  1. Re:Now if we only had Gnumeric for Windows.... on AbiWord vs. MS Word, For Now · · Score: 1

    I guess you don't need documents in MS Word format then. OpenOffice actually does this. AbiWord does not. Also There is much more to Open Source for Windows than TheOpenCD. Check out The OSSwin project

  2. But what about a logo makeover on Mozilla.org Relaunched · · Score: 1

    I find the layout and color scheme of the new site far more attractive. And Mozilla has some snazzy new logos for thier newer products now as
    well.
    All of this makes http://images.slashdot.org/topics/topicmozilla.gif look that much worse...

  3. Re:LOL on Mozilla.org Relaunched · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have it in pieces than having to load one huge app at once. That's been my biggest problem with Netscape from day one and was what pushed me to Internet Explorer/Outlook Express many years ago.

    Now, I'm "back" (with Firefox and Thunderbird).

  4. Re:How is this news? on Mozilla.org Relaunched · · Score: 1

    Why not Star-Trek/StarWars actors and movies do here as well. I guess somehow they are tied to High Tech and I just don't know it...

    Frankly this topic makes more sense than the Sci-Ffi stuff..

  5. Re:A good MS Word replacement isn't an MS Word clo on AbiWord vs. MS Word, For Now · · Score: 1

    OK, so how would you make any of these programs better? IF you don't put the features on a toolbar or menu where do you put them? Or, should we just go back to using WordPerfect for DOS? Or better, yet "Edit".

  6. Re:PHP & MySQL on Replacing FileMaker with Free Software? · · Score: 1

    Funny you mention that. I just saw and ad for SuSE Linux 9.1 which noted "the first GUI-based Database in a Linux Distribution".

    That's about all I know, though.

  7. Re:w00t! Direct links to forum topics! on Does Shareware X-Chat for Windows Violate the GPL? · · Score: 1

    AC text-only mirror?

  8. Re:Maybe it's time on MPAA Sues DVD Chip Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    That would eliminate about 90% of the DVDs I'd ever buy.....

  9. Who cares? on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And why is it an international "law" that IT geeks have to be into Sci-fi?

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  10. Re:Few points on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 1

    Forget the Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer, just Get Firefox - The Browser, Reloaded.

    Oh and if you want to pay for 2GB go with Yahoo! Mail. Far better than Hotmail and the same price. :-)

  11. Re:My hotmail account is now 2Gb on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 1

    How odd. I just logged in to mine (which I never use) ant it's stil @ 2MB.

    But I've got a Free Calendar now!

    (like whoopie, Yahoo has offered that for ages).

    2GB or not, I'll stick with my paid Yahoo account w/2GB and POP access.

  12. And I care because? on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    Tell me, will the "special edition" release of "Pretty Woman" on DVD get mention on /. as well?

  13. Re:Left wing CNN on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Who says CNN "de-emphasised" the Clinton scandals? They paid too damn much attention to them if you ask me. Fox sits at the Center? Like hell they do! How can you say that with a straight face?

  14. Re:Does it matter? Opera's still the best browser. on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Who said I defend mouse shortcuts? I could care less about all the fancy stuff you can do with a mouse in Opera (or Firefox with the right extensions). I prefer to use the mouse as little as possible, actually.

  15. Re:Left wing CNN on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    That's my point. If they were "left wing" they'd have pushed truths under the rug. The way Faux News does when it comes to honest coverage of the current administration.

    In other words, CNN is hardly "left-wing"

  16. Re:Why though? on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    I've been astounded at how many Mozilla users haven't tried Firefox. When I ask why, their responses are generally "I don't know what it is".

    Mozilla has apparently created much confusion for a great many people. I agree it could be simpler but I guess I'm also "smart" (?)....

  17. Re:Why use NS instead of Mozilla? on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    It is an ugly logo isn't it? LOL. They sure learned their lesson with the stylish Firefox and Thunderbird logos. However, they just make the Mozilla logo look even worse now.

  18. Re:Why use NS instead of Mozilla? on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Go to AOL keyword "IMAP" or "Open Mail Access"

  19. Re:Why use NS instead of Mozilla? on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Why do I want instant messaging software installed in my broswer? What if I want to use it and not be in my browser?

    Firefox rox ma saux! :-)

  20. Re:great on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    You've not gotten a CD in the mail? It is? an AOL product after all...

    Now I have two flavors of AOL coasters!

    It was also called "Netscape" in the pre-gecko days.

  22. Re:Does it matter? Opera's still the best browser. on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    It is possible to do all of that in Firefox and then some... I simply prefer Firefox to Opera. I've used both. I last tried Opera a few months back.

  23. Re:MOD ABUSE! on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    oops. LMAO. I meant "how 'left-wing' of them" (with tongue in cheek of course).

  24. Re:MOD ABUSE! on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How about when CNN spent hours and hour sucking up to the dead right-wing "God", Ronald Reagan? OR how they and the rest of the media were incessantly harping on the Monica Lewinsky scandal. How "right wing" of them....

  25. Re:whats the point? on Netscape 7.2 Released · · Score: 1

    You'd be surprised at how few "know" the Netscape name out there anymore and for those that do, know there are better options. Netscape (and Mozilla that it's based on) are dinosaurs.

    Firefox is the future. :-)
