  1. Re:Darwin award contender? on Physicist Calculates Trajectory of Tiger At SF Zoo · · Score: 1

    Acting in such a way that causes an endangered animal to be killed brutally by police, while two of them (India-Indians) should know damn well what tigers can do, yeah, that pretty much adds up to NO sympathy. Why should it matter if they were Indian specifically from India? Would our reaction be any different if they were American Indian or [Insert Specific Race Here]? They are asshats and that's relevant enough.
  2. Re:I wonder on OpenOffice 2.3 Released · · Score: 1

    The slow-ass-ness of OO has always been the biggest complaint article after article about OO and there seems to be no sign that the issue is being addressed. So what's the progress with KOffice and Gnome office suite(abiword, gnumeric) or others that I should know about?

    I wonder if IBM Lotus Symphony is tackling the speed issue.

  3. Re:Light at the end of the tunnel on Palm Withdraws Linux-Powered Foleo PC · · Score: 1

    How about the Nokia N800?

    XP is simply a face mocking you

  5. Re:N800 on iPhone Freed From AT&T, Twice · · Score: 1

    Does it really matter if it's connecting to a phone network or through Skype/Gizmo? As long as you are able to communicate. True that phone network is more ubiquitous, but depends on your needs and location. For me, I don't use the phone that much, but I use the computer heaps and would love something more portable than a laptop, and the N800 seems much more capable than the iPhone. It also has a touchscreen but not multitouch of course. Multitouch seems to be the only unique feature on the iPhone in comparison to the N800.

    I'm surprised that there isn't much talk about N800 at all on ./

    Anyway I may have read somewhere that the successor to the N800 will have 'real' phone capability.

    No mention of Nokia N800 ? It has Skype, Google Talk with webcam, and pretty much do what a linux pc can do.

  7. Re:Dolphin on KDE 4.0 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    In detailed view, why doesn't dolphin have a way to sort by type? Isn't it neater that way?

    Why does konqueror have a way to do it, but when I want to jump to a file named 'color.gif', I type on the keyboard, say 'col', and it jumps to files with the file type starting with 'col' instead of the name. Isn't it more useful, if it always matches the name rather than anything else? Imagine if I sort by modified or permissions instead. These little things kinda annoys me.

    Think about how 'thunar' or 'nautilus' works. Makes more sense I think.

    Anyway, can't wait for stable KDE4.
