  3. Re:EU hates Microsoft? on EU Prepared to Fine Microsoft $2.5 Million Per Day · · Score: 1

    How will the EU's infrastructure collaps when we don't have a software standard that "most of the world uses"? A bit contradictive don't you think?
    Besides - ofcourse the EU have a software standard that complys with the rest of the computerized world. We have laws and regulations though and if you're doing business here you are expected to follow them.

  4. "But it's not free.." on Browsers Fighting to Keep up with the Web · · Score: 2, Informative

    As an Opera user (both in win and linux) I ask this alot.. and believe it or not but many people still think that Opera is not free. That the free version still has ads. That is the #1 reply I get when I try to get people to try out Opera.

  5. Free communicating with GPRS on Plain Cell Phones Fading Away? · · Score: 1

    I have a nokia 3650 and I love it.
    I use it for sending emails, chatting on icq and aim. Sometimes I'm idling on irc with it.
    I hardly ever make phonecalls on it, that's way too expensive. I pay a fixed rate for GPRS so I use icq / aim as my main way of communicating, since it's "free", i e i don't pay anything extra for it.
    People should start realizing that this is the way to go. There are free icq/aim clients and even irc nowadays. To be honest, I'd even pay a few dollars for such clients.

  7. Re:Nice to see... on LG CD-ROMs Destroyed by Mandrake 9.2 · · Score: 1

    Seriously, my wife has gone through 4 LG flip phones in the past two years - most of the problems stem from a really crappy design of the hinge - they keep breaking. Ever thought that the problem might be your wife and not the cellphones?

    There is a word for that - sweatshop.

    You can purchase this casemod from ThinkGeek.
    It's been available there for some time now..

  11. Kylix on GUI Toolkits for the X Window System · · Score: 1

    My opinion is that Borland Kylix is underestimated as a RAD tool. It's absolutely brilliant as long as you can stay with c++ and qt. Look at the open version Kylix Open.

  12. Re:Maybe... on Window Managers for High Resolution Displays? · · Score: 1

    I have looked into lazer surgery a bit, but it's out of the question at the moment. I don't live in the US, so in order to get a surgery for my eyes, i'd have to do it abroad plus pay for it myself.
    My hope is in the future. =)

  13. Re:Maybe... on Window Managers for High Resolution Displays? · · Score: 1

    I have to say that I find that remark quite offensive.
    I'm very near-sighted and have worn glasses since the age of three. I wear contacts at work (I do not work with computers) and I wear my glasses at home, especially in front of the computer, because the lenses make my eyes dry up. My glasses are those kind that people like to call "coca cola bottles". I have -14 Diopters on one eye and -21 on the other. The big difference between the eyes makes it impossible to fully compensate the lens/glasses strength for both eyes simultaniously.
    Believe me when I say I've had my share of being made fun of.
    Here is a good introduction regarding myopia (near-sightedness).

    Text size in the windowmanager or windows itself are fairly easy to get bigger. It is quite different when it comes to websites. I use small text on my own website, but with mozilla's minimum font setting that is no problem. As long as the site don't break up too much when increasing the font, all is ok.

  14. Re:IANAA on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 1

    As far as I know and have been able to confirm, the fiscal year differs from country to country, see list, and it is not up to the company.

  15. Re:About ISOs on First Look At SuSE Linux 8.2 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    SuSE does not provide iso images of their distros.

    There are iso's available for their Live Eval distros though, but that's not quite the same thing, as they are run directly from the bootable CD, and not installed on the harddrive.

    I personally always make an ftp installation, as that options fits me best.

    You can read about the installation options here: SuSE Linux Download

  17. Re:I wonder who the investor is? on Miguel de Icaza Quits Day Job · · Score: 1

    Hmmmm, to expand on theory 1 a bit; perhaps Transmeta is working on a new chip and a new OS...and need Miguel for the GUI...
    Theory 2 would be a blast though, wouldn't it ;-)

    We'll just have to wait and see I guess.
