Fascinating.
That they go to such a great length to not disclose their documentation in a way that woul enable competitors to compete on a level playing field just shows that abusing their...
What do you mean by overtake? (Quality? Quantity? Good press?)?
What erea are you talking about? Desktops (in companies, for gamers, for grandma, for ...?)? Servers? (Mail, Web, directory,...?)?...
Where did I say I want to measure it in lines of code?
I said it was essential to Linux distribuitons, how is this measuring in lines of code?
And btw., I'm really getting tired of you not being...
Nice start.
Just claiming that there is no single truth to it doesn't make it so, I'm afraid. Looking at any Linux distro you'll easily see that the all rely heavily on GNU sofware.
Just for...
Thanks a lot jesusjimenez, that did it.
After linking the libs to /usr/lib (note if anyone want to try it, you'll find them in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/ and the second lib is called libxpcom.so in...
Nope, all you said was "but it runs on Linux", which has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.
Which is fine. I had only hoped you'd also tell me why.
If you read my post again, you'd see I didn't say the were the same, but pointed out why they were similar.
No, I won't.
Yep
Yep

And what does this have to do with my points?
Oh, nothing.
Nice talking to you anyway.
First off and I hope you don't get me wrong, this is the reason why you should always make a backup before you edit an important file (belief me, I know what I'm talking about...)
About your...
Oh, but you are.
If you are using OO for .doc files you do of course help the MS monopoly when it comes to office suits, because people will still be convinced it is some kind of standard (you know,...
No they don't. That why people use, you know, uhm, wine...
That's why wine still exists and why we are having this nice little thread here...
Yea man, and if you want to use Linux and just need to run some win software use wine....
Anyway, no wine here. I simply don't need it, but it's great that it's there.
Linux: This is what happens to you if you have geek friends. :D
I just started to play around with it to try it out and before I knew it, I was really enjoying myself and felt at home. As...
I really wanted to keep out of this fun emerging flamewar, but I just have to comment now.
Nobody claims that propietary software has to be crap from a functional standpoint. That is, there is of...

Hi, first off, looks like a great app.
But I'm having some problems getting it to work.
The first problem is that it depends on mozilla-dev, while stuff on breezy is normally compiled against...
First off, calm down. This is just a stupid forum discussion.
No, it isn't. In fact there is no linux way and claiming that the things you don't like are the linux way is very unfriendly towards...

See, you do it again. He is not the bad minority, he's simply a guy expressing his opinion on a public forum. Now instead of addressing his point, you come out and scream that he is giving linux a...
Ops, I must note have gotten the notice that the opinion of one linux users is equivalent to the opinion of all linux users...
