    > desktop getting cluttered

    Use middle click to open the directory and close the parent, use the backspace key or the selector at the bottom of the window to open the parent again.

    > Metacity not popping up windows in the most logical places,

    In spatial nautilus they should pop up at the same position that they were at the last time you used it.

    You know that Shift-Ctrl-W will close all the parent windows, and that double middle clicking a directory will open the directory and close the parent, right?

    So its not related to the bugsquad, but rather, and almost direct copy of the gnome-love project instead.

    Fair enough.
    I still think "Quality team" is a complete misnomer

    Weel, seeing as the KDE quality team seems to be a misnomer to me from the description it looks like its a combination of the gnome bugsquad and the gnome-love project.

    Yeah, but you got modded straight up...which is usually the effect that claiming that you'll get modded down gets, because moderators don't like being secondguessed and like to show that they have some form of individuality even if it is merely by the selection of poorly fitting descriptions.

    Oh well. I'd call you a karma whore, but as far as I understand, funny no longer affects your karma.

  11. Re:Legal? on Kazaa Offices Raided · · Score: 1

    The distinction you are missing is the difference between creating and running.

    Ford created my car, but Ford do not run it.
    Wilkinson Sword created my razor blade, but do not run it.
    Bob the builder built the crackhouse down the road, but Dodgy Stevie is the person running it.

    Sharman created the Kazaa software, but they are also the people running the infrastructure used which is used.

    Which is why car-makers are not liable if their cars are used for hit'n'run and knife-makers are not liable for knife stabbings. The people who are running it are. If Jarkko Oikarinen was running an IRC server where it could be proved that most of the material there was copyrighted then I'd expect his home to be raided too.

    If 99% of the use of alleys was drug dealing I'd expect the cops to be stamping it out so that the other 1% can enjoy their alleys legitimately not be raiding the offices of the town councils who own them.

    I tihnk we've just got a faulty analogy here.
    Although, if I 99% of alley use was for drug pushing, I'd definetly be bitching to the town council to do something about it.

    Police bust the owners of crack houses when really they're the innocent person whose house is simply being used for an illegal activity.

    Jack is an ESR ... equivalent in the model railroad community.
