Instead of using the deplorable X11 version of OpenOffice, why not use NeoOffice.org ?
Let's see...
1. NeoOffice uses a lot of Java (actually so does OpenOffice.org), which makes it slower than OS X already is. The native port of MS Office to Mac OS X is native code and runs pretty fast. 2. Nobody uses the Open Document format. The world is pretty much standardized on MS formats. 3. It sucks.
LOL, psychological success of multiple releases of Linux. That's funny - you made me laugh. By psychological, of course you mean the emotional breakdowns caused by the following:
1. Having to type 100 commands to listen to an mp3; 2. Scratch #1 - mp3 isn't a "free format" so you're not using it anyway; 3. Dealing with thousands of Linux whackos like you; 4. Lack of hardware accelerated video; 5. Hard disks that lose like 15% of their capacity when formatted with ext3; 6. Grub not letting anyone boot back into XP to fix the mess that the text mode only install just created; 7. No games (no, sudoku for GNOME doesn't count); 8. No iPod support; 9. Can't write DVDs; 10. Having to recompile your kernel to support features of a NETWORKING program (wtf?); 11. Stupid communities who preach communism over good software; 12. Stupid developers who name releases things like "Assy Asshole" or "Crappy Crawfish;" 13. Idiots (you fall into this group, too!); 14. Websites like Slashdot where assholes congregate and bitch about anything other than Linux; 15. In general, stupidity.
Yeah, that's definitely "psychological" success, since it's most definitely not REAL success. After dealing with all the stress generated by those 15 things, anyone would believe a crappy platform like Linux is succeeding.
Hey, I didn't think you were going to respond to me anymore! Remember last summer when I was pissing you off so much that you said you wouldn't respond to me anymore? If you don't, you can see it right here. Even funnier than that was the time you asked me (anonymously) to stop replying to you - you can find that here.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to another fun round of pissing you off and then you asking me to leave you alone like a little bitch. Thanks a lot for the laughs, ALMAFAGTE! I still hope you die, though. Life's funny like that.
You are without a doubt the dumbest person who has ever lived. You should do the human race a favor - commit suicide. We don't need your genetic material anymore.
Given the current prices of petroleum products, I find keeping a box running Gentoo around is very handy during the winter months. Whenever I get cold, I just fire up Gentoo, take the side of the case off and run an "emerge world." Instant 100% CPU for like three days or so with the nice side effect of warming you up on those cold winter nights. Cheers to Gentoo!
Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 128 MB GeForce 6600GT AGP, oodles of hard drive space. Think I'll be able to play this one? Sure, I'm over the minimum requirements, but you gotta wonder just how much good that's going to do you when you look at the purdy screenshots at the site.
I think it'll probably just about double Gentoo's userbase, because the biggest complaint about it is probably the install.
You're right; since nobody in their right mind uses Gentoo, to double they'd need, let's see... ZERO new users. Good call! The complaints aren't about the actual install, either - they're about the fact that it takes three days on top of the line hardware. Shit, even Windows 3.1 is faster than that.
I'm very offended. My freedom is more important than your ability to run Commodore 64, and since Commodore 64 is a proprietary system you are clearly disrespecting my freedom. I'm going to tell RMS, the FSF and the EFF on you and they will take away your SCO Linux license, you insensitive bastard.
WTF is with that controller? It looks like my DVD player's remote control, albeit a little less comfortable. Why is it that everyone here thinks "really fucking gay design" means "innovative?" Is homosexuality that sheik right now?
Slashdot Mirror
Believe it or not, not everyone who reads Slashdot are GNU/Hippies. Some of us like to do something with our machines other than recompile software.

Any questions?
It's hard to play TES:IV and F.E.A.R. on your webserver if it runs Linux.

This is the single dumbest thing I have ever read, on Slashdot or any other site. I hope you die.

That's LINUL, you fuckwit.

Microsoft getting into XXXX space
Wow! Microsoft sells PORN now? No wonder I'm sticking with Windows.
Could this open some eyes and increase interest in alternative (Linux, Mac) offerings?
...what is Google's take on this development?
Commie pinko bastard.

...where it says (.pdf) like it's going to link to something and doesn't. I loved that part.

btw, pretend that's red. kthx.
...do they run Linux?
...so this obviously doesn't do much for me since my laptop is under a constant 100% CPU load due to constant recompiling.
