    Let's just hope it does a better job at getting virus than their beta Spyware removal tool!

  2. Re:Taskbar default on Improving the Windows XP User Interface? · · Score: 0

    holy crap I had never done it, and actually it's great. You're totally right. It's a pain in the ass that once you open up more that 4 or 5 different things in XP, those little hooks start getting all piled up. With the taskbar on the left. You can have up to 15 little hooks without them getting staked one on top of the other. thnx for the tip

    Flash Newsletter: Mandrakesoft Announces Name Change!
    It's been in the air for a few weeks...
    After spending weeks balancing pros and cons, Mandrakesoft has decided to change its name!
    The name change will apply worldwide to both the company and its products. The management team sees two good reasons for this change:
    1. The recent Mandrakesoft - Conectiva merger calls for a new identity that better represents the combination of two key companies and their global presence.
    2. The long-winding trademark lawsuit with Hearst Corporation has reached a point where we decided it is more reasonable for us to move forward. By adopting a new name, we eliminate the liability attached to the Mandrakesoft name and we can focus on what is important to us: developing and delivering great technology and solutions to both our customers and our user community.
    We will endeavor to build even stronger brand recognition in our new name. So what is the new name?
    The winner is ...

    M A N D R I V A

    Why Mandriva? This new name, simple and efficient, is the synthesis of Mandrakesoft and Conectiva. This will further a smooth transition and will build on our existing brand recognition in the IT world.

    How the hell am I going to experience the benefits of OS X if it's impossible to buy a Mac! That's why I started my own site HelpMeGetAMac.org. Maybe some of the mac users out there might wanna help me see the benefits of the OS. I sure wanna know them, I just can't afford them!
  6. Re:About Costa Rica on Costa Rica May Criminalize VoIP · · Score: 1

    wow!, that doesn't sound like the costa rica I live in. I don't think a couple can live out of the salary of one person. And I certainly don't think the economy is doing that great... I don't think ANY costa rican does. I don't think it's that easy or cheap to have cable internet at home. I couldn't even get it where I live even if I had the money... simply becasue all projects related to technology are very slow in the way they develop. The project for cable internet to be available to most of the population is more than 2 years behind schedule. anyway, it's just that your post seemed like you where talking about a country I've never seen before.
