The 'run command' entry in the menu is not for the normal user, nor is the button to open a console. The fact that the button has been removed or replaced is probably a usability decision and not a bug.
It also means that from now on it's unsafe for musicians to sell records that contain samples from a Roland sound card. And this means musicians will stop buying Roland gear if this case gets more media attention.
Craig Venter is generally regarded as the person responsible for getting the human genome sequenced years ahead of schedule using his own DNA and shotgun sequencing approach.
The book the common thread by John Sulston gives a completely different view on this. Sulston was director of the Sanger Institute which was one of the leading publicly funded sequencing institutes. In the book it is told that the commercial endeavour was nowhere near having the complete genome on its own. Venter needed the publicly sequenced data for assigning the shotgun data. So Venter produced a DNA sequence which consisted mainly from the data obtained with public funds.
In the book there's actually a couple of paragraphs describing that the public institutes were considering publishing their data with a GPL type license. Eventually, they didn't because they felt that, unlike computer code, DNA information should be available to everbody without restrictions on use and distribution.

Booting Linux Faster
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
These are all good suggestions. There are two reasons one'd like to reduce boot times:
You're running an important server
You're booting your computer daily because you only really use it 1/3 of the time and don't want to waste electricity.
If the second reason is your main reason to boot quickly, you'll probably want to start X too every time you boot. So waiting to start X until a user says X should be started is no option. Your other suggestions are spot on.
If you'd like to take away the last, big, bottleneck, it would be a good idea to start X in parallel with the other, independant, services. This is exactly what's described in the insightful IBM article. Hooray!
Xouvert is named after the ancient Babylonian goddess of open windows, wooden digging implements, and moonlight. A notorious ritual among the higher levels of Freemasonry has kept her memory alive until now. Xouvert, awake!
Which is of course, complete bollocks. Xouvert is french for Xopen.
Playing music on a 2.6 kernel is certainly not perfect, especially in the first 30 seconds of a song with xmms. During this time xmms is probably loading the song and the disk access holds back the music stream.
Performance is, however, much better than with 2.4.
will tell you that SCO is still distribution linux source code.

A combination of white lists/black lists, and Baysian filtering stops so close to 100% of spam that it's really silly for anyone to be bitching about spam these days.
A 100% secure method for never receiving spam can be implemented with current techniques. Email clients can be configured to filter out spam completely.
How? Let your e-mail adress mimic a subcriber only mailing list. If somebody sends you an email for the first time, send them an automatic reply telling them to send you a request for write access to your mailbox. The reciever will not even see this happening and will not be bothered by the unsollicited message. She will only see (motivated) requests for write access to your mailbox and can then choose to a) allow access, b) deny access, c) deny the sender the ability to request access again.
You email client will only fetch complete messages from known senders and can include an optional step of filtering out all email that is not signed with a known encryption key.
KDE doesn't seem to have this anywhere. It seems GNOME does use this. Tab dialogs can also be travelled by <shift><tab>ing a few times to make the current tab active and then using <left> and <right> to access the desired tab.
Of course <ctrl><PgDown> and <ctrl><<PgUp> conflict with existing, often used, bindings in konsole. gnome-terminal does usesthese combinations for switching tabs. But then how can you scroll back in your gnome-terminal without use of your mouse?
Virtual desktops are useful for everyone. But I fully agree that usability is as good as the worst main-stream application on a particular desktop. If a program fails or is difficult to configure, it can really put someone of off.
You can easily switch between virtual desktops by using <ctrl><tab> or by using <ctrl><F1> to <ctrl><Fn>.
Now if only there'd be a shortcut to switch between tabs in konqueror or mozilla. For konsole you can use <shift><left> or <shift><right> to go to the next console window in konsole. In konqueror, <shift><left> starts an automatic scroll to the left.

In 9.2, there's no "Run" option.

most used shortcuts in KDE:
alt-tab: switch window
ctrl-F[1234]: switch desktop
shift-{left,right}: switch terminal in console

Why did you use txt and not e.g. rtf, pfd or html?
My last applications I used rtf and/or html (without explanation) and I did not receive any comments about the use of a different file format.
Still, I'd rather be a real programmer, instead of a c#ier.
