  1. Re:Its a start.. on NeoOffice/J 1.1 Finally In Beta · · Score: 1

    right then... quote only half of my sentence to have a reason to call me dickhead.

    I never said it was it was bad, I criticized the UI and ONLY the UI (yeah yeah, I know they are working on it!). All I commented was what I saw, and honestly, It aint't pretty. OO.org which this is based on is great except the UI, all versions, all platforms.

    So what if OfficeX costs $300, It's my freaking money, if a product in my opinion is worth that I'll pay it, OSS/Free? Sure, just donate a to the project. (Do you think those hard working coders make a living out of peace, love and code??).

    And cheer up a litle, maybe santa reads /.?

  2. Its a start.. on NeoOffice/J 1.1 Finally In Beta · · Score: 2, Informative

    Great start (and work) but, as a mac user, it still looks like shit compared to OfficeX or any other native OS X application. Hint: Use native wiggets.

  3. Re:Why I still use Mozilla... on Mozilla 1.7.5 Released · · Score: 1

    FF is more is snappier, but it does not handle certificates to my online bank, so I'm "stuck" with Mozilla, and are quite happy with it.

  5. Hah! on GIF Slips Away From Unisys; Your Move, IBM · · Score: 1

    So how about it, IBM? You've got nothing to lose! Want to make a lot of geeks happy and release that final patent into the public domain?

    Lets count how many gif's there is in SCO's site? .... time to cash in, in their own game!

  6. Re:Some more good reasons. on Linux for Non-Geeks · · Score: 1

    Modern mail clients. Kontact, Kmail, Evolution, Balsa even. Kontact rocks for syncs to my handheld computer. What do you get with Windoze, a mail client that lacks a spell checker?

    Sorry, but Outlook 2k3 is probarly one of the best mail clients around. Nothing I've used (Yes, tried all the above) even comes close, except maybe Mail.app on OSX combined with AdressBok and iCal as a good second place.

  11. Re:yet more bloat on Mozilla 1.8 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    One of the perennial criticisms of MS software is the bloat. Is bloatware some how ok if it's open source? Of course it isn't.

    Amen to that brother.

  18. Java on OS X... on Beyond An Open Source Java · · Score: 1

    What does people here use to develop java on OS X? I've tried Eclipse, wich is fast, but lacks of GUI editor. Netbeans would be great, if it wasn't that it is horribly slow and bind CTRL-C and CTRL-V for copy and paste operations (We apple folks uses APPLE key+C/V for that stuff).

    I'm considering JBuilder X ... wich seems the best option so far..
