You can drag and drop to the kicker (taskbar) in KDE from the (start) menu, and I feel pretty sure that you can go the other way.
As far as I know, the kicker can only contain items that are already in the menu. If I'm wrong, please correct me and tell me how to do it, since I think it's stupid.
Perhaps drag and drop between the menu and the kicker is possible, but I'd very much like dragging from the file manager (in Windows, of course, they took the easy way: the menu, the quick launch bars and the explorer are all one and the same program).
Nothing, or virtual nothing, in Belgian media. There is, BTW, very little information on EU-matters in general, even though quite a lot of legislation is passed on EU-level. It's a shame really.
There is, of course, coverage of the top conferences, especially if there are riots. And about the current quarrels between Italy and Germany. But almost nothing about real decisions or lawmaking.
Very true, but that doesn't change my point that the text sounds more German than Dutch. (And BTW, I still think it's humorous, despite the fact that I'm not a native English speaker)
Anyway, it doesn't even sound german, but more like dutch
Hm... I'm a native Dutch speaker, and it doesn't sound Dutch at all. I only know a bit of German so I wouldn't try to say anything about the syntax, but lots of the word sound an awful lot like German, or are even German.

Phish Moves To FLAC
·
· Score: 5, Informative
FLAC is, in contrast to mp3 and ogg, a lossless compression method. This means that the quality is CD-quality, but the compression is not superb. Where mp3 or ogg roughly compress to 10% of the original size, FLAC compresses to 50%-60%.
How does this limit free speech? You can still say what you want, and if someone says something about you that is untrue, you have the right to post a clarification. Both the original text and the reaction are available for everyone to see, so there is no censoring.
IANAL so I'm not 100% sure about this, and I don't know the legal details, but I'm pretty sure it is a requirement for newspapers and magazines. The proposal just seems to be an extension to online publications.
I'm pretty sure the Netgear routers you talk about only handle layer 3, like linux' netfilter/iptables does. The expensive part is handling layers 4 and 5.
However, it's clear to me that if this device were to exist, quality of life would be dramatically increased for anyone who owned the device.
True, but on the other hand I'm afraid it would be a bad thing for innovation. Who will be motivated enough to put lots of time, effort and money in developing new stuff, if they know they won't ever sell more than a few items?
If the volt was based on the kilogram (and therefore a relationship exists between the two), and now volt is based on frequency, isn't it possible and wouldn't it be a good idea to base the kilogram on the volt? Then we don't need those perfect references anymore.
You sweat more *because* you need to cool down more, to lose the extra heat that was in the beverage.
If you leave the door of the refrigator open, or if you put hot stuff in it, it will work harder to cool down, but it won't be any cooler in it. And if it was already it at the maximum of its cooling capacity, it will warm up instead of cool down.
I had a professor who said the same thing, and I know people in Turkey and Morocco (amongst others) drink hot tea for that reason, but my experience is different. When I drink hot soup I get hot, when I eat ice cream or drink cold water/coke/ice tea I get cold.
The whole idea is that your body overcompensates, because its 'thermostat' is in the back of your mouth (or troath, don't remember) and it gets it contact with the beverage, measuring an incorrect temperature.
Now that may be (though personally I doubt it), but it still is counterproductive. When it's hot, your body needs to lose heat. When you drink something hot, you need to lose even more heat.

Reduce speed when braking? Ingenious.

Isn't that the way it's described in one of Asimov's books? (Or an SF novel by another author, I'm not sure, it's been a long time since I read it).

Grandparent has user id 69618.
Parent has used id 133181.
Parent says to grandparent "you must be new around here". Somehow something must be wrong.
I thought only the RC's and CVS versions include test-menus; AFAIK the releases don't have them.

She's not a candidate, she said yesterday.
P2P uses 60% from the available bandwidth, Windows Update uses 45%. That leaves ... uhm ... less than nothing for all the other stuff?

I think we should digitalize it and put in Kazaa. There will be thousands of perfect copies in no time.
And on top of that: if you eat lots of garlic, the people around will give you more breathing room.
