No! Don't say that about your 1Ghz Tbird! That means mines only a little better. My 1.33 is fine for running UT2K3, but when Doom 3 comes I'll upgrade:)
As one professional programmer to another, I have to say that if you need this site to write stable, solid, unreadable code you consider a career change. A good programmer won't be able to understand what he wrote yesterday - I never do!
Ahhhh those horrible buttons and icons , the KDE team should have picked a cleaner default configuration, colours, buttons and window decoration.. Gah! I agree 100%.
I've had a couple of quirky tab issues, but nothing too bad. If by "quirks" you mean "bugs" then *please* report it at bugs.kde.org.
Actually I can understand them doing this. I was in a contest last year, sponsored by Microsoft. The object was to write a useful web service. Everyone got a copy of Win2K, Visual Studio.NET, and a couple other programs IIRC. The funny thing is that the BEST web services were done with some flavor of *nix. Unfortunately, my group used ASP.NET/C#, and while I appreciate the code-behind stuff, I'd much rather use PHP or Perl.

Windows still doesn't have support for multiple desktops
Actually it does. Its included with the XP powertoys (I know, not the same as being built-in). Having said that exists, it is also the *worst* multiple desktop implementation I've seen. Alternative shells like LiteStep do it much better.
Not really. I like the Onion, but its getting tiresome - Area Man does X, World Leader does Goofy Thing, etc. I still read the horoscopes and the little insets because they're still pretty funny.
Have you tried popfile? Its a perl-based solution, so it should run on anything that perl runs on. I have it running on Linux with KMail, and on Windows with Mozilla, Eudora, and Opera.
Actually, with Netscape anyway, you can really lock-out users. The labs at school have Netscape 6, and I can't change any preferences with a normal student account.
Aside from a couple playback issues with a really weird avi file, MPlayer really impresses. I showed it to my Windows-using friends and they love the fact that it can play so many formats.
It could probably be done like the CD packaging. You know, you have a layer of fairly easy to remove celophane (sp) and then a really difficult strip along the top. It would be removable, but difficult enough that you'd notice someone trying to rip it off in the store.
There are many great hiking trails in my county. When I really want to get away from technology I go hiking. At home I have a computer in the bedroom, one in the hallway alcove, and my laptop travels to various rooms. The only room thats electronics free is the bathroom:)
My / partition is using 1.5GB out of 32GB available. It has OpenOffice, two versions of Qt/KDE, all sorts of other programs like apache, mysql, some GNOME stuff like gqview and gaim. Everything I need, nothing I don't (well, aside from the extra versions of Qt/KDE, but they're there for a reason:) Linux is still small, you just don't install what you don't need (or do LFS like me)
Visit www.minion.de for some patches that will let you use the drivers under 2.5.x (worked great for me under 2.5.50). The author of the patches worked at nVidia as an intern doing work on the Linux/FreeBSD drivers.
Slashdot Mirror
These users need to wake up to the fact that bandwidth costs money, it is by no means free.
And I *AM* paying for it.
You know, I"ve read a lot of crazy things on slashdot, but...DAMN ;)

I use mozilla, so I really can't speak for opera
a piece of shitty software
Translation: I never used it, but opera is shitty, because payment is optional.
And don't forget - even the "lightweight" Phoenix browser's download is big compared to Opera's installer.

RTF files can be read with WordPad, which is included with Windows.
You mean like this?

I've wondered about this too. Someone fill us in!

Is it a small patch? can you send it to repugnant2k at hotmail.com?
Sounds like someone prefers Leia to Amidala ;)
