  1. Re:I seem to prefer GNOME on Samba's Jeremy Allison On Linux's Future · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If only GNOME had drawers for the panels which included text. I have RDesktop links to 15 Windows servers, I can see the name of the server next to the text when I add the custom menu on the panel in KDE. I can't do that in GNOME.

    So, in this case, KDE gives me flexibility that GNOME does not.

    I know this is a troll and I should just let it slide by.....

    Christianity has brought far more death to far more people than any other religion in the world. It has suppressed and oppressed far more people, or least these acts have been done in its name.

    /sarcasm/
    please don't bother citing any evidence for this. of course this is true, it can't be anything other than true. Christianity clearly is at the root of Stalins gulag, Hitlers concentration camps and Sudans slave trade. Not to mention the many martyrs.
    /sarcasm off/

    Did you know that some Jewish Holocaust experts were upset that after tallying up all the people killed in the 20th century, that more people were killed because they were Christian than any other reason? Goodness, the Jews were beat out for the title of "biggest victim group of all time" and had a tantrum.

    It is just so much easier to shout from the rooftops your stereotypes and generalizations than to actually think about what you are saying, hmmm?

    "Art is all in the eye of the beholder."

    How about...
    Science is all in the eye of the beholder
    Engineering is all in the eye of the beholder

    No? Good, now you're catching on. In fact, any discipline is *not* merely in the eye of the beholder, but a consensus defined by the community of competent practitioners.

    If a consensus of scientists think that one person is a crackpot, then, guess what, he's a crackpot.

    Wow, let me try:

    If a consensus of scientists think that the world is flat, then, guess what, the world is flat.

    Hmmm, that doesn't sound right. If a consensus of [people group] think [a specific thing], then guess what, you have a consensus, not a truth.

    Truth is external to consensus and is immovable by what a mass of people think.

  5. Re:Flame away... on Where Should Space Exploration Go From Here? · · Score: 1

    We got here because we have turned into ourselves. We got here because we no longer believe there is anything more important than our own individual wants and desires.

    We are here because we have turned our back on God and placed ourself on the pedestal.

    We are where we are because we believe the rights of an individual trump any and all other things. We are where we are because we believe that science is the be all, end all answer for why and no longer the answer for how. It used to be that science was used to explain how God did this, or that; but we are so into the drug-induced trip of marvelling at our fingers that we have completely ignored the marvel of the one who created them.

    We got here because we don't believe anymore that humans are unique from all of creation and have dignity which comes from that uniqueness. When people argue that pets and cute , furry baby seals have equal (and some argue more ) rights as humans, and those same people have no compunction to destroy humans, we get to the state where contradictory states of mind are acceptable. People have fire in their eyes when they state "Well, that's fine for you; but I don't think that way..." or "There is no absolute truth..."; but boy oh boy, watch out when you take that to it's logical conclusion.

    A hero would be nice, but every husband and father being a man of God would be even better.

  6. Re:Absolutely! on Has Software Development Improved? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Someone mentioned IntelliJ for a Java IDE. I haven't used that tool, but I have used eclipse 2.0.1 from eclipse.org

    It does all that plus a bag of chips!

    Seriously, it works well for an IDE. Give it a look. The only thing I don't like is the GTK version doesn't include printing.

    what makes you think they started the audit now. Maybe they started a long time ago and haven't been able to get a hold of the authors
