  1. Re:AbiWord vs. OpenOffice? on AbiWord 2.2 Unleashed · · Score: 1

    From my experience: OOo Writer: Better .doc file support as far as fonts & embedded graphics go. AbiWord: Starts much faster, better UI.

  2. Re:But South Park is on *CABLE*... on Anti-P2P Law Looms over the Horizon · · Score: 1

    Commercial cable channels censor themselves because they still have sponsors to answer to. They are NOT under the juristiction of the FCC.

  3. Mario DS controls? on Nintendo DS Hands On · · Score: 1

    Given that Mario DS is a ported Mario 64 (and other N64 ports will be coming soon), I'm curious what the control layout is like given the...unique nature of the N64 controller which was essentially designed for the game. Does the stylus replace the analog stick? Is there a Z-trigger type button on the underside of the unit?

  4. Anyone else getting this error from Firefox 1.0PR? on Critical Mozilla, Thunderbird Vulnerabilities · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Installed, got this error: "Java Plug-in for Netscape Navigator should not be used in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Please use Java Plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer instead." And it wouldn't run. So I copied by profile folder, grabbed 0.9.3 again, copied over my profiles, and it's back to normal.

  5. Re:Not always the original dispute that gets you on Beatles vs Apple · · Score: 1

    And in the end, WWFund didn't end up using the domain, it lapsed, and some wrestling fans bought it.

  6. Re:Holding your breath... on Star Wars DVD Set Previews/Reviews · · Score: 2, Informative

    VideoHelp.com has a Star Wars Laserdisc capping thread at http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=102 812&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

  7. Grr... on Judge Halts Utah's Spyware Law · · Score: 1

    Can /. institute a new rule that every article about spyware has to include a disclaimer that most spyware installs itself w/o the user doing anything? And also that using MSIE and/or Windows doesn't consitute "doing something." A lot of people don't seem to understand these concepts.

  8. Re:Who needs cable? HDTV!!! on A La Carte Cable TV Channels? · · Score: 1

    It's worth noting that MTV2 is unique in the sense that some folks get it on UHF. When Viacom bought "The Box" and merged the format w/ MTV2, they started airing MTV2 on the old Box stations.
