  1. Re:Evolution anyone? on Mozilla Lightning to Challenge Outlook · · Score: 1

    Because EVO is crap.
    Even I uninstalled it.

    Evo devolved so badly even OUTLOOK on WINE looks tempting.

    shame it turned so crap :(

    even KMAIL is a better email client..
    uninstalled buggy shitty Evo for good.

    The Polish have been very kind.
    As a sign of respect - please check out their Linux Distro
    which they are very happy to share with the world,
    getting lots of feedback.

    So if you want to show your appreciation
    please have a look into this wonderful distro
    and join their friendly and chatty mailing list.

    Thank you.

    you dont get it ..
    you see he was trying to make the code more
    maintainble - more "readable" you see?

    i bet you removed his 80 line long commentary
    that goes specifically with this code snippet.

  7. Well I hope this doesn't die too on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 1

    Like C#Develop
    Like Enterprise Manager

    Because .NET is so piss easy to program.
    I mean you get more enthusiasm of people joining projects and submitting code.
    I mean how many of us can submit code to GIMP or code filters?

    What about Open Office have you seen their perverse "VB" - how stupidly unintituive? How can company-apps be easily migrated? That is not Open Basic that is sick-Java mutated
    But again because .NET is so slow and fails to be truly manageable on a larger scale (take Orkut for example) projects like this may die soon. Microsoft constantly changing the protocols and APIs doesn't help much either..

    Still there are some absolutely IDIOTIC companies migrating their win32 apps to .NET - are you mad ???

    Microsoft is like a mediocre daddy .. ah so many promises.

  8. Re:GIMP UI not the best I've ever seen on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree that a lot of Linux apps sucks
    but i really really don't get it when people says GIMP sucks
    are you talking about GIMP 2.0 ???

    For me the UI surpasses in ease-of-use and functionality compared to many competitors.

    1. You hardly get stuck with modal windows .. ie you still can do stuff on lower windows, while some dialog is open.

    2. If all fails and you panic- just right click. Right click gives you a pop-up menu that let you navigate to any operation you want performed.

    I agree GIMP 1.x sucked horrid.

    But GIMP 2.x ??
    I use it a lot - its very user friendly.
    If it was horrid I would agree you - believe me.

    I can be a Linux zealot but I am not into praising any software that is downright crap (independant of vendor or OS)
    Microsoft Excel for example - still (imho) unsurpassed.
    While Inkscape is no way as near as good as Corel Draw 12 (if you don't count stability of course)

    GIMP 2.x = brilliant powerful intuitive app.

  12. IRRESPONSIBLE Article on Cognitive Enhancement Drugs · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I am fed up of seeing such make-believe articles only to encourage drug abuse.

    If you think you can solve everything by fad chemicals - ha think again
    (and am sorry if you've lost that ability).

    I find it shameful Cephalon allowing (if not secretely promoting)
    the spread of such myths concerning its main drug Provigil.

    I take Provigil(Modafinil), I hate it, I fight against it - but I have to at times.
    The side effects: nausea, headaches, being jittery and getting nightmares.
    Hardly a feeling of enlightenment:
    If anything your brain feels alert but in a "silent" state (unwilling to think much) -
    receptive but barely pro-active barely eager to take on intellectual challenges.
    Even a can of RedBull with a shot a vodka achieves better results.

    Wanna get more intelligent? Fucking read, fucking study, Learn a foreign language, adopt a healthy lifestyle, exercise, travel the world, experience life, mix with people, push your mind to the limit but you don't need these short-circuiting drugs that will only damage your nervous system in the long run.

    Still .. since when pharmaceutical companies care about telling the truth?
    People prefer easy answers, readily buying into their propaganda ...

  13. Re:ZoomText is better than JAWS on New Technology for the Blind? · · Score: 0

    not as heavy as JAWS for XP = £785
    Multiply that by 2 and you get an idea (in dollars) of how expensive it is for a blind person

    Thanks for the advice I will seriously consider ZoomText instead.
