Actually, in order to make fun of some people on some other message boards who seem to take days messing with their font sizes and colours in order to make their posts stand out, I put together a little java program which generated random size and colour characters in BBcode for any string you cared to give it.
It was lost in a format not too long ago though, but would (obviously) be pretty trivial to re-implement.
No, thats pretty much exactly what the article says. You Mac people seem to think everything said which even references a Mac is somehow aimed at being derogatory.
There is a lot of friction between Apple, and Apple because of Apple joining the "music business", something which Apple didn't like because the felt people might confuse Apple and Apple! What kind of fool could do that?!
I think the real beauty of Expose above Virtual desktops is that your average joe user (who admittedly probably won't be using metacity at any point particularly soon, at home anway) doesn't have to think about arranging his desktops, doesn't have to think about keeping common tasks together, and Yes, of course this would be useful to him, and maybe in time he will learn that. But in the meanwhile, you tell him "Press f8 and then you can see all your windows, just click on the one you want to use" and he's away. No thinking "Did I put my browser on desktop 1, or is that my email/IM desktop?"
So the reason "Linux is losing the desktop race" is because the very people who are currently trying to improve the linux desktop experience aren't making cool stuff for windows instead?
No-one as yet has mentioned that it is GPLed code! Hmmm, on closer inspection it appears to be copyrighted... Anyone care to explain to me how that works?

Thats exactly what I expected to see when I saw this announcment, found it, and was just making sure no-one else has pointed it out before I posted it...
Ah well! I suppose that means that maybe StarOffice can get it perfect...
Apart from the logistics of applying these charges to the spimmers (awful world) Consider what would appen if you annoyed someone accidently on IM. BAM a 25 cent charge, then suddenly you get hit with loads more as they get there friends to "bonk" you.
2 Comments of the 3 were Intimating that the new console was the IQue. Not reading the article is something I have grown to expect, but not reading the blurb either?
Will be pretty sweet when you can hack this, and send signals of your band performing live to the big media mogul who just happens to be travelling through town... of course you may need to bounce it off a few satellites on the way... it all seems too easy!

Because it interacts weakly perhaps?
Hmmm, quite a late reply and all but its worth sharing... My girlfriends surname is "Root" you can see where this is going...

Mod parent down for not reading the books.

Sweet! Debian Troll's Best is back in full force... just when I had started to miss you :D
What works for you doesn't necessarily work for someone else. All I know is that every Panther user seems to rave about how good expose is.

Ah! ta for clearing that up for me :)
I like it

Watching TV, couldn't possibly try getting a life at all.
Thank god I wasn't the only one who thought that... I'm not the only 'tard!
Technically speaking, from our perspective, we beat ourselves.

Ok, Mr. Apreche... or should that be Townshend?
You have to come with us now, we have a few questions we need to ask you
Hey, guess what, before the first movie is almost the same as after the 3rd...
The real point is to look at the post I am replying to. The root post was my grandparent.
Who on earth modded this interesting... I swear, you people!
