There was some "different" behavior between clicking it in Konqueror and clicking it in Finder. I'm not sure what was different though, I'll have to test each and see why the way I had it bound in Konq wasn't working for me.
Anyway though, it's definitely the FS browser I use, unless I want to pay 15 bucks for something that's "close", but "not". Just the most comfortable for me.
I gave up and use Konqueror for file management when I know I don't care about launching stuff like videos (it will launch VLC, but it launches a new VLC every time, I'm sure I can fix that, but I don't care). But for previews of directories full of photos, or split-window copying, I just run back to Konq every time.
I wasn't about to pay for a file manager either. Window shading is the same deal. There's WindowShade X, but jeez, why do I need to spend money for this thing really? I've just learned to deal without that.
It's the only good idea Ticketmaster ever had, apparently. Every show I've been to that's offered a live CD, I bought it. One was instant live (Bauhaus), and the rest required you to wait (Pixies, Throwing Muses, Tori Amos). The Pixies CD distributor made a point of saying it was so they could get it in the studio, on proper equipment, fix levels, etc, and it is a very high quality product. The Bauhaus Instant Live one isn't bad though.
I honestly don't understand why every band wouldn't do this. The only way a band makes actual money signed to a major is A:) T-Shirts, B:) Ticket Sales. C:) is clearly "sell the shows as you play 'em", because the lines were very, very long at each event. Who wouldn't want the CD of the show you just saw? They KNOW they're playing to a house full of fans, why not let them take the performance home?
Cheers to any bands that do this. I dislike Ticketmaster (livenation) as much as anyone, but I know Throwing Muses did it themselves, and the Pixies one was through another small distributor, seems like it's win, win, win? My wife and I probably went to about 2 or 3 dozen shows last year, and would have bought CDs of all of them.
I think you gotta think more Hotblack Desiato (from Disaster Area). Just because it doesn't reflect light doesn't mean you can see through it, that's why in the picture it looks black. Imagine a ship made all of this stuff, the instruments, guages, everything.
"Pro" doesn't indicate that you're "Professional" in any way. A "Pro" Flickr account gives you the ability to have more than 3 albums, greater storage, and it's like $2/month. So don't think that all, or even most, Pro users make a living off of any of the stuff they put on Flickr.
There are some things that seriously annoy me about OSX. Finder is pretty poor compared to something like Konqueror, and I can deal with the MS filesystem browser paradigm easier than Finder as well. I have Konqueror loaded on my Macs anyway just because I'm easily annoyed with Finder.
The ease with which you can change or add hotkey combinations for certain functions is also an issue with me. I'd like to have been able to map "L" to lock my machine, you need to be either very intimate with the mac, or find software to do it (there are several packages, that's not the point. All I want to do is add that key combo, I don't want any of the other functionality of that software).
I've not really gotten into more power-user type stuff yet, I've had Mac laptops for a while, but used them mainly for "day to day" browsing, IM, Term Serv. Now I have a Mac as my desktop machine at home, and it's definitely throwing some curves coming from SuSE + KDE, but I'm trying to hold off on dual-booting and give it a fair shot.
The fact is, people probably like OSX because there is less opportunity for the user to get confused with a zillion menu options, all the control panels are sparsely laid out with information that's easy to access. The problem is that very often it's not the information a power user would want to see. But it's a clean, uniform, tidy environment that makes it very easy to see what's going on with your machine. Add Dashboard, Dock (love it or hate it), and it's just a little more workable than Windows on a lot of levels.
Verizon have been making a land-speed record (for them) getting FIOS across southern NH. They've been making a bee-line straight for my house for the last 6 or 8 months (Salem, Derry, Pelham, Hudson, Nashua, from what I understand) and now that they're almost at my door, it looks like they might stop?
I really hope existing customers don't lose their existing access, and I hope the timeframe for this is such that they might not immediately cancel all upgrades.
Since they're going to be the majority stakeholder in the new company, my guess is they have no interest in depriving you of service you've already paid for, more likely is that they don't want to solely front the cost of supporting and building out a relatively sparse area.
Microsoft lost this chain for sure on the server side. If it doesn't think their brain dead policies are costing them money, I am proof positive that they are
Unless he somehow wrangled a refund out of HP for the copy of XP he didn't use, then Microsoft still got paid, thus their "braindead policy" isn't costing them a nickel. They're just making money on a copy of Windows they don't need to support.
On the one hand this guy describes the branch office as "no big deal, done it a thousand times before", then proceeds to use a desktop machine with a 3rd party RAID as a server running XP and is surprised when it didn't work? That's what I don't really get about this article.
I'm very set in my workflow, and one of the things that makes me hesitant to drop the hammer on a Mac Pro is the handling of multiple monitors. I use Desktop Manager to give me virtual desktops in OSX, and OSX handles multiple monitors like Xinerama, which I can't stand. I use a 3 headed X desktop at the office acting as independent displays, with their own virtual desktops. Having two or three monitors all change to different virtual desktops at the same time would annoy the shit out of me in the biggest way.
Apple seem to have this feature coming up natively in 10.5 and it will be interesting to see how they do it, my money is on "treat the whole thing like one big desktop and flip all monitors at once", but there is hope I guess.
Back in The Day, Slashdot listed only the day and date, which if I gave a shit, would be sufficient to narrow it down to the year. However, sometime in the last 2 years I was pleasantly surprised to see they started putting the year as well attached to every post.

Amarok runs very well for me from Fink (FINALLY! Thanks RangerRick et. al. who made that happen), and Amarok supports the 3 or 4 MP3 players I've tried just fine (Archos and iPod mainly are what I've used).
I have 1.4.4, after many fits and starts with bad libxine1, etc, everything seems to have evened out and it works.
I'm an advocate of unplugging from work when you're on vacation, however, if it makes you miserable to do so, DON'T. If someone would have a more enjoyable vacation by checking email to make sure things haven't melted down, who am I to say they shouldn't.
I should point out that while I say I "advocate" unplugging, I myself don't. If I'm laying in my hotel bed in the middle of the night checking my mail over the VPN, who does it hurt? How is it making my trip worse? I stop there though, I won't actually become involved in anything unless someone specifically asks me to. If I were working on a problem, and someone who's on vaca piped up with a bunch of 'solutions', I think it might annoy me.
So the root of the problem is that he wanted an arbitrator and got an arbortrator . He might not have been specific enough, and if he requested Arbortration on his project, that's exactly what he got.

Clearly HP should ship all their machines with a "Turbo" button, that should solve everything.

There's that, and the HamRobber doesn't have a great sales-pitch ring to it.
