It is funny however, how you people respond when someone pretends not to know how things work in the Microsoft world. I'm afraid that, in the end, the joke's still on you. And you do seem to realize this, on some level.
Did you think that up yourself, and do you consider it remotely normal to say stuff like that? Does someone need to point out a couple of stable Islam societies to you? No, i didn't think so.
A sig is handy to make a smart or political or funny remark. A flat out racist sig like this does not show intelligence or a sense of humor.
Not on a AMD64 3400+ with a Gig of memory, thank you very much. And those proprietary scripts are GPL nowadays. So i would advice you to try out the new and very open OpenSuSE 10.1 (somewhere in April, you can try out the Beta releases now or 10). But seriously, years ago YaST was a nightmare at times, nowadays it is solid.
...it makes you look incoherent. Then, please go to Trolltech's website and have a look at the list of commercial programs (Unix and Windows) that use Qt. After you have done that, please feel stupid.
Oh, and i would like you to explain again how Qt can be closed-source when everyone can download the sources.
Do you really think there's less opportunity to loose ones interest or goal with incremental development? Sorry, I really don't see why. Maybe one of those "interesting" moderators could explain.
In fact, I think incremental development is the perfect way to loose focus of what is important. And, worse, to loose cohesion within your developer groups. A powerful "heads-up" in the form of fresh, new goals is important to keep everyone's drive and interest alive.
I also think that the Gnome desktop has lost much of its focus years ago. I RTFA, saw the screen-shots and wasn't really impressed by all those shiny new things. IE: "gedit, with a number of source files open, can save to remote servers". Now what madness is that? It is not the job of gedit at all to save files remotely. You want your DE to offer network transparency, not your apps, for cryin' out loud! (maybe I misunderstand, and maybe Gnome does offer network transparency like KDE does, I wouldn't want to miss stuff like that for the world however).
And to me, stuff like that is exactly why I find Gnome unworkable. Of course, I also think KDE is the best thing since sliced bread, so don't take it from me..
Well, I always thought "quality" to be an objective descriptor. And in the case of displays quality is synonymous with lack of distortion. Or how "natural" the image is. The JVC consumer model probably conforms to what the non-professional expects from a tv, but that doesn't make it a high quality picture.
I'd would like to see the units myself, actually, and see how "bad" this consumer model is. And I would *really* like to see the professional unit. I was was thinking to myself when reading the description; "I could like with that display!". And then I saw the price...
I'll tell you. There's no such thing as a "god". It's just a silly notion we humans inherit from our "dark" pre-science days. The reason so many people fuss over it is because the cognitive dissonance between the "believes" and the "knowledge" is enormous. And most people will simply never be even able to see the conflicting believe-sets they own. You are a bit smarter than that, you can see there is a problem. Hold on to that and think about what i said. There's no god, we have no soul, and when you die, you do not go to heaven. Sorry.
You are mixing up your arguments here (or the anti-evolution fud is really getting of the scale). Because creationism holds up God as reason for it all, it is creationism that cannot be proved, and thus is not a theory. How would you prove God did it all when you can't even proof a god exists.
Evolution theory is tested every frigging day when a evolution scientist evaluates his data.
Ever been to some big demonstration, open air music festival, sports event, or any other public happening? Chances are, the Red Cross was also there. And the fact that they haven't done much for you lately means that you didn't feint or fall. Or that you don't go out much.
What bothers me is that the FOSS community didn't seem to take this technology seriously until Microsoft announced it was going into Vista.
You're forgiven because you said "seem". Don't be bothered, the discussion over eyecandy in the FOSS community is as old as the GUI. Heck, for some the GUI alone is eyecandy.
"On April 13, 1993, several Iraqi nationals were arrested in Kuwait and charged with plotting an assassination attempt against former President Bush as he visited Kuwait that month."
So-o-o, Iraqi's were arrested in Kuwait and accused with planning to assassinate another countries head of state, isn't that convenient for the Kuwait state? You must be stupid if you just believe that.
And occasionally pretty poorly. I was amazed that Powell's cock and bull story before the UN went down so easy. Vague insinuations around a mystery bunker, pictures of (later: artillery meteorological balloon) trucks which were obvious mobile laboratories. Come on! And he had the nerve to mention the aluminum tubes and the yellow cake, when both stories were already suspect.
Isn't it much more likely that current affairs are just another sorry move on the chessboard? And it seems to me that the current players are particularly rotten and bold in the game.
Those are not issues, as long as backups exist. Even a simple configuration where a mirror of the home directory is made on a regular basis protects against harddisk failure. And i don't know if you ever had a hd failure, but i realized it soon enough. Obviously, failed backups are of use to none. But protection of your data is matter of weighing your options against your need, and keeping it simple is in your own interest. Generally there's no need for obscure backup software with convoluted backup schemes. And home users are advised to mirror and/or burn their important data, so that surprises are unlikely.
Ok, but http://runningonalcohol.tripod.com/id26.html say that "it will actually get better mileage and/or more power" than gas (which can't be bad). And you can convert a gas powered car to ethanol, not to biodiesel. So, maybe ethanol has more chance than that.
Most people here will agree with you. And if you had read before replying you would have seen that shipping food to Africa wasn't presented as good idea. On the contrary. Ethanol however, can ONLY be an opportunity for anyone, and maybe also for Africa, think about it. And if you don't want to plant corn for ethanol, then don't, the Europeans will dump their surplus really cheap. Besides all that, I don't think that exporting oil is doing Africa a lot of good now.
Boy, you're so wrong it's unbelievable. In fact, hemp can be harvested twice a year in most places, in warmer areas in can be a year round crop. And hemp happens to provide more than four times the amount of cellulose then corn of cane. Hemp can be used to produce paper, but also to produce textile because of its very long fibers. It's an excellent cellulose source. Also, hemp could be are very nice boost to farmers, for the reasons i mentioned above. And farmers can need a little boost.
Oh, your "solution" does have everything to do with your paper industry. It could have become the number one source of cellulose (and not harvesting of trees, for crying out loud). But it was prohibited in 1937 after a lot of lobbying of DuPont (yes, THAT DuPont) and W.R. Hearst. Yes, the Hearst famous for his newspapers and timberland.
I don't know what you're trolling here for and i question your motives.

"Where islam prevails, society fails."

Are your out of your friggin' head?
Isn't that sweet; just echo some false old platitudes about KDE as a AC and bingo: 3 interesting.

Then you are a idiot, sir.
Like you said: "quality in production", so that's something different again.

Here's hoping the result isn't half-baked.
Why would the result be half-baked?

Indeed.

Don't be sorry, i know Bill isn't.

Well, if that were the choice, i'd stick with Georgie. He is probably more into freedom than Kim, and better looking to boot!
