    Not to quibble (well ok, just a bit), but once a year, Ottawa hosts the largest chambermusic festival in the world. I'd call that world-class. And living in Ottawa gives you tons of high-tech companies to choose from, and the undisputed world-class city of Montreal just a two-hour drive away. For those of you living in San Francisco, that's about what it takes you to commute to work, eh?

    Now if I can get KDE to turn off the upper "task bar" I may actually use it all the time.

    Here's what you do: select "Configure Desktop" from the RMB menu (click anywhere on the desktop background), and then deselect "Enable Desktop Menu" in the dialog that pops up.

  3. Re:10 Katz articles for the price of one! on Interview: Jon Katz Answers · · Score: 1
    Jon does tend to get a tad bit long-winded, but its probably due to the fact that he's a professional writer.

    Huh? Every writing manual I've ever seen stresses the rule of brevity. Long-windedness is supposed to be a sign of inexperience - a sign that the writer is too much in love with his/her words to cut out the redundant bits.

    He would be a more effective writer if he took this to heart.
