I've yet to see any value in any of it. What I do see is a large number of people engaged in what could generously be described as trivia
I know a number of people who live in the same city, and we are all entrepreneurs. We are all very busy and not really friends, but rather colleagues. Sometimes we cooperate on projects. We keep eachother up-to-date via twitter. It enables us to talk about something else rather than work, as well.

For all the people who hate Twitter, don't get it, like to make remarks about using twitter to inform others of bowel movements, how trivial it is to build it, et cetera:
Please reply to this thread to contain the complaining
Every story even remotely connected to Twitter gets the trolls crawling under their stones, mumbling how much they hate it.
Then why the fuck are you posting here, eh?? With your reasonable, easy-going, smugness we're getting no-where, pussy-boy.
I'm visiting this site EVERYDAY to drown myself in the raging verbal rapefest between the utterly beyond nerds here and YOU just state "no argument from me"?? Fuck you, you arrogant bastard! You deprive me of my daily dose of liquid rage with your laissez-faire attitude, you hippie motherfucker, and I would like to stick in your face that I DON'T LIKES IT! ktnxbai
No one cheers on the armed gunman, robbing a convenience store. It bothers me these guys aren't viewed in the same light.
Actually in The Netherlands, there were a number of robber gangs that targeted strongboxes of companies and municipalities. These were seen as modern Robin Hood-types, stealing from the rich (as opposed to regular burglars that stole from the common people). They drove around in fancy cars and even flaunted with the gas cylinders (of cutting torches) sticking out of the back windows of their cars.
I can't really imagine admiring a robber, but I do remember that some ten years ago, hackers were seen in much the same light. Grandparent poster is probably stick in that era.
To get Chrome running under Fedora, take the following steps: Download chrome.deb file Create a temporary directory in your home dir: $ mkdir ~/blah Unpack the.deb file there: $ cd ~/blah $ ar x ~/Download/chrome*deb Unpack the binary code: $ tar xfz data.tar.gz Move the binaries to your/opt $ mv opt/*/opt
Now create a couple of symlinks in/lib so Chrome can find all the necessary libraries (apparently these are named differently under Debian and Ubuntu): $ cd/usr $ sudo ln -s libnss3.so libnss3.so.1d $ sudo ln -s libnssutil3.so.1d libnssutil3.so $ sudo ln -s libnssutil3.so libnssutil3.so.1d $ sudo ln -s libsmime3.so libsmime3.so.1d $ sudo ln -s libssl3.so libssl3.so.1d $ sudo ln -s libplds4.so libplds4.so.0d $ sudo ln -s libplc4.so libplc4.so.0d $ sudo ln -s libnspr4.so libnspr4.so.0d
Now chrome can be started: $/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
Create an application launcher on any panel for easy access.
Yes, it's awful, it won't even send the data to the screen! When you type in a URL in the address bar, Chromium will retrieve the data and then KEEP IT TO ITSELF. It will smugly show a blank screen instead of showing the data. I think I even heard a satisfied snort from it.

They say it like it's something dirty!
Girl: "Mom, I've got a new boyfriend." Mum: "Really, pumpkin?" Girl: "Yes. He's a Chrome developer!" Mum: "Oh!" *faints* Dad: *finally looks over his newspaper* "Straight to your room YOUNG LADY! You're grounded for a week with no telephone!"
Please stop referring to example.com, because only yesterday I bought this domain from a guy I met in the train! It was a hefty price but well worth it since it's so well known. Today I'll be setting it up!
That would make sense if it weren't for the software these complainers are making available: stuff given-away (Flash, Earth, etc.) that aren't their means for getting bread and bacon: that stuff is just a necessity for the stuff they make money from
That still does not explain why they resort to complaining instead of going with the flow, and doing what free software developers have been doing for ages.
who gives a dang about the free stuff in the repositories, minus codecs and the media players
Maybe you don't give a dang but I can't work without it. Basically the stuff I use everyday is important for me; the web browser, mail client, CD burning app, anti-RSI app, graphics program, chat program, editor, FTP client, man I could go on and on.
What I find kind of funny about the whole situation is that absolutely nobody is complaining about making software for Linux, except people who want to make money with their software.
Don't forget that for instance Fedora has thousands of very useful software packages in their repositories, ready to install with a quick 'yum install blah'.
Now comes around Adobe, Google and other bigshots and what do they do? Complain.
I still understand that it might be difficult for them, but I'm just saying.
I'm still wondering where the geeks of/. get their significant others, though. $DEITY knows how hard it is for most geeks to even start dating.
I work at a scientific institute as a software dev, and got my own business at the sides. I found my GF in the conventional way; i.e. at the local pub.
The blokes at work are much more hard-core scientists and have trouble with the conventional way. Lots of them are really into dating through internet, but from what I've seen it takes a lot of time, a lot of effort to write good e-mails, and a lot of dating to find the right one.
To make this idle thread slightly more interesting, can people recommend some backup programs? It should work on my GFs Vista desktop and should upload the backup somewhere offsite, preferably my own SSH-enabled server.
instead of simply refusing to sign anything until they sat down with somebody with a brain that could tell them what they actually needed the thing to DO, instead of what they WANTED
In my opinion, it doesn't always work like that. I run my own business and regularly the following happens:
Client posts a pretty generic Request For Proposal (RFP) on a website
I put in some thought (say, an hour) and give a rough price
They call me and make an appointment
We meet and talk it through for about two hours
I make a final proposal, another four hours.
Now I've spend a day and have not yet seen a single penny. The customer usually replies with "thanks for the proposal, but you should change this-and-that, and we should talk more about the details".
To which I usually say -- look we can talk about it some more, but I already have spent a lot of time. Are you going to sign or not? So me and the client sign an agreement without knowing all details. These are hammered out later in a functional design. If I come to the conclusion that the devil is in the details and the tolerances in my quoted price are too limited, I tell them this and possibly break out of the agreement.
The point is that these two parties did not break out of the agreement early enough.
Yesterday the message arrived, yes. And it's not fixed for existing documents. For instance I have documents with two or more drawings in it -- exporting fails (the second drawing disappears.)
I'm not sure if I understand you. That way it's possible to print the drawing, but then you still wouldn't have a way to print the document itself, right?

Well done! Frankly, I'm regularly amazed by people that let themselves screwed over by $BIGCORP. And you stood up for yourself. Again, well done.
No argument from me.

Exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks for the tip.

Count 'em. Five lines, bitch.
No, sorry it's not beta. I've been paying for Google Docs for a business account and it's in there.

On second thought, forget about it.
Even my Holland is slowly turning into a nanny state when it comes to drugs
That could have something to do with the Germans and the French visiting in droves. It's a nuisance for everyone living in the Dutch border cities.
I'm not sure if I understand you. That way it's possible to print the drawing, but then you still wouldn't have a way to print the document itself, right?
