  1. Re:Budget crunches. on Brazil Mandates Shift to Free Software · · Score: 1

    But Microsoft Word definately doesn't reach 100%. It's more like "A tool that does 95% of the job for free is better than a tool that does 80% of the job but that you can't afford to purchase."

    If OOo had a proprietary binary format, then yes. But it doesn't.

    No, an internist (not an intern, internal medicine as opposed to external medicine (which he actually does too)). My point is that we don't get even prescription medicine in our health care system. From what I understand, you get more medicine than doctor, and I don't even get medicine.

    better than our health care. My dad's a doctor and to get prescription medicine, we have to take the sample pills the drug companies bribe him with.

  8. Lindows for beginners on Talk With Michael Robertson · · Score: 1

    You say your main goal (after you gave up on WINE) was to be an operating system for beginners. As a beginner Linux and Lindows user, I find Lindows fairly difficult to use. Your opperating system only supports Debian packages and the command line must be used for many things. Lindows is even missing many file associations, so I was unable to use many file formats until I figured out how to change that. Since KDE was used (unchanged), I have to go into the console for some of the most mundane tasks. You don't have any click-n-run apps for things like switching to GNOME (which I've been trying for a long time to do) yet you have some aplications that are dependant on gnome (like a Google search tool for GNOME only). How do you explain all of this?
