No, he meant jagged edges. There are plenty of MP3 players out there without curved edges, or with hard buttons. Clicking a sharp-edged button eventually hurts your fingers. The Ipod/Iphone don't have that problem.
The question is, why "informative" and not "interesting?" The second seems closer to funny than informative does. Most jokes hold one's interest, they don't tell you much new information.
I hate the bookmarks toolbar. Another toolbar taking up screen space just for a few bookmarks, when my address bar can autocomplete from those same bookmarks?! Why? I'm a bit extreme though, I use the classic compact theme, remove all buttons, and move the location and quicksearch bars (and the throbber, etc) from the navigation toolbar up to the menu bar. I then remove all other bars, and use all-in-one-sidebar for extra stuff. Very compact ui.
Re:Spice Rubbed Steak with Quick Garlic Fries

OSCON 2008 Roundup

· Score: 1, Troll
About 700 ml vegetable oil 2 (3.2 cm-thick) boneless top loin (New York strip) steaks (about.45 kg each) 15 cc spice rub for beef 1 (.45 kg) package frozen french fries (or strip-cut some potatoes, lazy american) 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 233 C.
Heat 1 inch oil in a 3.7- to 5.7-liter heavy pot over high heat until it registers 190 C on thermometer.
While oil heats, pat steaks dry, then rub all over with spice rub (and salt if necessary). Heat 14 ml oil in a 30-cm ovenproof heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear steaks, turning over once with tongs, until well browned, about 5 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven and roast 10 minutes for medium-rare.
Check oil while searing steaks, and when it registers 190C, begin frying french fries in 2 batches (add fries carefully; they may have ice crystals, which could cause spattering), stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Transfer fries with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper while hot. Return oil to 190C between batches.
Turn off heat under pot, then add garlic and fry until pale golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute, and transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels. Toss fries with garlic in a large bowl.
Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Slice steak and serve with fries.
It depends on how you interpret "just works". If you take it to mean you can use it with no training/manual without ever having seen the system before, of course it doesn't "just work". If you take it to mean that the built-in functionality is stable and fast, with enough functionality to accomplish most basic tasks, and an easy way to add third-party functions, then OS X does "just work". Windows and KDE4 don't "just work", KDE3.5 and Gnome (on linux with a package manager with repositories, say, ubuntu/kubuntu) and OSX do. All operating systems have a learning curve. Everything does. The stability and built-in functionality of those systems, along with the ease of extending that functionality and the depth of the learning curve are the factors that determine if something "just works".
Bullshit. Babies have to be taught to nurse. Granted it's simple, and most don't need much instruction, but there is a learning curve. Ask any OB/GYN nurse.
Tested on Kubuntu Hardy, KDE4.1 from the launchpad repos.
1) Clicking resize moves your mouse to the lower-right corner, and lets you resize. Clicking the mouse stops resizing. If you move the mouse just after starting, the window size will change. That's sort of the point. I had no problem getting back to normal size.
2) Not sure what's wrong here, it works for me. All my shortcuts work.
3) It crashed when I tried to add a kate launcher, but restarted instantly. Couldn't reproduce the resizing/layout problem you described.
4) Try turning off vsync, it caused Kwin to use a ton of cpu for me. Nvidia 8800GT.
5) With 4.0 it would crash for me on opening the "display" section, but that works now. Haven't noticed anything, but haven't tested thoroughly.
Demand for any non-volatile product, such as software, caps at about 6 billion. That's a lot less than infinity. People won't download Linux multiple times when they only have one computer, and some will chose something else or not have a computer, so it will average out to demand = world population. Probably a lot less. If price is zero and population is infinite, demand may be infinite.
That said, TrueCrypt now supports Operating systems on hidden partitions. So anything you need to use the hidden partition for you reboot into that OS. This would solve the problem in the article without requiring a special distro.
To be specific, it can be used as a blunt instrument in a blow to the temple or trachea. Removing the guard can allow it to cause lacerations, probably most effective when striking an eye. The batteries can be removed, shorted, and then ingested by the victim, potentially causing major internal damage. It can be held by the ends and used to choke the victim.

It could be stranger. TeX's version numbers tend towards pi.

Clearly not good advice for a DSK keyboard.
If violence ISN'T your last resort, you failed to use enough of it.
Your signature proves that "mistake" was merely an attempt to get both a funny mod and an insightful mod from one criticism. A most devious plan!
Also good for FPS games. When sniping, use small movements, adding precision. But when you need to turn quickly, move a bunch, and you do so.
Voice recognition + cubicle farm = inability to do anything useful. Voice recognition is loud and annoying in almost any setting.

Yes.

There are only so many pieces of music you can make with the same 7 notes.
Survival hint: Don't try that with bagpipes. You will sound worse.
