  1. Refund on At Long Last, NeoOffice/J 1.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Then why don't you go ask for a refund?

  2. Re:Linux for Tablet here on IBM Tablet Announced · · Score: 1

    Edit: grown should be 'groan.' Sorry!

  3. Linux for Tablet here on IBM Tablet Announced · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Lycoris (I know, *grown*) has a Linux release for a tablet pc. Though this press release is dated 2003.... hmmm...

  4. Uh.. it's German on Beginner's Guide to Linux Distros · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you speak German, or are from Germany, it's quite pronouncable. It's not English. You might as well flame a Russian software company name for being 'dumb,' too.

    And the 'E' on the end of a word in German has the English short 'A' sound, or 'uh' sound. So it's somewhat pronounced like 'su-suh.'

    Slightly OT: but Knoppix is also German, and is pronounced with a beginning hard 'K' sound at the beginning: 'Kuh-noppix.' Though if you say it that way in the US everyone will look at you strangely.

  5. Re:Linus? on Apple Switching to Intel · · Score: 1

    Yeah no kidding. I bet Linux development on PPC will come to a slow. (Bad news for me: I'm a PPC Linux user! :-/ )

  6. 18% Linux of slashdot readers, roughly on Mac Install-Base Shown to Be 16% · · Score: 1

    Check out stats here.

    More info on googledot from a slashdot poster here.

  7. Contact Rob Enderle here: on Linux Geeks To Take Over World · · Score: 1

    Here is his info.

  8. Already in the works on AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core Chips Released · · Score: 1

    By ATI it seems. Though I can't tell if this article means dual core, or actually two cards in the computer.

  9. Re:They will defend the US to the point on Bush Wants Right to ISP Customer Data · · Score: 1

    Though if the 'government' no longer has people to govern, then it has nothing. So running is fighting it, in a way.

    The slogans of the (Republican) Party:

    War is peace

    Freedom is slavery

    Ignorance is strength.

  10. 'Liberal Democrat' 1801? & Jeffrsn was Republi on Bush Wants Right to ISP Customer Data · · Score: 1

    Jefferson's party, the Democrat-Republican party as we call it today was more main-stream conservative, if you want to think of it in todays terms. His party was even called Republican by most in his time, and was associated with a government run by a group of men, rather than the common citizens.

  11. gui app for disabling spotlight on Tiger Spotlight Less Then Optimal · · Score: 1

    Here. Though it looks like it justs modifies the /etc/hostconfig file, if that's all it takes(?)

  12. Re:Free Lunch! No tax! on Apple Opens First Canadian Store in Toronto · · Score: 1

    Wow! Thanks for the tip. Mod parent up!

  13. Re:Server's slow, but we have a mirror on AMD's Dual-core Athlon 64 X2 reviewed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apparently it does, as it too is slashdotted. :)

  14. Yes for OS X native here: on Associated Press Reviews OpenOffice · · Score: 2, Informative

    I still have my doubts if it'll ever come out for OS X (and yes, I know it'll run in X11, and no, that doesn't count).

    I beg your pardon:

    NeoOffice/J

    for OS X is rock solid. No X11 needed. Two grad papers I recently turned in were written using this, with advanced charts and tables, headers, footers, etc. Works fine in 10.4 Tiger also.

  15. Re:Netstumbler? on Kernel, Shell Boots on DS Linux · · Score: 3, Informative

    Take a wild guess at its name:
    istumbler

  16. HTML overview: IE required(!) on Mac mini's New Friend · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When trying to load the HTML presentation, I get this:

    This presentation contains content that your browser may not be able to show properly. This presentation was optimized for more recent versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

  17. Safari is not close either on New IE7 Information Announced · · Score: 1

    Safari looks just as bad as Firefox on my computer. OS X 10.3.9, Safari 1.3. It doesn't look anything like the pics on his blog.

  18. OO.o works on WIN95 on OpenOffice vs. MS Office for Education? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The current version of openoffice.org runs on windows 95, and can do the latest Office XP formats. Even Office XP/04 won't run on Win95- at all!

  19. and WIN95 still in use! on Longhorn Preview · · Score: 1

    An insurance company I worked for for 7 months used windows 95 for their entire office (20 stations)! Original Pentium, 16MB ram. So I bet there's lots of schools/companies still using win95/98 who will keep on until they see a reason to upgrade. It runs their one company program fine, that's all they need.

  20. Good for IDing computer componets to find drivers on Google Search By Number · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you have ever tried to locate drivers or a manufac for an unknown piece of hardware, you can find the brand and model with its FCC number, which is required to be on the hardware. Good for computer geeks!

  21. Isn't Dashboard just Konfabulator? on 10.4 Widget Site Opens Doors · · Score: 1

    This is what I thought was going on here. Even the widgets look identical. There were articles about this awhile back. Anyone know?

  22. FIX for it to run on 64bit on Adobe Releases Acrobat Client for Linux · · Score: 1

    Just go to /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat 7/plugins/ (I think that's the folder) and do a

    $ chmod 000 PKL.xxxx (or whatever the plugin is that it keeps complaining about). All fixed.

  23. Re:So, My Fedora Core 3 Install just got 30+ on Microsoft Releases Eight Security Updates · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Patches for Fedora are regular bug fixes for the 10,000+ Linux packages available. These Windows critial updates are fixes for vunerablilities in the operating system itself, which could be compromised by 'hackers' out there. Totally different from those updates you are installing with Fedora. This is crazy b/c huge holes in Windows are found on a monthly basis. This is not true for any other OS.

  24. FINK with Tiger? on Apple Announces Tiger Release Date · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Any fink developers out there? Will fink be down for the count for awhile, until new binary packages are made for Tiger?

  25. EDU pricing? on Apple Announces Tiger Release Date · · Score: 1

    I heard that an upgrade is only $70, from a university store if you are a student. Does anyone know the EDU price?
