  1. Re:Worst "start" menu ever on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't You Running KDE? · · Score: 1

    ctrl+space+"fi"+enter is exactly what I use for KDE -- you just need to change the default keyboard shortcut in System Settings (it defaults to alt+f2).

    That said, I've never understood why it would use that awkward key combination as the default for the Run command.

  2. Re:What about free books? on Ebooks Now Outselling Print Books At Amazon · · Score: 5, Informative

    From the Amazon press release:
    "Free Kindle books are excluded and if included would make the number even higher."

  3. Re:BING on Microsoft Changing Users' Default Search Engine · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Other factors on Postal Service Surcharge Could Slash Netflix Profit · · Score: 1

    if you don't mind watching movies on your Windows-based Computer...

    Fixed that for ya.

  5. Re:Bad Grammar...? on The Google News Dilemma · · Score: 1

    Could it be a play on words for "Betta (as in Better) Not Make Money"? (Not that it's much better grammatically :)

  6. Re:Participate Because It's Open Source? on Ardour Digital Audio Workstation Now in Beta · · Score: 1

    I'm hoping that Tracktion will be the first killer Linux music app.

    It's not open source, but I'm using it on Windows and it's a great inexpensive program (well worth its meager $80 price tag). The developer has stated that if it should ever happen that can't make a living anymore developing it, he will open it up for everyone.

    The OS X port should be finished by August, and the Linux port will follow that in the fall.

  7. Elliotte Rusty Harold... on What to do when your registrar (NSI) ignores you? · · Score: 1

    ...runs the popular Java site called "Cafe Au Lait," and he just posted news yesterday about this very subject.

    Apparently, he went through a lot of trouble, but managed to get it done. You might try sending him an e-mail to see what he had to do.

  8. Re:I could be wrong on Interview With Linus · · Score: 3, Informative

    According to this, this interview appears to be from last May 18th.

    I suppose it could be a different one, but it's a Charlie Rose interview that discusses the same topics.

  9. Re:Nothing but trouble on Comcast Bidding To Buy AT&T's Cable-Modem Unit · · Score: 1
    I've had @home in Rochester Hills since last August, as does a relative of mine. I just looked at my original invoice from when they installed it, and they had me listed as living in Rochester instead of Rochester Hills. Have you tried to use Rochester instead?

    I've had that problem with other companies as well.
