Well, I'll tell you that in my (limited) Linux experience, this is the first distro in years that I installed and didn't remove in frustration after a week
Yep, I feel just the same way. On my laptop, I have tried Fedora Core, Mandrake, SuSE and Debian, but only after installing Ubuntu 6.06, it feels like my Windows days can begin to end. I still have a Windows desktop, but only for my gaming needs.
When do these 12 principles take effect?
From the article:
WASHINGTON--Microsoft has announced 12 principles by which the company will guide its development of the Windows desktop platform, starting with Windows Vista and beyond.
how good of a resolution can we get of the lunar surface? I mean, can we put the 'We never landed on the Moon' theories to rest simply by pointing a good telescope up there and looking for footprints/lunar rover tracks?
I have the admit, that this is just something I read somewhere, but we can't see that small details on the moon. The Earths atmosphere will make the pictures to blurry (even with these auto-compensating-corrective lenses they use) and you can't zoom that much. Pointing Hubble at the moon is also a no-go, because it was made to look at objects far far away.
If they know the height of the refelctor on the moon and the height of their laser, then you will be able to calculate the distance between two other points - I guess. But I think the most importain part is that we know the distance over time and then it dosen't matter where you messure from.
Other earth-moon projects might rely on knowing the distance, but then they just have to calculate it.
I got a Casio GW-1200E. It's Solar powered and get the time set by atomic clocks (it can recive time signal from 2 places here in Europe).
Its the only watch I trust.:-)
How much better off would children be, in general, if the resources that went into making these cheap laptops were instead used to design and build inexpensive, village sized solar water distillation units?
You can help the poor people in two ways:
- Give the what they need
- Educate them, so they learn how to get what they need
It's not all the one or the other. Computers can be used to education.
when Sony tried this kind of stuff a few months ago they were forced out of the market. Why haven't gamers done the same?
This story has not reached the kind of news value, that the Sony case generated. When this happends, maybe Ubisoft will listen. I don't think that Sony was "forced out of the market" - but you could read the story in many different newspapers/site - not just in computer related news. This, ofcause, is not something Sony can live with, so they undid theri mistake.
The only place I have read about Starforce related problems, is Slashdot.
"TouchTone keypad is designed for inputting numbers, NOT letters"
QWERTY was a pain in the start for me, but I learned how to use it and now I do it at a decent speed. The same thing for typing a message on my phone. You can type a message pritty fast on both when you got the training.
but how do you actually ensure that the turbine rotates at a steady 3000rpm (to give you 50 cycles a second, which many appliances depend on)?
I don't know how they do it, but here in Denmark, we get alot of our power from windmills (and we export them big time too) and I don't see us having problems with getting around 50 Hz. But them again, I only notice it when there is no power at all (which is a rare sitiuation).:)
Google Desktop Search only monitor IE and therfor only support search throug its cache. No luck with Firefox - or any other browser. The same thing about Office suites, where only MS Office is supported. It might come later, as its still only beta.
Why do you assume that I thnik you don't like Firefox?
I haven't been able to reproduce your problem. The only time I saw the "error" was when an error 40 happened. I choosed to save a thumbnail instead of the real picture...
I don't think Firefox saves the image in the cache as in the "fit to window"-size.

In danish, SO means "Sow" (An adult female pig - taken from Wikipedia).
That's not a nice thing to call a woman!
From the article:
When was the last time you tired running Windows XP as a normal user?
Where do I download the screensaver?
Thank you for the correction. I'am sure that the article I read "somewhere" said I could not be done, but this shows that i can.
Oh, the good old "somewhere" article...... sure... right....
Thank you for the link!

My PIN is at least 11 and includes letters and numbers... you can do the same thing.

As far as I know, you can't see what the MAC address of a "device" is, when you get out on the Internet. All you have is an IP adress.
So you think that having personal data on a different partition will save your operatingsystem from malware?

Look at Google Desktop Search's homepage
No problems detected here....
What about Google, don't you use that?
The servers at NASA is still bussy, so this it the best - so far: Quesnel.png
When the servers are less slashdotted, you can get a better picture..
Muhahah, leeching on your tax dollars! :)
