No. They don't get a stripped down operating system anyway. What they get is tons of emails with a subject line like this: "Watch naked V 1 s t a gets 10ad". The parent is a funny post anyway.
ODFmentation is a nice idea, but it would generate hate to ODF rather than sympathy. Also there is a lot of compatibility problems between different ODF applications. For example, I cannot open half of my.odt documents in AbiWord.
ODF is a good idea, but it is not mature enough yet. First we need an easy to use libodf with BSD license, then we shall ODF support everywhere, then the ODFmentation will happen naturally.
Yes, that's true. As an owner of Palm OS 5 device and Symbian series 60 version 3 (smart)phone, I may confirm, they both are far from being mature. The interfaces are weird. The number of applications and their quality is not satisfactory. And some features (like no UTF-8 support on Palm and non-changeable microscopic font on Nokia smartphone..) make me angry. There is NO really good smart phone yet. This is where iPhone might hit the spot.
Yes. The choice of a woman to represent Linux is perfect. It has a lot of connotations to its ease of use, zero configuration, simplicity of maintenance, interface predictability, and, finally, TCO.
Mod parent TROLL. Lossless formats == 100% of information preserved == they sound the same. Anything else is choice and flexibility of tools. And openness/stardartization of the format.
It's typical to all communication providers around the globe. This is what happens when you pay for service rather than for product. Any provider can always (re)invent some bazarre kind of `service', to make you pay more for the same thing. It is just a question of wording.
P.S. Sure, they will always sell your private data to anyone with an open wallet. No matter what they pretend.
P.P.S. Any "honest" ISP may easily become dishonest after the mere change of management.
5. Amazon sends (via Web standards, nothing proprietary to MSFT or Windows) the user an encrypted token. The token might come with an Amazon-branded digital "card" that visually represents the Amazon account and token. 6. The next time the user goes to Amazon he/she can log-on to Amazon using the InfoCard instead of user name and password.
What happens if user downloads and installs.. hm.. a shareware program, which, pretending doing its internet updates, sends the tokens found on a PC to someone else?
What happens if user looses his laptop?
To my mind, the whole password thing may be much more secure. At least I may keep all my passwords in mine. Not on the computer... Unless those are some trash logins to numerous internet forums.
I believe it is not that bad if Apple is gaining more influence in the Entertainment market. Today they may be able to get special and exclusive offers. Tomorrow they might use their influence to promote DRM-free content. Finally, Apple being a big player makes position of the mafIAA weaker. Not bad after all, as it threatens old distribution channels.
It is not that Open Access journals are easily admitted for publication and not peer-reviewed. They may undergo the very same procedure. The difference is who pays for the article.
In traditional journals it is the reader who pays (and sometimes an author). But this effectively makes publications not available for general public, unless they are ready to shell out $30 for 10-page PDF with DRM restrictions (valid for two days only) or you know the author in person.
In open access journal it is author who pays for expenses. The fee is typicall $2000 (http://www.plosone.org/) or $3000 (http://www.springer.com/openchoice). If it is a public grant for research, I think it is the right thing to pay $2000 and give back the results to the public.
BTW, you may see, that traditional publishers like Springer are also adopting Open Access. It is good for everyone.
Thank you. Actually, I think that carpenter's tools analogy is not suitable for software development tools. Hummers, drills, saws and screwdrivers are used to build every copy of an object. Software development tools are used to design an object, assemble a master copy, and test it. Further copying is trivial in case of software.
You are running an ad campaign for an obscure proprietary software: "state-of-the-art in bioinformatics", "free and accurate", "de facto". What does it model? What processes does it describe? How? What methods and what data does it use? You said nothing.
TA is speaking about tissue-scale modelling of neoplasm growth. And these models are an interesting research tool. Yet theoretical for today. You are speaking about nothing.
Modelling cancer is difficult, because any model is a simplification. And it is not clear what is more important and what is less. And it is not clear what is the most suitable way to describe the growth of tissue mathematically.
One of the early mathematical models of cancer dates back to 1955!
Thomlinson R. H., Gray L. H. The histological structure of some human lung cancers and the possible implications for radiotherapy// Br. J. Cancer. -- 1955. -- Vol. 9. -- Pp. 539-549.
But the problem is certainly becoming hot during the last ten years.
There is always an option either to get all tools you need separately, or to buy a Microsteel All-In-One box. Probably the all-in-one box is a good choice. Probably even its motorized screwdriver with IntelliDirection(tm) function is not overhyped, and guesses the direction of rotation correctly.
However, the screwdriver from Microsteel does work only with special Microsteel Screws (tm). These screws are `upgraded' from time to time. You should pay for upgrade of your Microsteel Screwdriver in this case, to get a newer edition, to be able to work with newer Microsteel screws. Getting a Microsteel Developers Network subscription is strongly advised.
You should also buy your materials from the same supplier, as these screws are useless with free lumber and are not Acqua-proof. Make sure you participate in Microsteel Genuine Advantage programme, so you may be sure your materials are approved by Microsteel. Please make sure that the things you produce will never be used in uncertified environments.
The tools from the box do not play well with the tools by other manufactures, unless they... uhm... sign a patent agreement. You are allowed to use different ruler with the Microsteel Screwdriver, but
In addition, you are not allowed to share you tools with a friend. Better suggest him to buy his own Microsteel Screwdriver, and leverage the investment. I forgot to tell you that any attempt to disassemble or modify your Microsteel IntelliDirection Screwdriver is criminally prosecuted. As well as an attempt to sell Microsteel Hummer Professional from the set. Don't need it? Don't use it.
If you are not happy with your Microsteel IntelliDirection Screwdriver and Microsteel EULA, better get an ordinary scredriver, from NEW Screwdriver Collection, limit yourself to standard screws, and use whatever other tools you might need (hummer, ruler, drill, whatever).
Slashdot Mirror
Please mod parent up. That's useful information. And might be important in many cases.
That's impressive. Thank you for testing and review. That's why I am reading Slashdot, because I am too lazy to do things like this myself.

Sorry. I am wrong. 640K ought to be enough for anybody.
Yeah, again, 640k will be enough for everyone.

P.S. ODFmentation != OOomentation.
Ha-ha! Definitely BMW is just a bunch of losers. They have profits and cannot increase the market share. What a shame!
FYI, in fact BMW's market share is increasing.

No. Probably Iran/India/Pakistan (successfully) testing ICBM will. The problem is not to create a nuclear weapon itself but the delivery system.

So did I. I switched to Epiphany and find its bookmarking functionality much more flexible.
Well said. And this is the reason why I prefer Debian over any suse. DFSG.

Yahoo about google: 469,000,000
Yahoo about microsoft: 429,000,000
Yahoo about m$: 1,560,000,000
So, unbiased parity between google and microsoft, and M$ is a true leader.
