Well, it quite often doesn work. Have you used it? Have you tried to edit more than one entry at a time? Try removing items and see if they actually go away. This has plagued KDE for at least 2-3 years now from what I have seen. Right out of the box SuSE 9.2, for instance, has 3 mistakes on the menu. If you go into the editor, 3 items show as subitems for the a general menu label. However, on the menu itself, they aren't there but rather execute from the submenu item. So, for instance, clicking on Games, and Boardgames ( I think it is ) will launch Chess which appears to be an "item" in the editor. That may be a problem with KDE general but if you've ever had to edit several things at once, you would no doubt have seen its problems. I've observed similar issues in other distro's as well running KDE.
What about the menu editor?

There would appear to be no mention of improving the menu editor. This should be a priority.
Well, they will get their existing base; those who already use MSN, for instance. I think most people who already use various other sites and applications will go where they are comfortable. Now if they implement a client that interacts with their blog and integrate it into the next Windows then they will obviously increase their use base.
Another case of "Anything you can do I can do better...though not necessarily as securely" from M$. Say it with me, kids, Microsoft is to software as Satan is too????
As stated already, you should always make it more difficult to infringe on freedom. Perhaps you're not democratically inclined, but we in America are (at least the majority of us). There are legitimate uses for guns. And killing, in and of itself, is not immoral. Taking innocent life, however, is ("thou shalt not kill" is better understood "thou shalt not commit murder"). All of this is OT, however. The technology Kazaa and other P2P companies deliver has a general, legitimate use: the medium for passing data from one client to another directly. That, in and of itself, is not illegal and therefore shouldn't be infringed upon. That some people use it illegally is not a sufficient reason to infringe on its existence no more than drug trafficking is a reason to outlaw building a driveway for a home that is a known crackhouse.
Exactly, they can make the points in principle and it's so simple even a record company exec can understand it. This is where P2P should win hands down. It's not the medium that's the problem, it's the infringement. Guns don't kill people, Kazaa doesn't infringe on copyrights, people do.
Yeah, I don't know how many times I've said it,
"Honey, if you MUST cruise sublimedirectory.com do it with Firefox!"
Okay, ZERO! But how I wish she would....(sigh)
This is what happens when you tax dollars fund higher education. (que gameshow announcer voice) "From the people who brought you government grants for why pig dung smells and global warming comes 'Nation Parks on Mars!'"...sigh...
Studies show conclusively that lack of sleep is detrimental to problem solving. Even more important, sleep HELPS problem solving. You brain will actually work out issue in your sleep. Which is why "sleeping" on the problem is actually a legitimate problem solving skill.
I contracted for several years during the "bubble" and enjoyed it. I also converted to full-time on at least a couple of occassions. Generally, this employer is correct. It's much easier for a manager to get a contractor in the door than a full-time employee. FT's have to go through HR. Also, many companies require a specific amount of time for opportunities to be offered in-house. This is all good and for good reasons. Manager, however, may have special needs that means getting a specific type of candidate. Utilizing the contract process, they can get a specific skill set, then once that person is working, start the actual "hiring" process. My opinion is, if you're getting decent assurances that you will go perm, take the job. If the contract is lucrative for you, save the extra money and hedge your bets.
Got my vote! Installed it for the first time this week. Why can't all distro's do this? I would gut a lot of the apps in it, but at least they are decent apps! All the plugins are done, what more could you ask for? Mepis may very well represent a paradym shift in not only LiveCD's but distro's in general.
That's cool. I think there are those who look at C14 dating as good back to a given time frame, and I forget just how far. It's interesting how you have to move to the hypothetical to build a timeline going back into the hundreds of thousands of years because of of possible and probably events like effects of radiactive activity and such. They may be correct, but understanding that you will likely be subject to such shifts in theory because of inconsistancies and willing to re-think your previous positions will just make you a better thinker is important.
Carbon dating isn't perfect. I realize that insistance on it's infalibility is what many scientists (not all) bank on. Besides, the great "window" of time used has to make one wonder sometimes. I think, however, that more and more data comes available that does shoe that man's presence on earth is out of kilter with previous thought. There have been fossil evidence, for instance, putting man's existense in time with many ancient animals that were thought to be long before our existence. The point is, man's knowledge changes and he has to rethink his previously held ideas based on the evidence that is presented to him. And adjusting timelines isn't new, even with carbon dating involved.
I think M$ is planning this as a last ditch. I think they are being very wary of how they approach Linux as a competitor in hopes that suits like SCO's will stifle Linux. Now that it's becoming obvious that SCO's suit isn't likely to succeed, they are hedging their bets with patents. I think this could ultimately backfire on them even if they hold these patents. Prior art is one aspect they aren't figuring on. Another is the fact that Linux is being adopted by a lot of companies and governments. To go into court in, say, 3-4 years and try to sue bsed on these patents might not sit well with a judge. Especially some of the more silly patents. They could come off as looking like they let the patents go unchallenged and simply enforced them in an effort to stifle competition. Whatever the case, having IBM, Novell, and more big companies backing Linux is only going to help.
Probably true, but getting outraged early is what helps stop this idiocy. This is the kind of taxation the Left wants for all of us. Frankly, the person who proposes this should be escorted out of the country.
Does it matter? These years are guesses (imagine that, scientific guessin?). Besides if they were off by 25K years this time, in 50 years they could be off by another 25K or 100K.:)
Cool! I noticed that in your report and was about to post in BOLD TYPE! Hang in there, Man. As I posted elsewhere, you might consider a trip to Atlanta, seeing as the CDC is here. A thought. Either way, hang in there and hopefully someone has an answer. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will be something like, "Okay, soak 4 white grapes in gin. Then drink a pint of ale every 10 minutes until the grapes turn brown....do they ever even turn brown?"
I might suggest a trip here to Atlanta. Emory University Hospital is located right next to the CDC here.
On the other hand, finding an old country doctor might do the trick. I once had a gland or something under my armpit swell. Local hospital in Alabama at the time had no clue what it was. We were dirt poor in those days and a friend of ours drove us out to this old doctor's house. He looked at it, hobble back behind his counter and drug out a an old medicine bottle (remember when persciptions came in those old brown bottles?) and scowled, "Here. Give 'im this 3 times a day and put a heat pad on it!" My Mom said, "Okay, when do you want to see him again?" "See who?" he said. "My son, to see how it's doing?" she replied. "See how what's doing? There won't be anything to see!" he said. He was right. You can insert all the jokes about how hard it really is to stump an ER doctor in Alabama, but the old dude was right on!

Gartner, whose wrong on so many other fronts, is going to get this right?

Sontag: These 20-30 licensees means we've covered the cost of the paper to print the licenses and there was enough left over for this cool Chia Pet!

At what point can we's grant 'em marrage licenses!

Are you on crack? No, I know it's OT, but are you?
Just price their LCD monitors alone and your theory is easily quelled.

No, the judge ruled he didn't break the law he was charged with.

Exactly! Sinkholes are cause by water table drops or drainage issues under ground. How far are these guys burying this stuff?
