Typing and reading is faster than speaking and listening. While speech input may be neat, it's impossible in an office or other place. Ald having the computer read to you has got to be a nuiscance.
oh, i didn't go that far. Most places can get a dropdown list right. Even hitting enter won't submit. That's kinda lame, and probobly real bad coding as well.
XFree, on the other hand isn't. Form what i've heard, XFree either needs to be replaced with something similar or have a managemant change. That's where everybody's complaints come from, the XFree team's reluctance to add patches.
Btw, if you think X is slow, don't use KDE or GNOME on old hardware. Or at least turn off all that eyecandy. As pretty as they are, they don't run good on anything but failry new computers. Try enlightenment. It has all the features of K/GNOME and a lot of eyecandy, but runs on older hardware fine. I thik idesk works with it as well for desktop icons.
Once the movie is available for sale on DVD, it's gonna be pirated anyway. i dont' see what's the big deal about screeners. I admit that i downlaod screeners for movies that don't have a DVD yet. But it it's a good movie i still buy the dvd. Remember, DVD movies are better than rips. This isn't music after all.
While it's not RPN, i'm gonna trow out a mention of the TI calcs. Great pieces of wequipment. The TI-89s are really powerful (use the same software as the top of the line 9x, but in a normal calc. form (as contrasted with th 9x's which have a qwerty keyboard and is really big.

When election time pass this around to the candite of your choice running against the reps that said this. I'm sure the opposition would be happy to have those quotes.
With 15k, i'd ge them powerbooks. the ibook is a great budget laptop, but 15k to spend means you don't have to buy anything budget. Plus, i would go for a better TV. Maybe even a projector if they don't mind paying for bulbs.
one missing thing is standardization accross OSS. When abiword (and koffice?) support oo files, then we might see more of this. Also, i personally can't think of a use offhand that oo.org can't already do. Once people begin to find uses for this, then more people will actually try to write scripts to take advantage of XML.

Before we see the Blue Shorts of Death?
Then abercrombie will start selling clothes that always show the bluescreen.
Also, when will my pants run linux?

uh, thefermentedgrape.com worked fine in firebird .6
1) my linux doesn't crash -- it's set up right. I just got done resinstalling win2k on a box i hardly use.
2) On a linux server(where uptime really matters), you don't need kde/gnome. On a win server, you can't diable exploror.
doesn't mplayer handle streams now? The box i'm at would die if i tried to rum mplayer, so i'll check if home. If not, thanks for the heads up.
I see a screen shot for bochs. Does that mean it's actually useful, or are they bundeling a broken project?
btw, i've been unimpressed with Be. I couldn't even get it to stop being monochrome.

Sounds fun. Am i gonna regres abandonig windows after all.

And you'll see a powered by google search spot. Amazon's gonna have a tough time gaing market share, imo.
So, in the case of speeding we have (at least here in Australia) these wonderful little boxes that get hidden on the side of the road.
I'm glad i live in a city (Atlanta) where if the gov tried this, we'd revolt.

Wrong. That's why we are allowed to have guns. Being armed is the best way to ensure you get your minority rights.
Or install linux
I installed it and it worked great. I sure didn't enounter any network prNO CARRIER.

$59.00 APEX cheapie
Hey, i have that dvd player. And i got it on sale for $53.95.
That's not nice to rats. And anyway, he's a little big to be a rat. Isn't he a ROUS?

Umm... how can they be proprietary if they're open source and built on linux
Becasuse they're in chinese, duh. Can you read Chinese? Didn't think so.
you forget that most prebuilt PCs use really shity parts in places that don't go on the little sticker thingy that comes on the front.
And you think Dell, IBM, HP, etc *don't* ?
HP and Dell go for the cheaper. IBM is better, so their machines tend to cost noticeably more.
