  1. Re:Phoebe's Cat on Phoebe Pictures Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Move over here to germany. I don't think we'll run out of badly translated reruns anytime up until 2027. ;-/

    Hehe...funny post. You really have a point, though.

    Lol, acutally there is: Just middle click on the folders.

    No, I haven't used both systems lately. Still, I don't see what could be possibly bad about a spatial nautilus if everyone else does it too?

  5. Re:Spatial browsing can be good if... on Why Users Blame Spatial Nautilus · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It doesn't in Gnome 2.6 either. My mom never gets below her home directory. That's exactly what caused her headaches with the Windows Explorer. Seeing all those strange folders named c:\programs c:\temp c:\windows and so on. She never has that kind of clutter anymore.

    She sees one icon: Computer. There she finds her CD-Rom drive and her USB-Stick to go.

    Everything else is in "Personal Folder". She just drags and drops the file into her USB-Stick folder and she's set. She would have never managed to do this inside Windows Explorer, I can assure you. Spatial is easy. And it is fun. I even cleaned up my MP3-Folders. It was a bliss...

    Keep going GNOME!

  6. Re:Off-topic but it had to be announced on More 3D Displays to Come · · Score: 1

    Hey, I got one. Sad part is I live in germany. And now I will have to completely rebuild the toaster to make it work with germanies 220V grid. But at least a friend of mine had an idea. We'll just stick a diode inside the beast and put a schuko connector on it. That's as dirty a hack as it gets but in theory it should work. I just HAD to have it... ;-)

    The fun part is that they claim that Fedora Core2 plays MP3 files out of the box wich is not true. Fedora does not contain a MP3 capable player due to license issues.

    C3PO is already in the uncanny valley. He looks too lifelike. When I was a kid I would have killed to have my own R2-unit. I never even cared about C3PO.

  15. What about art? on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If this was true then I really wonder why this doesn't apply to classical art. I mean, if I visit a gallery of the great masters and look into the faces on the paintings I can really attach to it. And so can millions of people. You can see the love, the fear, the hate in these paintings. I know it is not animated but still, humans seem to be capable of creating artificial pictures of themselves. The point, as I see it, is that game developers are just particulary bad at it.

  16. Re:Linux used to be light as hell on Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower? · · Score: 1

    lol, that should definetely be their new claim. Well, Slack in fact is the answer. At least for me. It is still one of the distros that really scale well. I use it on my old PII 300Mhz Notebook, together with Dropline Gnome, and it is very usable. The load times really are the big problem with Gnome. I don't know why this is so., though. Once the apps are loaded it really makes a nice Desktop but KDE apps seem to be much faster when it comes to startup. I am still wondering wether I should hand my mom her new machine with Fedora Core 2. It ran Win98 before and though Fedora is much more capable it is also soooo much slower that I am not sure she will fall in love with it...

  17. Apples just does the right thing on New PowerMac G5s: Up to 2.5Ghz, Liquid Cooled · · Score: 3, Informative

    I must say that I am impressed. I am really not a big apple fan but the company seems to do just the right thing again and again. Starting with USB on the iMac back in 1998 they made a lot of cutting edge decisions wich came into mainstream just because Apple made them successful (WiFi, Firewire, MP3 players, legal musicdownloads, their stereo-wifi-hubbie-thing, TFTs, DVD-Burners) and so on).

    Watercooling has been around for some time but no majorplayer implemented it. I bet that two years from now this could well be standard at Dells, HPs and so on...

    Nvidia works fine for now. That said they would be very stupid to support XFree86 any further with all those nice eyecandy waiting to happen in xorg. I am confident that they will see the benefit in xorg and abandon XFree86

    First of all, it's a dupe about a non-innovative company. Ironic. Secondly, there's so many comments saying the same thing, that it's a dupe. So, dupe story about a company that copy their ideas, is commented by dupe comments.

    Sorry, I had to! ;-)
