Great! Nice can of worms you have opened. Now we will have a battalion of people suggesting you could do like everybody else and pirate a copy for free.
Yes, true, declared as such by the EU and USA. But before you take the high moral ground all for yourself, just remember 1915 and the Armenian Massacre. Can we go back to the original issue now? Or does that make it right to have someone imprisioned because they edited some category about the PKK? Because then i can only reach the conclusion that being let's say an historian in your country is against the law, or at least a very awkward job to have. Hmmm but then again, since the official line is to deny the Armenian Massacre ever took place, and historians can't touch the issue, i assume it really is.
Yeah, sure. The good ol' blame Bill Gates trick. I am sure it will help them a lot. What do they think EULA's are for? To improve their reading skills? Jeez, some people really do live in a bubble, eh.
You are missing the point. It makes it easy to convert from Microsoft SQL. Imagine thousands of independent software developers with an alternative to MSQL within easy reach. Their entire solution cost is now reduced, and they will sell better. At least the ones that take the chance.
I'm battling with the power issue myself on the matter of a server i want to build at home. Still, que question is: how much do you pay per year in the electricity bill for an old pc acting as a server? And is it better or worse than buying one of these NSLU2 boxes plus an USB2 external disk box? Assuming you already have the hardware lying around, something tells me that you need more than two years in electricity cost to pay for a NSLU2 plus disk box. And the NSLU2 has limitations that a diy server doesn't. You can leverage a diy server much better, think email, vpn, print or web server. You are right about the noise, though. That is a real problem.
The UN lets countries with non-representative governments to participate? You mean, to discuss things, and exchange points of view? What a bunch of bastards!! They should just look at the US foreign policy and start being more pro-active. Supporting non-representative governments with cash, weapons and military intelligence, and even a good old pat on the back after the ocasional (bones of the trade, trust me) crime against humanity its the way to go. Those damn UN sissies.
Sorry, but the British were not the first to abolish slavery, Sweden was, in 1335. Some American states did so starting at the year 1789, and Haiti did it in the year 1791. As far as i know, in the United Kingdom only in 1833 was slavery completely abolished.
No, they are just locking up american soldiers for one year each because military prisons are so much fun. They never proved anything after all. And those photos, oh please, just don't get me going on that, fake fake fake.
Now,honestly, don't open your eyes please, as it would be doing the rest of the world a favour, and you surely don't want that, do you?
Mate, according to the CIA World Factbook, Canada is "somewhat larger than the US". So, you have a neighbour country, you don't know it's size, say it is "probably" smaller than some random state in your country, and have the nerve to insult others in such a rash tone? I have to tell you this: american or not, you are a sorry excuse for a human being, and the world doesn't really need your kind. Well, maybe your mother does, but then again, what would be of some people without their moms?
So what? They could claim the world is flat, and sure there would be someone to believe them. Some would probably even declare wars based on that "fact". But i digress.
A noble effort indeed, but lost in vain nevertheless. Humans like to differentiate themselves from others. They create groups, teams, clubs, communities, and in general they avoid mixing. This starts in kindergarden actually, as i think most people recall. Also, people get bored easily. So, there will always be plenty of ****-nets around. No ammount of single net "visions" can change that. Actually this "vision" thing with corporations is making me go for my gun every time i hear it. Is it just me?
Sure they can survive in a world without information boundaries. Where they can't survive is in a world without buzzwords and marketing bs. "world without information boundaries" my ass.
We don't need fewer words, we are allright with long sentences, thanks. But you should be wary of all that anger raging inside you. I am not going to lie and say we care anything at all about you, but it does make you incompatible with most of the world, and the rest of the world incompatible with you. Isn't it sad?
Yes, back indeed, this is good news. And with yummy features like multi skin support, no one should miss it. Now, let me look at my desktop, is there something left that is not skinnable? Notepad maybe. Bubble gum skin for Notepad, any takers?;-)

Enterprise IM?
·
· Score: 1
"Windows clients lack the polished user interface"? That is the understatement of the year. No wonder in the silc website i didn't see obvious screenshots. It is a text console application, even in Windows. I installed the client and was amazed. Do tell me, this thread is about enterprise IM, what do you think it would be the look on 99% of users faces when you showed them this client?
Mate, i am all for text if it is faster and/or does the work better. I deploy Linux servers everywhere so i know the value of a text console. But users in a corporation have graphical interfaces, they use the mouse, they click, they want to see smilies and pictures. Stupid? Maybe, but this is how things are in an enterprise, and solutions are deployed for users sake, not for ours.
I just closed the Windows silc client i had run with a CTRL^C and after seeing the Terminate batch job (Y/N)? message, i checked to see if i was still in the century XXI. Weird eh?;-)
Having programmed some of these "beauties" in connection with a microcontroller, i must say they are shooting themselves in the foot. The first word that comes to my mouth is YUCK! I know all these 3Com and Intel network cards are more expensive, but they save time and money in the long run.
Well, copying and pasting is not a very good solution i believe. It is not perfect, and definitely not better than the OO import function. Also, the viewers sometimes also mess a few things. Considering all this, i think it is better to do it directly and just open the document with OO. Assuming the problem is mostly with formatting, at least with direct importing you have the document content entirely within OO, with no extra steps and more possibility for miscarriage. Life is already hard as it is. Why make it worse?:)

Yes, true! The smell is the same, though.
