I just need a decent sub for M$ Excel:( and that lousy M$ Project....
I use star office for word pro. and it works great but I still have to reboot to view any sort of multi-sheet or formula driven spread sheet.
Make the full set of tools available and I'd love to give M$ the long kiss good-bye.
We use linux for ALOT of server implementations but very few people use it as a sole desktop due to the constant reboot need
but as a former Dell customer their support sucked. I am not sure who they payed to write the support review for them but the support technicians were clueless in the extreme, and often spent more time checking serial numbers and paperwork to be sure you were entitled to their INEPT support than they did actaully attempting to support you. I think you would have just as much luck calling the psychic friends network as you would with DELL support.
I second that, toshiba laptops are gems. I've had dell, and IBM and had problems with both, my toshiba has been quiet and well behaved with NO problems for nearly 9 months now. hmmm maybe a problem will be born soon:)
will damage your equipmewnt while performing a LEGAL BACKUP you will win in court hands down. I do not know what the laws in Eastern Europe about Fair Use, but here in California selling that CD with a CD label on it makes them guilty of criminal fraud, possibly with intent to destroy property. If your PC and or equipment is worth 1500.00 then it can even be a felony here.
note IANAL, just a retired COP so don't bank on my advice.
But does this apply to internet access as well. Astound cable has VERY DIFFERENT policies towards additional TV's VS. additional PC's. I just put up a firewall, spoofed the MAC address and told them to getr out of my house. But they tried to charge me per PC for the same bandwidth. Is that legal ?
it is MY SIGNAL to do with AS I PLEASE. This precedent has been to court and stood up in 3 states that I know of. This is the gist of an FCC ruling in the 70's, sorry no real details. I am quit sure the sat. companies disagree but until they can figure out how to get past my cut-out, they can't even burn my HU card out, much less find my address. Maybe they should contact the BSA, and work with them for a more Threatening and Sinister campaign designed to produce results.
The truth of the matter right there. HTML is rendered DIFFERENTLY already depending on browser and configuration. Maybe I don't have java of *shudder* ActiveX in use, Hell I don't even have the flash player installed so what I see of your page is VERY different then you intended I am sure.
and this was not a staged protest. Get they guy out of jail and let him go home. If this was going to be staged, Prof. F would have been a better choice but HE was too smart to get involved on the criminal side. I am sorely embarassed for the way our Government has treated Dmitry. This is what I would expect from China, not the 'so-called' Land of the Free, more to the point these days, Land of the Hypocrites:(
That applies to great public need, freeways, bridges, infrastructure to support society. This is just music. I love music, but in no way does napsters existence promote, or threaten societies' structure. While it would be great if the RIAA board all died of a horrible disease and some HUMANS took over the job, I'd even settle for a reasonable payment scheme for online music, provided it was not a pay per listen and the quality was CD level. Half the MP3's out there sound like crap anyways.
out of line. But I still stand on my belief that parents NEED to take responsibility for their childs upbringing. You are not too far off on your typing of me, though I was raised in a very religious surrounding. The point being there is ALWAYS a resource, If you're not an Libertarian UBER-parent then get help, from the local church, day care, the state, someone so your child is not just surfing unattended but has a goal and some supervision. This is by no means 100% but a good kid will do good given a chance and little structure.
As to morals by legislature it IS that way but only because "we the people" have become apathetic and uncaring for anything beyond the scope of our small little world.
Well, enough is enough, see you all in SF tomorrow at Free Dmitry rally.
btw the banner only page is a sign that/. is being/.'d:) Their sql server running near max. The image is served from a different server, usually images.slashdot, but sometimes a doubleclick banner is used:(
Just did some research and, thats not the only way to get drawn but the county property records are heavily used. Apparently they also reference state ID's and drivers lic. records as well as census and state tax board data. But I find it odd that I never once got a summons until I bought my house.
metatags and what the author uses as keywords. p0rn sites are notorius for using 400+ keywords on every subject from sysadmin to childcare just to get hits. What they need to do is crack down and force people to label the content as what it is, so you won't UNKNOWINGLY step into a scat site:) (pun intended)
and stop depending on the government, the schools and anyone else you can find to do it for you. Sit with your child and talk about it, or do not allow them on the computer unsupervised, seems real simple to me. I have a logon and KIDS DESK running which prevents net access. My son DOES NOT have access to P2P software, he's not old enough to handle it yet. I can understand your concern as a parent, but IN NO WAY DO I AGREE WITH YOU...
And if the raise your own kids and be responsible argument is "NOT COMPELLING ENOUGH" then you should be sterilized and your kids given to an "ADULT" who can handle the responsibility.
I have a nice house and get jury summons just like every other property owner in the US. Now I will admit that there is a large population that is apparently 13 or so but there are alot of professional folks here too, even if we are cracked in the head for wasting our time:)
the company wants their cake, your cake, and they want to eat it all, and they want you to stand by and prepare to clean up after them if they make a mess. My company is a LARGE IT/Financial firm and they do have a limited tolerance policy, ie NO PORN or un-PC stuff, they monitor but do not interfere unless your usage becomes a problem. Now exactly what a problem is no one will define so live life on the edge, and SURF from HOME.
that lasted what 30 minutes on slashdot, before a story requiring the PDF format was posted for all to access. Nice to see Slashdot standing tall and support Dmitry.
Between that and the doubleclick ads slashdot keeps running right above the stories about how heinous their privacy violations are....
We need to change the name of this place to/Hypocrite.
what if there is no functional difference in performance beyond pay, and benefits ?? This is happening to programmers all over the place, just ask any 40 year old programmer now, what it takes to get on full time...
If it is a performance issue I agree the better worker should be hired hands down.
as a thief ? If you are gonna pirate, just do it. Don't waste our time trying to justify it as social protest against M$ or the robin hood syndrome. I don't pirate software, thats like stealing from myself. How can I as a sys admin expect my users to maitain licenses and legit products if I can't ??
this is the bottom line...90% of video games are about ESCAPISM, not more REALISM. I love the lousy game player with a black belt comment, though, from above. Now the guy can have his revenge on the gangly geek who thrashed him at Mortal Kombat:) LMAO

both of these voices are hands above the default :)

festival is kinda cool but it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher compared to the AT&T voice.

at least that's my flawed understanding of it

so why post as an AC then ? You are proof that evolution is not infallible.

We need to change the name of this place to

in other words you can't be bothered leave me alone..I hope you are thinking that when they come to get you. We of course will al be busy :)
