The feature that keeps me using KDE instead of GNOME is ALT-Click. In KDE, if you ALT-Rt.click on a window, you can resize by moving the mouse. It is much nicer than having to find a 2 pixel wide bar and clicking on it. Combine this with ALT-Lt.click to move any window without having to catch the title bar, and window management becomes much easier and quicker.
Does the French constitution contain protection for Freedom of Speach, as the US constitution does? If so, you are probably safe. However, you may have to put up with a legal battle. Also, are there any laws protecting reverse engineering specifically as a form of Free Speach? If you were being tried in the US, it seems likely the EFF would help you with the battle. Is there such and org in France?
I find it offensive that you would run Windows on your fastest home machine. Linux should always have the best hardware. You Sir, insult me./joke
distcc isn't so great

Optimizing distcc

· Score: 2, Informative
My roommate and I both use Gentoo. We also both have AthlonXPs. When we first turned on distcc, cutting our compile times in half, we were overjoyed. But then random compiles started failing. Not until I turned of distcc could I get some packages to compile. The point is, distcc isn't flawless.
Sure they will be happy. Until "emerge sync; emerge update world; etc-update" hoses everything in their/etc directory, including fstab. Think they could handle interactively updating their system configuration using diff? The answer is NO.
Of course, if you don't have ANY servers running on their system at all (which would be default on gentoo) then maybe you wouldn't have to do any updates. Though the thought of that would make most linux users cringe (except debian stable users--ha!).
Since we live in a democracy, technically the feds ARE us. We controll them, they serve us. The problem is, we aren't nearly involved enough in our government, so sometimes it doesn't seem that way. Your comment make me sad that our government isn't like this anymore.
What's with this book-love thing? So many people just assume that reading a book is so much better than playing a game or watching a film, but really, it is just another form of entertainment! Literature class seems so silly. Why teach kinds about the kind of entertainment people had before there was better techonolgy? Why is one form so holy and great? It isn't.
Actually, the reason is probably because the men are smart enough to share their home internet connections between all of their roommates (or even neighbors) with NAT and home networking or WiFi. So they only get counted as one person. But the girls are the ones that buy the multiple IP addresses and all that from the cable company. I'm not trying to be insulting. In my college town, it is only the girls' houses that pay to have more than one computer connected.
Wrong! You can only make copies of 4.7GB DVDs without decoding CSS. If you want to do a 9GB DVD, you need to decode the CSS and then reencode the video to fit on a 4.7GB DVD. This is because you can't buy 9GB DVD burners and black media today.
Does Lilypond, or any other program, for that matter, do a good job of drum music? Don't just drumset, but marching percussion, too? With diddles, shots, pings, rolls, 32nd notes, whatever? I have never seen a program that handles all of these things, and it would be great if there were one.
This is all true, when you have a competent admin. But if something goes wrong and you aren't near base where a competent admin is, you want something that does NOT require one to fix. And 9 out of 10 times, an incompetent admin is more likely to be able to fix windows than linux.
I had never heard of this disease. This gives me a great idea for a business plan! I could set up an assisted living facility for these people! I can't think of better renters than people that are natural-born-suckers and never realize you are lying.
A copyright holder is the only person who has the right to copy his own work. This started, in the US, when people were copying maps that surveyors risked their asses to make. George Washington signed the bill. By default, the only person who can copy it at all is the copyright holder. Later, fair use law was written giving everyone the default right to make backups of, timeshift, and copy for non-commercial, personal use. This effectively overturned by the DMCA. The only reason people say 'all rights reserved' is to weaken a copyright infringer's possible claim of thinking it was public domain. They only person with the "right to copy" today is the creator of the work and the people he grants that right to via licence.
Imagine how it feels to be a doctor! If you make one mistake (and who here has NEVER made a mistake at work? Especially ER doc who can get called in a 4am) you can be personally sued, ruining your life and your entire family's life, stopping you from ever working again, and thus not being able to get a chance to save more lives. Oops, your bankrupt because you just lost a suit for $2billion while your malpractice only covered you up to $500million. Now your kids can't go to college, you have to sell all of your posessions, no insurance company will cover you so you can't work now--all because, after dedicating your life to saving lives, there is one thing you didn't think of while trying to save another life. And AFTER THE FACT, some lawyer makes a very emotional argument to a jury of weak-mided suckers. I am sure if a doc in the emergency room had as much time to waste analyzing everything as the lawyer took, there would be far fewer mistakes. But when someone is wheeled in bleeding, you have to think FAST. You can't always be perfect.
That is the most retarded question ever. I hate to break it to you, but when Mr. Rogers was talking to you on TV, he didn't actually see and hear your dumb ass. He was talking into a camera, which only sends info one way.

That is ALL there is to it. It is pretty much the same as upgrading to any other kernel. The only trick I saw was that the kernel needs more parameters than 2.4. It needs "root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hda?" appended, which kernel 2.4 did not need. All the other tools (module autoloaders, etc.) are already 2.6 ready on a Gentoo system
That is silly. Why don't they just flood server X directly? Surely that would be more efficient than flooding everyone else and hoping to overload it with 'verify' requests.
I worked in a paperless office. We were tech support for a large public university, and did all of our developing in-house, so we had web based (mysql+php+apache) software that did every possible type of form we could fill out. Memos were posted to the website... Yeah I really never had to touch a piece of paper in the 2 years I worked there.
And things like this always start in universities, and move into the business world as the students graduate.

Actually, it resets the volume to 0 every time you start KDE. A pretty shitty bug, if you ask me.
Well, then you just take advantage of the handicapped chicks. Duh.
Don't be so up-tight, dude.

I think this calls for some burnination! And where's the big beefy arm?
"Needs a Cylon roving lead display on the head, too."
It may be pronounced "lead," but you are referring to Light Emmiting Diodes, or L.E.D.s. They don't use Pb at all.
If Eolas had a soft side for Free browsers, it's because no money could be made from them.
How about the power... to move you.
