Comment Re:Open office (Score 1) 505

That's it.

I'd love to use linux in my Desktop and apart from the Office Suite, in my case, I know I could use linux the whole day at work. But with Libre/Open Office is impossible.

The very simple reason that the documents you receive does not even still look the same as the original, it's something a manager of a company can not tolerate.

I'm not at all an Apple lover, I'm even one of those that for any reason would use an iPhone and I've sticked to Andorid, but I have to admit that my life is easier since I've got a Macbook pro. I'd love to use a Linux instead, I mean it, but at work I simply can not.

Comment Nokia? (Score 1) 68

Will nokia try Tizen? I'm just wondering myself. I think they should, according to big fail of the Lumia.

Anyway, they've been changing OSs almost yearly in the last 5 years.

It's not hate, it's being realistic.

If this "news" where about a group of students that, for a homework did that driver, that can considered brilliant.

But how can someone expect that we should praise this that works only "if you don't care about performance or are fine with running hardware that's a few generations old.".

Not disrespecting the people working on this, but in the real world, this is not practical at all. Stable: maybe; but incomplete for sure.

I wanted to talk more about that they think that non believers just want to show off themselves as non believers. Like if it was a cool thing only.

In your point of view, which I agree 100% too, they even feel pity for non believers. I know people that get too sad of knowing that some of their friends are going to hell and they can not do anything about it.

Absolutely.

Religious people for example, think that non-believers are just pretending that they don't believe in god but they think is obvious that everyone believes.

And please, don't complain with them about that.

Comment The advantages of pencil, paper, handwriting, etc. (Score 1) 37

I'm not a school teacher, but I think there are many advantages when children learn how to write with their own hands.

The way we face math problems drawing and sketching things is not an ability just to solve math problems. We developed a way to think and then show our ideas for others to understand.

I think it's a phenomenal idea to have "Computer Class" some hours every week, but make the education system around computers is absurd.

Comment Fiber to the home (Score 1) 146

(Even if I do not know why/how this news with almost no specific fact at all hit /.) if true, this is not threat for LTE: it is a real competitor of GPON and all FTTH technologies.

And I don't mean achieving 30Gbps: A technology that can deliver, let's say, good/sustained 150Mbps in the air for a home user, would kill all fiber project being developed nowadays.

Comment Missing my n900 (Score 1) 447

When I owned a n900, it seemed like the first step to a great Nokia future, replacing Symbian with Maemo.

Having a n900 was a weird experience: the lack of apps created one of the best communities for an Open Source project. I really enjoyed talk.maemo.org forum. People helping each other, speeding up the OS, patching, etc.

And then what? Nokia moved to Windows? Really? WHY? Maemo was excellent. Yes, we all knew it was unfinished, but it definitely had a future.

The only good thing about this Nokia situation is that Economy Schools in the Universities can analyze the case as an example of what NOT to do with a company.
