  1. Re:online software updates on Novell Announces SUSE Linux 9.1 · · Score: 1
    • Try to add ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse /i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/ to the sources (replace with your closest mirror and correct distribution), and YaST will update your KDE install.
    But be sure not to install KDE apps from the CD after that. That will break things. I updated following this guide. Flawless, everything works. YMMV.

    • Would be worse if it was "Microsoft announces SuSe linux".

      • That would worry me less than "Microsoft announces Microsoft Linux XP." As soon as Linux takes lead, they'll do it. Watch.
  3. Re:Eureka! on Spirit and Opportunity Now Operational · · Score: 1
    Man, THAT'S what we need -- a mini-robot piggy-backed on the rover who's sole function is to hit the reset button!

    But what if the reset robot needs to be reset?

    That just increases complexity, and with that the likelihood that things will go bust. (In this case, even redundancy could be a problem. What if the extra reset bot/module goes berzerk and goes all Windows with its reset mechanism?)

    So where's the Ctrl-Alt-Del guy when you really need him?

  5. Keyboard-accessible toolbar on the taskbar on Alternatives to Icons and Start Menus? · · Score: 1

    On my Windows machine, I created a Toolbar that points to Desktop, and shrunk it down to its smallest width. To access it, press ctl-esc, esc, tab.

    Desktop folders expand like in the Start Menu, including My Computer and Network Neighborhood. Every system file, device, and folder is available via a few arrow keys.

    Not as good as a good shell, but mouse-free.
