A quick google shows that's mostly a Brazilian model, but I can't seem to find any specs or anything I can understand. What makes it different than the WRT54G or WRT54GL?
If they want you to use Office, have them buy it for you.
The more like Office it is the easier it may be to switch to, but that means you're perpetually playing catch-up. Which isn't a good position to be in.
Take that with a grain of salt. One of the Computer Science professors at my school (not going to name names) was a brilliant algorithmist. His Windows95 machine had more viruses and shit on it than any other machine I had seen up until then, or have seen since. And I've fixed a LOT of bad infections. Just because you're a computer scientist doesn't mean you have good computer sense. It just means you know how to write software in some form or another from a theoretical basis rather than hacking.
I get office 2007 for free, and it's absurdly better than the last OOo I tried. No, you don't. Somewhere along the line, you pay for it. Your company does, your school (and therefore tuition does), your MSDN subscription does. If it is free, you're in a developing country where Microsoft doesn't have an overly strong presence yet, or you pirated it.
...right. Go look up what each of those libraries provides, and then post back when you've got a clue. Qt is much more portable, and provides a lot more for you than GTK or WxWidgets does. Qt ain't just a widget library.
libqt-mt is about 10MB on my system. That doesn't seem too ungainly, not to mention QT4 has made large strides into componentizing the library so it's not all just one huge library to load, you can load only the parts you want.
What about the people who may have done that, and DIDN'T get caught? Someone just picking and choosing a few people who they knew weren't going to vote and hacking their "vote" to go to someone they wanted to be elected?
So what if he used other people's names? The whole election was rife with possibility for fraud to begin with, and this only brought that to light.
Nope, just because they're black doesn't make them racist. Shit like this is what makes him racist. Saying that the US is under the influence of the KKK isn't racist?
What copyright, though? Are you saying that I should have to check with the NFL every time I want to say "John Elway wore number 7"? Or MLB for saying "The Rockies won the National League pennant once"? You can't copyright fact. They aren't purporting to be official, they're simply listing facts about her work. If that's illegal, welcome to an entirely new kind of hell where speech is only free as long as you don't reference anything that anyone else has done, ever.
The books are interesting, a quick read, and nothing that's terribly intellectually challenging. They aren't GREAT, but they are certainly much better than many other books out there.
Rabid fans of anything are scary and a sad sight. Being appreciative or fond of a mythos, even if it was written for children? I also like the Narnia stories, as well as A Series of Unfortunate Events, etc. I wouldn't call them intellectually challenging, but they are still very good works on their own, especially given the goals of the authors.
BTW, I'm 28. Get over yourself. You're no better than those idiot parents that let their kids watch any anime they want because "cartoons are obviously for kids".
I plan on doing many vague things in the future, too. And if you think of doing any of them, I'll sue you! These could include writing a book, drawing a picture or farting on one of the guards at Buckingham Palace as a piece of performance art.
Suing over plans to do something... can you not see how insanely stupid of a precedent that would be? I'm sure Rowling is planning on doing an encyclopedia. Hell, hers is the only one that could be called the official one! But the idea of doing it? That's called "culture". Shared interests that many people participate in. She created a cultural icon... that doesn't mean she is the only one that gets to participate in it.
Because he's been drunk in the past? Like many of us have? He's not saying he's DRIVEN drunk. Just that he's been drunk. Hell, I was drunk a couple weeks ago at my bachelor party. It was great... someone else drove, though;)
They may not have written much, but damn if they haven't made a better whole package for the desktop than any other distro out there. SOMEONE has to work on the polish and usability.
...so? Ubuntu has still seriously advanced a lot of things in open source, and lit a fire under Linux as a desktop operating system. Who cares if it's financed to keep him from losing money? Isn't that kinda WHY those tax breaks are there for businesses? To encourage people to invest in them?
Because it should be an option shipped with the software, it shouldn't be a plugin you have to hunt down and download off some random site. A non-trivial number of people want to use it, and more would use it than many of the other plugins.
Configurable command shortcuts? Who the hell would ever want something stupid like that? I mean, maybe developer types, so it should be hidden in a difficult to access and hidden in a place that's very difficult to divine without serious research and experimentation.
And people wonder why KDE is so popular despite so many companies officially supporting only Gnome.
Welcome to the Gnome mentality. They choose a paradigm, and configuration is confusing for a very small minority of users, so they throw it all out. Thinking there's only "One True Way", rather than realizing that people are *GASP* different!
Office is still an MDI application. It just hides the main window. There's no way to have two Excel spreadsheets next to each other without starting two copies of Excel, for example. Their pseudo-MDI bullshit pisses me off more than a true MDI app would. They half-ass everything, from their OS to their office suite.

Is your name Newton?
Isn't that kinda exactly what the Preview button allows?

Go spread your lies elsewhere, troll.

Stop talking sense. This is the wrong kind of place for that.
That's interesting! I think I shall call your invention a "double-u".
Anyone using such a construct in the future without my permission shall be sued. I named it, I own it.

Download the Windows installer, and unzip it. The PPD is embedded in there somewhere.
