Don't forget that Ubuntu patches EVERYTHING on your system, versus the monthly Microsoft patches which are just the core OS and possibly Office. And since most of the developers of those other programs that Ubuntu patches are not on Ubuntu's payroll... well, they don't really have much control on whether something is patched or not. They'll patch some egregious things themselves and send them upstream, but...
Anyway, you probably know all that. Just wanted to make sure it was clear to everyone else who may not use it;)
You said you wanted to install Dropbox, and you couldn't, and you wanted to try Live Mesh as well. Those are both examples of it keeping you from doing what you want.
If you're submitting something for publication, a plain text file is best. I used to be an editor on the school paper... we would do all the layout and formatting. It's not the responsibility of the submitter/writer to do any layout other than saying "I want it to look like this" in a side note or something, and we'd take their suggestions into consideration.
Back on-topic, the only formatting that a teacher should specify is margins, line spacing, font size and family. Other than that, it shouldn't really matter.
Sharepoint is a worthless, steaming pile of crap. I have never found it to be more useful than file shares. The only reason I've seen people use it is because it's Microsoft software, and they've drunk the kool-aid.
That said, I'm not sure if there's anything else out there that does what Sharepoint does, but does it well.
You can buy a refurb T43 for like $300 from buy.com, or a desktop style machine for even less since you already have a monitor presumably. There's no reason to keep using a PPC based machine, especially since it's obviously keeping you from doing what you want.
That's what radio is for. If you live in Kansas, you listen to the radio for weather info, you don't watch the TV. Especially since TV's require lots of electricity to run, which is one of the first things to go out in a major storm.
Yeah, $40 is a fair bit of money to some people. But... so what? If you feel sorry for him, buy him one yourself. The $20bil hopefully will go to offsetting tax increases so he doesn't have to foot them himself, but he won't bitch about that, will he? Or the new services and capabilities enabled because the spectrum is opened up?
Yes, it sucks to not have enough money for things. I've been there. But you know what? If it was important, I saved money and dealt with it. If I couldn't go without my beer for a month to buy a cable box, it's pretty obvious where my priorities are.
So... it's a bad thing that the government is pushing to use the airwaves more efficiently? That's the tone I get from your post, at least. Sure, they may make a bit more money slicing the spectrum up in finer wedges, but that means that's less tax we have to pay and more services we get as the citizens. I'm all for it.
Well, in theory at least. The extra cash will probably be pissed away in some pork-barrel deal and we'll have our taxes raised anyway. But more spectrum available is a good thing at least.
What DRM? Sure, it theoretically supports it, but no one has ever seen it in any SD devices, anywhere. If it doesn't exist in your device, does it matter that the standard exists? HDMI has an encryption option, HDCP, but that doesn't mean that HDMI is a bad interface. It just means that the encryption is retarded.
Back when disks were shipped unformatted most people didn't have computers, only geeks and technologically oriented people did. Which meant they could read a manual. When your market expands, so does the bell curve, and with it come the people at further ends of the capability spectrum.
Automatics are slightly easier than manuals to get moving;) A six year old could watch his parents drive and get the car going fairly easily, really, especially if he just had to shift into drive.
What about the shipping to the factory? The raw material mining? The toxic runoff? Nuclear produces more power than it consumes from the entire production chain. I don't think that solar can say the same, but I'm not an expert on either.
Just because they own it doesn't make it not public property. They open it to the public, and with that, they also surrender certain rights to the control of said public. Not to mention that Amtrak and such is taxpayer funded.
I complained about the same thing, but with the latest 64bit flash 10 betas, I have been pleasantly surprised. Performance is pretty darn good, and it works exactly as you'd expect it to, no more JavaScript menus hidden by the flash object or any of that.
I still prefer it to Silverlight, because as much as Adobe takes non-mainstream OS's for granted, Microsoft views them with hostility. "Embrace, extend, extinguish" was not a phrase created in a vacuum.
Change your prefs and uncheck dynamic discussion.
Really, I don't see what everyone's bitching about. It looks almost the same, and it doesn't take you away from the page or off where you are on the page when you post. I find it a lot easier to post overall. Anyone else with me?

And most women on /. are incapable of correct grammar and spelling, and therefore unable to be taken seriously.

Not under Linux. Microsoft withdrew the public license for Times New Roman last I heard.

It takes a license and an activation code to go from car to plane mode, so only the licensed owner can convert it to flying mode, in theory.

Those people should be shot, because they're taking food from people who really need it. Fucking entitlement attitude here in America...

Is "people" really that much harder to type than "ppl" is? Does it make your message clearer? Do you like sounding like a teenage girl in your posts?

At least Foxfire is something to somewhat validly swap around.
...why?

That's only if you play Halo.

Dude... can that stick up your ass go any further?

I have a wife and a kid, and I still giggle over boobies. As does she. It's better than pics of goatse or dismemberments or something

So why is it legal to sell mp3's in the first place, then?
