  1. Re:Correction: Why Linux has failed on YOUR deskto on Why Linux Has Failed on the Desktop · · Score: 1

    For a moment I thought I was reading about me. Spooky.
    Anyway, I also like to play with customized XP CD's, or live ones like PE, xp embedded, CE or even tweaked 9x for various purposes.
    The point is I don't really mind because there is Perl for Windows, and it feels like home.

    Lost irony.

    Well, you recall it wrong.
    * 98 is 4.10
    * Me is 4.90
    * 2000 is 5.0
    * XP is 5.1
    * Server 2003 is 5.2
    So vista is 6th

    They (KDE) tried, but the gnome fundamentalists didn't let them. This was in the middle of the gnome/kde wars, when Qt wasn't pure enough for some.

    You can still find references on the web:
    http://dot.kde.org/1096230607/1096270511/

    I always think, what if they did it ? It would be better than gimp for sure, seeing the quality of other kde apps at the time.

  6. I know that one on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    First thing you do when you get to work is turning on the light on and hang your coat where is visible from outside AND then go to the coffee machine.
    That way people will know you arrived and think you are probably doing something important elsewhere.
    Works for me.

    That's nice, but a dvd would be both chaper and bigger than that.

  9. Re:Aftermarket coolers are useless for most users. on Twenty Five Intel CPU Coolers Tested · · Score: 1

    The Intel stock coolers have a rather crappy way to attach to the motherboard.
    They are designed to be assembled without removing the board, but inexperienced technicians will often assemble it in a way is not really doing the desired pressure against the the cpu, resulting in over 50C temperatures in iddle mode.
    Due to this retarded clipping desgin, repeated removing of the cooler will break the clips.
    Give me something with screws big enough to be screwed with my not so delicate hands like those on the Tuniq 120.
