  1. Re:Crack vs. Foss on How Asus Recovery Disks Ended Up Carrying Software Cracks · · Score: 1

    I find it comes down to what you're doing with it. I'm mostly unpacking other peoples' compressed files so it's perfect, especially with the Explorer right click menu. The people who don't like it seem to be packing more than unpacking. YMMV. That said, the only files I've had that 7zip can't handle are RARs from more recent versions of WinRAR.

    Team America: World Copyright Police. (Puppets of the RIAA/MPAA, how fitting.)

    It would be easier if they hadn't fired the network admin, wouldn't it? My bet is it's one of the boxes that the new guy 'knows all about' and has eliminated from the search.

    'a "fiscally-rooted" decision' has a different meaning in Oz.

    And Halo: Fit, work out with Master Chief. I don't think anybody mentioned Guitar Halo either.

    It's been done already. When a law becomes a toy for fifteen year olds, we have a problem.

    Amen to that. Another weird data point: JScript has a built-in sort. The last time I checked vbscript didn't.

    Have an arrow and "I'm with Terry Childs boss."

    or "Terry Childs was right about you."

    Word sucks so hard, it could suck start OpenOffice.

  13. Re:I fixed it for you on Liberation Fonts Increase Interoperability For Linux Users · · Score: 4, Informative

    We had Word documents get so screwed up that Word wouldn't open them. The best fix was to open them in OpenOffice and re-save them. It messed up the formatting, but it was better than losing a days work. I keep it around as a repair tool even in an all MS shop.

    If you think Word is evil, stay away from Publisher.

  14. Re:Pointless Search is Pointless on Senate Hearing On Laptop Seizures At US Border · · Score: 1

    Not a shock site. Use a corporate home page. While you're at it, set up the Windows Legal Notice message that comes up before you can log in. Use something like: "This computer is the property of big corp with mean, hungry lawyers. Unauthorized access is prohibited." It might make them think twice.

  24. Re:Ubuntu is bloated; what does Ubuntu EEE offerme on Ubuntu Eee Goes Gold · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have you updated/upgraded the system after adding the extra repos? I'm thinking about Ubuntu for my eee because the Asus and Xandros updates are some of the worst I've seen in a while. Simple UI icons go missing (backup simpleui.rc and copy it back), the network panel stops working, (still haven't found the cause of that, appears to be a KDE update) other stuff breaks. I hit F9, rolled it back and haven't updated it since. A good repository and decent updates from ASUS would make this thing perfect.
