  1. Explanation... on Fold 'n' Drop Window Interaction · · Score: 0

    Raymond Chen tries to explain it - also read the comments for some discussion.

  2. Re:old news on How to Build Your Own Linux Distribution · · Score: 0

    I think you just answered your own question.

  3. Of course they DID! on Linux and OpenOffice save Microsoft Presentation · · Score: 0

    Well, of course they DID! They have to have a source of new ideas to steal, like, basing Office 14 on Java as well. That would be *really fast* ;)

  4. Europe? on Linux and OpenOffice save Microsoft Presentation · · Score: 0

    Ukraine is (at least partly) in Europe. More so now after the orange revolution than before.

  5. Re:Not in Poland on Deadline Looming for Microsoft in Antitrust Case · · Score: 0
    Well, here you can find the Polish Constitutional Tribunal's ruling, in English: http://www.trybunal.gov.pl/eng/summaries/documents /K_18_04%20%5B11_05_2005%5D_new_GB.pdf It clearly states that
    Poland's accession to the European Union does not undermine the status of the Constitution as the "supreme law of the Republic of Poland" (Article 8(1)). Within the territory of Poland, the Constitution enjoys the precedence of binding force and the precedence of application,...
    If you're interested, I suggest you read the ruling and the corresponding Constitution articles. PS. I'm also happy to be in the UE. That's not the case for some parties who triggered this ruling.
  6. Not in Poland on Deadline Looming for Microsoft in Antitrust Case · · Score: 0

    > EU law supercedes the law of member states when the 2 come into conflict

    Certainly not in Poland. A recent ruling by the Constitutional Tribunal (which judges on laws' adherence to the Polish Constitution) stated clearly, that Polish law is still the highest and nor the Europen Constitution nor any other law will supercede Polish law.

    That ruling was an effect of some radical right-wing parties trying to prove the Eu Constitution will stop Poland from being sovereign or something. I don't really care - these people are so narrow-minded - but the event got pretty big news coverage in Poland.

  7. Re:The question is.... on MSN Virtual Earth to Take on Google · · Score: 0

    How on Earth (NPI) is Microsoft supposed to get imaging data for the WHOLE globe?

    I mean, aren't *some* countries a bit oversensitive about their space?

    Or, do you mean Earth = USA+EU. That would certainly make more sense :)

    I suppose you weren't too lazy to Rich Text Format. Oh. Wait. WTFDUMBT? Ha! That's a new one, I bet. "WTF Did You Mean By That" :P

  9. Re:What? on Longhorn to use UNIX-like User Permissions · · Score: 1

    >It sounds more like they'll have secure default permissions, e.g. making \winnt non-world-writable Newsflash. It's not. For regular users. They are trying to force ther regular, everyday users to use non-administrative accounts.

  10. PS/2 mouse and touchpad? I mean, AND! on The State of Laptop Linux In 2005 · · Score: 1

    First of all, no problems here running/installing Fedora 3 (3.90 even) on an old Aristo laptop. The only one thing that makes me mad about its inability to be luser-friendly is the fact I cannot use the touchpad and an external mouse simultaneously and transparently. Just try installing Windows 95 on a laptop. Touchpad working. Hotplug a PS/2 mouse. Working. Both. Never seen a linux that does that, yet.
