I just modified some.kext files to tell when my mbp to kick in the fans and to run them a bit faster. Now my processor is 40f-50f cooler, and 5c-10c for all you out of the usa. Battery life is maybe 5min shorter, and the fans are not all that much louder.
50% cpu with modifications is the same as my idle temps before and 100% cpu with mods is like 50%cpu without mods.
Instructions are a few posts below the linked post.
I hope that this doesn't result in a net addition of one more package that users have to install.
If Portalnd is adpoted then it will be installed with the base system, in which case it is a whopping 281kb. Not a big deal. It's not something an end user would ever install anway, it would be pulled in by some other package.
Duplication of function sucks for end users having to install all kinds of stuff, and it sucks for developers too since there's more code to maintain.
In this case, Portland takes the GNOME and KDE interfaces and provdes developers with a single interface to work with (for installing menu items and such). This reduces the amount of code the developer needs to maintain.
The SecureWorks people claimed to have compromised a MacBook. That is, an Intel based machine. But, as you quote:
Intel-based Mac mini, MacBook, and MacBook Pro computers are not affected IOW, this is evidently not the same vulnerability claimed by SecureWorks.
There were a number of patches released for different machines. The Intel machines were also patched to resolve very similar (but not identical) security issues.
Killing someone in real life is a huge crime since that person is lost forever. A better example woule be if you killed someone in quake, their character doesn't revive, and then banning them from ever playing quake again.
Believe it or no, for a lot of people that nintendo is aiming (those in their 40s, 50s or 60s), what you are doing while sitting in front of the TV with that strange controller is "playing Nintendo".
Woah, how old do you think NES fans are? Try late 20's and early 30's. I'm 29, and while I had an Atari when I was very young, the Christmas after the NES came out holds the most memorable video game experiences of my childhood.
("USians" is too hard to say if you pronounce it "U S ians" and stupid if you pronounce it "us ieans", and isn't consistant with not pronouncing "The US" as "The U S".)
Why does everyone on this thread not get that "USian" is shorthand for "United Statesian"?
Ubuntu may have put more effort into modifying GNOME, but most KDE users will tell you that the KDE developers put more work into make KDE more polished and usable than GNOME.
In other news, most GNOME users will tell you that GNOME developers put more work into making GNOME more polished and usable than KDE.
Not to troll, but after using KDE for so long, going back and trying to use GNOME (e.g. via a LiveCD while demonstrating for a friend) is crippling.
And after using GNOME for 4 years, trying to spend a week configuring KDE to function in a sane manner is really not worth the effort.
Or, maybe it's just that the desktops are different and if you really like one you are most likely not going to enjoy using the other for a short period of time?
WTF is "interesting" about parents post? It's just a "kubuntu is not as refined as ubuntu" comment with nothing constructive, just a jab at kubuntu developers.
Look, corporate users aren't going to go compile their own kernel, compile their own drivers or download and install binary drivers with a shell script. It's completely absurd to expect them to do that.
What Novell is doing is making it possible for vendors to update drivers without waiting on Novell to distribute them. To date, if you want a driver more recent than what ships with a stable distribution you are generally out of luck. Distributions just can't spend the time and resources it takes to keep changing the kernel in a stable system. It's impractical and counter-productive.
Can vendors ship crap drivers? Yes.
Does this plan from Novell somehow give vendors more magical mojo to destroy your system? No.
The submitter should realize that one only has to ponder over the idea of something done in excess being good or bad for a short while before they realize what the word 'excess' means.
While slightly flame-friendly, parent is close to the mark. MS techs are easy to find and probably outnumber *nix techs 100 to 1. That is of course a guess, but considering the mass majority of the *nix techs out there got their skills playing around on systems they had access to, and the majority of the english speaking world uses MS, well, do the math.
This may or may not have anything at all to do with what GoDaddy has gone and done, who knows, but if they have a large server farm it's going to be easier (and cheaper) for them to keep a staff of sysadmins trained in MS than it would be to keep one trained in Linux.

This is a fact of the information age.

YouControl Desktops allows you to have different icons on different desktops.
Granted, it's not free, and VirtueDesktops is.
They have not even announced pricing and availability yet.
It is pure insanity to use any tripod homepage as a supporting reference in any argument over anything, anywhere.
Attempted murder is also a crime.
OMFG hypercolor Macs!

I think you mean "United Statesian English"
Why does everyone on this thread not get that "USian" is shorthand for "United Statesian"?
Go ahead and call 10 people in each country in the Americas and find out how many identify themselves as "American"
I suspect you will get 10.

What the hell is wrong with bookmarks?
Do I need to give an argument here?
I do all my programming with 'cat'.
Sissy.

Novell is doing a good thing here, quit bitching.
Seriously good point.
The problem isn't the langauge, the problem is the person doing the writing. You can't expect to write the same way you speak, it just doesn't work.
I'm not really a big fan of anything mentioned in the article, but I love the Nautilus Actions extension:
http://www.grumz.net/node/8
In short it lets you configure context menu actions for files based on type/location/etc. It's significantly better than vanilla nautilus scripts.
That's why Donkey Kong, and not Mortal Kombat, is the best video game ever.

I can't speak for scalability, but I have used this application in the past for my DVD collection (which is nothing compared to your book collection):

(the homepage seems to be down, the above link is for gnomefiles)
I also noticed this:

Good luck.
