Well you're right, that's what I meant. I didn't know you can compile Eclipse in a different way, and I wonder why that hasn't happened if it's so much faster.
I really liked Word Pro back in 1997. I used it several years. It had many useful features. But when I changed to Windows 2000 it crashed all the time. So I changed to Office - simple as that. The fact was that the crashes I had with Windows 98 were so frequent, that changing to Office was a small price.
Anyway, I'm on a Mac now, using NeoOffice for more than a year. I don't use Office anymore on the Mac. NeoOffice is slow - no question about that. But it's workable. If you put many pictures in a document, then it's really slow. If you do difficult layout stuff, same story.
NeoOffice looks a bit like Mozilla did several years ago. Then came Phoenix, the browser only version, now better known as Firefox. Mozilla was a slow browser. Firefox is clean and fast (well maybe not if you install a ton of extensions - but that's your own fault).
And I really would like IBM (more than Apple) to jump in and help them out. But on the other hand, isn't Sun supposed to do that?!?!
OpenOffice is working on an Aqua version that can run natively on OSX. I suppose that will run faster than NeoOffice.
From their mission statement:
To develop OpenOffice.org on the Mac OS X platform.
At the moment this means producing continued releases of the X11 version of OpenOffice for the Mac, and the removal of X11 as a requirement thus making OpenOffice more Mac like. Once OpenOffice Aqua is released, the team will focus on making OpenOffice adhere to the Apple HCI guidelines.
For me, NeoOffice works, and I've been using it since more than a year. The big problem here is not NeoOffice, but Java Swing I believe, as NeoOffice is java-based. Java is slow on the Mac, and that should be fixed! Try to use Eclipse, then NeoOffice is lightning speed.
But you should recognize it as your brain and body telling you to get out now, you're killing it!
The body has its own ways of telling it wants to quit, even if the brain keeps on denying the signals. In WWI many soldiers went blind suddenly, without any reason. Many soldiers couldn't walk anymore. But when tested using clever tricks, it was clear they could see or walk. It was simply the body taking over the decision, giving them a reason to get out of that horrible situation.
Just recently I met a teenager who's legs felt like pudding. Sometimes she just fell on the ground, couldn't walk. She was showing all the signs of burnout or chronic stress. Her parents denied her problems - the cause of this - said she was faking, which made it impossible for her to handle the situation. This was her body taking over the decision.
It's not the job. It's not the fit. It's the type of person... The one who gets RSI, who gets a whip-lash in a car accident.
But wait! That's not true either! It's all of this. The whole package. There's no easy way to define this.
Call it life. Some people just have a more difficult time handling life. And as pressure is increasing on people, more people crack and get sick. By the way, they say 90% of all sickness is stress-related, that cold or flue or whatever. It just comes out in different ways in different people.

Understanding Burnout
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
Burnout is work related. By definition. I've had a discussion about it with several pro's in the field. When it has to do with work, they call it "burnout". When it's nothing to do with work, it's called chronic stress or something else. It's stupid, but that's the definition. I believe this makes it easier to blame the employer in a legal sense.
When using Opera 9 (OSX), I got another ad, for Yahoo Answers. When using Safari, I got an ad for the search bar. So this ad is targeted at Firefox, which seems reasonable. Safari is not a target as MS has discontinued development of IE for the Mac, and has said people should use Safari. Opera is probably too small to bother, and not growing in market share.
I have a hunch that many adults will use these laptops. When they see the power of it, and when they have use for it, and especially when the children can help them using it, as their teachers...
I think it's rather stupid. Any support for the language should be encouraged. MS did this free of charge I suppose. Only if they did a really bad job and messed up the language, then it's a problem.
Asking questions can also be a way of giving something back, although many people don't see that. I admit that most of the time I ask questions, more than I answer. But I put a lot of effort in those questions. If I'm going to ask someone to look into my problems, I may as well give them all that I have. I report back if someone answers, and try to make it into some kind of solution that hopefully other people will find using a search engine.
The bonus is that in doing this, I make an overview of the problem, and suddenly see all kind of new ways to look at it. Quite often that is good enough to solve the problem myself.
I suppose the move to Windows was much more radical. Still, this is no.2. I don't know yet if I'll use it or not. Is it possible to go back to the classic menu? Like in XP you can use the Windows Classic style? It's the first thing I do after installing XP: change that ugly blue theme and go to the classic start menu, set explorer to the classic style.
I had an IBM Aptiva in 1997 with a phone system. I could telephone other people using the computer. This was done using a normal telephone line, no adsl or cable. The computer was not online. When somebody phoned me, I would hear a ringtone via the loudspeakers, and I could talk using a microphone. I used it several times, but it wasn't really practical, especially because of sound quality.
So true! People only think of Africa and the Third World as if over there everyone is so poor they're starving to death, or they're fighting and killing eachother. This is the picture that's in the news. But this is only a small part of the truth. Many people in Africa have a good life, although maybe primitive in our eyes if they don't have proper roads and cable tv and microwaves and cell phones. But if they have a house, a proper meal, clean water and electricity, they have a good basis. Small businesses, students, schools, they all can profit from these laptops, whether they cost $100 or $150. So this laptop is not meant for homeless kids who sell it immediately for some food or glue, but it is a way of introducing kids and adults who have a basic standard of living with new technology that can really help them.
Well in fact this is the reason of all the delays! The other problems etc, they were just to give the composer a bit more time. As you can hear, it really was worth the effort!
The republicans won the president elections two times with such close vote counts, and one count would have given the democrats the president. I would say they won the war with their vote-counting strategy. Now they loose a battle. With all scandals going on, with the problems in Iraq and the army top being critical, it's time they take a pause. They now have two years to regroup, and then can attack the democrats again, who they can blame for everything going wrong from now on.
Often times people will exploit it via normal advertisers
I hadn't realised that this is in fact a very good method. Just buy some add space at Google for office products or computer hardware at attractive but not unreasonably low prices, then create an online store for these products, make a message on the website that the store is offline, et voila! The user is not alarmed, moves on, but the computer is infected.

Not only that, but he could have edited the pictures a bit. The black is so.... black. Can't see a thing!
The animals aren't the problem here, the people are. So let's just call them "people", not "animals".
Well?

That's the difference between the professional definition and daily language. Professionally, it is only about work!
It's not the job. It's not the fit. It's the type of person... The one who gets RSI, who gets a whip-lash in a car accident.
