Personally I like it because the _story_ in general is a hell of a lot better than hollywood crap.
I go and watch hollywood films once a week at the cinema, and love the action etc. But sometimes you need to watch something with a bit more bite. For that there is anime.
Of course, you get the occasional good holywood film, and the 'bad' anime. (good and bad defined in as above)
Have you considered that that is exactly what SCO wnats? At least the "buy their..company" bit.
Imagine you had a company that was dying rapidly, and noone would buy it. One solution that you might try is to try and force someone to buy it - by bugging them enough.
My guess would be that the kind of people that want linux on a PS2 would be the kind of people who together wouldn't mind, and probably enjoy, compiling everything for it.
Well the idea is that the mouse stays near the top. In general you don't access the windows start bar anywhere near as often as you access the toolbar and file menu. This is why the status bar is at the bottom - since your mouse should rarely have to go down there.;)
One GUI 'expert' said that the start menu is in the bottom right hand corner because in general the mouse will be quite far away from it, and so you can just shoot the mouse down as far as it goes and click. This works in most enviroments - gnome(panel), kde (kicker), fvwm.. but not the newest windows (tut tut).
Whether a browser downloads it or saves it or whathaveyou is supposed to be determined by the mimetype. Unfortunetly IE went and wrecked this whole system (opening up a whole host of exploits iirc)
The other way of looking at this is that it should be at the bottom because the file menu etc are at the top. One of the fairly standard ui standards is that the screen should be balanced - i.e. roughly equal numbers of 'bars' at the top and bottom, so that the display window is in the middle of the screen.
I can think of one nice and simple contridiction to your comment. If you replace "add x" with "sub -x". That wouldn't affect anything. (Assuming not self modifying code, the instruction length for add is the same length as sub, etc etc)
Steganography requires that it is impossible to prove that data is being hidden there. (Without reference to other material, etc etc).
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (09 FEB 02):
steganography
Hiding a secret message within a larger one in such a way that others can not discern the presence or contents of the hidden message. For example, a message might be hidden within an image by changing the least significant bits to be the message bits.
> El-Khalil concedes that the method is imperfect -- an application that's been impressed with a secret message has considerably more "negative subtractions" than an unadulterated program, making it easy to pick out through a statistical analysis.
Note that as far as I remember, stenography by definition is supposed to make it imposible to prove that there is data hidden there - one step further than normal encryption. It's not so much as about hiding the data as being able to deny its existance. One reason for this is if you have encrypted data on your disk, then courts can demand the password for it. Stenography allows you to insist there is no hidden data.
Well it has been an absolutely huge effort to get eevrything over to gcc 3.x, taking a very long time (over a year?) Now that that is complete, you should find the latest-and-greatest added much quicker. (The move to gcc 3.x was why kde 3 was put on hold)
transparent ?terms work by just displaying the background picture appropriately translated.
kde menus work by taking a picture of the desktop, and using that.
Transparent cursors, as far as I know, are 'the real thing'. As for the transparent cursor over a movie - my guess would be that it depends on how the movie is being drawn. If it is being drawn like every other window, then it should work fine - however xine and mplayer by default don't do this, as this is slow. Instead they more-or-less draw directly to the video card. This probably won't allow the shadowing to work.
Also things like TV cards draw directly to video, so I doubt shadow would work on them either.

I agree in prinicipal, but sometimes you just gotta say sod it;-) I would not lose any sleep about undertipping someone who bullied me for several years.
I sold sliding and folding walls to companies - enjoyable job.
You could tell within the first few words whether they were serious or not. Everyone I spoke to was polite, and the occasional one would joke about. I remember one conversation went something like "Hi! I'm just wondering if you have any use for sliding and folding walls." "Yes." "Big ones?" "Definetly" "Blue?" "Yep" "Thank you sir, I'll send some to your address.". I actually remember who this was for as well - it was the guy in charge of the jubilee extension, and I had called him onsite iirc.
Before you give me a hard time about being a telemarketer, I was young and neive, and too young to work at McDonalds..
Renaming files is one of the things that doesn't seem to be standardised on.
Many distros include a program called "rename" that takes a regular expression search-and-replace type expression and uses perl to rename files passed to it accordingly.
For example: rename s/^10/20/ 10*
For example for your first example.
rename s/^(..)10/\120/ for the second.. and so on.
It does seem that some distros don't provide this program by default, and you might have to install it yourself tho. Even worse, there is a another rename program that doesn't work anything like this floating around.

Perhaps a system a trust system could be used. That way you can see what people like you liked.

Who marked this as a troll?
The grand-parent was did not read the article, and didn't even apply his intelligence, or even common sense.
More and more posts are just sprouting rubbish, and getting marked up for it.

er yes.
It is impossible to PROOVE 100%.
What else do you think "can not" means?
It's my polite way of saying "you dumb ass".

True - this is why you should make sure there is no original - i.e. use it on home photos.
;)
This is also why the data should be encrypted before hiding it in the message
