    From the link:

    "produces 100% analog sound"
    I'd like to know what 64% analog sound sounds like :P

    The guy who modded this informative probably wakes up with a foul taste in his mouth every morning.

    Oh, the joys of the /. moderation system :)

  3. Re:Big parkingplex? on Solar Tree Bears Fruit · · Score: 1

    I guess they're probably using the generated power for more than just parking lot lighting. TFA is unavailable though, so I can't check if I'm right.

    Why would that be needed? That water reaches the soil anyway if it's raining.

    On top of that, we get plenty of rain in these regions (Austria/Western Europe), so there's no need for irrigation. In places where they do need irrigation, there's not much rain to collect, methinks :)

  5. Re:Linux support? on Is the Dell XPS One Better than the Apple iMac? · · Score: 1

    As much as I prefer linux myself, it has nothing to do with this article. It's about the systems as they are out of the box, without any additional techie work.

    The same goes for those who commented you could run Vista on the mac.

    ...make a donation to the PFF (Pyramid Frontier Foundation). Fair use applies to pyramids too, because Ra said so!

  7. Re:Well on KDE 4 Uses 40% Less Memory Than 3 Despite Eye-Candy · · Score: 1

    Those were my exact thoughts too. I fear the GPU will become the bottleneck for KDE4+.

  8. Re:To compare with GNOME... on KDE 4 Uses 40% Less Memory Than 3 Despite Eye-Candy · · Score: 1

    It's easier to create Windows/Mac ports now because Trolltech dual licensed qt4 gpl+commercial on all platforms, whereas with qt3 they did so for Linux only.

    I still don't get why the Trolls didn't do this earlier with qt3. Anyone knows the reason?

  9. Re:Sounds familiar on KDE 4 to Be Released on January 11th · · Score: 1

    The "interesting" was meant to be emphasized. I was a bit careful not to start a flamewar though. Maybe I should be more clear in the future :)

  10. Re:So they tell you what they don't want you to se on Publishers Seek Change in Search Result Content · · Score: 1

    Added complexity (and user control) most likely introduces new possibilities for abuse, which is already a major problem for search engines these days.

  11. Re:A fixed release date is not a good idea on KDE 4 to Be Released on January 11th · · Score: 1

    Last I heard was that DNF was to be released around 2010.

    They're not yet sure what they'll do with it though. Maybe it's hypervisors, maybe a new user interface paradigm for consumers, but it will certainly be more user-centric.

  12. Re:Sounds familiar on KDE 4 to Be Released on January 11th · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's not really correct, IMHO.

    The difference with Vista is that the KDE team really has some major interesting new technologies now, though most of them are rather invisible from the common user's perspective. This will change over time. I assume KDE 4.1 will be more about applying/improving those underlying technologies, rather than introducing them.

    Aside from the desktop itself, a large number of applications have also vastly improved.

    This is slashdot, we need a bad car analogy too. :P
