girls and cookies!
After selecting the 'Scroll Lock' option I discovered that my keyboard (logitech wireless EX110) doesn't have one...
The most useless *feature* of any keyboard is the absence of a LED indicator for Insert mode.
But that will void your warranty!
Sorry, English is not my first language and I already thought that I didn't use the right word. I even used my dictionary, but to no avail.
If the law states that there should be a 'view but not save/copy/print' right (like here in the Netherlands), how could you enforce that *and* be truly open source? You have to certificate each and every release of the full software on a source code level (and provide authorization based on the (i.e.) md5 sum of the executable) to enforce such rights. One simple edit & recompile and you can save/print those x-ray pics, which is against the law.
At the very least, forking, maintaining your own version and fixing bugs for your (employer's) own use is either impossible or very expensive.
With ever-increasing JavaScript performance, there's a lot of cpu power available for cracking passwords and captcha's... Just include the code in an ad and you're done. No tricky installs needed, just the idletime of the user's web browser.
And, more important, better suited to Tech Support. How does one explain to a user which button to click when the user could have configured his desktop so much that nothing is where it used to be?
Oh, and I use GNOME (when I'm using Linux) because it's much, much easier on the eyes and because it's what it needs to be, part of the Operating System, that part of the computer that needs to be as invisible and unobtrusive as possible so I can get my stuff done. I don't need to have full configurability, I'd rather have some experts figure out what's the most efficient user interface. I don't know that, I only know what I'm used to. It took me three months to get used to OS X before I realized how smooth it really works when you're used to it.
...or just make it a separate country so you guys don't have to fly half way round the earth to attack a religious extremist country that happens to float on oil.
In the end, management decides what software will be used. And you know how long it took before they took Linux seriously...
USB 6.0: God-speed
Because the Second Coming will be Real Soon Now (tm), while USB 6.0 will take more than three Real Soon Now (tm)'s...
This shows where Linux is nowadays. It took literally years before USB1 was even supported and now Intel uses Linux to prove USB3's performance!
To do nothing is to be nothing.
