Seriously, I'd like to know too. I would consider myself an advanced windows user, i've been using it since 3.1 and constantly amaze coworkers as I whizz through menus and windows with keyboard shortcuts. But through all my windows experience I still cant for the life of me figure out a mac. I mean, I've only tried them for a minute or 2 at compusa, and it seems that i can max, min, close programs, and the icon bar at the bottom is nice (hope you can scale back those 120x120px icons) but i know hitting the red? button on a window doesnt close the proggie, just hides it somewhere, theres a menu for that, i think, hell maybe im asking too much agreeing with this guy. if its an easy answer do so, or linky to a page.
I totally know what you mean. I can remember plenty of times screaming down the road at 20 MPH over the limit only to realize after a few minutes that "Oh wait, this isnt need for speed, I've gotta slow down".
Of course this has only happened when I drove right after playing a racing game
That was the sound of utter terror from ten-thousand Nvidia, Ati, AMD and Intel engineers who can now look forward to putting out a bleeding-edge new graphics card / CPU in less then four months. Expect casualties.
Dont worry, They'll just take the latest chips/cards, slap "ultra extreme edition XT second edition" on them and resell them at $500.
PS: On a weird note, a friend just got a GeForce FX 5600 Ultra XT. I thought the XT thing was ATI's? Oh wait, I mean IBM's;').
Your right, I didnt think about the fact that if the Govt is saving in OOo format the contractors will need to read the documents. Say a requirements document maybe? I mean, if anyone actually reads those anyway.
Compliments of Center for Systems Management - Go ahead and/. the site, would make a good case to my PHB why they shouldnt have migrated to ASP from PHP.
And yes, its a shame that MS Projct is the defacto standard PM PC Tool, and I havent seen any OSS that comes close.
Big news, yeah right. I found a boxed copy for pre-pay at EB or Game World durring xmas, asked the sales guy, was told 4/1/04. that was over a month ago. Same thing for HL2.
The whole point of having OpenOffice.org is that it will communicate with MS Word.doc's seamlessly, so if Israeli contractors already had Word installed, there would be no point to switching.
Sure, Go OSS! OO.o rocks and all but its a long road to a higher market share.
I tried to get a coworker to try out OO.org but she said "Eh, I've already got word, maybe if my next Dell doesnt come with it pre-installed, and even then what do I care, the IT dept. buys it for me anyway)
It can plug into a variety of computers and devices. One of his common setups involves a computer with a Pentium 4 processor, at least 512 gigabytes of memory and a specialized operating system based on Linux
How the hell do you people keep touting 7 and 9 hour battery life! Maybe I just made a bad notebook buying decision with my Toshiba Satelite, but I'm lucky if I get a half hour out of the thing, and its only 2 years old. Sure, when it was brand new I could get maybe an hour and a half out of it at high speed. Online is said 3+ hours, but after purchasing it I realized that was in "low" mode (like 300MHz or something ridicilous). I realize I probably cut my batter life in half by leaving it depleated for a week a couple of times, or so I've heard when it comes to LiIon batterys, but really, seriously, someone tell me they actually get 7 hours of battery in full speed mode at 3 LBS!
Where can I get good video coverage of CES

I dont have kids, I'm 20, so fibble fabbling with the HabbleFabbleTV and wabble wibbling with the uber-kibble kobble is whats going to get me to where you, Mr. I've got so much damn money, what does it matter if I just walk into bestbuy and walk out with the latest consumer electronic blah blah blah.
So you design multi-gate-transistorfied mother-bored fibble fabble, nifty old dude. you keep taking the comfortable in my 40's route and I'll keep fabbling with my fobbles and maybe when all this fibbling pays off and I'm as rich as you in my 40's I'll make the same post to/. as the new generation uber-kibble kibblers discus how much uber it is to build their own penguinfied personal space craft instead of just taking Delta to Mars.

Now if only we could get Windows to emulate DOS correctly, maybe then we could Play Duke3d in XP.
