  1. OS should support indexing first on Yahoo Releases Desktop Search Tool Beta · · Score: 1

    First things first. The thing is pretty and useful to some extent, but the OS (windows, linux...) should support indexing files in the first place. Like tagging your photos about your brother. Then you could search "brother" and find photos, email, documents etc...

    I know Microsoft are working on WinFS and I've seen somewhere a project for gnome. Anyone knows how those projects are doing?

  2. Re:props to mandrake on Mandrake 9.2 ISOs Available · · Score: 1

    Well, I've tried Debian for a year. apt is really great and I loved Debian. But I would not call it "desktop-ready", neither for gentoo... (unless you can edit config files, which most "desktop" people can't)

    Mandrake, however is a great "desktop-ready" distro! Good control center, almost every aspect of the system can be controled with a GUI, and most important, it just works!

  3. Missed a great show? on Closest Asteroid Yet Flies Past Earth · · Score: 2, Interesting
    No need to panic! The article says:
    The asteroid's 1.85-year orbit is quite eccentric, indicating it cannot be a man-made object, Marsden says. He estimates the asteroid measured less than 10 metres. This is too small to have posed a danger to Earth, although it would have made a spectacular fireball had it entered the atmosphere

    It would have been just a great show!

  4. Re:Maybe Bill's Just...--- Hear the chat here on Microsoft Tech Specs Prohibit GPL Implementations · · Score: 1

    You can hear the conversation here. The begining is in french, the two comics explaining the joke. The rest of it is in english and you can hear the guy who pretends to be Canada's Prime Minister talking to Gates.

  5. Looks like... on Power Shortages And Tech Industry · · Score: 1

    This power shortage thing just sounds like SimCity :) Put a Microwave power plant!

  6. Re:Linus Gates on Linus Torvalds Announces Autobiography · · Score: 1

    I'm sure he's getting enough from Transmeta to feed the new mouth! Well, I hope, cause I could and I'm sure he's getting a lot more than me :)
