    Be careful if you build one on the moon, though. Those people will get uppity and use it as high ground to gain independence from the democratically-elected governments of Earth.

    We can throw a bigger rock though!

  3. Re:I do this currently.. on Ask Slashdot: Hardware Accelerated Multi-Monitor Support In Linux? · · Score: 1

    Reading the post two steps above mine or whatever.

    Though "dual monitor" seem like something which one would more likely search for than "sli", sli is even totally unrelated.

    Tried a new search with: nvidia x dual monitor
    Second hit there is: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/304.32/README/configtwinview.html

    Which make more sense.

    Third hit is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors

    But none of those mention what he was suggested to use?

    Anyway.. Whatever. Good to know where to find it later on if ever needed.

    Took me the first attempt when I knew what I was looking for.

    Google: nvidia x sli

    Second hit.

    Since this is Norway we can likely assume it is/was 200 and 50 m^2.

    Didn't knew about it but I like Razor-Qt.

    I also like the desktop in Parted magic which I think is among other things running LXDE? Parted Magic for whatever reason seem very fast to (I don't get why Ockular feel quicker in some distributions / setups than other.)

    I'm all ok with people switching to Qt.

    I'm ok with people writing applications for KDE to.

    I personally don't agree with whatever guidelines KDE people have for how to design user interfaces though. Toolbars, ugly drag holders, vertical tabs with rotated text! WTF?! Tabs too wide for the window where you have to scroll between them and so on..

    So much crap in the user interfaces. Also on this low-end machine which should had been killed a long time ago and be replaced by something much more powerful and will be so installing Qt and KDE programs in general pull in a lot of other stuff, like install digikam and get close to 500 MB of stuff. What's much better over in GTK camp is that you get many more programs to pick from, in general they are more independent (good and bad but then again some "KDE" programs (not really I guess) like Clementine doesn't botter with the common stuff anyway) and much smaller in size and you can pick a more freely of what you want without getting everything else at the same time.

    The KDE philosophy may be fine IF you can throw more or less unlimited resources on it and IF their solutions was the best ones available and IF everything used it. But that's not the case. Now it may still be quite ok if you at least have the first one solved..

    I guess OS X give less to pick from in general but often better / more clevery designed software and user interfaces and with Windows you of course got a shitload to pick from and something likely works good for you.

    Also what's up with the super power stuff? I assume it's just there to turn this news item into more of a story.

    Personally I think China will be a super power not long from now. They are growing economically and they are many. Simple as that.

    We could had been I'd say.

    Also I think 10 mbps is still pretty ok, 30 mbps is definitely ok/enough atm. More only serves a purpose if you're into piracy imho.

    Also I regulary see the argument and while many Swedes live in cities (I guess many individuals in the US do to) the country is about the size of California with 9+ million people.

    How many live in California?

    US is 22 times larger with 35 times as much people living in it. Sure some parts are in the wildness but is the average really that much worse / different?

    Anyway, what I really want to say is of course that some people likely even can get paid for having Internet access using their mouth.

    Which of course is totally off-topic and got nothing to do with the posts above.

    Of course there's things one can enjoy on the Internet even without any hands. And as you've shown reading and commenting on Slashdot and using Linux are some of them.

    Price on electronic product fell? OMG!

    Yeah, so it was a bigger drop. Each and every Apple product have fixed price until the next one arrive. Guess it doesn't sell as many units as they want it to so they dropped the price.

    Stuff that happens.

    They don't need to lower the price for someone who have already bought the thing. Wtf is that?
