Feature Preview of Gnome 2.8

Leonardo writes "The GNOME foundation should release the new version of this desktop environment on the 15th of September. While we waiting for version 2.8, Foot Notes has a link that explains what's new in this release. Improvements include both core parts (like VFS and Nautilus) and UI modules, like a new applet manager, an improved gconf editor and a new theme. In addition there are some proposed modules like new system tools and a new VNC server. Take a look at Davyd Madeley' site (mirror) if you want to view some sweet screenshots."

I know it's been discussed before

I know this has been discussed before. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it. My current install of Nautilus alwas opens every folder in a new window.

I hate that.

I can't find the setting to turn this off! Can anybody help me out?

Thanks,
Bryan

Use Internet Explorer

Off-topic.

If you use Internet Explorer, strangely, the 503 errors don't appear. What's going on, Malda? This is another one of those funny things Slashdot critics will be using against Slashdot from now on.

Re:Doom 3 pirated--news that Slashdot won't report

[Spellbinder]

how many of those pirates just wanted to get it early and are reciving it a few days later?
or are just trying it out to see if it is worth it (and yes it is!!!!!)
if there is no demo out it is no wonder everybody wants to see something of it
i am going to buy it as soon as a linux client is out (or maybe even as it hits the stores)
this only means future games are going to be released over the web
i understand carmack ... but there are loads of people out there without enough money ( ok enuff to get a d3 pc) to buy the game anyway
take 1/4 of the sum they say they lost and it will still be way more then they would have got if ther e had been no piracy
file sharing is just another tool for people to strike back against corporations which try to fuck them
and sometimes it hits the wrong ones
