Nope, not using any machine with such graphics cards anymore.
I'm replaying some games from that era though. With wine and my modern NVidia card. These games work better in wine than Win7 can run them, if I have to believe the info about these games online.
It is a moon. This article is about the actual moon. It's not because it has the word "moon" in it that the thatsnomoon tag is required. If the article were about a melon shaped like the moon, it deserves the thatsnomoon tag. But now it is about the actual moon. It is a moon. It is THE moon!
I'm not sure about your particular nits, but Geany has quite a lot of settings. Look in its preferences under Files and Editor. It has settings about auto-adding newlines at the end of the file, smart home key (not sure if this is related to the end key you mentioned), indentation style, etc... Also, enable the File Browser plugin in the Tools->Plugins setting to have one similar to Kate's. And to make its integrated terminal better I enable the Override Geany keybindings setting in the Preferences under Terminal.
"graphics glitches are usually driver related, but we've also fixed a lot of issues (small and large) in the least couple of years"
That's not a good excuse imho. If the drivers work a certain way, don't expect the makers of these drivers to suddenly do a fix because KDE is stubborn to work around it. I can play the most graphics intense computer games with these NVidia drivers, so whatever KDE wants to do should also be possible with them. And Beryl proves it can, it has no glitches whatsoever. Besides, the glitches are things like the clock showing only half and stuff. What kind of esoteric thing is being used to draw a simple clock, that it exposes driver glitches?
-Oh wait, I forgot to mention how bad the unzip etc... integration in the file manager is. In KDE 3.5, you can just browse zip (and other compressed) files like as if they're folders, and use drag with your mouse to unzip it to any destination. In KDE 4, it uses a buggy program, where you can't drag and drop, and that often gives an error instead of unzipping something, so that using the console is easier. -And it has the ability to integrate a terminal with the file manager, but the feature is useless because it fills your history with "cd" commands.
I'll tell you what I find wrong about KDE 4.x: -you can't drag a box around files in the file manager -the tree of the file manager constantly auto-scrolls left and right (once you manage to discover the setting to actually get a tree in it) -in kate the search for text has its case sensitivity independent per file, and hidden behind something on which you must click first -in kate, the search term is independent per file -it is not possible to get two rows of the "panel" at the bottom, while I want that and it is perfectly possible in all KDE's before 4, all gnomes, etc... -it is not very stable. For example last time I tried it, which is a year ago, after two weeks it crashed and then had reset all desktop settings, so that I needed to do all this frustrating stuff like getting the panels the way I want, the launcher buttons, etc... again from start. KDE 3.5 remembers its settings for years and years -KDE 4 has this weather widget, but it's impossible to set it to a european city, at least last year it was, it always said something like it couldn't connect to the server, and had a terribly bad interface to change the server -it has graphics glitches -most dev effort goes to an application suite instead of the desktop, and despite all that effort, they never fix the kate search I mentioned above -by default everything is huge and there don't fit many open window buttons in the panel -it is extremely frustrating to create a launcher for a program in the taskbar. There are at least 3 systems, and all 3 are annoying, sometimes involving having to manually create a desktop file somewhere. How it should be: a single drag and drop movement -etc... -KDE 3.5 is much more pleasant to use.
Is its DRM reasonable? If you buy the game, can you play and reinstall it as many times as you want on whatever computer you want, and can you play it without internet connection if single player?
I love the detail of the models in the demos. I'd love to see games without the polygonal trees and such shown in the video. But I agree the lighting of their demos could use some serious work. It's as if there's a uniform light source shining from all directions at once in their palm tree world. There are a few shadows in their demo, but the contrast is way too low.
I'd love to see the combination of good lighting, and this non polygonal world.
Agreed, still the browser with the best interface for me. Unfortunately SeaMonkey started having random crashes with 'RenderBadPicture' in the X Window error at least a few times a day, so I had to abandon it for Firefox a few months ago:(
Slashdot Mirror
I don't own a TV because...
I spend time on the computer instead, and it can play DVD movies and YouTube!
Don't worry, once the technological singularity happens we'll spread to space. Well, not we, but 'it' will.
Is it due to the video quality, or is the Raspberry Pi itself rendering Quake 3 in horrendous shades of blue and pink?
So according to the title, it deals "products". I wonder what products this is about.
So why are the values given feet and miles?

It'll be impossible to patent everything, since patenting will be patented!
I doubt the person described as 'Idiot' in the summary, is the one who submitted it.

Version numbers have always worked for years. And now suddenly they collapse. What's happening?
Is LibreOffice vs. OpenOffice an old argument? It's hardly a year old...
Will it survive being in a building on fire and collapsing?

I thought nothing could escape a black hole, so how can it explode? An explosion requires escaping it. I'm asking this as a non-physicist :)
I switched from Kate to Geany by the way. It does everything that Kate does without such stupid design mistakes.

It would be awesome if 5.0 were more like 3.5 again (its behaviour and settings), but with the modern graphics features of 4.0 :)
Yes I know oblivion didn't have it, but that's almost 5 years ago! It already existed, but wasn't such a trend as now yet.

Wouldn't a good old switchboard do?
