Re:Sheesh
I actually had a computer game do that. It was a stratego game, and I had reduced the computer to only a flag. No bombs, no other pieces, just a (supposedly) immobile flag. And the computer would move it like it was any other piece.

Omnibot 2000
I wonder why they didn't compare the Aibo to the Omnibot2000... well I don't really wonder why, but anyways. TOMY made an Omnibot 2000 that is just as rare as the Aibo.. of course it doesn't have the same market value.. goes for about $250 on ebay.
I couldn't find anything about it on TOMY's website.. but here are some links with info about it.. soon to be dead links I am sure.

KDE Aqua Theme

Re:The future of *nix Desktops
I've used the GNOME panel - I like it, but in my experience (from versions
.66 to 1.0.53) it's never been quite stable and it hasn't always reacted as expected- if I start Sawmill and then the panel, half of the time GNOME-pager complains that I'm not running a GNOME-compliant window manager. I like the panel's functionality- when I use GNOME, I have a vertical bar in the upper right, a horizontal bar in the lower right, and a single button Menu launcher (with the foot icon) in the lower left corner. It's great- but I run KDE2 almost all of the time now, because it offers (to me) everything that I need from a desktop.
That doesn't mean it's perfect, but it works well enough. The pixmap themes are more stable (and leak one hell of a lot less memory) than the GTK+ equivalents, and it's relatively straightforward to convert a GTK theme to a KDE2 one. I've done so at my web page and you can see that although it's not *quite* the same, it works and it looks a lot better than the default settings.
Anyway, back to your post. Everything in Kicker, the new KDE panel for KDE2, is also an applet- and there's a nice structure and backbone provided for building your own custom applets with it. However, I like it relatively simple, so I leave well enough alone. However, I am most impressed by Konqueror, the new KDE file manager/everything browser. Somebody pointed out that you can coax Explorer into doing some of the things Konqi does (automatic embedding of document views, like a Word doc or a KWord doc [in konq's case]) but you can't do the frames! Once you actually see the frame action working, you'll switch back.... ; )
Or not. But that's why choice is good, no? : ) -

Probably too late to get noticed...
But I've put up a theme for KDE2 at my web site for anyone with KDE2 to check out. Also, I've got screenshots of what my desktop looks like while running it (yeah, it's not perfect yet- so sue me.

Re:damn these web filters! (mirror posted)
Here ya go: -
More Screenshots
That site seems to be slashdotted already, but there are some more screenshots here: http://www.inficad.com/~nytehorse/
-
more screenshots!
There are more screenshots of the KDE browser available here. Looks good, though I have no idea how it compares to Mozilla, for I've only run Mozilla...

Re:Choices, not Wars
Trust me, buddy- it is sweet... and if you'd like to see some more pics of it (with different styles and rendering different pages) then go to my web page to check it out. This really could be the "Next Big Thing (TM)"... ftp, pdf, txt, and html in the same window at the same time. What isn't to like? Oh, did i mention it works? FAST?
-
Konqueror screenshots...
Well, I'm sorry that Roblimo didn't find more but I've got some more (well, quite a few more) over at my web site. Be gentle, guys- please? They're
here. Enjoy! -
Not just a web browser - and more screenshots
Konqueror isn't just a web browser, konq is what Microsoft's IE intergration/COM should be. Using the new Canossa(sp?) component API, I believe Konqueror is able to browse and/or render filesystems, samba shares, web pages, postscript, dvi, pdf, and plaintext. Given the rapid pace of development there's probably even one or two more by now.
What this topic should be is "khtml", KDE's html widget code which in this case is acting as a Konqueror component. Here's some more screenshots, displaying its current rendering ability...

Why all the fuss about Mozilla?We've got nothing for a decent browser, you guys. What we've got is crashy, unstable, and memory-hogging. The best available browser I think would be Netscape 3.0. I can't find a version of that, btw; anybody got one I can download? But there are several really promising things coming along, good things. Netscape 4.x is dead and dying; 4.61 crashes quite frequently here, even with Java and Javascript disabled. But I'm hedging my bets with another crowd, one who I have lots of trust in and one who keeps bringing us lots and lots of useful, user-friendly software to make Linux/*nix look good.
"Who is this band of rogues?" I hear you asking. Why, it's none other than the KDE team! They're not only producing a browser that is HTML 4.0-compliant (a la Mozilla) but they're also adding support for *crucial* modern features like Java/javascript. For pictures of their sweet, dear Konqueror, then click here. The Konqueror is truly the next generation, my friends- it's like IE for Linux. Only faster, better, and quite simply, much much prettier. It renders Slashdot correctly (hooray!) as well as needed sites. Don't believe me? Go on, check out my screenshots. They haven't been doctored, although I could have (quite easily, I might add....) with the GIMP.
Interesting features of the Konqueror include:
- File manager/Web browser: It manages your files (like Explorer) but with more functionality and faster speed. And new features get hacked in all the time- right now, it can render directories with files, web pages, *.pdf/*.ps documents, and textfiles.
- Frame-based interface: Also works well as an FTP/Gopher client; you can browse the web in a frame while remotely browsing an FTP server and your local disk. Click on a remote file, drag it into the frame showing your local files, and let go. What happens? The file automatically starts to download. No kidding. All in the same browser window!
- Open source: It's still under the GPL.
In short, support KDE! Help them out too. Just because they don't have quite as much publicity as the Mozilla project... well, their product is competitive as far as rendering speed goes. (based on speculation/personal opinion; last Mozilla build I tried was M10, and I know stuff has happened since then...) - File manager/Web browser: It manages your files (like Explorer) but with more functionality and faster speed.

Re:USB support
Perhaps it's time to update your kernel; USB support in 2.2.10 is much more complete than in previous versions.
