So, it works, doesn't it? You need to just calm down, I think. He's free to use his computer how he wants to use it.
Maybe his mind works differently than yours and he thinks of "nSize" as an "object" he can use the mouse to move around and manipulate.
And memorizing the key combo for "build?" I don't know about you, but I only use that combo maybe twice an hour... it doesn't waste a lot of time to click on the build button.
There are disposable keyboard covers for hospitals made from stretchy saranwrap-like material. Any hospital not using these already is stupid, they've been around for years and years.
You could for instance make a cdwriter group and then assign users you want to be able to burn cds to that group. The big difference is that there is no way to really do this in windows. You're either an admin or you're not. Giving someone access to write to a cdrom drive won't allow them to say accidentally install some virus. If they do install some virus, it would be limited to things they have access to.
Oh, come on! The original poster might have been overzealous when pointing out the shortcomings of Linux permissions-wise, but the statement above is blatently untrue. You can set up groups in Windows just the same as in Linux, and you can most certainly give each group whatever strange unique permissions you want to-- both in the filesystem and in the registry.
They could have at least had the common courtesy to name it KHAOS and remind us of Get Smart.
Would you believe that I have a cluster of 60 high-powered night-time computers in this office building? No? Would you believe a Pentium and 10 BaseT network card? No? Would you believe a Commodore PET and a dog?
Tora, Tora, Tora did a hell of a lot better job than Pearl Harbor did, IMO.
What bothered me about Pearl Harbor is that there is already an excellent epic movie about Pearl Harbor... why didn't Michael Bay make his movie specifically about the Doolittle raid which is an interesting historical event that's had very little coverage at movie theaters?
Macs even play pretty much all of the popular PC games these days. Their are a few stragglers who trapped themselves by basing everything on DirectX and similar technologies and used less portable languages but for the most part I can't think of anything I want that is not available.
How about... every single MMORPG except World of Warcraft?
I'll give you this though: MacOS has at least one game in every genre of gaming, except perhaps racing.
Those aren't Microsoft's bugs, those are bugs from third-parties. Just because up until this point, Microsoft has made a policy of fixing bugs in third party software when needed doesn't mean you can blame Microsoft when they stop doing that.
Look, if these programs listed were following Microsoft's recommendations in the first place, they wouldn't be broken now.
Except he's right. Why should his company give away their product for free to a group of people working to create a free replacement to their product? Why should a company contribute to putting itself out of business? Why the hell does OSDN or whoever feel they should be reverse-engineering the product instead of just talking their issues over with BitKeeper?
Look, *I* want to use the iTunes store as is. By fucking with it, you're removing my freedom, not *adding to it!*
If you want to make a music store with no DRM, then go make one. Good luck to you. But don't fuck with other people who have no objections to DRM. Removing the choice to use iTunes is not helping anybody be more "free."
Yeah, no joke. The grandparent doesn't want Flash... that's fine, that's his choice. So why the hell is he posting here on Slashdot that Flash is an abomination that sets fire to babies and turns your brain into pudding? Oh wait, I know why-- it's so he can give everyone his 'holier than thou' speech and how refined and civilized he is, just like those people who LOVE to point out that they don't own a TV.
If you don't want to use it, just don't use it quietly and don't bother the rest of us, ok?
When you download Ad-Block, is there some kind of little cyber-worm that enters your brain and forces you to shill for Ad-Block every time something comes up that's even slightly related to it? Seriously, yes, we all know Ad-Block is the best thing ever, but shut up already.
I know a lot of people don't like it, but I love Megas XLR. Any show with the voice of Bruce Campbell that frequently makes fun of Battle for the Planets is ok by me.
I wish Cartoon Network would show it some love and up their animation budget, though... the animation just looks cheap.
Yes, but that doesn't mean it SHOULD be. Besides, it seems that previous years were a lot less lame than this year... at least previous years had jokes that didn't suck ass. Or mostly didn't suck ass. Not only did all the jokes this year suck ass, but there were like 60 of them posted.
Yes, go to an Apple Store and talk to a human in person face-to-face. Online stores suck for customer service, even Apple's. Always go talk to a human at a brick-and-mortar store.
I'll give you the network shares, but putting folders in the Dock is *not* a replacement for tabbed folders.
I can put my entire HD in a tabbed folder in list view and have instant access to any file on my drive. And the next time that tab pops open, the file list will be exactly where I left it. The Dock lets me open files; the tabbed folder lets me open files as well... OR I can drag new files into it at any level of the hierarchy, OR I can Print documents in there, OR I can delete documents from it. I can make a tabbed folder of aliases, tell Finder to view as 'button view', and have my own launcher instantly. I can put my Control Panels, or System Folder in a tabbed folder to have instant access to Fonts or Extensions or whatever. I can drag a document icon from one tabbed folder into another one.
If you think the Dock is even close to a replacement for tabbed folders, that just shows me that you never used the full power of tabbed folders.

I think you just need to relax.

It's been done for years. The hospital I work at keeps plastic disposable covers over all the keyboards in patient areas.
I'll spoil it for you: Lots of rocks and maybe some frozen gases.
All I need is the feed at 1077theend.com and I'm happy. Here's a direct link: http://cc.liquidviewer.com/entercom/radioPlayer.ph p?ID=6
I was under the impression (from Googling) that MRUs are Windows Explorer Shell extensions, i.e. plugins.

I like Apple's big mean cats naming scheme better, sorry.

MS are talking about dropping support for it entirely.
Where have you seen that? That's news to me...
I'm just getting goddamn sick of seeing two dozen "Ad-Block is my God" posts in all kinds of unrelated topics.
When you download Ad-Block, is there some kind of little cyber-worm that enters your brain and forces you to shill for Ad-Block every time something comes up that's even slightly related to it? Seriously, yes, we all know Ad-Block is the best thing ever, but shut up already.

Thanks. I have a Mac G5 with no PS/2 ports, so I have no choice but to use a USB keyboard.
(That said, I also use USB keyboards on all my PCs... I like to be legacy-free.)
That gadget is actually a really good idea, but they don't have one that supports USB keyboards? Come on, man, get with the times.
