The fact is High School and Junior High sucks. Its a place where the non-conformists get their dignity stripped away because they try something different. Geeks need to start to realize that it is just High School, you go and get your 4.0gpa, and while you're doing it you tell yourself "I'm a geek, and I'm proud of it", and whatever anyone says to you, you'll still know that you're better than them and that you'll always be better than them and nothing much else matters. Because when you own the company and they are still working for minimum wage as a janitor...you'll both know who really won.
I'll have to agree with you on this one. Both writers were morons. The so called "Techie" doesn't write eloquently. Someone in one of the above comments mentioned that he may code like that too. Well that would sure explain a lot about windows. Secondly, The english major, Eliza. Well, if she purchased RedHat Linux 5.2 why would you go out and download Corel if it comes on the CD in a nice easy to use RPM. I'm sure she could figure out RPM. Why doesn't she have her e-mail address on the website so we can e-mail her about her incompetence. Lastly...Did anyone else notice how slow Slate's webserver is. It must have taken me 4 tries to load the site. It just stops loading halfway through...is that because they are running it on NT? Also notice in both articles practically ever y other article was a praise to Microsoft.
Yes...there are enough translations...but I'm bored and need to brush up on my german. So here is my approximation: "Besides the WordPerfect 2000 Office Package from Corel to be released in June, the new Windows Version 9 Graphics Package, Corel Draw, will be on the German market. Corel Draw should be released at the earliest at the end of the year for Linux. After the successful Linux Version of WordPerfect 8 (400,000 Downloads in only 4 weeks) WordPerfect 2000 will be including Tablecalculation, a Presentation Module, and a Calendar."
I'm not positive about the last portion. I'm not a fluent german speaker so I can only assume table calculation is a Spreadsheet(or functions for it), and the Persentation Module is a PowerPoint-like program.
