See, it was fine so long as only -1 accounts widened
pages. Unfortunately, the behaviour of your co-editor
Michael Simms means we have to browse at -1 to see the
truth, as opposed to what you want us to see.
Just think what would happen if everyone had your
attitude... No workarounds, no interoperability... The
Internet would cease to function. Now grow up. Thankyou.
I am waiting to be modslapped. Those in favour who dare,
mod this up as a protest against Jamie's childish behaviour.
Oh, and to the people that think that I am the
cause of wide pages, go on a logic course.

What limitations?

Why are there limitations on the first ammendment at all?
The only possible valid limitation I could see would be the "don't shout fire in a crowded room" one; any other is precisely what the ammendment was designed to protect.
I'm English by birth, but I spent a lot of time in France as a child, so I'm pretty fluent at French. I've quite often had conversations in French and only realised afterwards which language I was speaking in.
Also, I find that I start to think in French if I've been speaking it for a few hours. (If I was a troll, I'd make some remark about English, the more flexible language, being better suited to thought, which explains why we're so much smarter than them:) ) I don't do this on purpose, it just happens.
True. But on the other hand, try explaining to the average Windows user that they have to change the themes they're using in at least two places (gtk and Qt) for it to work. Oh, and of course your favourite theme for one set isn't available for the other.
If they know what they're doing, there's nothing you can do to stop them from making copies of documents. Sure, you might come up with some time-limited features, but if your material is that valuable then they'll find a way to copy it if they really want to.
I think the best thing that you can do here is to get them to sign some legal document saying they won't touch your stuff after the expiry date. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to stop them copying things (screenshots work, even if nothing else does), but if you have a contract it might make them think twice.
Why oh why does everyone think KDE has something to do with Linux? Sure, it runs on Linux, but it works just fine on loads of other platforms as well (I've been running it on FreeBSD for a while now with no problems). I wouldn't be surprised if there was an OS X port of KDE sometime in the future as well...
That's the whole thing about Linux, KDE and Gnome... You're not limited to one combination of hardware and software. All these articles which put KDE and Linux together are missing that point.
Actually, I thought Sun would be saying lots of nice things about their arch-rival, and complimenting them on their excellent choice of operating system.
And with the screenshots it looks like a hoax as well.
This product is destined to die. There is absolutely no need for something that will do 2 things in a mediocre way.
Computers are cheap. I have 2. One has Win2k. One has OpenBSD. That's all I need. I wish these people and their plans of "Bringing it all together" would go away and produce something useful instead.
Karma isn't hard to come by. Posting 4-5 times a week usually netted around 20 points. Multiply that times 52 weeks in one year, then add the stories that had more posts because they were hot topics.
Oh, and don't forget the trolling, that was the easiest way to build karma at the end of 99/beginning of 2000.

There is actually a difference, apparently. You see, trolling involves making up facts to support an argument, whereas marketing involves, erm...

I thought everyone knew... The killer app is here!
Persuade one of your mates to sell them a site license for Linux. If that doesn't work, find some pro-Linux company and offer them some easy cash.
SelectAccess is something I've used before. Based around LDAP, provides plugins for authentication on practically anything.
Damn I'm sexy. Great job negative karma now, maybe someone will actually listen to you now.
I want to see this "better in a lot of ways" myself.
Sounds more like IT hype to me.
I am in the corporate world. I have no problem getting PHB's to use linux in certain environments.
Right tool for the right job buddy, that's all there is to it. These guys are wasting their time.

And I want to why?
It's sad that that's the best you can do.
What can't I do with windows 2000?
Oh, and don't forget the trolling, that was the easiest way to build karma at the end of 99/beginning of 2000.
Actually, some of us had a lot of karma before the cap, and it didn't just magically disappear.
Besides, with my new view settings, "Troll" gets an automatic +5.
I choose to run Linux kernel 1.1, but you don't see me bitching about not having extf3 upport do you?
