  4. Re:by the time... on Gestures For The Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Well, that is true. I guess it's a matter of taste. If you're a mouse-user, I can understand it's a good thing to be able to emulate a keyboard with your mouse. But as a keyboard-user it's utterly pointless. Mozillas typeahead is, on the other side, a good reason for me, and probably for many other keyboard-huggers, to trash the mouse ;)

    So imho typeahead is a bigger "breakthrough" then guestures.

    It's even faster to typ a N on your keyboard. Or mod+n or whatever... May be fun to try for a day or two, but stupid indeed.

    Unf! Sorry for replying my own post, but I just couldn't stand leaving the fals message there.
    128-bits md5sum wouldn't make it a 16^128, but more like a 16^(128/8)=16^16~=1.84E19 which is still a lot, but not even near 16^128, haha, but still, my primary point stands.

    > "This means that you will never ever, in the life of the universe, be able to find nor contrive / construct a file with an identical hash."

    Sure you would. Let look at a 128-bits md5sum. It's hexadecimal, thus you would have 16^128 combinations . That is a hell lot of combinations! So the possability that your Dream Theater mp3 has the same md5sum as Joes garbagefile isn't very big :-P But there sure isn't a "never in the life of the universe".

  11. Re:Hypocrite on Dvorak: Linux too much like Windows · · Score: 1

    I've been using Pro Engineer in school for about a month now. It's all based on menus. Some menus are as deep as five submenus. And if you do just a little misstake, you have to start over again.

    Compared to a commandline like AutoCAD, Pro E sucks.

    In most cases a commandline/gui combination is best, imho. Of course, for stuff like filehandeling, textediting, music-players, etc, a gui is totaly bloated.

    Why are you trolls complaining all the time? This is cool. I cannot see how one can complain when it's free, and it _is_ music! It's even somewhat good ;) Everything that is created for a good good non-destructive reason is uncomplainable (as long as it's free [as in beer and speach])! If you don't like it, don't download it. Go buy yourself a windows xp cd for $$$ and buy the windows themesong cd while your at it.
