Yes. I agree. Adobe needs to get its act together and release a Linux Version. I am not against paying for applications that work. I am against operating systems that are a: a monopoly, and b: are not secure, and c: are trying to run me instead of the other way around.
What are they giving back to the community? Name one project that they support and fund.
Also, to you idiots who keep going on about Linux and the desktop. I have to use a total of 5 computers. 3 desktop, 1 latop and 1 server. Only on of them is windows. It is the one not ready for the desktop. I would rather use KDE or Gnome then windows any day. Face it windows just isnt ready for the desktop!
Ah they are ok. At least they use a phone number. I dont buy anything but beer from the grocery store that uses a card anyway (I go to a food coop for that). But I enter in a phone number. Gee my deceased grandmother seems to drink alot of beer according to thier records!
NO i typed that poorly. I dont sit and watch movies! Thats the boring part. Its not interactive, I have little or no participation, rarely does it enhance my life in anyway (there are a few that do admittidly).
Legal guilt? Many laws are based on morality and henceforth are biased, so dont mention legality. Whats legal and whats not often is just who ever was loud enough and had enough money to pay for it.
Morally? The fact that art used to define culture, art was an expression. Now it is OWNED. Thats a moral dilemma. Is the Cat in the Hat a movie or an AD to get my kids into Burger King? Thats just sad.
I personally dont download movies just because I am not going to sit around that long. Its just boring.
Sorry your wrong. I agree with the poster. I would not pay for music. I listen to free music all day long. (Well more like about 1/2 the day cause it gets broken up) but there is no way I am paying for a cd. AOL proved that cd's dont cost shit to make. And sorry for you but producing a cd doesnt cost shit either. I have friends making music and it doesnt cost them anything.
If you are good at what you are doing, you will find places to play. Look man, you are an artist, and as much as I respect art, you are still playing for a living. Are you good at it? Or do you think you are? If you are innovative and have talent, you will find your place. There are 6 billion people on this planet. Are you a better and more intersting person then 6 billion other folks?
That already is in the works, and has been for some time. MS needs to change the format to drive sales of new office suites. The additional benifit for them is that OO will again be uncompatible. Will this bite them in the ass? Maybe, since word pretty much works as is. Putting in DRM and changing the save format may piss some people off.
Nope GPS could work if every one had it. Most states use a system that is based on a linear reference system that is out of date or by road log. GPS is only being used in a handful of states that are making a map based on it.
How do I know? I am paid to make a GIS of the GPS.
I have many different storage servers, at different locations. They have no clue on how to build on the cheap. They mention no Linux (or BSD) and thats just plain stupid. They put a video card in a server? WTF? You dont neeed one at all, all admin access should be with an xwindow on a main computer.
Slashdot, News for Nobody. This was the lamest article I have read in awhile.
When I have a channel that was mine only, for work in my company, they came down on us for swearing. Jeez people get a life. No one else could hear us unless the were snooping.
Modems CAN go faster then they do but hello: the FCC keeps us from doing so.
Free TV? There are so many bands available but they wont let that happen....
They want to regulate the Internet? Isnt that a band that they have nothing to do with?
I want to see the FCC disbanded and gone. I dont see the point of thier existence. Bye Bye.
In my department, if I want a software app that will make my work easier, I am looking at a 7 month wait while they test it to find out if it will not impact other users. MS can realease a patch here and there but the corporate user cant just patch and be done with it.....
We need to worry. REALLY. I am burning a cd right now. The data is music. Music from about 25 years ago that was on a reel to reel (older tape analogue) that had to be baked (put in an oven to recover the lost footage more here: http://www.soundsaver.com/squealingtape.htm)
If I am burning this to CD and then the CD becomes faulty, which is likely from my experience, the CD becomes useless, there is no turning back. This has happened to me, a skip becomes more and more of a skip until unplayable.
This guy is on crack. BSD is so cool. You can make stuff out of it and not give back! Thats the american way!
No wait. The American way is to help out, like raising that barn or making a bake sale that helps out the neighbors. Oh I get it, We need to buy something thats just an idea in someones head. No thata not it, what will we do?
512 Megs a limiting factor? Really? On a notebook I would think that would be more the sufficient. Unlike a desktop computer, a notebook is less likely to be left on as long or to be used in a multitasking fashion. Even making movies music seems unlikely.
I am using a 1 gighz notebook right now with 512 megs or ram. I browse the web, do some music decompression (shn -> wav or vice versa) and cd burning, some light web work, and maybe some office apps.
I am using Linux and KDE and I am have never even hit 256 megs in use at any time.
Yesterday I did use a spreadsheet, and I often do. Incompatiable with what? Itself? Excell? Nope I havent had a problem. Slow? Not at all. Unreliable? hasnt been for me.
Well, I wouldnt go so far as to say the older version sucked ass, but the new one is nice. I dont have any idea why people think Word is any better. I own my own business, and all I use is Open Office, and I even OWN MS Office, but I see no need to use it. I really think these people who say that MS is so much better actually dont do much more then simple formatting anyways.
Beacause in KDE you can do that. Of course. You can set up little "docks" in any side of the screen. KDE is my favorite desktop (on a fast computer) on slower I like a mix of fluxbox and enlightenment.

BULLSHIT: Clean Energy MY ASS.
Have you considered the waste?
I dont call that clean, I call that DIRTY!

Kopete is a bit odd. You need to set key bindings to make it send out your message when you hit enter. Other then that, its pretty nice overall.

I do. My clients do not get .exe or screensave files. They are stripped from the emails by me.
However, I dont want anyone to do that to me. Its none of their damn business.
"I dont practice what I preach, cause I am not the kind of person I preach to".
Fuck you execs. I will NOT buy anything that is advertised in this manner. NEVER.

After I saw the first movie (epsidoe 4, and in theatres I might add) I was so damned happy! But then came the spoilers: every other movie lucas made.

Huh? I just bought XP Pro for one of my clients (I would never use it myself) and paid $139. So whats the deal?
Yep
Thank you for saying that.

I welcome our Linux based overlords....

CD's are not a good way to archive anything.

LOL I too have an old zenith. Last used around 1997. Was viewing web pages with it using lynx. Oh yeah the type?
A 6086c running about 4 mhz. With a 1200 baud modem.
