  1. OpenOffice install freezes on Linux on OpenOffice.org Team Releases Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Anyone experience this? I've installed OpenOffice and SOT Office and both times they freeze my system when it comes to the Component registration section.

  2. Re:Microsoft's new temp rules: bad for business on Microsoft Settles 'Permatemp' Case For $97 Million · · Score: 1

    I'm currently a permatemp at Microsoft doing product support for FrontPage 2000. I've seen a lot of very competent people leave after 100 days.
    M$ has to spend money brining in new temps and sending them through training and such.

    As far as I'm concerned, this is very bad for business. If you have a permatemp that is kicking ass at what they do, hire them! At least you can bring people in on a probationary basis and have them proove themselves.

    Hopefully, we'll have the negative income tax soon for temps. :)

    Now, now, little boy, I don't think the Second Amendment has anything to with copyright laws.

  4. Re:Waited so long... on KDE 2.0 Final Released · · Score: 1

    I'll add my greetings as well. Happy Birthday! Enjoy KDE 2! :)

  5. Re:Pathetic software on Free Realtime Video Editing for Linux · · Score: 1

    Well, you obviously don't know what the bloody f**k you're talking about.

    I've used Photoshop 5 for a while, and it's a slug. I can do a lot in the GIMP that Photoshop can do. You obvioulsy haven't made the effort.

    NOT A LOAN????

    Can you expound upon this, please?

  8. Re:Public school history is false on Congressman Advocates Breaking-Up a Guilty MS · · Score: 1

    Well, if you're dumb enough to believe that, you'll believe everything. Unrestrained capitalism works??? Puhleeze! Spare us the Ayn Rand psychoses!

  9. Revoke Microsoft's corporate charter on Congressman Advocates Breaking-Up a Guilty MS · · Score: 1

    I don't think breaking up Microsoft is an appropriate solution. Rather, their corporate charter should be revoked and their assets handed over to the Free Software Foundation. :)

  10. Re:welfare state on Sony founder Akio Morita dead at age 78 · · Score: 1

    So what if some welfare state gets a cut? The founder of Sony doesn't have a need for it now. Besides, it'll go to the welfare state for the rich in the form of industrial subsidies, tax breaks for millionaires, etc. I don't think hungry children will see a dime of it. All you need to do is read Noam Chomsky and see what I mean (http://www.zmag.org/chomsky)
