No, I chose many functions that Excel has that Gnumeric lacks.
The whole data menu in Excel is practically not existant in Gnumeric or OOo Calc. It's not usable to Excel power users. It might be useful for a few PHB's, but someone who knows their way around Excel will easily become annoyed with the lack of features in Calc or Gnumeric.
It's very easy on Ubuntu too. Apt-get install firefox. Or fire up synaptic, search for firefox, click install.
You're assuming apt has the version of Firefox you want.
Never assume that every piece of software you wish to install has an entry in an apt repository.
Zend PHP Studio Komodo Netbeans IDE
all don't have any entry in an apt repository, and you because of the retarded nature of the menus in Gnome, you don't even get an Applications menu item when you install these (last time I checked).
Seems like every single camera had developed "proprietary format" for their output,
Hmm... My digital rebel dSLR outputs in either jpeg or raw format. Since when did Linux not read jpeg files? In fact, all Canon cameras read jpeg format.
And if you can't get your camera to talk to Linux, you get a $5 PCMCIA adaptor for the CompactFlash card and plug it in. Takes a few seconds and automount actually recognizes the device as well.
In Canada it is suppose to be illegal for anyone but a government agency to ask for your Social Security Number(Canada's version of the SSN). Banks still ask for it though.
they will spend billions making a device that will pump the old toothpaste into the old tube.
Considering there's very likely already a device that puts toothpaste into a tube that the toothpaste companies use, you can be quite certain that device should likely not cost billions.
I don't think your slip up was intentional, but it's even more true to the point lol. They'd rather re-invent the machine to stuff the toothpaste back in than use one that's already on the market.
We run this country, not the government. The government works for us, remember?
You sir are delusional if you think the governemnt works for you. When it gets to the point where a congressman's vote is openly dictated by the highest bidder, your democracy is in shambles, and you have transgressed from a democracy to a plutocracy.
Thing is, you people keep re-electing these dolts. Only 60% of you even bother to vote. Bush one with only slightly more than 50% of the popular vote; only 30% of the US voted for him. If the other 40% weren't so complacent, they'd have enough votes to elect a different president than the one elected.
And big question is which group has a higher number of voters. Those are the ones whose opinions really count.
Even the forefathers of democracy knew that majority rules isn't the only absoulte in democracy; mob mentality and groupthink is an interesting phenomenon. That's why you guys in the US have three houses in your government. Theoretically the senate should make sure the majority represented by Congress behaves themselves.
Although it doesn't seem to be the case in the US lately.
Bull... I believe the wii controller and the ps3 controller look quite promising for fps games. It's not quite mouse keyboard, but it might have some real potential.
I'll be a convert soon. Sick of throwing money at my PC.
Just to point out I'm a report guy. I know Java, Ruby, PHP, and some Perl. I know VB.Net and C#. I know Coldfusion and ASP. I've worked with SQL Server, Sybase ASE, and DB2. I've got skills. Most girls like guys with skills:) I'm not a dumbass, and I get paid well because I'm not one.
The problem is many report people and PHP guys can't use more advanced sql techniques like:
Derived Tables
Correlated Subqueries
Proper Utilization of Indexes
Query optimization
The other problem is we're hired to do work no other developer wants to do. Here's the typical development cycle from what I've seen:
1) We need an app that does x. 2) Developer writes app, and creates a database that fits with need x. 3) Company then realizes they want obscure reports and hires report guy.
That's way more common than you think.
Problem is, that by the time I get involved, the company has started down a path of doom. The database does not support what the company wants to create operational reports on. No one ever stopped and asked the question: "What do I want to get OUT of my application?" I always find good workarounds, but if I was involved in the beginning, their app would work both for putting data into the DB, and for pulling it out also.
I wish porn was so easily accesssible when I was 12... Back in my Day I was downloading EGA.gif files to my 4.77Mhz XT over 2400 baud modem using zmodem over Telix from various bbs's.
I had to actually work to get a hold of porn. Whether it was a grab and dash from the local grocery store or trying to fake my identity on a bbs, it was a pain in the ass.
So if I (living in NZ currently) create a blog on, say, Iranian server, and start posting anti-Islam remarks on it, I should be extradicted to Iran for trial on charges of blasphemy?
Well it certainly would be a death wish though:)
But you would be subject to their laws, and your blog would probably be pulled down and you'd have little or no recourse.
Just like online gambling; your laws in NZ don't protect you. It's the laws where the servers reside.
unless I explicitly need to generate a PDF or XLS from the results, because Crystal is Crap.
Then you don't know how to use Crystal well enough. Compared to Xreporter or Jasper or R&R Report writer, it's pretty damned good, don't kid yourself.

Now, I would like to have this book to support my own ends, but as a report guy, I don't particularly need it. Why not? Because Crystal does it for me. Anything so complicated that Crystal will screw it up
I'm a report guy, and let me tell you that you cannot count on Crystal to do it all for you. Sometimes the request comes in is too complex to solve without using correlated subqueries, derived tables, and the like which Crystal Won't properly use for you.
Trust me, I work for an online gaming company, and some of the requests can get amazinhgly obscure.
all break laws in countries which we're not in, that's ok,
Thing is, this guy wasn't hacking a UK server, he was hacking a US server, on US soil.
If he was stealing in the UK, he shouldn't be charged with theft in the US, but as it stands the crime was really committed on US soil.
I'd be more sympathetic to your argument if the server was on non-US soil. Then it'd be arguable that he didn't commit any crimes against the US, and shouldn't be tried in the US.
but just like a yard without a fence, the fact the fence is there does not imply permission to run around there and dig up the flowers.
Let's take that analogy one step further.
Just because you're at the door trying the lock doesn't mean you should be prosecuted right?
Technically, even trying the lock should be an offence no? You're still tresspassing if you're trying to brute force passwords too if that's the case (IMO that's not a BAD thing).
Add to all of that the fact that you don't need to rely on control and escape sequences,
Is there another way to do what ctrl-f and ctrl-g do in vim? AFAIK there's still some control sequences to remember too. And sometimes it's a bit illogical why it's a control sequence and not just a single key command.
That said, I use vim and like it, and this is great news... But it's isn't necessarily the cat's ass.

, no warrant would be required, since no Citizens' rights are being infringed.
Don't you think it's important for your government to conform to the constitution in all of its dealings, even in international lands?
I mean, what do you really stand for otherwise? You have a belief system in your constitution that only applies to domestic issues?
One has stacks of Gamecube games (I think he has them all as there were not many) and they both have PS2s with more games than I could count.
Me thinks you need to introduce your kids to getting out a bit more often...
In the "more games than I could count" department, consider how many play hours that really amounts to.
Good on you.
