    ...says that he is extremely happy with his phone. Add one USB data cable, a couple of gigs of games/apps downloaded off The Pirate Bay = playing Prince of Persia, Sands of Time and Warrior Within for the last couple of weeks.

    Oh, and Pang. Addictive, muchness.

    This is why I love the cell-phone market in India. I can switch providers like I switch t-shirts, and there aren't any crappy four-year plans with huge cancellation fees.

    I suppose there would be no appreciable mass market for a version of windows without IE either.

    I'd buy it

    As long as the functionality (Help, Windows Explorer, etc) worked as well, I could deal with IE not being there.

    When I first visited your website, I thought you were a kook.

    I guess you still might be, but you're a complete kook at least. This looks like a really interesting project, which fellow-slashdotters would probably be interested in.

  8. Theme on Dapper Drake Hits Ubuntu Servers · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Jeez, ~30 posts, and already people are complaining about Gnome, and the Ubuntu theme. You know what? I like it. I'm sure there are other people who do as well.

    How hard is it to change? Two levels down, IIRC, and you don't have to click apply, unlike on my XP machine. The brown theme is minimalist, it's earthy, and it's a *really* welcome change from the stupid industrial blue/grey offend no-one look of a corporate release.

    To reply to another post, the XP Blue theme sucks big time, but the Energy Blue one, which comes as default (I believe) with Media Center, is rather easy on the eyes. However, I really, would NOT mind a Gnome themed desktop, and if I could use it without the need for a stupid hack like WindowsBlinds/ThemeXP/whateverthefuck, I would.

    I really don't know why there is such a big fuss. Change it if you like. Use Kubuntu.

    Sheesh.

    Tell me about it.

    Have you ever tried telling them why the bullets feature is one of the most irritating things to work with? Have you tried building a multi-level list, and then moving one level up, and so forth?

    Seriously, they need to have a code-like view, where I can specify, when a list ends, and where it does not.

    HTML does it right, now I find myself doing more and more document editing using HTML, rather than word.

    <ul>
    <li>
    <ul>
    <li>
    </ul>
    <li>

    Try doing that kind of list in word. As fast.

    This is the internet. Turn off styles. Use a Greasemonkey script. Works as well.

    Honestly. You guys still live in the false dichotomy of viewer/provider that print has established.

    The oddball TV show with its catchphrase "I'd buy that for a dollar!" seen throughout the movie, Robocop, is called "It's Not My Problem". This is not shown in the movie, but is rather revealed by script writer Ed Neumeier on the commentaries track of the Robocop Trilogy DVD release.
