  1. Re:It could be legitimate on Australian Senate Hears Open Source Is Too Expensive · · Score: 1

    You are using one set of logic for open source and another for Excel macro's/scripting. If someone wrote something the business relies on in Excel at that company they are going to have the source for it. They can pay someone to update it.

    I removed a higher power video card from it, the motherboard looks fine and Windows had no problems on it. (My guess is re-installing Ubuntu would have also worked.)

    The video card (an NV6800) overheated and died. I pulled it out and used the onboard (ATI smth or other). Computer boots, get video signal. Try to watch a video -> kernel panic. Random things would cause it to lock up as well.

    I've had Ubuntu break after updates and a failed video card. Superior is not the word I would use.

    Paint.Net comes to mind. The old Paintshop Pro was good for it. Real pixel artists often go for ProMotion. Here's a link: http://www.cosmigo.com/promotion/

    The iPhone is only capable of saving pictures in general. See an mp3 on a web page? Can't save it.

    I didn't even talk to them. I had a plan already and just bought a phone and changed out the sim. You can buy sim cards & plans without a phone.

    You can buy an N1 without a plan, which is what I did. It's not going to be as cheap as a low end iTouch tho.

    I read that the maker of the 3G chips HTC uses has a chip that can do both T-Mobile and AT&T networks. They just "released" it so it might take a while for a refresh of unlocked phones that can do either network.

    I believe MS has a free virtual machine available for testing IE6. There's absolutely no reason to need to keep a machine with valuable info so far behind any more.

    Flash has been shown running full speed on other devices. iPhone 3G/2G already have low battery life when playing games. If Apple doesn't open up, people are likely to notice that Apple products are missing functionality.

  19. Re:No flash support on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    That may be the case, but Adobe showed Flash 10 running full speed on other devices. Apple most likely wants to lock out Flash because it steals away from their revenue. Apple would no longer get a 30% + $100/yr take on selling them in the Apple App store.

    If you need to go back and comment out some lines or something then spaces will screw up and tabs will not.

    Don't forget that the AT&T data plans are not unlimited. They'd likely be seeping off your available data usage.
