While this is an okay idea in concept, it won't really work out well in the real world. Lets say I am working on some stuff in GIMP and have a few palettes set to "Stay On Top" ("Keep Above Others" here in KDE 3.4.1). Yippie, it is working great. Now...what happens when I go to bring up my email client...my web browser...my anything. That freaking palette is STILL on top.
That is no go.
A feature like that needs to be built into GIMP so that it puts that window on top of the artwork, don't make the Window Manager place it on top o' the whole world.
Why would a corporate license show as pirated? Do you really think that MS doesn't know which of their keys are corporate ones? That simply makes no sense.
1) Build vunerable OS+apps 2) Sell PC (MS makes money of Windows being pre-installed) PROFIT! 3) Get machine infected with spyware+adware 4) Piss customer off to the point of buying a new one 5) Sell NEW PC to fix problem-PROFIT AGIAN! Return to step 3, repeat...become freaking rich.
See...we missed the boat...MS has it down, and the average user doesn't even blame MS for having to buy their new PC.
Would I love saying I get 30+Mbit to my house? Sure...am I even happier that SBC dropped DSL to $14.99/month (1.5Mbit) and $24.99/month (3.0Mbit)? Crap yeah. More is better...but cost is a big factor, and SBC has the winner for that right now.
"Even more complicated would be using a single NIC to connect two operating systems to the same network. Unless someone came up with a clever solution, each OS would need its own IP address. However, routers and switches outside the computer would become immensely confused when a single NIC and a single MAC address belong to two IP addresses, since most routers/switches only have a one-to-one correlation between MAC addresses and IP addresses."
Never had a single NIC in Linux bound to multiple IP's have you? Used to work for a company where a single server would have a good 200 some IP's running on that one little NIC...no issue...no problems, the switch's could have cared less.
Yeah, I wish I could find a good rugged came for my Lawn Mower Racing. Right now we are thinking about mounting a cheap old camcorder to the hood and just using a capture card...but a reall dv cam or wireless cam would be really cool. THe problem is with rolling your mower. That hurts the cam.

Konq isn't a web browser. It is a KParts container. It just so happens that a very popular Kpart is to load in it is KHTML. Though KHTML can ofcourse be loaded into other KDE apps as well. On top of that, you don't have to use KHTML as the renderer for Konq looking at web pages...there is a Gecko based KPart too (though not as mature). Or...heck, just tell KDE/Konq to use Mozilla/Firefox for.*htm* and it will happily do it.
Ah...yes...spend your time on those cool apps! Oh, wait, what will I run those cool PSP apps on if I can't run my homebrew? Should I sell my soul to EA to get it "legit"?
Sure thang:
Apple PowerMac 2.0ghz (Dual)
512MB Ram
160GB HD
Ati 9600 128MB
SuperDrive
$1999
Dell Precision 380n
Intel 2.8ghz Dual Core
1GB DDR
2 x 160GB HD
DVD Burner
128MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX 1400
$1,935
So I can pay around $60 less and get all that more? I vote for the Presicion. If you want me to give you a comparision for a really decked out Dual Processor G5 the difference is even greater.
offer today in three to five years? Great...just like they will beat the searching in Spotlight in 2-3 years:)
MS is good at betting current competition within a few years!
What will Longhorn include that will make Windows 2000 or Windows XP using businesses want to move? All of the technology that was supposed to be Longhorn isn't Longhorn anymore.

So far none of my files will open. Well...let me correct that. They open and are blank. No error message or anything like that. So, strike one. Anyone have any problems with photoshop files? I haven't tested that yet.

They do a staggard release to help bandwidth issues. It is released to the FTP servers/mirrors first, then hits the auto update servers.
Seems to be working for the RIAA okay...

Well, now they can do it the RIGHT way. Using Google's pubicly released API.
I hope they all come back and are happy.
Have we learned nothing from Resident Evil? This has to be the WORST idea ever!
We found the new feature in Windows Longhorn! We found it!
Wait...this is in Apple's Webcore already...why does MS need until late next year to steal it?

Well, that depends. Does it support the following?
- 256MB DDR2 memory
- 16 Unified Pixel and Vertex Shaders
- OpenGL 2 and DirectX 9
- SLI mode for extreme performance
If not...then nope, I will stick with something cheaper!Google.com/ig doesn't appear to let me just pick any RSS feeds though.

Why not port the GTK version? There is already GTK for windows.
