didn't come through when I said there was no problem.:)
It's a big fucking problem, and hopefully GWB will go down in history as a war monger and a destroyer of economies. Not like when people these days try to claim Regan was some kind of hero.
The budget that I will submit will keep America on track for a surplus in 2012. American families have to balance their budgets; so should their government
How you set a record deficit every year your in office then claim to be on track for a balanced budget, I'm not sure.
Anyone who cared could see the Fed was going to fuck every single American via inflation, and Ron Paul was the only one on the hill who gave a shit. Inflation is now at the highest it has been in more than three decades. Ron Paul tried to prevent it.
The Fed? Inflation is high because your dollar went to shit because of your deficit. If Ron Paul could have stopped the Iraq war he damn well should have.
Your national visa card is approaching 5 trillion dollars. That's the problem.
Oh great. A story on Microsoft attempting to influence Canadian parliamentary decisions and you fucks turn it into a discussion about U.S. political candidates. Damn you.

Nokia Buys Trolltech

· Score: 2, Informative
However, GTK+ is what Nokia is currently using on its N-Series tablets. I hope they stay that way.
I hope this exploit will help me unlock my AV700. I have regretted buying this thing for 2 years. Maybe some day I'll be able to do what I want with it I just hope it isn't (even more) obsolete by that time.
Does amarok or rhythmbox even minimuze as small as xmms? I can't find a screenshot of either not taking up most of the screen.
With Amarok, I use the notification applet most of the time. There isn't any reason to have it open and taking up most of the screen that I can see except when changing tunes. Then there's the player window or the minimized version of the player window
I'm not sure what you're looking for, but one of those has to be it.
It's important that we, as a community, reward the good guys (with more purchases) and to let the sales people know why we choose them over their competitors.
That's very hard to do when who the good guy is keeps changing every week. Sometimes it's Via, sometimes it's Intel, sometimes it's AMD. All of them making an effort to move in the open direction, but none of them with a truly spectacular offering.
ATI was once the darling of the open source community, then fell out of favour, and seems to be coming back again since the AMD ownership.
I don't replace my hardware as often as this stuff changes.

For some values of dismal maybe. In my experience, most things work out of the box these days.
They sell a version of Wine. They are also company that will gladly take Google's money to do work on Wine. They are the same ones who helped make Google Maps and Picasa run on Linux.
Perhaps you missed the point. It is to make proprietary software obsolete.
I'm just glad the Conservatives weren't in power when that missile defense idea of theirs came about.
Capital punishment comes to mind. They are the killing people while they complain about us downloading a few movies. It's lunacy.

Yeah, but they said they're on track for a balanced budget in 2012. So there's no problem.
Hahaha

Jack Daniels + Burger King. 12 to 24 hours you'll be worrying about how to make it stop running.
I suspect your "geek friends" are poseurs.
I think you're missing the point of being a redneck hick.
Hey maw, git off the dang roof!
There's at least one response on Planet Gentoo so far. Maybe it will help.
Meh.. The Buddha figured this stuff out 2500 years or so before The Matrix.

People still use XMMS? I thought most people moved on to Amarok/Rhythmbox years ago.
