Ok, that's obviously a question of personal preferences, but I can much easier handle 100 business cards (real) then 100 JPEGs somewhere on my microSD card which is plugged in somewhere in my mobile phone (God knows where the bugger is ! I tried !).
At least, it is much faster to throw away the 90 useless ones.
The day after the big trade show party, once I get sober enough to realize which are those.
From TFA: "Also, the scanner function can be used to scan in a business card placed on top of the screen,..."
Frankly, what for ? Have you ever received a business card with words: "Have a look, but I need it back !" ???
you don't understand this
if i'm willing to pay, i pay
if i'm not willing to pay, i get it from my friend
at the end of the day, if the provider gives me what i want, and i have money, i pay
if the provider has healthy and productive audience, he profits
but when i pay, i expect to be able to burn cd, save as mp3, save as ogg.. and i'm not going to install any propietary software on my machine
if i have no other option, i will rip it somewhere
so there are two options, either they let me buy it legaly, or not
i think that windows should be banned from internet
or at least, providers should charge windows users more for the service, since their spam is using much more bandwith then my emails and surfing
for everyone who really insist having windows, would suggest dual boot pc, one partition with linux for email, surfing, etc; and another one with windows for playing, video editing,... whatever else
i'm not trying to do video editing on linux because there are better tools for windows; and for the same reason, people should not use their windows computer for internet, it just sucks
one of the reasons i've adopted gentoo on production servers syncing with two months delay and only selected packages (against my own portage tree), i'm still running 'up to date' system, and i don't need to think about 'another big update'
as long as gentoo officially exists, at least;-)
since i have started, there were already two releases of mandrake and two releases of fedora core, so it has been worth it
copy&paste is an example of something you'd expect to work, even between different toolkits; because if you are just an user, you don't care about toolkits
krusader is a fila manager, something like total commander for windows
and it doesn't work properly under gnome env... and it can be a pain
try to use krusader within gnome, and try to use it to mount a cd, then unmount it, and then eject it
does not work why ?
i'm not saying that it is bad, but it does not work sometimes with that crappy windows you have one fucking api, one fucking scheme, one fucking everything but sometimes it is working pretty good
of course, there some apps where ctrl-c have a specific meaning, like gnome terminal but there you can use shift+ctrl+c and shift+ctrl+v instead possibly you can change your key bindings and get used to ctlr+something to use instead 'standard' ctrl+c in terminal
sometimes it is painful to copy&paste between gnome and kde apps, but this has nothing to do with two clipboards in X

Just give me a dope and you won't believe what my resolution is !

great news for everyone paying oracle licenses :-)

the scalability is a key factor here -> gas, coal or oil plant isn't going to power your handy (directly)
solar panel can, as it can be scaled much easier
i'd phrase it differently
;-)
service uptime is what your customers pay for
if i would buy you a nice house, give you a good-paid job and promised you a future, would you refuse to be stubborn ? ;-)
it DOES matter even in space
being free of gravity does not mean being free of inertia
please, tell me one thing
if they could rewrite it in one week, they could have written it in 2-4 weeks
so why outsource ? i don't believe that you can outsource a project and get a final result in 1-3 weeks... so it makes NO sense
i think that you are telling a story which is not yours, and which you don't understand
even in cernobyl, there was 'only' chemical explosion (spreading radioactive material)
i'm not saying that was good, but it was not bad enough (comparing to nucler explosion there)
don't forget, significant part of these 13M will stay in germany, may help to create new jobs there, etc ...
so paying 7M for windows can be more expensive (for germany at least) than paying 13M for linux

more then 10 years ?
so you have 2-3 years left
then you die, painfully
you should stop sitting in front of your PC and start enjoying your life
remember what gmail says:
Don't throw anything away.
1000 megabytes of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.
they just need to add:
We will do it for you.

i haven't said that it is a problem to copy&paste between KDE and Gnome in general
with two clipboard buffers, you have more ways how you can use them incorrectly in your app
exactly !
of course, there some apps where ctrl-c have a specific meaning, like gnome terminal
but there you can use shift+ctrl+c and shift+ctrl+v instead
possibly you can change your key bindings and get used to ctlr+something to use instead 'standard' ctrl+c in terminal

put it this way, $13M cash + $13M common stock is still several times more then $50M investment in SCO
26M$ is still much better then what it would be in four to eight weeks time
