Living Room / Re: Will you miss newspapers when they're gone?
« Last post by Tuxman on March 06, 2010, 01:06 PM »
I find it appropriate.  :P
(EDIT: Josh, ehm, WTF? What was "fanboyish" here? Fanboy of what?!)

My feed reader is currently watching dozens of weblogs, three German news magazines and some more. A good configuration for being informed, I think.

Daily newspapers are, basically, pointless when you have internet, but weekly magazines are still important.  :)

Does anyone here have a Slashdot account and post a link to this discussion there? I actually don't want to register.  :)

Hm, before it is actually started, the installer already creates registry keys.  :D

(Just tested it: HKCU/Software/KMPlayer is created before actually doing anything in the wizard!)

OOo is slow, clunky and bloated.
-f0dder (February 22, 2010, 12:55 AM)
So is MSO.  8)

As for the ribbon, have you actually tried using it, or are you just jumping onto the anti-anything-new bandwagon?
-f0dder (February 22, 2010, 12:55 AM)
"Know your enemy". Tried it for about 10 minutes, laughed and closed it. Seriously, this might be neat for rather inexperienced users; for me, it is not. I can see the benefits because the bars have names now, but I also see that it eats productivity by shrinking your screen; not to mention that it does not even fit into any OS's GUI.

I have been an MSO user for years ('95 - 2003), maybe this is another reason why I prefer the good old way. Small buttons, no screen waste, no buttons for very, very blind people, only pure productivity.

(The ~ three seconds OO.org needs to load are OK for me.)

Find And Run Robot / Suggestion: Disable FARR when another software is running in the foreground
« Last post by Tuxman on February 21, 2010, 10:21 PM »
I just thought it would be nice to be able to define a few apps that "disable" FARR while they are running, like a game that uses keys associated with FARR or something. As it does not seem that there is an option to do that, I post it as a suggestion here.  :D

OpenOffice.org is free software, supporting free standards and still usable without any "ribbon" things that waste your screen space. Why Microsoft Office? A really good question indeed!

Is it available before actually having to start it?

The "problem" with the KMPlayer is that it tends to pollute the registry. (To be honest: I haven't checked it for a few months now, but I really doubt that this has changed since then.)

Hmm, Winamp?
For Linux there might be some other players which do these things. What about Amarok?

General Software Discussion / Re: Why the aversion to .NET Frameworks?
« Last post by Tuxman on February 20, 2010, 11:01 PM »
C# is Microsoft's approach to create a language which should depend on a multi-MB virtual machine (like Java), require declarations for redundant things (like Java) and result in sluggish bloatware (like Java). They succeeded indeed.

I like C++, it is (basically) platform-independent and you can do almost anything with it.  :-*

it hasn't really been widely publicized

IIRC there was some advertisement for Ubiquity a while ago. But I might be wrong as well.

The FileMenu Tools don't do that automatically, but I forgot about them, indeed... maybe I'll consider them then. Any more ideas?  :)

Only in order to avoid having to open a new topic:

another option is Mmm free. http://hace-software.com/mmm.shtml
-lanux128 (October 12, 2009, 10:21 PM)
MMM+ is fine, automatically keep the context menu bloat-free... is there a free application which can do that (and is, optionally, still developed)?

They forgot to mention Vim and Emacs. Again.
