why am I better of that I can buy a bag of apples at a 2% discount? why am I better of that I can buy this bag of apples 10% quicker then 5 years ago?
why?
perhaps I would be better of this bag of apples was grown in Ontario and shipped to me a few hundred mile, rather then the few thousand it probably was.
the ability to Consume more does not make the world a better place.
1. Pivot Tables in Excel are easier to use then OO.org data Pilot. 2. Excel has a Text to Column Feature, I have never found in OO.org 4. OO.org is dog slow Linux, faster on windows. but still slower then Excel.
note 90% of the time I need a Spread sheet I'm in Linux and use OO.org any way. but still, it would be nice to have these features
wouldn't it be Great if an Infrastructure based industry like Telecom, Roads, Internet. worked the same as a commodity based industry like, pc's, or cloths.
I know lets pretend the economics of one apply blindly to the other...
if your system of Maximizing J&H by relating increasing freedom, can be statisitically shown to be valid. I would be happy to implement you system. just as soon as I become supreme dictator of a group of humans. I will be happy to let them do as they wish, assuming of course your system can be proven valid.

but what I would like to See is something that combines Travel Planners with Diffrent Cities, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, New York...etc
with a Travel Planner for various Out of City Travel Methods Grey Hound, Via Rail, Air Canada...
With Options like Optimize for Price or Speed.
so it would tell me something like 1. Take Ottawa's #2 to downtown (15min) 2. Take Grey hounds bus to Toronto (6hours) 3. Take Toronto's Subway to YorkMills Station...etc....
This problem has been solved already. The worst part of a project that would do this is integrating the Price/Time DB from all the diffrent sources. you need to make sure the source keeps there system upto date, and notifies you of changes.
hell if you put a little bit more effort in and a form for a credit card. you could book the "Grey Hound"/"Via Rail"/"Air Canada" Ticket ahead of time. and charge a $1 convenience Fee, for the booking
and google is just the person with the muscle to do this sort of thing. either force all the Transit providers to the same Web based API, or force them to register what there API looks like, so you can write a translator.
so...win 95 was more stable then win XP? Gnome 0.1 (98 ish) was more stable then 2.12? Web pages worked better in Netscape 1.2 then they do in Firefox 1.1?
The Standard File sytem back then was like Fat32. dude NTFS, ext3, RieserFS are all much better then what was avalible.
I think you really need to go back an look at the Apps you were using in 95 dude. before, posting flame bait like this.
er...most spyware comes not from poor OS design but from user issues. user clicks OK! and then its all over with, its that simple. you don't have to login as Admin every day, blame Dell, HP, IBM, or your work IT guy for that. you don't have to install that program to give you Smilies in your OE. you don't have to turn on ActiveX controls...
there is a lot of things you don't have to do. most people don't understand, not do do them. its like letting people drive before explaining to them not to step on the gas and the break at the same time.
it never really worked the way you wanted it. it was just larger buttons in space there was no access to some fine grain axis, turning left in a race game was the same as movine the had to the left or pushing left on the controller. boxing was the same you had the basic moves you could do, it was just a diffrent interface.
this is going to be a lot like mouse gestures in a browser, or "black and white" the game. a few basic actions the computer recognise, only a diffrent input device.
er....I RTFA and I thought it was strange. as I don't have a mobile, and I am a real person. could they not just setup some jpg verification system/IP logger like everybody else. then luddites like me would be able to use this new fangled email thing

er...what is the big threat?
in my opinion the bigest threat to the USA is lack of oil.
followed by lack of actual democracy.
The entire point in government originally was that it was free individuals working together to accomplish something.
Wild man...here I thought the first government was an attempt to control the citizens. while gaining power and wealth for the one(s) in charge.
you learn something new everyday.

People are certainly safer and richer.
I think what you want to say is SOME people are safer and richer, you and me are probably in this group, you and me do not make 6 Billion people.

Did you know that the UN revised its world population estimates downward because of Aids.

wouldn't it be Great if an Infrastructure based industry like Telecom, Roads, Internet.

I would argue that "Joy|Happiness" and "knowledge|Wisdom" are the only 2 ends unto themselves.
and Freedom sometimes causes "Joy|Happiness".
and that without joy freedom is a distraction.
but hey what do I know...
Ottawa ... Ontario ... Canada ...
has a transit planner.
http://www.octranspo.com/tps/jnot/startEN.oci
most cities do now.
but what I would like to See is something that combines
Travel Planners with Diffrent Cities, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, New York...etc

Problem:
it only puts emails from the current Folder int the thread hierarchy.
Is there to get it to display a merged hierarchy of both my "In box" and my "Sent" folder?
maybe some kind of virtual folder, or something?
what Law & Order they did the same thing with D&D....
devil WORSHIPing game my mom always thought it was...:)
and that show did not help matters...
sigh...

p.s. you sir are a WANKER!
er...most spyware comes not from poor OS design but from user issues.
user clicks OK!
and then its all over with, its that simple.
you don't have to login as Admin every day, blame Dell, HP, IBM, or your work IT guy for that.
you don't have to install that program to give you Smilies in your OE.
you don't have to turn on ActiveX controls...
there is a lot of things you don't have to do.
most people don't understand, not do do them.
its like letting people drive before explaining to them not to step on the gas and the break at the same time.
Ya everybody knows the answer.
but my answer is diffrent then yours.
by the Cheepest CPU you can find that will actually do the work you want.
in my Case AMD 1100 now 4 years old and still strong
obviously one step is not valid
Will the communication, on multi player games be designed so that
1. 3rd party clients, can play games against CIV 4 clients?
2. will CIV 4 Clients be able to connect to 3rd Party servers to play multiplayer games?
ahh...interesting what makes wise spending of money?
in what way would a wise person would spend money?
what criteria do they use in its alocation?
when the power glove came out I had one.
it never really worked the way you wanted it.
it was just larger buttons in space there was no access to some fine grain axis, turning left in a race game was the same as movine the had to the left or pushing left on the controller. boxing was the same you had the basic moves you could do, it was just a diffrent interface.

a few basic actions the computer recognise, only a diffrent input device.
er..yah...I am one that totally does not get it.
and I say WTF were they thinking.
I already have one
I never use it
the don't provide pine access..:)
er....I RTFA and I thought it was strange.
as I don't have a mobile, and I am a real person.
could they not just setup some jpg verification system/IP logger like everybody else.

odd, so your conversion was all at once?
my conversion started in 96, with my first intro to linux and my first Attempt to instal. my network, and sound didn't work so it didn't last long.
and in Uni I tryed a few more times but space limitation of 2 OS's an Network Games of DUKE, Red Allert always brought me back to MS
when I graduated in 2001 I went to Linux again and everything was so Easy, Sound, video, internet...thats all I use at home now.
I do still have an XP box at work. but thats not my choise.
I always figured most everybody came into gradually, otherwise its a lot of a shock
