use kde's "link to application" or whatever gnome calls it.
Plus, unlike windows, all the executables you're going to use are in your path, so you can just put oowriter in a shortcut and it will find it, wherever it is.
My theory: that winNT started at 3.1 because they stole code from 31 other companies to create it, unfortunately they stole the worst bits. The point of the decimal point still escapes me though.
I would only accept DRM if was for renting something, or a sample (say a free song that would play once).
If i was to rent songs, i wouldn't pay much at all, no more than 15p for one song for a week because i can go to my local library and rent a whole cd for a pound for 3 weeks.
Music is valued far too highly because of the current price tag. I currently refuse to buy music because there is no way that 12 songs (8 of which are usually filler) is worth £10 (£2.50 per song).
Plus most of the decent bands have either sold out (best example is metallica) or split up long ago.
As mono is only a reimplementation of.NET and the actual implementation can differ, why not compile the source into native executables rather than bytecode? Surely it would be faster that way.
If there is equivalent GPL software to non-gpl software, that is what i use although i feel the same way as linus on this subject: if the non-gpl software is better i use it.
I would love a world where all software was gpl though.
The cards usually have a default limit of around £300 a day, plus all the cashpoints have camera's in. Somebody i know had their card stolen and over £200 taken out of their account.
The person that did it was the sister of the victim, who promptly shit herself when the police brought round the video tape to see if the victim knew the thief. Unfortunately it was an old video player and wouldn't play the video.
She was caught out though when the police took round stills.
my point was, ive managed to live through a small hole in my shirt before, and im sure others have too.
Im not the type to smoke after pouring petrol all over my carpets though. i have no idea how people manage to set fire to their house using a single fag.

I live in the UK so ive never understood this. If you wanted to go to cuba, couldn't you just fly from mexico or canada, or even fly to europe and fly to cuba from there?

Hopefully it wont be hard coded in. If its anything like kde is with disabling eye candy, i'l be very happy.
It can be done - i can play media files just fine without gxine installed - the xine libraries work for me.
Yes i was joking except the bit about NT 3.1 being crap.
I forgot (for some reason) that it was the mid-90's and NT was actually quite good.
I was talking about desktop shortcuts, or kicker shortcuts.
For menu shortcuts, thats a problem for the distributor when they create native packages of your application.

i said mac addresses are not unspoofable. meaning i know that they are spoofable.
or setup the server with a whitelist of contacts. its just not feasable if you dont know every person your going to send/recieve email to/from.
the computer the mail was sent from, meaning it will hopefully shutdown some botnets

but i find opera a better browser than firefox and i dont think it gets as much credit as it deserves.
I dont say this to put firefox down - i think its a really good browser, just that opera is even better.

i dont think you understand. Microsoft got to where they are by illegal practices.
They keep their apis closed in order to keep their competitors from competing.
a comparison ive seen is a company which owns 95% of the car market making their cars only work with a particular kind of gas, which is secret.
microsoft arent being asked to open any code, just enough information to make other software products work with their software.
if they change api to make stuff not work in future, hopefully the eu will come down on them even harder for taking the piss
They got a new CEO (i think its CEO), who decided the BBC should be more of a public service and less of a private money making machine.
it seems as though their website is IE only, as i couldn't send them feedback using opera.

let the non-smokers have a window open (joke)
although a solid door would stop the smoke getting to the non-smoking section, especially with air filters in both sections.
i hate needles, just reading the word 'injections' in the title makes me feel weak.
if only they'd invent something like this for taking blood - thats the stuff of nightmares.
maybe if you go to sleep with one in your hand, i dont know.
ive never died from dropping a fag on my shirt.
i accept that smoking smells, but i was talking about wearing one of those helmet things the parent of your parent was talking about.
