    Does XP do this now? You have one instance of IE on the taskbar which has a number showing you the number of pages open. You click on that, and a more detailed list then pops up.

    No, that is a feature that groups common applications under one bar which KDE 2 had before XP even came out.

  4. Re:Western Digital's new 120 GB IDE Drive on IDE, SCSI And Recording Everything · · Score: 1

    I am getting a Western Digital or Maxtor IDE drive for my cousins' computer. Their computer is old, it supports ATA-2, but luckily I can put any ATA protocol drive onto the system. The drive will just slow itself down which will be a big waste. Their old hardrive is a Western Digital Caviar 2GB, and I'm going to take that drive since they have no extra controller for another IDE device, and I put that drive on my system. I was cotemplating a SCSI hardrive but it is expensive, and I wouldn't use the features that SCSI offers so much. But I see one in my future, maybe when I download a ripped Malaysian copy of Attact of the Clones I need to transfer somewhere. (I was kidding about the ripped Malaysian thing, I'm going use my money to see Attact of the clones)

  7. Re:Tell you what on Rare Earth · · Score: 1

    Ancient Sumerians used pictographic writings on tablets. A archaeologist discovered one of these tablets which showed a drawing of our solar system. The thing about it, was, it showed the sun at the center of the universe and also a distant planet that looks like Pluto. Pluto wasn't discovered until around the 1930's, and there were debates on whether the Earth was at the center of the solar system/universe rather than the Sun well after the Sumerian civilization was gone. Sumerians describe Gods coming down to Earth which they called the Annunaki from a planet called Nibiru. The Annunaki created man using Genetic Engineering at a place called E'Den.

    Same as auto-completing recent web page addresses or browsing an ftp site as if it were a local hard drive.

    I think auto-completing a recent web page, and browsing a ftp site as if it were a local hard drive not inovative, it's called features.

    I spent a half day figureing out how to st up the nvidia drivers and x, just becasue I didn't read the docs.

    You spent a half day trying to configure Nvidia drivers? Downloading the Nvidia-kernel source and compiling isn't hard, and the Makefile puts the NVdriver in your modules path for your kernel, and also in the X11 modules directory. Then you just edit your XF86Config-4 file with the necessary stuff. The Nvidia drivers also come with docs to, it's in /usr/share/doc/NVDIA_GLX-1.0.

  18. Waste of time on Should Open Source Software Expire? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be better if patches were released to fix a software bug, and to improve performance and other stuff as is already being done. So a sysadmin could keep earlier software that has been patched for a security bug without having to upgrade to the latest version, and what if the latest version has a bug in it also. Then the sysadmin would have to patch that version.

    Sorry about some of the mis-facts, but I know there was a case against Starbucks where they had to pay some money to a person, and had to start putting those cardboard round things on the cups that said it's hot. Anyway, it still proves my point that when it comes to things such as common sense the Dutch has it down.

  21. European Judges are smarter on Kazaa Is Legal, Dutch Appeals Court Rules · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I was watching a news clip on T.V. where a British judge said McDonalds isn't liable if there isn't a "Hot" label on coffee, and ruled against someone who wanted, I think around 1 million from McDonalds, and in American a Judge awarded some person money from Starbucks because the person didn't know the coffee was hot.My point is, I think Judges outside of America have more sense in cases like these including Kazaa because the answer is so obvious. Meaning of course it's not Kaza fault that users are sharing MP3's or whatever, Kazas could be used in anyway. It's the users who are shaping what Kazaa is.
