bordeless white windows! give me back my supported office and outlook 1997! (i m now on a higly customisable linux, with libreoffice, web-teams, a windows vm for unsupported old software, won t hide the fact most hw vendors dont care and you need to debug stupid bugs still present since 1999...)

i agree. i think the win2k or winxp gui was fanrastic, simple direct, couple of clicks and your choices were done. i dont understand the win7 and later fame: mixed configuration (old/new style) and worse:a left click+properties is replaced by a white borderless book you have to read to know what option you are looking for. let s go back to the simple win2k mznus,i dont understand the need for this fusiness.

i just hope the market is evolving: microsoft locked in most businnesses and gvnmnts. but i think of geeks, students, some workforce: devops is finally turning windows away(hope). i think that s why they are shimiking to embrace open source,embracing with WSL. but they are as usual, trying to lock in further like apple in braindead new releases. now is not the same public. it s time to go to a better future, do everything we can to improve the future of our kids, limiting the catastrophic economy we are in.... so much to share.. this should n t be one $company. Time to improve: please stop making an os a product of locking systems or fake marketing. improve you business model!

you don't need to restart linux,

just ctrl-alt-backspace, wait for the swap to be annihilated & re-login

Hey! i was in that case, but later: used a 486 (i think it was DX2-66Mhz?) as router with dialup, when it wasn't connected it acted as a BBS

So it was not "on demand" internet, but still ppp connection, with a 14k4 modem (got one of those to replace a 2400bauds, that was a real pita =) )

Anyway, i didn't know enough of linux those days, and thought it was required to recompile the kernel (iirc it was a redhat 5), to enable the gateway/routing feature.

All i can say: after 24H of compile, you notice you forgot some option
and there you go again for another 24H....

Now i've grown up & live with a standard kernel, only compile it when really needed for debugging purposes or so

haven't you read the EULA?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S for 2 weeks, experienced the same problem, it happened when receiving an incomming call while ending the previous one, after that, couldn't hear anything through the hear-speaker until reboot.

Not even the 'number called' tone

i bought the orange box on ps3, so, does this mean i'll be able to play portal, hl, or whatever comes out on linux?

the update is not required to play online games, there are several ways to bypass the firmware check, and it's quite easy to do actually (mainly changing the dns server for the ps3)

just google for it if you need it

That's where the hack comes in: it breaks the hypervisor and give you access to all of the ps3.

The only thing being done as today is to flash a a new 'theme' in the original flash of the ps3 through the other os.

would you do the same thing to ask for games that run under linux?

This is nonsense, $$$ is the mighty word, no letters/mails will change that. But in the case of linux, it's even worse: they don't dare/invest porting games to linux, and don't talk to me about games that are 5 years old.

In the mean time, i got a ps3, never played & bought so many games these last 2 years than in my whole life.
