I hate to feed the troll here, but I think it's pretty obvious that the idea was that you'd be sent the 650MB after paying for the album, which I assume is production + 3 cents + profits.
IIRC, KDE notifies apps that are using the background as their own that the background is changing. This has nothing to do with the faux-transparency effect, where the obscured windows are shown also.
KDE doesn't handle transparent windows. It fakes transparency by getting the content of the lower windows and using them as the background to higher-level ones. So you'll notice that if you have any kind of changing content underneath a transparent window, you won't see it update. It's not a matter of transparency being implemented at a lower level- transparency isn't really implemented at all at this point.
I don't ever abuse telemarketers, but I do screw with them. I'll answer the phone in German, or pig latin, or whatever I can remember. I'll pretend to be paranoid and think they're the CIA or that my phone is bugged. I don't see any harm- they probably enjoy it as much as I do. At least, the AT&T rep thought it was pretty funny when I asked if I could get massages included in my long-distance plan...
I was very excited about the possibility of having a "BABE CAVE" IPv6 address until I realized that that's, you know, not possible... Damn you and your typos!

I'm not really sure what the odds are when you only have one example. That gives you at least these possibilities:
- It happened once. - It happens frequently under similar circumstances. - It happens frequently under different circumstances but you're entirely unaware of that fact.
You could certainly direct your attention to similar systems because you can at least prove that it's happened in one such system, but I'm not convinced that the odds are any better.
You forgot to mention its positive effect on penis size, of course.

I did that at the last PSU LUG demo day with a copy of "A Beautiful Mind" residing on my home computer and my laptop at the demo. We played it over a projector and it drew a crowd- well, once people realized what it was.
Actually, ISO doesn't stand for anything. It's from the Greek for "equal," chosen over a real acronym because the acronym would be different in different languages.
I think you've been out-pedanted.;-)

Galeon is not part of Gnome. It was proposed for inclusion in 2.4, as was Epiphany. Epiphany won.

That's MSN, not Microsoft.
As much as I hate the latter spelling, it's valid.
Consistent or not, it's still got one-half more GUI than any other OS, right? ;-)

Hey, hold up there! You don't want a nasty letter from SCO's lawyers, do you?
The whole point of the article was decreasing the amount of time required to start services, not load the kernel itself.
I wouldn't think that would work- the end result is that you still modified the original source, you just went through hoops to do so.
Sorry, I was busy fighting someone on IRC about exactly why NAT would suck more than IPv6 and my ability to detect humor went out the window.
1) IIRC, the goal is to not have to memorize an IPv6 address.
2) It becomes ::1. I think that's pretty easy to deal with. (IPv6 address are collapsible, so zeroes can be omitted.)
For more information, check (shameless plug) http://www.lug.psu.edu/presentations/ipv6.pdf, an overview of IPv6.
He didn't have to. The word is "googol," and happens to be much larger than 35 trillion.

I don't know, I've read enough Kaku (nice pop physics, I suppose), but I still have no clue what that has to do with what I said.

Well, five years at least- he was in American History X.
