Don't say that. It ruins all our jokes about how instead of spending billions on computers and becoming a computer superpower, we spent it on cloud seeding and...uhh...stealing the rain superpower crown from England. Looking at recent weather we must have been tremendously successful.
Its website FAQ says the solar array produces a peak of 1800 watts. I don't know enough about solar panels to derive any conclusions about this.
The UNSW photovoltaic department is a bit of a pride of UNSW (there's a big sign for it on the Elec Eng building in the middle of uni) so I expect they're not off-the-shelf solar cells.
So? Here in Sydney, Australia it's been the coldest December for a long time. Stats from one spot in the world is pretty much meaningless in an immensely complex system like Earth's weather!
The page you give says that while it is not conclusive it was very likely Franklin who created that statement, however someone else wrote the book it was in...
But the usability guidelines are the main thing that differentiates Gnome and KDE. I'm sure most Gnome users think that KDE is a bloated piece of crap, while most KDE users think that Gnome is a toy system that lets you do fuck all. Simplifying KDE will make it more like what current KDE users hate about Gnome.
I don't think you read my message very closely. KDE's not for everybody. Neither is Gnome. That is a good thing since people are different. If you want to change KDE to be just like Gnome then that would defeat the whole purpose of the choice of difference desktop environments.
Your solution, especially for Windows, involves huge difficulties for me as an advanced user. You're actually suggesting that if you use Windows and want to do something the least bit advanced then I should buy a new program or use a piece of shit like Regedit? I like KDE making it easy for me to do advanced things. You don't. As I was saying before, it's OK that Gnome hides advanced options since I don't use it. You obviously don't do many advanced things with your computer, but that's OK - KDE's obviously not for you.
I like it when trolls say they're not trolling. If you've never used KDE before don't bother commenting on it. I made a comment before showing a screenshot of KDE looking exactly like Windows XP then another one showing KDE looking exactly like Vista then another one with KDE looking exactly like Mac OS-X. I don't think I'll bother here.

It's funny that that's the reason why I detest Gnome - for some reason they got the idea that removing all the options that only 5% of users use is a good idea. Of course all the other options are used by a different 5% each time so in the end you've got the majority of users upset because the option they want has been removed. Note: Put to the side with an unknown and unguessable key combination counts as removed.
But that's OK because Gnome isn't for me.
Please, Gnome is a slim pick up and go desktop for new users, KDE is a customisable and flexible desktop for power, business or techie users. I like it this way, it gives everyone a desktop that they are comfortable with. As a techie, I want KDE to stay the way it is, please don't try to change it to something it is not.
I monitor dot.kde.org pretty closely and there's a few things notable here. Firstly if you look at KDE at the moment it doesn't look much different to KDE 3.x. This is because the frameworks are currently being finished and polished - the interface will be the *last* thing to be finalised - remember guys tip of the iceberg - there's a whole lot more code that you don't see than you do see.
Also, with this article specifically, a few of the graphics are temporary, most notably the background that's pretty obvious in ksysguard. Yes it's horrible for that app, no it won't be there in the finished version. It's a temporary background being used in several apps at the moment for a placeholder.
Also, the start menu isn't finalised yet from anything I've heard, that's the start menu designed specifically for Suse - it's been on Slashdot before.
KDE looks like it will be coming together quite quickly and quite soon. Several major components are pretty much complete and are being polished now. Looks like pretty fun stuff - don't believe anyone who says it's vapourware.
Don't be idiotic. I got the joke and it was pretty irrelevant to what I said.

You could have just looked it up and seen that it's been in Linux for a similar length of time (in 2.6.x). I just googled for "linux address randomization" and clicked the top link.
Just a note, address randomisation is in Linux kernel 2.6.x (just look up "linux address randomization" on google). I hate to break it to you mate though - all your features sound pretty but I seriously doubt that they will make the huge difference you're hoping for.
I would draw the picture of the joke going over your head but really - surely when reading that ice growing thicker in my freezer disproves global warming *something* tweaked your joke sensors...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the conclusion that the car draws slightly more power than a hairdryer.

Your argument doesn't make sense. If it's so helpful and easy to use, why is it not on by default?
As soon as a DRM scheme emerges at the top it will be broken. DRM is an impractical notion so it's not really surprising.
This is pretty old, but I see no reason why it wouldn't still work:

Only when it means Amarok on Windows and Macs. That's a good feature of KDE 4.

Also, a similar KDE article is at http://dot.kde.org/1167723426/
Read the comments there as well for some interesting info.

I wonder how many people were like me and actually checked to see if the GP had that in it? Troll credit for making me look twice!
Don't worry, the plant will grow and spread its seeds, and they will all come back.
Can't they do that now? Sure, the edit wouldn't last very long but they can still do it.
His point was that every single person who was looked at by a camera had their privacy infringed. Pretty much everyone in london were inconvenienced.

That link is dated from six years ago. I don't think that it should be counted as a good review of current software.
