Fantastic

What, no thread for October yet? Who's been slacking?

Thanks for that tip, never knew that existed until now, the interface looks good. I just need something to burn now. ;) I agree, but like you say that is a matter of taste. I haven't had any problems so far, although I don't use KDE much.

Yeah, he sure is.

I reckon AussieJohn could be able to help you it.

It's COLOUR

# As per usual you will get numerous people signing up for it, get the release early and then forget the rest of you, as you try to leech onto the few honest early seeders doing as they promised. Great idea (yes I did just give praise in Mandriva's general direction, but please don't tell the world ;)), but abused by far too many people, which is quite sad!

I imagine they would, Fedoa 8 isn't due for release until 8/11/07.

Wierd, from what I heard it was a modded version of OpenOffice.org, shouldn't that much of a resource hog, or is it? :unsure: Another point to note is that it is still a beta.

Just a week later IBM and Openoffice.org are back in the news: http://www.news.com/IBM+to+offer+office+so...ml?tag=nefd.top

I disagree, it is a good practice for people that are in business to use an auto responder. In many cases it is not reasonable for them to furnish all of their (numerous?) customers, suppliers, and other affected stakeholders with this information beforehand. There's nothing rude about clearly stating to the sender why you will not be attending to their email in good time, it is very good communication, it would be very rude not to, ignorant, maybe.

I'm with this guy in this one:

Sounds like a familiar problem try adding "forcedeth" to /etc/modprobe.preload

I also agree with Dexter, it is another attempt at maintaining their (illegal?!) monopoly. They are trying to control too many aspects of the software market in a way that is not healthy for end users IMHO. What can i say, old habits die hard!

In addition, drawing a table with a GUI is a lot quicker than hand coding it. Personally I like to use WYSIWYG to lay out the basics, then tweak and validate the code after.

I would have to throw caution in to the wind here, from what I have been told Nvu is ridden with bugs, Kompozer tries to fix as many of them as possible.

Signed it a while back, although I am a bit skeptical of how effective it will be though.

The whole iPlayer is starting to become a bit of a joke, yet another waste of licence payers money.

SAN FRANCISCO—Windows Vista has probably created the single biggest opportunity for the Linux desktop to take market share, Cole Crawford, an IT strategist at Dell, said in an address titled, "The Linux Desktop—Fact, FUD or Fantasy?" at the annual LinuxWorld Conference & Expo here. For example, a number of companies have moved back to Windows XP after deploying Vista, Crawford said, before quoting Scott Granneman, an author, entrepreneur and adjunct professor at Washington University in St. Louis, as saying, "To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just have to work on it."

It was an opinion based on what facts that have been presented and my understanding of the relevant business process. For any manager incomplete information is a fact of life, people make criticisms with incomplete information all the time, I wouldn't be the first, nor the last. There's my justification. BTW, who was I meant to ask, Mandriva? Don't think so, they don't have a habit of communicating effectively (AdamW aside) with their stakeholders unless it is in their interest to do so (i.e. Euro's), otherwise they are not interested, that is well evident if you look at their forum (with the odd whine here for good measure). Anyway good discussion

Did you note the word "potentially"? If mistakes are made, questions have to be answered, in terms of management that action s well justified.

Feel free to disagree with me, but please do not tell me that my opinion is wrong, that is not for you to decide. Not at all, the reengineering exercise merged responsibilities and created greater burdens on individual staff, only so much of that can be delegated to the community for various reasons, plus with the additional burden of managing the increased community involvement. It's not a simple matter of equating the decrease in staff with the increase in community involvement as you bluntly put it.

Business processes go far beyond retail boxes. The point is that if they chose to involve the community, they need to manage it, otherwise community mistakes like this could potentially be embarrassing for the business. Mandriva's recent business process reengineering will bring up more instances like this as they increased the burden on current staff and introduced heavier involvement from the community, both very risky. I will be watching with the I just stole from spinynorman :D

I tried the CD, I agree that it is very buggy, didn't see much in the way of significant UI improvements other than the deskbar applet, which was broken for me.
