or install the autopager add on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/492 ... and adblock to remove the ads and the clicks - TheAuditor, on 03/31/2009, -3/+30I HATE PAGINATION!!!!!!!!!
- anexanhume, on 03/31/2009, -7/+326 pages and ads everywhere. Buried.
- taketheleap, on 03/31/2009, -0/+17Of the 990 pixels you have for layout, only ~200 of them are used for the ACTUAL page content?!
As a web designer, I just died a little inside. - MrJagil, on 03/31/2009, -5/+16OpenOffice is the ***** best thing ever. I love it so much. I get to use software that is not created by some multi-billion corporation (word) and it even works better! Can't wait for 3.1! Spread it!
Aside from that, what a ***** layout. - Samurai77, on 03/31/2009, -0/+10Quit jerking me around with Samba 4 and release a stable version, I've waited so long....
- inactive, on 03/31/2009, -0/+7support GNU
- hawksfan03, on 03/31/2009, -0/+7firefox, chrome, dojo, moonlight, dimdim, should I keep listing them?
- TheJayman, on 03/31/2009, -0/+6Going through the pages wasn't that cool, but it had a lot of good information about projects that I didn't know about. I will digg it!
- PhonicUK, on 03/31/2009, -2/+8Forgot about the OpenPandora? http://www.openpandora.org
Open source hand held linux based games device :) - nova_sys_eng, on 03/31/2009, -0/+6use print view
(and quit yelling) - flintmecha, on 03/31/2009, -1/+6Ads? Where?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/186 ... - flintmecha, on 03/31/2009, -2/+7"25 highly anticipated open-source releases coming this year ... By Esther Schindler"
So this is the new Schindler's List? - nullity, on 03/31/2009, -0/+5just like nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Solved. - fandyllic, on 03/31/2009, -0/+4Ironically, print view should have pagination and reading view shouldn't... unless you have one of those old dot-matrix printers with the big roll of perforated paper.
So using print view is a stupid suggestion. - inactive, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3Not to mention that Mac users can use Linux software thanks to X11.
- Vindicoth, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3These guys don't even know how to write a list.
- inactive, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3Yes, I've used it. It doesn't work great for everything but I don't have complaints. Thanks for the list of alternatives, btw.
- inactive, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3...
no - fandyllic, on 03/31/2009, -3/+6OpenOffice is weak. It is slow as molasses, not very stable, and quite buggy.
That said, anything that helps avoid MS products is generally a good thing. - hacktolive, on 03/31/2009, -0/+3I'm hearing a bunch of "Jaunty Jackalopes" running your way...
- Jektal, on 03/31/2009, -2/+4Will it sync to my Phantom console?
- mobling, on 03/31/2009, -2/+4Every time someone visits a Computerworld web page, another web programmer dies.
- Jektal, on 03/31/2009, -1/+3Their chief weapon is freedom! Freedom and open-source. Open-source and freedom... Their two weapons are open-source and freedom... and community support. Their three weapons are open-source, freedom, and community support! ... and an almost fanatical devotion to Torvalds! Their four... No... Amongst their weapons... Amongst their weaponry are such elements as freedom... I'll come in again.
- LostSoul83, on 03/31/2009, -0/+1I'm hoping we get to see Wine 1.2 this year.
- emkaysmith, on 03/31/2009, -1/+2It's a toss-up between paging through something and having to scroll down a very, very long page. Unless, of course, you have a monitor that's 12" wide and 48" tall?
- williepepper, on 03/31/2009, -1/+2WTF, a link to a link and that's a story?
- anexanhume, on 03/31/2009, -0/+1Some people post from work instead of doing constructive things.
- BMcClure937, on 03/31/2009, -0/+1I second that!
- mrBitch, on 04/01/2009, -0/+1And Zenoss is available for a wide variety of Linux distro and Mac OS X flavours...
- inactive, on 03/31/2009, -0/+1Damnit nobody care about red5
- leastresistance, on 03/31/2009, -1/+1The Zenoss beta for 2.4 has already started: http://www.zenoss.com/beta/2.4/
- Rajtilak, on 03/31/2009, -2/+2Arrrrrggggh! Was it ads or the story I don't know, but I got too tired half way through the list.
- nix64, on 04/01/2009, -0/+0Has computerworld *ever* updated their site's design?
- diggymow, on 04/01/2009, -1/+1Seriously though Open Office sucks. Just because it's FOSS doesn't mean you have to suck it off.
- makatak62, on 04/01/2009, -0/+0Pretty good article; although agree with others about the amount of extraneous text and images on the page
- GamerXR72, on 03/31/2009, -3/+2buried emkaysmith for whining.
- anexanhume, on 03/31/2009, -4/+3Yes, that's all true. Buried for disagreeing with me.
- inactive, on 03/31/2009, -6/+4it is not.
- inactive, on 03/31/2009, -2/+0Dugg for Ubuntu 9.04 and Openoffice.
- fandyllic, on 03/31/2009, -5/+1Have you ever used X11 stuff on a Mac? It's lame. Better than having to pay for it in some cases, but still lame.
Quick2822 will get buried for offending the Linux fanbois, but the statement is accurate.
Also, most of the things listed by hawksfan03 have either no news or are linux-specific optimizations:
- Firefox improvements are not OS specific is good.
- Chrome: non-news and no details
- Dojo: Mac OS X version of shrinksafe is well behind (0.1.0 vs 1.3.0)
- From the moonlight website:
* To run Silverlight applications on Linux.
* To provide a Linux SDK to build Silverlight applications.
* To reuse the Silverlight engine we have built for desktop applications.
So from that we have Firefox and Dimdim. Wow 2 whole things out of 25. Yes, you should keep listing them. - lilykudrow, on 03/31/2009, -6/+1Microsoft Shows Open Source a Little Love :)
Linux Kernel 2.6.28 Is Out, Supports Ext4
I have found some interesting info here.
http://www.techunits.com/programming/list/open%20s ... - emkaysmith, on 03/31/2009, -12/+4So, . . . I guess you don't read newspapers or magazines, you don't listen to radio or watch TV, you don't frequent Google or Yahoo or Amazon? Because they all have ads. Would you rather have to pay an admission fee to every large website you visit? Most of us learned how to ignore advertising, to *bleep* right over it, when we were about three years old.
/buried for whining - Ghostsfp, on 03/31/2009, -8/+1nobody anticipates open source software
- Quick2822, on 03/31/2009, -11/+2If you're a Windows/Mac user, not much to see here.
- WomensUnderwear, on 03/31/2009, -12/+2openoffice is ***** *****
