Well, its not a different program. Visio is part of office. Make sense then that you can't use add-ons in Office (regardless of which component is activated) because many office add-ins can be made to work in ANY office component. They all share the same add-in architecture.
What kind of bullshit comment is this? You claim that 1 hr a day doesn't matter to someone's personal life, but somehow it would in a working life? You can't just aggregate it to make it look better, that ONE hour is at the end of each day, and its usually the least productive hour anyway (due to fatigue).
Sorry, if it matters to business, then it certainly will show up in your personal life. The fact is, yes, that one hour would make a huge differnece. I could be getting home after work and the gym at 6pm, instead of 7pm and could have dinner at a more reasonable hour.
What, no Bash shell??? No Firefox installed by default??? Where's python??? Where's xchat??? Where's apt-get... I don't want to sit around clicking on installers all day!!?!? ARGHGHGH.
Um, what? Why would they include any of those things in the first place? If that's your frustration with Windows, well, its a pretty poor reason to be frustrated.
Anywho, if you want a good cmd shell, get powershell for Vista. Vista also comes with IE; you may not like it, but complaining it doesn't come with FF would be like complaining linux doesn't come with Opera or Safari.
If you really want to do python, you should check out IronPython. Supposedly its faster than many of the other Phython implementations out there.
It is hugely overbloated. Takes 512 just to run(I mean its uses about 450-500mb when it loads to desktop on my brothers laptop with vista basic) and to run anything at a decent speed you need 1-2gb.
Um, its 2007. 1gb or more is pretty standard now. 512 was alot in 2001 when XP was released.. not today.
Now the hardware makers are back to making and updating 2 drivers, for 2000 & xp and vista. Brings up hardware prices and brings down driver quality as it double the bugs needing to be fixed.
Bull. 2000 and XP are different enough that some drivers for 2000 won't work on xp. A good driver model would be immune from API differences in the OS. So its not maintaining two driver's code as much as it is maintaining core driver code, and two different APIs which call into the core.
Last reason is xp works fine, we have a computer still running 2000 it work fine also. My computer in the office runs from monday morning till friday afternoon, usually with out being rebooted or turned off. Why upgrade when everything works fine now and upgrading will just slow everything down.
Who said everyone should just upgrade now? I certainly wouldn't bother putting Vista on a machine it wasn't designed for.. the ones that run 2000 well and the early ones that ran XP.
Skype I think requires special equipment, but with Vonage you literally get a 4 port router, with two phone jacks in the back. You can use normal telephone cord and connect the port on the router to a port in your house, and if you disconnect the POTS network interface box (very simple, not cutting required usually), you now have phone throughout your house.
No one would even know I have Vonage. I keep the router powered via UPS, and my internet connection also has a battery backup (because the same fiber optic lines could carry phone service, if they weren't more expensive than Vonage).
I agree, this lawsuit is going to hurt. And it sucks, becaus there really isn't any reason for simple phone lines to cost so much except for the greed of existing monopolies.
I wouldn't assume people aren't home and always busy. Some are, some aren't. We have a large elderaly population which probably isn't very on the go at all.
Roger Wilco doesn't get you a phone number, which some of those on the go people will use to reach you at home. It also ties you a to a computer. With Vonage, my landline phones continue to work as they always have.
I has nothing to do with your yugo, its about cheaper landline service at home. I prefer landlands when at home, because cell phones cut out, there are sometimes connection problems where people can't hear my, battery life sucks, etc.
Well, I hope Vonage continues, as I like their service. If it goes under though, the city telecom offers POTS over their shiny new fiber optic lines. The only reason I didn't get that with the TV and internet is because its more expensive than Vonage.
Well the studios still have studios. The artists may have to pay for them, but not up front, and it seems only if the CD sells. If it flops, is the artist out anything?
I close it regularly, but I hit an issue with it almost every day. Posting to any Community Server hosted site, FF will mysterously peg at 100% CPU and stop responding (fortunately, I have dual cores).
Imagine the outrage here if IE did the same thing? Smells like a double standard to me. IE is free on my Windows machine too, don't act like FF should be given more slack.
I don't like Firefox or their very close relations with Google but I must say as it is an open source, no charge software, they expect users to report memory leakage issues to bugzilla so they can fix them.
They until recently denied any such problems existed. People have been submitting bugs, but nothign was getting done.
You can't sit there with your rare AMD64 and certain HD and expect a magical fix. Trying to describe how it goes.
AMD 64 + IDE drive (or SCSI, I forget) is rare? I don't run Linux, so I don't have this problem, but its been mentioned here before. Also, that issue has apparently been reported as well, but has persisted for quite some time.
Same on Apple Safari and even Opera too. Opera found the issue with Slashdot Beta and fixed in 9.5. What if everyone stayed silent and flamed them on Slashdot instead?
People aren't staying silent, they are being ignored.
i loaded her valid copy of office 2003 and her legit versions of xp. there were no problems.
Hopefully she had the full retail version of XP, and not the OEM one.
in fact, i was so mad i went to the store and confronted these clowns who tried to convince that running anything other than vista would void the warranty.
It may; if they are only support Vista and its drivers, and you have a driver problem on XP, don't expect them to help you. Now if a hinge breaks...
Could be the OEMs problem. I bought a new vaio laptop w/Vista Business on it. Checked itout, seemed to work ok. Joined it to my SBS network, fine. Rebooted, then suddenly, boom, BSOD when I tried to logon. Eventually I found that logging on as a normal user was fine. I wiped the HD, install vanilla Vista and rejoined it to my network. Everything is fine.
I imagine it was all the crapware that sony installs (norton perhaps?) that was doing something awful. Laptop has been stable since.
Oh, I see, so you don't know anyone, so therefore that's how most people are. More and more people are buying HD camcorders, and many of them do process it with their computers. Check out sales of video editing software. Guess what Apple is pushing their desktops for?
You're talking out your ass; your setup is fine for you, but many people want to do more intesive tasks on their PCs.
When the company hires you as salaried, that time you're 'giving' them is factored into the pay.
Bullshit. Only one company I ever interviewed for told me up front that overtime was common. I didn't even bother to go back for a second interview. Most companies tell you 40 hrs, but then expect more, and more and more.
If they had to pay hourly beyond it, you wouldn't get as much in the first place.
What nonsense is this? They'd either hire someone else, or adjust to more realistic timelines. If the company is constantly giving you 60+ hours of work. I've been lucky to have all my employers pay me the rate I want and still not expect more than 40 hours.
The company I work for thinks I put in a lot more overtime than I do because I'm so productive. I do put in -some-, but not nearly as much as they think. The deal works out great for both sides. If this law goes through, I'll get a huge paycut (or fired, and someone else hired) and no overtime as well. I'll just lose money no matter how it goes.
That's your own fault; you're letting them think you're less productive than you really are. You need to fix that.
That said, this would be a great idea if they also tarrified outsourced labor. If they don't, it will only drive companys more to China.
Need I be? need you be a Civil liberties lawyer to make a comment on free speech?
The law does not create rights, you have them as a human. You can arrive at them, rather simply, through logic, or based on western religious theory (possibly eastern, I'm not sure).
Attributing one specific behavior as sociopath, yes, to do that you'll need to be a physchologist. Especially going by your over-simplified definition; not letting a word you were taught to be upset at, not upset you. I seriously doubt that comes anywhere close to being able to torture someone and not feel the slightest bit of empathy for that person. That's what sociopaths do (and you can pick that up from a REAL physchologist by watching the show Most Evil).
Slashdot Mirror
Read the original comment jackass; he wasn't just saying VS is crap, he said ALL IDEs are useless.
Wonderful. And if they also tweak document formats, will the two versions be able to read the different formats just fine?
Hmm.. except a large number of say Playmates ARE actually college educated. And yet they choose to be in the magazine.
I have more respect for a woman that isn't bound by what other tight-ass women tell her she should be.
Hmm.. the OP wasn't correct, wouldn't people simply be asking for Linux instead?
Well, its not a different program. Visio is part of office. Make sense then that you can't use add-ons in Office (regardless of which component is activated) because many office add-ins can be made to work in ANY office component. They all share the same add-in architecture.

Yes, because printf is a very efficient way to debug a complex application.
I see, because one plant here was badly managed, we shouldn't bother with nuclear power at all.
