    How is CTRL-ALT-PRT SC different from just pressing PrintScreen?

    This is ridiculous. A better argument concerning IE would be that it is an integral part of the update system, the help system, the user interface, etc. It is possible to cut WMP off the windows, but I bet it wouldn't be possible at all to cut off IE. They did it with their own hand.

    I wish the Soviets would keem their stronghold in the Middle East. Maybe then the US would be affraid to spend bilions of $ and start investing in researching cheaper energy.

    Nope, there's a reason why photoshop is the king of 2d compositing apps. I have a lot of "unresolved issues" with it, I wish it would evolve faster, but really, it offers the biggest set of features of all 2d compositing apps.

    Thank god that there still are people like you who think psp is enogh for their needs. It's called "competitive advantage", knowing how to fully understand and work with Photoshop. Even if you only talk about the low-level optimizations that the Adobe team does for some operations (for example, it has MMX optimizations since version 4) - this makes Photoshop one of the fastest editors. What about layer styles (no-one else have those), layer sets, a powerfull brush engine, tons of freely available training oportunities on the net and so many other advantages that photoshop has?

    Sun took a BSD and made it Solaris. Apple took a BSD and made it MacOS X. Nobody have seen the code to these improvements. Now compare that to RedHat's or IBM's or SUSE's (and other businesses) contributions to the Linux kernel.

  12. Re:Self interest (What is the Cost?) on A Day with an ISP Spam Investigator · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most viruses go over 40 kb and can go to about 200 kb (that's what I get). Most annoying are the mailer daemon failures that i get for viruses that i did not (or anybody else from my domain) send.

    Fedora usualy autodetects and installs printers (my experience is with a have a paralel port xerox laser printer from 2000). Some does Mandrake. In slackware, there are several utilities which can help you in setting it.

  16. Re:Memory usage? on GNOME 2.8 Released · · Score: 1

    Did you look at the source? How do you know, jus tby looking at the API documentation, that something has been implemented in assembly? From what I've heard, very few things are in windows, the rest is just C.

    Run your xp for a year and you'll see how well it behaves after that.

  18. Re:cool on GNOME 2.8 Released · · Score: 1

    You're still using Gnome/KDE. They're much more than a window manager, which you just replaced. When you're using konqueror or konsole, the open file dialog in quanta, kmail or evolution, gaim or kopete, k3b or gthumb, gimp or koffice you're using still using gnome/kde. So, unless you tell me that you're not using either of this applications that are part of the Linux desktop experience, you haven't moved that far. You've just replaced your window manager.

    I wouldn't want wikipedia to be so "out in the open". Think about all the effort it would require to correct the damages done by the crowds of vandals that normal web trafic generates.

    It is incredible how high the ration between the number of complaints about the new color schemes and how much the slashdot editors care about this...

    I bet they will invent something like "protect your eyes, subscribe today, new improved color schemes for subscribers only".

    To tell the truth, I was using the other days an old computer, 800x600 at 60Hz and the it color scheme made more sense. Perhaps this is what CmdrTaco is using...
