That would be varous flavors of alternate desktops, like litestep. It can be set so that each user get's their own desktop, but it's about the level of a default fluxobx or fvwm desktop. It can be configured, but it's via text files.
The thing I noticed with Litestep is that if I opened the file browser, Explorer, I had default explorer windows, not much different. Litstep can be used to give a simplified desktop on Windows XP2000Me98, but at that point, it makes more sense to switch over to a Linux-based OS.
My Linux system is currently an installation of BigSlack 7.1 running IceWM on my laptop. I also have Basilisk installed for some Mac OS 8.1 goodness when I need it.
I think the Mad Hatter desktop is a great idea to get people to use Linux in a business environment. I think there are enough clues to let people know it's not Windows, but enough familiarity to make them comfortable. You [that nebulous 'You'] may not like the Windows GUI, but it's what a lot ot businesses are using. If people can use Mad Hatter and Star Office using a user-level account, that goes a long way to making it acceptible.
Oh you damn, precious little argumentative local and international bitches! You're comparing an American 8 inch dick to a British 20.32 centimeter dick.
I don't care if it's spelled flavor or flavour, just as long as Cathy Rogers of Junkyard Wars/Scrapheap says it.
That was every meat-bag that walked in our Kinko's.
MB: "My writing doesn't look the same!" Me: Sigh. "Do you have the font this was created in?" MB: "No..."
MB: "I'm not a computer expert; I don't know what I'm doing. Well can't you computer gurus just whip me up my resume in 5 minutes?" Me: "I could, but you wouldn't like it, and neither would any potential employers." I look at resume, MB is applying for a computer support position. Sigh.
Also Printing an imported MS Word document never looks the same way as printing an original MS Word document.
I used to work for Kinko's way back when, and companies would send us documents created in Word 97, We'd open them in Word 97, and I'll be damned if Word couldn't format the stupid thing correctly. Bottom line is that people have been joking about MS Word not opening MS Word documents correctly, and they're not joking.
My experience with OO is that it will open a good 95% of what MS Office docs I throw at it. Haven't tried pivot tables or Docs with TOC's yet, though.
As long as he's dressed in a black commando outfit, sneaks around in the dark and snipes or knocks the lizards unconscious, and answers to the name "Fisher".
I think maturity and stability are going to be two vital assets an older programmer would have going for them. One of the things our CEO said was "No one is going to get ahead by being a jerk." I knew I had arrived at the right company.
Not programming, though. Mostly 2nd level troublshooting.
If I had to choose between guns and the DMCA, I'm for the guns. I can use the guns to target shoot in a friendly manner with other hobbyists. The DMCA is an ugly club that has no purpose other than to restrict freedoms.
The author can sue for copyright infringement without using the DMCA. It's a freakin' doomsday weapon.
If Apple can control the hardware on which it will run, an Opteron doesn't seem too out of the question. Running an opteron != Apple on PC board/hardware.
No one ever said to you had to give them correct information, nor your real name. The only accurate information I ever give is that I live in a particular area code.
I believe he was referring to the deep ocean conveyor, a planet wide movement of higly salinated water. It maintains ocean temperature to a degree. Some models have suggested that disrupting this conveyor will bring about rapid temperature drop. Ice Age? Maybe, maybe not; YMMV.
So his idea is not without merit. You need to be contstructive, little boy.
Farscape needed to be wrapped up. It would be better that it end at season 5 as they agreed, at a nice convenient stopping point. Basically quit while everyone was having a good time. I'm going to watch it tonight, but it sounds like I won't like the ending.
Oh yeah, Sci-Fi is completely butchering Battlestar Galactica. They're calling it a "re-imagining". I'll have to wait and see, but little if anything is carrying over to the Sci-Fi joint. They should have let Richard Hatch have a go at it.
Off topic, but I think Pluto is going to keep it's honorary planet title, even though it is a humongous Kuyper Belt Object. Oh yeah, it has a moon, Charon.
Even if something is a captured asteroid, e.g. Amalthea, it's size seems to determine it's classification. It is a bit fuzzy, like defining what quality is. However, if you gave me specific examples, I could tell you moon/no moon.
I'm a Michael as well. I looked up My first and last name to see if there was anything on the internet about me. Interesting things...
There's a Dr. Michael Worrell at the Grand Canyon University. There's a cricket player in Barbados. There's a Michael Worrell who started the Worrell 1000. Sad thing about tht Worrell 1000 is that until a few years ago, they had T-shirts online.

I saw the title and immediately thought: If you shoved the overpriced CD's up the RIAA's asses, in a week you'd get diamonds.

Otzi killed the Kilngons, who had killed the security guards Ramirez and Chang earlier, and helped Spock carry a bloody Kirk to the time portal.

>What about Jason of Star Academy?
That's Jason of Star Command you insensitive clod!

Mod me redundant, but...
Whatever gas tax they have makes sense. The more fuel efficient your vehicle, the less gas you use. The more you drive the more you use.
What's wrong with that arrangement?
In other news, many folks have been inundated with offers for 'R0n'

See, you pay them a bit of money, then they like, do it some more! Yeah! Groovy! Digit?

Melodiously and Joyfully will I utilize for very life-pleasure!!
They want to have the option of giving the US the finger.
Don't we all?
I do, and I live here! But not every waking minute, and not by knee-jerk default.
Somone, a wise man once asked, "Okay, does Apple want $50 million industry to itself, or have 10% of a $1 billion industry?"
More sheer fucking damage has been caused by Steve and Bill than any other forces in the industry.
The graphic that comes with the warning needs to be a small, limp penis surrounded by dollar signs.

Besides, YDL is a PPC hardware distro, not an Apple hardware distro.
Boxer Server - hardware
Teron PX - motherboard for hardware
This is not your father's Apple hardware. This is something new and very interesting.
Fiber. Fibre. Whatever. Fibre looks cooler. So do a lot of the Queen's English spellings, colour, flavour, armour, etc.
As long as we get Cathy Rogers to say knickers, bum, wibble, wobble, semprini...
