Most of the things the users complain about Gnome in that study are already fixed in KDE. I mean, Gnome is attempting to do The Right Thing, not being easy to use. Hell, they did switch the positions of "yes" and "no" buttons, didn't they?
This guy is my hero. It's because of the concept of the electronic spreadsheet (delayed-evaluation functional programming for the masses!) that computers are where they are in business nowadays. Anyone can write applications that used to take cobol'ers in the past.
Spreadsheets have empowered more people to fulfill their vision of computing than any other tool in the industry's history.
I'm actually surprised no one mentioned this yet. Yes, I read all coments so far.
This CERT (whatever it is) is _not_ endorsing the Mozilla family of products, it is recommending against Internet Explorer and other browser-apps (Avant/Neoplanet anyone?) who use IE's rendering engine.
Next thing, headlines will read "CERT endorses Linux apps for web browsing", merely because Mozilla and Firefox happen to run on Linux.
My parents can't move to Linux because they need specialized Windows apps not to be found this side of the divide. Nope, nor Gracenote nor LillyPond make for even decent musical typesetting packages in a professional environment.
Yet they keep messing up their files dragging-and-dropping to wrong places or generally fucking up with the GUI.
So I got them Cygwin and Bash, and taught them to manage their files that way. It works.
Now look them at yo-yos - that's the way you do it you write QT apps for your KDE that ain`t working that's the way you do it software for nothing and bits for free Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb Maybe get a blister on your little finger Maybe get a blister on your thumb
We gotta install kdelibs3 we gotta install that kdepim we gotta write for kdevelop we gotta pack that tar.gz
See that little faggot with the black t-shirt yeah buddy he's really that fat that little faggot got his own custom windec that little faggot he's a programmer
We gotta install kdelibs3 we gotta install that kdepim we gotta write for kdevelop we gotta pack that tar.gz
I should have learned how to gzip and untar I should have learned to write Python Look at that mama, she's stickin the USB camera man we could have some fun and he's up there, what's that? segfault crashes? melting up all core dumps like he was Dali that ain't working, that's the day you do it get your software for nothing and bits for free
Now that ain't working - that's the way you do it you write QT apps for your KDE that ain't working, that's the day you do it software for nothing and bits for free
For a while, I was really annoyed about the select+middle-click paradigm. I tried selected an URL, then would select the text in Konq's location bar, and when I'd middle-click, the clipboard contained the text previously in the location bar.
Later I found out that if you selected an URL, you can simply middle-click in an empty part of a Konqueror window, and the URL will open. Works for searching Google too!
This solution has a serious drawback, though. You'll get used to have two clipboards handy (the middle-mouse one and the ctrl-v one), and will be completely unable to use a Windows machine again!
And most people who bought cell-phones in the last two years have GSM.
I also had an analog, TDMA phone once. The only dead spot I ever found was in the top of a huge mountain (the oh-so-famous Sugar Loaf/Pao de Açucar).
Um, did I mention even the poorest brazilians own cellphones?
It's somewhat amusing how americans have such superior internet connectivity compared to us, but have such issues with mobile telephony. Perhaps there's a market failure to be investigated there.
Guaraná is mostly slow-liberating caffeine. And isn't that the best way?
I live in Brazil, and this stuff (guaraná, and cofee) is cheaper. But really, it's not a good study helper - use it for fun, but not to speed up your brain or anything. Also, remember to listen to faster-than-light drum-n-bass music to enrich the experience.
I'm a Konqueror user myself (have Mozilla und Opera installed, but can't get myself to bother booting'em), too. I just thought I'd take the chance to complain about how Slashdot breaks Konqueror (Konqueror breaks Slashdot?) in User and Journal pages.
It mostly displays everything correctly, yes. Good stuff.
The poll also found that men and women experience tiredness differently. Some 64% of women said they become irritable when tired. Men said they make more mistakes.
But, um, isn't that just the usual gender stereotype (it might have some truth to it, I'm not judging)? Women being more aware of their emotions while men are more performance driven?
Next thing you know, they notice alcohol affects men and women differently: men can't change tires, while women can't find their eyeliner in their purse.
Sure, Google is great and all, but why do they think they can move onto being a moral authority or a standard-setter? This is somewhat "imperialistic", if you know what I mean.
and I'm about to gey myself a new PC for running Linux after having this one for over five years. What is a good high-end-consumer solution that doesn't heat too much? This is Rio de Janeiro, and we ain't got no air conditioning either.
I'm south american. Bolivian-born, lived in Brazil all my life.
I'm not thinking of getting outta here before my MA in economics, which should happen in 2007. How hard should it be to immigrate to Canada for me by then?
"One English teacher could readily tell which of her students essays were conceived on a computer. "They don't link ideas," the teacher said. "They just write one thing, and then they write another one, and they don't seem to see or develop the relationships between them."'
But you can actually structure your essays better when you can first type out ideas and chunks of sentences, and then restructure until they form a coherent, logical progression.
Unless you like to handwrite endless drafts, handwritten work would generally be more confuse.
Now, really, perhaps these are nonlinear times. I have a class with a philosophy professor who keeps on saying that mind is hypertextual, and he`s fascinated with the possibilites of nonlinear argumentation. Not John Negroponte or some hypermedia freak, a 60-years-old Medieval Philosopher scholar whose idea of a fascinating subject is the Summa Teologica.
I gotta say I learned all my english and all my french on the net (it's not that bad, check my post history), and have generally learned to write better and been more exposed to intellectual, structured debate than I'd ever be without it. Moreover, I've had contact with all these scholars from around the world who research subjects that interested me at one point, and learned about many research areas I didn't even know that existed.
Of course, I've also seen a lot of freak pr0n, but we were discussing education, weren't we?

Von Neumann (together with Oskar Morgenstern) is also responsible for beginning Game Theory, and several advances in risk economics that would eventually lead to, hmm, the modern mess of derivative markets.

Yet another woefully inaccurate story title.
Yet another bitchy comment complaining about the slashdot editors.
Yet another self-referential comment mocking its own lack of originality.
Yet another excuse of an, uh, my brain hurts.

Flamebait? Nah, simple statement of fact, kiddo. There isn't even a KDE icon.
Why does slashdot always gives Gnome a privilege? There are never any KDE news. Annoying.

More stories should be posted directly on Slashdot and not as links.
That's certainly what I'm gonna do when I submit my Mandrake 10 review.
If I'm not très wrong, SIM, the Simple Instant Messenger, does this.

Contrast this to Germany where CEOs are engineers.
My ideal CEO is Uli Behringer. I think you might have a point.

Of course, I meant NICHOLAS Negroponte, the MIT hypermedia pundit.
