Yeah, tell me about it. My bank got two ATM's, one old, one new. I prefer the old one because the new one responds so slow that it misses some of the digits because I type my PIN code too fast... jesus.
I agree. But I just quoted the article. Personally I think they sound like another one of those cold hearted corporation that I enjoy to bitch so much about...
Plus, with all the info on programming available on the net today and LGPL'ed engines free for use, things may not be that bad after all. Originality still counts, I hope. To hit the mainstream on the other hand... oh well, it's the same thing with music and movies.
> So now when I install phoenix/firebird/fox on people's computers I make a shortcut on the desktop that simply says "Internet Browser" (then sometimes remove the IE icon). You know what? People use it.
Well, if you remove the IE icon... ofcourse they do!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing... just use a descriptive file name.
Of course as always it's all about making the computer do the work for you. Would be cool with some image recognition algorithm giving your pictures desicriptive names... although I'd probably grow tired of always having pictures with my face on it filed under My Pictures/Ugly People
Your list of things... not that I'm handicapped but I think from that perspective being able to actually use the computer is a little more important than a dialog being a little misplaced.
Agreed. As long as it's kept open source I can't see what's to bitch about. You're still free to use what ever environment you want, and the apps should still work as long as you got the required libraries. So all those old school people should just accept that many of us newcomers would like to use a unified desktop. It's adding to linux, not taking something away.
Slashdot Mirror
He fits the role nicely... just needs to stop screaming developers, stick his finger is his mouth and start screaming mwuhuhuhahahaaa
But I thought search engines was about finding information, not ads...
don't you think Ballmer kinda looks like an evil Dr. Phil?
No, I think the point of it is that it's light weight and text mode...

Perhaps... if you can figure out those wierdly placed buttons...
No problem, I don't think you did. Just wanted to let my opionion be clear

a bit of that scene in Back to The Future 2... read my fax McFly!
From the article: "The firm said it had no method for contacting striking staff other than using the short message service (SMS)."
Yeah, because the size of a package will surely affect the code of the application...

send pinky and the brain out there. They'll probably smuggle a doomsday weapon aboard...

Yeah, while if time goes backwards they get worse and worse. So I'm happy for living in this time direction... uhm, yeah.
Happy new year!
Yeah, wow, what a hero. Thank's man, you da bomb!
Oh, that explains it then, good bye.
And I, at score 1, was overrated how? Dopehead...

Well, sorry for stating the obvious... but apparently it wasn't for the poster I was replying to.
It must be tough being so damn petty
I'm one of those anti-war people... but that doesn't mean I'm not happy to see him caught. You don't have to be pro-saddam to be anti-war.
So congratulation
Check out the version number...
You killed c64.com didn't you? Darn it, now i can't check out that game... well, there's lemon64.com ofcourse... whoops, did I say that out loud?...
Agreed.

Yeah, this was a "me too!" post.
