  1. Re:Oh, your Ferrari has a broken cupholder? on Anatomy Of A Bug In Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    and you got modded up by the "last samurai's of slashdot".

  2. Use gaim on Time to Kill Microsoft Word? · · Score: 1

    it has a spell checker. what could be more nifty is reject posts with spelling error.

  3. it'll work only for .. on Software For Slackers: Lockout · · Score: 0, Redundant

    compulsive surfers who really don't like web surfing a lot more than any other thing, just do it to keep themselves occupied with something no matter how meaningless. For others I am not too sure. P.S. But, I like Thomer's profile.

    I like the way you spell it, sounds so much more right! just like color and behavior and .. so many other things ..

  9. the seamonkey users.. on Mass Migration/Bughunt For Thunderbird Tuesday · · Score: 1

    ..are better off. Those who are using both firefox and thunderbird could probably be better off using mozilla seamonkey suit. Reasons being,

    1. less memory usage. I have seen repeatedly mozilla seamonkey takes upto 6.2% of my 1GB ram, when mail, navigator and calendar are open. While I have seen firefox taking upto 6% by itself and thunderbird taking upto 4.2% by itself. These are after-a-while usage reports. I guess it's because of loading Gecko run time twice.

    2. With seamonkey you get automatic mailto handling in navigator and http link handling in email client.

    But, I understand it's easier to sell new names to new users than sell old name to new users.

    Also, there are those who use either mozilla mail client or the mozilla browser.

    Then there are others who argue that if thunderbird crashes their firefox instance won't crash and vice versa. This can happen with one single instance running. But, I guess we have come a long way from crashing mozilla. Atleast with mozilla 1.7 it's not a concern.

    Actually it's more like, I know people are dumb out there who will think that it's a good sign and drive the price up, so, I better buy. And because, you know that not so dumb people like me will buy and drive the price up, you too buy before I do.

  18. Re:How about drivers for the current crop of hardw on HP Releases Linux-Based Notebook · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Supporting linux on all the hardware they have sold would be expecting way too much from a company. It'd be quite a large step if they make it a point to offer linux as a supported option in their newer models from this point on.

  19. Re:Though not entirely on-topic... on VirtualPC 2004 Versus VMWare 4.5? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I installed win XP pro on my machine first. I dual boot with Gentoo. Then I booted into gentoo and installed win xp pro again in vmware. It asked me to activate the product. I called up tech support for activation and explained them that I am not going to use my previous installation and I need one activation code. They gave me one without any more question. I have been true to them by not using my first installation after that. I just use the virtual xp any time I want to do something in xp.

    The backwards compatibility problems are insurmountable.

    With the risk of sounding like a OSS zealot I must say, actually it's a problem if the email client you use is developed and code-restricted by an organization. If there is a good need, someone capable will right a patch in a matter of a week for his regular client, in a matter of a month, a mainstream email client will provide the feature in alpha build or beta build, others will follow suit for the fear of pissing off their users.

    Dazzle in the glory of OSS!

  25. for the cynicals on Traffic Control of the Future · · Score: 1

    ofcourse it'll be safe. if you can trust the aeroplanes 2 wings to keep you floating in air at 10km or more, why can't you trust a capable computer system to schedule your car. And if you are worried about a flat wheel to cause massibe wreckage .. I fail to see how. That car would be pulled out to the spare lane automatically by the computer. In fact as all the car are being scheduled by a computer, it should be easy to find an alternative route for the most of them, just change the speed of other cars in another route momentarily. This has potential IMO.
