But the applications like KOffice work just fine under any other wm, or even no wm. kdelibs and kdecore handles that stuff. The desktop shell portion is separate, no?
What is the difference between a "Desktop Environment" and a "Desktop Shell"?
I used to use KDE. At one point I discovered that I could replace "startkde" with "kicker & kdewin" for drastically shorter startup times and I noticed no difference in functionality whatsoever.
I then went to e16 and then to e17. What are these "Desktop Shells" lacking that a "Desktop Environment" provides? True, e17 does not have a system tray, but there are plans to add one, and I currently use a standalone tray.
Note: I do have "gnome-settings-daemon &" in my.xinitrc.
It isn't bizarre. It is very simple. To any business, an amount of money larger than the profit they will make from you until the person in charge leaves is worth more than your life. If you are an ex-customer, they'd rather see you die than lose $1.
Read NY's tax law. If I buy a spatula in Ontario county but I live and use the spatula in Monroe county, I have to pay to the state the difference in the Ontario's tax and Monroe's tax with my income tax returns. It gets better. If I buy a bottle of soap in Ontario county and use 27% of it in the parking lot, then take the rest home with me to Monroe county, I have to pay to the state 73% of the difference. The same logic applies to items purchased out of state and brought into the state.
You already have to declare any such items on your income tax return and pay. If you haven't kept every receipt for every out-of-county purchase for the year, you can calculate a flat rate based on your adjusted income.
Usually driving faster will help you out. If there are 10 lights in a row and you catch the first one just before it turns red, you can go fast enough to get hit the last one just after it turns green. On higher speed roads with lights far apart, this is particularly advantageous.
Also, driving faster will give you a buffer so when you are slowed down by the old lady in the Buick who s l o w s w a a a y d o w n before making a turn, and backs up 20 cars behind her, you still get the green.
It doesn't work like that either. Unless the light is green long enough for you to make it at half speed or it cycles exactly twice in the time it takes to get between lights at the intended speed, you'll get it red.
It doesn't even have to be a complex setup. One primary MX that knows the accounts, and one backup MX that accepts everything for its domains and relays it all to the primary.
Having read dozens of comments, it seems that you guys all have great ideas about what should and should not be part of such a curriculum. And we're all pretty sure that most teachers haven't the foggiest clue. So why you don't you approach your local school board and offer to give a presentation on the subject either to educate the teachers or to the students directly? You'll probably get further if you approach them as a representative of some group (e.g. your local LUG or your company) so they don't think you're a psyhco trying to get access to children.
I've been using the Awesomebar equipped betas for over a month. Sometimes the site I want is at the top of the list, sometimes it is third or fourth. It gets better for a few days, then gets worse for a few days, then gets better for a few days. Not only is it often bad, it is inconsistent.
Not only ads, but coupons. I buy the local paper for the food coupons, they save me more than the cost of the paper. The paper itself sucks, and I give it to my toddler to draw on.
Parent teaches 6 year old child about guns and gun safety. 6 year old shoots somebody. Parent is charged.
Parent hides gun in the house and tells 6 year old child nothing about it. 6 year old shoots somebody. Parent is not charged.
There is something very wrong here. Maybe we shouldn't teach our children anything, just put them in a padded room for 18 years. Then nothing can be blamed on us.
Power steering unit breaks (after making noise for 10,000 miles): I can still steer, it just takes more work. I have never heard of a tie rod, steering column, rack, pinion, or any other part of the steering system break without a either a significant crash beforehand or a lot of warning beforehand.
I have however, been cruising along in my older cars and have had the entire fuel injection system die, leaving me to coast to a stop. I would not want to risk my steer-by-wire or brake-by-wire system die because of corrosion or rodents.
Before you say that a shot brake line can ruin my brakes, all modern cars (since at latest the mid 70s, that is the oldest car I have owned) have dual circuit brakes, so if a line leaks you only lose two of your four brakes. I inspect my master cylinders and other brake linkages regularly.
You still need hardware to turn the wheel. Motors attached to the steering knuckle would increase unsprung weight, so you don't want that. You'll still have two tie rods, and you need something to move them. A couple of motors or a rack and pinion with a power steering unit. Assuming that you just need a small switch of some sort (as the power steering unit is doing most of the work), you've only really cut out the steering column and steering wheel (But you aren't cutting out the weight of the airbag components in the wheel.) No way are you cutting 95 pounds.
What you are doing is removing a significant geometric constraint - you don't need an open straight line between the driver and the steering control mechanism. You may be able to cut a little weight, but more significantly you can decrease the size of the engine compartment.
All of these advantages you get with a joystick you also get with a steering wheel (that isn't physically connected to the tie rods) and the same drive by wire system. The steering wheel is an easier UI because it allows you to reposition your hands on the device at any time.
All of that said, I personally do not want a car that I can't steer when the car is turned off (when I am working on the car), and I would be quite scared to drive a car that I can't steer when the alternator, computer, or power steering unit dies at 80 mph.
I have been using e17 (in alpha/beta, but quite usable) for a while, and used e16 for years before that. Why do I need Gnome or KDE applications? I frequently use Konqueror, but I could just as easily use another file manager and web browser. Yes, Konqueror does require you to have kdebase, kdelibs, and kdesktop installed, but I don't have the full KDE installed (I don't have startkde nor kwin).
Because the actual criminals are smarter than the actual cops, and the actual cops can't catch them. They can only catch the people driving safely 10mph over the speed limit.
Reasonable (though not the lowest) prices. Good customer support in English and French. Very nice and clean website and management tools. In France (outside the jurisdiction of ignorant US judges).

I don't really see the point in tweaking the algorithm. The old behaviour was perfect.

"Not only is it illegal, it is unethical and wrong."
"Not only is it unethical and wrong, it is illegal."
Both statements are completely valid, depending on what you are saying.
Illegal is not a subset of unethical and wrong.
Unethical and wrong is not a subset of Illegal.
Think of a two set Venn diagram with both sets represented as circles with exactly 2 distinct intersections.

"Does this mean GNOME is now a better desktop than KDE, or just that I have become so accustomed to GNOME that it's hard for me to give it up?"
No. It just means that you have not been enlightened.
No. I have installed the latest OOo release without Java. Still takes a long-ass time to load.

How about a right to make sure we can get together and defend the other rights. Something like this:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
