Sounds like you're the joke. Why would you uninstall something that is already paid for and running on the system? If anything you could have installed OOo next to MS Office while accounting maybe transitioned into it. And your the tech guy? Taking advice from a friend that works at Best Buy? niicee...

Part of the big deal about a Google phone is that is syncs with Google (you can always turn that off and use your own or a hosted Funambol server to sync using their client apps). Whatever your using for calendar/contacts (Outlook?) -- just sync that to Google (online services). OTOH it is pretty silly that the Behold doesn't have bluetooth.

correction: article = OP

there, fixed that for ya.

Well... stop that!! J/P you obviously have a lot more experience than I do but honestly I don't think thats needed anymore. I simply keep my /home partition on a separate partition (run "rm -rf .*" before starting your new install if you really want to start fresh). Then format every partition but the "/home" in the graphical (or even command line -- which still kinda looks like a graphical interface -- just blockier) installer and 20 minutes later you got a full linux desktop. In your /home directory keep a file of all the applications you've installed and run 'sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install (copy n paste the programs)'... your done. Might actually take about an hour to download and install everything but you only sat at your desk for ~10 minutes for the whole thing.

I now have the opposite problem of this article... I have trouble finding all free tools for what I need in Windows.

I honestly had the same reaction as TooMuch... when I read:

Then I saw the username and realized that her training is just going well. You shall surely make a manly dike happy one day.

All at a price that no one can beat...

... or pay, i mean.

Thanks for the warning.. I was trying to install it using Wine.

Yea the "Despite this minor detail" which is EVERYTHING the entire campaign was about is pretty funny.

Exactly the type of shit my boss would do. ItWasn't a holiday weekend or anything like that so I didn't mind too much, plus I would just use the opportunity to smoke blunts in my office while I work. I'm the only programmer in my company (with help from a designer and IT guy for Exchange and handling the desktops) so he wouldn't say anything about my coding, just change plans that would be a total 360 programming wise and have absolutely no shame when I point out that the site had previously worked the way he just said but we had scrapped it completely because he wanted to follow the Amazon cart or whatever his new site for that week is. Or I love it when he's sitting behind me just watching me program as if he knows WTF I'm doing, as I hard-code some dirty shit just so he can see a change on the screen and leave me the fuck alone.

How do they know that you "live" there... and how do they know for how long? How do they know you didn't stay in that country/state for 2 month and 29 days then went back to the original location where you received the license and came back? I mean unless the police know you in the area -- how would they know (checking your passport maybe, but are you required to carry that and show it to local law)?

Just curious, because in the US we have similar laws. If I move I must change the address on my license within only a month I think -- needless to say I still have my parents address on my license but have not lived there for over 5 years. I haven't changed it mostly because its a pain in the ass to change and super easy to just re-register using the same information.

If you are only using it internally (like for a server hosting your website - as we do at my job) I do not think you need to supply any source code, the business is using it for itself. Once you start distributing that software outside of your business to customers or business customers thats when the rules start to kick in. I could be wrong but that's how I interpret the GPL (and have heard of it interpreted/explained).

you can get Netbooks now a days for $199 + 2 year contract. Still I would say its a waste, get a smart phone so you can tether to your laptop.

No. But if you got a new number from Google and are forwarding it to your cellphone, expect a few "wrong #s" calling as it was probably someone else's # before you.

It's better to get another # anyway and simply set up your cell phone # to forward the voicemail to the Google voice. #440#*then-the-number (or something like that) on t-mobile (google it). Instead of going to your t-mo voicemail it will forward to your google voice for voicemail. I use that on my G1 so I can pay for the lower plan (only 400 texts) and make people text me on my GV# but they can call either # and it all goes to 1 voicemail. I'm planning on switching to Verizon on the 6th when the Droid comes out, I'm not sure if Verizon will allow this though (and I'm hoping Jesus Freke gets one too so I can root it ASAP, lol).
