I'm in that age bracket and since about 6 years I need reading glasses.
It was in the office at the computer I noticed one morning I couldn't properly focus any more when close up to the computer screen.
That same day I went to the supermarket and got some 5 Euro reading glasses and everything is back in focus.
We use 15.4" laptops with a HD screen, yes the pitch is small but with the right glasses it's no problem what so ever.
As a matter of fact, decreasing the resolution might make the font large enough for me to read but I'd still suffer a very uncomfortable loss of focus.
Who is he that dismisses the figures of western style democracies just because some developing/ non-democratic countries manipulate theirs?
It is a matter of fact that in the developed world the USofA has (by far!) the highest number of prisoners per capita and is one of the few with an active death penalty yet suffers more serious crime than most.
I think you are looking for the difference between artists and artisans, the first is more likely to have the academic credentials and the latter the vocational qualifications.
For a significant project you'll need both, the artist for the novel concept and the artisan to turn it into a reliable tool.
But it has to be said problems only arose when the likes of Kubuntu used it for their 6 monthly distribution, this wasn't KDE's fault.
The present KDE4.3.2 is quite a nice desktop, most if not all features from KDE3.5 have now been included, the speed is almost back and for future development we have the advantage of the new QT libraries.
I'm now running KDE4.3.3 and although there are a few issues it's very workable and likeable.
Because of it's lack of integration early on and more recently the lack of reconfigurability I've never liked Gnome but it was reasonably stable in code base and experience, these guys should prevent running into the same trap the KDE4 developers did by releasing too early.
The combination of proper double insulation and GFS are regarding electrocution the best electrical safety one can get, it's near-intrinsic. Here in The netherlands there have been no fatalities since over thirty years ago 30mA. GFS were made mandatory.
For fire safety we still need fuses and/or fused breakers.
But then seriously, how is this guy's story "news for nerds" any more than my anecdote? I would think nerds would be capable enough of doing testing to determine if 7 is right for their environment and then deploying it if appropriate.
This is news for managers.
Because they wouldn't accept this logic from one of their own techs.
I think you both misunderstand VAT.
It's a tax on consumption, and as such it lowers the tax on production and labour.
Corporate tax is generally lower in countries with a higher VAT and so companies thrive.
A prime example is Denmark that with 25% has the highest VAT the EU allows and some of the highest personal (income) taxation anywhere, yet their economy is very strong with some of the lowest unemployment figures in the west.
Why, oh why is this annexed with Windows 7. The release of either affects the other in no way what-so-ever. If Ubuntu beta/rc is not news worthy by itself, releasing on the same day with Win7 doesn't change that in any way. And yes, even one sentence about what's new in this would not hurt...
Slashdot Mirror
Floating toolbars that can be set to 'always on top' or on a different monitor are the way.
This whole story smells fishy.
I mean of course the gloat of the idiot that reported the guy.
Hmm, as an avid KDE user I (logically) first misread the article's head as Gnome dropped. ;)
Now that would improve the user experience.
But then I never experienced Photoshop long enough to see it as a standard.
Anyhow, for those like me that need it it's just a quick download away.

Few can do both.
But then I don't know your folks...
Guys with lots of money don't carry it around.

In other words; only the non-civilised would contemplate reciprocal killing.
Personally I'd like to give killers a little more time (life?) to consider their actions while keeping them in lock-up.
There is little to settle with the present Vatican re. evolution, they don't see a contradiction with the bible.
Looking at the present bishop of Rome tells us aliens are among us.

As an electrician/electrical engineer that travels a lot I can agree with most that comes after the silly UK score.
But I find it strange they left out the French which is very similar to the Danish and the German which is probably most widespread.
Nor do they need to be as there are fuses or fused breakers at the switch board.
After all it' s not unheard of that someone gets a shock fiddling with the wireing or a ceiling lamp...

For fire safety we still need fuses and/or fused breakers.
Every appliance is fused according to rating and type of use, an additional fuse in the socked is not going to improve this protection in any way.
The only ' use' the fused plug has is that it could theoretically prevent a fire caused by a partial short circuit in the power cord.
Theoretical because the mains socket is protected by a fuse or breaker anyway.

I guess you don't understand intrinsical
Analyzing the crashdumps with windbg usually revealed a faulty driver, antivirus package or broken hardware to be the root cause.
And I thought a modern OS would be intrinsically safe for virus infection...
And then you have to explain it was the users doing, not your fault supplying leaky tools like, say, Windows.
Our company runs company computers through a proxy, visitors and private laptops can connect directly.
