Oh, I like all the longer Too Dark Park remixes (Shore Lined Poison, Tormentor, Spasmolytic), the Testure SF Mix, and above all the completely reassembled Mirror Saw (dub mix) and Censor (extended)...
The Last Call version on Brap is an early demo, no? I like the "primitive" analogue sound on disc 3 and The Dragon Experience. Have a Running Back & Forth remix, EracTou from the Underworld soundtrack...
If you will excuse this bit of pedantry:p... the extended Worlock ed(it) later relabeled "Warlocked" is older and different from Rhys Fulber's "Eye of the Beholder" remix you linked to (one of the better tracks on that dismal Remix Dystemper disc, though I haven't listened to it in years)
I've never been able to configure dual screens via KDE's own utils. For the Multiple Monitors system settings module to become active at all, I have to have set up Xinerama already, either through xorg.conf or by using Nvidia's own handy-dandy nvidia-settings GUI tool. (However, I vastly prefer TwinView to Xinerama -- which sort of does the same (one desktop, dual screens), only with Kwin's compositing enabled. (Compositing doesn't survive turning off the second screen on the fly, though. Don't know why that is...:/ I prefer compositing not least because I get slight tearing effects otherwise.) (This is not a well-composed message.))
I'm trying it now. I've also been trying the 6.whatever-it-was unstable release and Chromium. None of them work well with external applications. Chrome seems to rely on xdg-open there, which doesn't always work out.
When I click a.deb file, it's downloaded to my configured downloads folder -- no chance to feed it to gdebi-kde or kpackagekit or some such installer GUI instead. (I'm on Kubuntu 10.04 here.)
If I then opt to "Open" the downloaded file (from within Chrome), it'll end up running "debian-view": a shell script that you'd never even notice if you haven't launched Chrome from the command line.
If I pick "Show in Folder" instead, I get this (again, at the console): unknown mime-type for "/path/to/my/downloads" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
Ah.
As for getdeb.net's fancy "Install this now" buttons, Chrome will run xdg-open on the apt-URLs; again, I have no choice but to accept this or else pick "Do nothing". xdg-open will then launch x-www-browser, which (currently) points to...Chrome. So Chrome brings up a new empty window and does nothing. I've got apturl installed but it doesn't help. Works in Firefox, though.
I've looked through all the preferences there are and couldn't find anything related. Too bad, I've already gotten used to the Anna Sui butterflies theme:p
On the one hand, I do think it's good that people in general are becoming more aware of privacy issues, and this article is a symptom of that.
On the other hand, I wonder if external tools aren't just catering to or perpetuating a sense of helplessness in the face of Facebook's (certainly convoluted) settings: "Oh, you can't trust yourself to understand how to do it right, you need this third-party utility to be safe."
But I guess I'm not really trying to make sense of the settings either. I just go through them one by one.
I see your point. I think I'd just start worrying about my grasp of the tools' "reach" and trustworthiness in addition to worrying about Facebook's admittedly huge "options hierarchy".
Is it really so hard to simply go through Facebook's privacy settings yourself and consciously set them to whatever you want (as far as that's possible)? Same with all these warnings people pass around through status updates. I keep seeing suggestions to the effect of "click this, then that, then that, then 'wet your pants in public', then 'no'" only to find that I've already done that anyway. If you're really concerned about your Facebook privacy, what's been keeping you from checking out the relevant options yourself? They're not hidden, they're just... many. Or is there something that external "helpers" can do that you can't do yourself?
For menus I'd agree. I navigate those by reading, not squinting at the itty bitty icons. For a task switcher, though -- I already know more or less what I'm running, and I really don't have a problem identifying it by icon anymore -- although I suppose it takes some getting used to when you're unfamiliar with the apps. I also find "decorative elements" less distracting (easier to not focus on) than a strip of tiny bits of text. And I guess I finally found an iconset I don't mind looking at;)
What a sane decision. Why not lose the top panel, too? I've been going with a vertical panel (only) in KDE for a long time now. Even before I had a widescreen monitor it saved the "right kind" of space. (KDE 4's taskbar widget automatically strips the text off the buttons at that size/orientation, leaving only icons... they're usually informative enough.)

Here's the live video that normally goes with that track - Skinny Puppy - Worlock (live in Dresden, Germany, Doomsday Festival 2000)
And I just bought an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum card to ensure a Pulseaudio-free, hardware-mixed audio future...

It came up all "good" for me. But I "shared" it nonetheless.

To get back on topic: I had to restart Firefox because Flash had somehow lost audio in the meantime.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but in what way is it a boon to the deaf community? I don't get it.
There's always this bit from one of the Matrix sequels...
But that would not convey the same sense of an inconveniently pre-disabled feature.
Sun Java is in the "partner" repository. You have to un-disable (...) it first.
Don't worry, I'll mod it up for you!
(wait... *groan*)
No, and it's trivially easy to move the buttons around in KDE using the System Settings GUI.
I know of a place that uses floppy disks to move files between the machines on their LAN. And a desktop calculator to fill in Excel spreadsheets.
It does have the desired effect here, using Kubuntu Lucid.
Removing "splash" from the kernel options was all I ever had to do. Isn't that sufficient?
Tried http://getdeb.net/ and http://playdeb.net/ yet?
*hugs*
