  1. Finally! on KOffice 2.0.0 Now Open For Firefox-Like Extensions · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been waiting for the Firefox extensions idea to spread to other software since it came out!

    Sadly I have no time, to realize my dream, of re-implementing the coolest UI features of Lotus WordPro in KOffice. (Eg. InfoBox, but with keyboard-only control. [To minimize the keyboard-mouse switches, but maximize the usability trough showing what's available.])

    Yeah right. Goat-farmers who had such a miserable life that they fell for religious bullshit, care about you being controlled by your government, and want it to become even more powerful.
    It's like saying the redneck neocon cowboys/farmers of the bible belt want the Irani government to get even more powerful, including in controlling the Irani people.
    How much more egocentric can you get?

    The point is, that the likeliness did NOT get significantly bigger. One question: Do you even remember, that one week after 9/11, some tenthousands of Indians died in landslides and floods in India? (I'm not talking about the Phuket earthquake!)

    The attack in Iraq was the best thing you could do, to foster the anger down there, and to get as many Americans (10x the deaths of 9/11) and Iraqis (100x the deaths of 9/11) killed as possible. Please realize, that the biggest terror treat to you, and to the rest of the world, is your own government. Then comes China (Which works very close with the US and Arabic governments). And then come their own governments.

    The funny thing is that both you and them hate your and their government. I say ally, and kick them out. ^^

    You forgot that in this conflicts, both sides are heavily infected with religion (a disease that gets you, when you try to make life ok, when it isn't), and are even more manipulated by churches. In that state, you can make every bullshit make sense. The only cure is giving them the stability and education that they need.
    That's why my only donations ever, go to good schools of such countries. (Those that don't teach their religion's equivalent of creationism.)

    I see "terrorists" and "neocons" as people that desperately need help, and are misunderstood as evildoers by those, who still cling to outdated concepts like guilt. (Everyone does what he does, because he thinks this is morally the right and a good thing, and/or because he is forced to do it. You can always track back the "guilty" for generations and whole centuries. It's all just causality. Blaming somebody helps nobody. It just makes things worse.)

  7. Re:Didn't plan on buying another Asus EEE anyway on Asus Slaps Linux In the Face · · Score: 2, Informative

    Remove Flash completely! Then try it in safe mode. If it stops crashing, try it without safe mode, but still without flash. Chance of non-crashing: 99%.

    I found Flash to be the problem for those 99% of all my Firefox problems. Plugins like that should run decoupled from Firefox, in a separate process, or a virtual machine.

    Sure it applies to light. (I think. ^^) And it works only with laser, because only there the waves are perfectly in sync. I think that is GPs point.

    Because so you are prepared for the headache that those line-scanning high-energy beamers will give you too.

  20. Anedcotial experience with laser beamers. on A Widescreen Laser Projector In Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    I heard from a friend who works at a cinema, that some years ago, they tried to build laser projectors. They were incredibly sharp and brilliant. So brilliant in fact, that the viewers got their faces painfully burned. (Dunno if just from passing by. Or from looking at it, which would mean their eyes got damaged too.)

    It may only be an anecdote. But I do not trust these things. ^^

    Oh, and with the massive parallelism of LCD and DLP displays, I was happy for the not very healthy flickering of line-scan displays being gone. So another point to preferring non-laser devices.

    But I am curious what new knowledge the future brings. :)
