Been carrying out an experiment on/. moderation - seeing if the reason I've not seen modpoints was my reading habits. I plan on doing a quick note in my journal. However, right now typing is a bit hard because I have a touch of (hopefully temporary) ulnar neropathy in my left hand - I think its from hyperextending my elbow in my sleep. My MD recommended getting a sling and sleeping in that, and I have a nerve conduction scheduled for a week from now.
The "Wall hack" I was thinking of was something along the lines of a THz imager tied to a HUD - nice to spot what's broke.
As for the annoying drunks - mix some DMSO and some capsisum and squirt'em with that! Hmm. Wonder if ipecac + DMSO would work....
But then there's that whole "Do no harm" thing....
And have you ever wished for a "wall hack" while working?
(Actually, given some of the medical diagnostic tools being worked on which present the patient's data on a HUD, we are rapidly approaching the day when a wall hack WILL be available for doctors...)
First of all, this preference is not there by default. GCONF, much like Window's RegEdit, requires you to know the type of a key if you need to create it.
So if/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser does not exist, you have no idea if it should be a boolean, an int, a string, or what.
Second of all, in nautilus-2.5.6-1 this does not work. I've tried - at least, it does not work if the key is a bool. I have not had the patience to try all possible combinations of type and value.
As another poster asked, define "rural". I live 10 miles outside of Wichita, KS. Prior to 1997 the 2 acre lot my house is on was a wheat field. I have DSL, yet heat with propane, use well water, and have a septic field rather than city sewer. Rural enough? Yet I have a 9 minute commute to work.
I work at a leading communications test equipment company doing DSP, embedded software, and UI design in TCL/Tk. I get to play with 10 million gate FPGAs, 60MSample/second digitizers, microwave comms gear, and stuff that I am not allowed to talk about.
Check out our job offerings - you might just fit.
Now, just up the road (I35, to be exact) is Olathe, KS - a suburb of Kansas City, (KS|MO), wherein there are SEVERAL high-tech job centers.
Down the road is Oklahoma City - again, a city with a fair number of tech jobs, wherein one may live outside the city yet commute without too much difficulty.
Beleive it or not, not all tech development goes on on the coasts. Do a bit of research.
As many others have already said, your best bang for the buck is to reduce the amount of cooling you need - solar film on the windows, awnings, trees to block the sun.
Next, get the cool when you can - you did not indicate if you are in a dry or wet climate, but if it is desert like, then open the house up at night and get a whole-house attic fan. Pull in the cold at night, cold-soak the house, and the button up in the morning.
If you are in a desert climate, get a swamp cooler (evaporative cooler). This takes a LOT LESS power than a compressor based aircon unit, and in a dry climate will produce VERY COLD air (IIRC in a 20% humidity environment a swamp cooler will take 110 degree air down to 70 degrees F).
OK, but that is not geeky enough - you want something that will get your personal web site slashdotted. OK, how about this: build an old-style ammonia cooling unit and drive it with a solar concentrator. The ammonia cycle system uses heat to pump heat (it is what is used in refridgerators in RVs). However, the payback period will be measured in decades, so do the other things first to really save money.
When I first read the original story, I wasn't very impressed - it seemed to me the Narrator spent the whole story just mooning around about how awful it was that this was happening, how awful it was his girl wasn't there, etc. I chalked it up to a cultural difference - as an American I would have been fighting or at least preparing to fight, so perhaps this was an English thing.
I later read a point that brought the whole story into sharp focus. The book was allegory, and a warning. The invading Martians were attacking England (note that in the story you don't hear about what is happening elsewhere in the world). This is karma served piping hot - the English attacked the primitives of other lands, taking their resources and using advanced technologies to win (rifles and cannons are advanced when all you have is pointed sticks. And banannas.). Then the aliens come, with their advanced technology, treating the Brits as primitives to be exploited. And the Brits are not saved by "Stiff upper lip, good ole college try, pip pip!" They are saved, by accident of fate, by something completely uninterested in saving them.
Now, *IF* Speilberg can stay true to that concept, then updating/relocating the story should not matter - indeed it may make it even MORE powerful to have the aliens attacking the US.
Why is it that people insist upon focusing upon a single facet of their being rather than the entirety?
In the specific case of homosexuality, too many people focus upon the fact that they are gay to the exclusion of all else. Should the person be famous and be on a talkshow, that's the whole of their discussion - their homosexuality.
Now, consider somebody like Elton John. Queer as a three dollar bill, and has made no bones about it for years. Yet, that is only a small part of the man - yes, if he is on a talk show and the subject comes up he may discuss (briefly) his S.O., but then he moves on. He treats his relationship like any polite person should - it is his private life, and he trys to keep it such. I don't want to hear about Elton's bedroom, but then again, I really don't want to hear about Ahnold's bedroom, either.
Which brings me to the subject of "Gay characters in (games|movies|TV)" - in most such cases that is ALL the character is - gay. No other character development, just "Look at Fred. He's gay."
How about having a character who is, among other things, gay? Buffy the Vampire Slayer did pretty well with Willow - the fact she was gay was only a small facet of her character.
So why must the fact that some character in this video game is gay be the main facet of the game, or the character? Why not just have the fact come out (pun intended) during the normal course of the game, and make it just another part of the character?
There are 2 seperate issues here - while they may both stem from trademark they are NOT the same.
The Debian issue is due to the fact that Mozilla.ort does not want people taking the Mozilla icon data and using it other things - for example, they don't want me writing a Bittorrent program and using the Mozilla icon in it.
However, that means that part of the Mozilla source tree is NOT freely reusable - not even in a GPL style context. I can take a chunk of Mozilla *code* and put it in my GPL program, but not the Mozilla *artwork*.
---------------<hr type="poor mans">-----
Now, the second, seperate issue is this issue of folks making Mozilla mugs, hats, jackets, license plates, doggie dishes, and what have you, and selling those. THAT IS NOT A CODE ISSUE!
That is a STRAIGHT trademark issue - if Mozilla.org does not control such issues they will lose the trademark.
Now, first of all I think it's a pretty damn good sign that people feel it is worth making Mozilla branded whatnots - it is a sign we are winning, REJOICE!
However, it IS pretty scummy to cash in on the Mozilla name and not give back. Sure, I'd buy a Mozilla patch for my jacket, but I'd want to know that at least SOME of the money was going back to Mozilla.org!
So chill out, folks. Take a breath, read the letter, engage brain.
As yet his design is only producing a tenth of what he calculates its potential power output could be. Even so, if scaled up, this system would produce 51 kilowatts on the waste from 100,000 people, Logan says.
So, as it is now, it can generate one-half watt per person using it. If it reaches theoretical performance, it would generate 5 watts per person.
Not exactly a lot of power.
Now, perhaps if this were used to process the lagoons near a hog farm or near a cattle feedlot...
They put this opposite Smallville (at least in my area). As a result the target market is presented with the choice of:
Watching Game Over, then watching the last half of Smallville and wondering what is going on.
Watching Game Over, then watching part of The Mullets, then plucking their eyeballs out with a rusty fork.
Watching Smallville.
Since UPN will be following the minor networks' habit of repeating shows a few days later to cover up their lack of content (and saying it is for the "convinience" of the viewer) it would be interesting to see if the second showing has better ratings.
Of course, maybe it isn't a boolean. Sure, it sure SOUNDS like it ought to be a boolean, but maybe it isn't. Of course, were I as smart as you, my ESP would tell me if it was supposed to be a boolean, an int, a string, or something else, but alas, obviously I am not.
Oh, STFW, you say?
Your search - nautilus always_use_browser - did not match any documents. No pages were found containing "always_use_browser".
Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.
- Try fewer keywords.
Also, you can try Google Answers for expert help with your search.
Oh yeah, one more thing - the preference you gave is not in GConf by default, which is why when I went looking to try to find something to tweak I could not find it - I had to know in advance via some supersensory process that this was the key to create, infer the type of the key, and create the appropriate value.

Furthurmore, had you paid any attention to my post, you would have seen that my experience with the new Nautilus had occurred BEFORE THE ARTICLE WAS POSTED. So, all I had to rely upon was what was available with Nautilus itself, which a) made no mention of the new "spatial" metaphor b) made no mention of how to turn it off.
So, not only do you want me to be telepathic, but precognitive as well.
Again, tempting though it may be sometimes to respond with a curt RTFM, it is ALWAYS better to give a polite pointer to the appropriate document.
And none of this changes my opinion that the spatial metaphor is WRONG WRONG WRONG.
For example, what happens when Aunt Tilly drags her "Pictures of the Grandkids" folder's window off screen. She cannot see it to close it or drag it back. She cannot open a new window. Since "The window is the folder" the new position will be recorded for posterity, so that even if Aunt Tilly logs out and logs back in, the window will still open off screen.
And can we extend this metaphor to it's logical conclusion? If I doubleclick on a word processing document, will I be restricted to only one window open on that document at a time? Will the location of that window be written into the document, or into the database of window positions?
If not, why not? If this metaphor is such a great idea, then why do we not extend it everywhere? If it does not work for word processing documents (which are a file containing words), then why does it work for a directory (which is just a file containing files)?
And last but not least, do you hold that it is a good idea to have a user preference like spatial/browser be selected by GConf only, and not by a pref in the normal user interface? If so, have you ever railed against Microsoft for requiring users to use RegEdit to make configuration settings?
Had Nautilus had a "What's new" in the help, with a section on things like the "Computer" icon, the spatial mode, and so on, and links to more information I could have answered my questions before now.
Sorry, but I think the Gnome team dropped the ball on this one. And if pointing that out is a "rant" and is "utterly wrong" then perhaps the differences between the way the KDE guys do things, the way the Gnome guys do things, and the way the Microsoft guys do things is not as great as I thought.
RTFM? What, the help? Let's see. Nope, Nothing in the help about this.
The README? Nope.
The NEWS? Nope. Mentions the change there.
The Changelog? Doesn't seem to be there.
So what do we have? The information provided with the program seems to make no mention of this magical GCONF key.
So, a new user must telepathically locate the information on this to set it, because we all know that creating an entry under the Preferences menu would be impossible, and (as I said before) Would Offend The Gods Of User Interface Design.
And of course, rather than saying "Well, as it says in $file (copy available at $url), you can revert the behavior via GCONF key $key", all folks like you can to is perpetuate the stereotype of "OMFG! RTFM! L@M3R NOOB!"
Again, I *like* many of the basic ideas behind Gnome. I *like* the fact they are trying to establish some user interface guidelines. However, I *don't like* the fact that they seem to be going with several faddish items simply because The Gods Of User Interface Design Have Pronounced Them Good, and don't allow mere mortals to change those behaviors easily because The Gods Of User Interface Design Have Decreed That To Be A Sin Against The Holy Usability.
Ahh, but I *DID* reorganize things. To take the specific example of my MP3 subdirectory, it is organized so that my MP3 player can easily access the files, and so that I have a logical layout of Genre/Artist/Album/songs.
Now, Nauty-less has made that logical layout a pain to use.
Perhaps there is a config buried in GConf (Gnome's answer to RegEdit), but how nice of them to make that the only way to fix this.
I HATE this idea that "the window is the folder". The "folder" is A FREAKING DIRECTORY! To store information like the location of the window on the desktop means either a) storing the metadata as a hidden file in the directory (which won't work if you don't have write permissions to the directory) or b) storing the data about the directory in some database elsewhere, so that you have to access 2 files to show a directory (the directory itself and the database). It means that if you access a directory on a removable medium that metadata won't stay with the media, so for example every floppy disk appears in the same window location on the screen.
It means that if I drill down 5 levels into my MP3 collection, I have 4 UNNEEDED WINDOWS opened on my system.
And the idea of "close the parent" is equally stupid - now instead of 4 repaints of the window, I have 4 unneeded window destroy events and 4 unneeded window create events.
I had updated things on my Fedora machine at home, and had noticed this behavior. I chalked it up to my Nautilus install being broken. Now I know it is not my install that is broken, it is Nautilus itself. And of course, we simply CANNOT allow lowly users to have the option of restoring the old behavior - That Would Offend The Gods Of User Interface Usability.
Not that I was a big fan of Nautilus before - I felt it was bloated. However, since you pretty much cannot run Gnome without it I accepted it. But now I like it even less.
Yes, this is REALLY going to make it easier to bring a NOOB over from Windows.
