At one point I was using both GIMP and PSP on a near-daily basis. Feature-wise they were pretty similar. There are only two things which I want GIMP to steal from PSP. A better Layers dialog with PSP's tree structure and support for groups; and image arithmetic (which is quite specialised and which, to be honest, I could add myself with ScriptFu if I could be bothered to learn it).
So you're saying that Photoshop started out as a cheap rip-off of GIMP because Adobe's attempts to embrace-extend-extinguish GIMP were brought to a halt by a lawsuit from GNU?
1) Enable the uninstall button for globally installed extensions (IE installed for all users) on Administrator accounts (in Windows; root on Linux... assuming Linux has global extensions)
I think the majority opinion about Linux administrators is probably still that you shouldn't run X as root. Have the button there and use kdesudo / whatever the GNOME equivalent is.
As most new users will try out KDE through Kubuntu, and have a bad experience.
I've been using Debian + KDE since about 2004, so I'm not exactly new to Linux or KDE. Bought a new computer last week, and since I spent twice as much as I usually do to get recent hardware I thought I'd switch to Ubuntu, which has a reputation for better driver support. KDE4.3 is driving me nuts.
Starting an application via the KMenu now takes 4 clicks where in KDE3 it took 2. While trying to lay out the task bar as I want it I lost the task manager. In fact, the UI for laying out the task bar is completely insane, and I'm starting to think that manually editing ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc would be easier than using the GUI. I have a system temperature monitoring widget which shows an icon of a CPU and doesn't appear to display a temperature anywhere. The digital clock changed its margins when I turned on displaying seconds, even though the line underneath with the date is wider.
How much of this nonsense is Kubuntu's fault, and how much is KDE's? Right now I'm seriously considering using Kubuntu with KDE3.
I see only two mistakes. I hope your third correction wasn't to put a full stop after Mrs, because it ends in the same letter as the word it abbreviates.
I put them in/etc/hosts as 127.0.0.2 and run a lightweight webserver bound to that address which simply returns 404s for everything. That way it's independent of the browser.
The thing is that very few people have the option of wiping Windows and reinstalling without spending a lot of cash, because most of the software on their computers was installed by the OEM and they don't have install disks. Of course, even with the option many would prefer a quick "clean" to a time-consuming install process, but better customer support in the form of including install disks would help those who have the time and inclination but not the money.
Using a local installation of dnsmasq for your DNS server does, however, allow you to work around NXDOMAIN hijacking, assuming that your ISP uses a consistent IP address for its hijack.
So the "negotiation" consists of the US government writing the document and telling the other governments negotiating to agree? It's probably a complicated derived work with a number of valid copyright claims on it.
It is a bit of a stretch. You use the clutch to change gears or to stop, not every time you brake. It might be less of a stretch to suppose that some half-remembered mention of braking with the gears on a steep hill would float to the surface.
I'm using a stock Debian lenny (stable) install and I don't see any weird boxes. If people choose to buy substandard OSes which don't include proper fonts then they shouldn't complain.
They certainly use something similar in Gmail. Whatever it is is so slow that when someone sends me a link it's quicker to copy the link's address, open a new tab, paste, and press than to ctrl-click and wait for everything to resolve itself.
Too bad Congress doesn't enact an export tariff on prescription drugs, we'd make enough off that to pay for healthcare.
Or the countries which currently import drugs from the US would remove their patent protection for pharmaceuticals and US pharmaceutical companies would lose their current export market.
Not true. If you upload a video with an embedded thumbnail then YouTube lets you choose - so it's not necessary to pick a frame from the actual video at all, if your editing software is good enough.
This being the same MLK Jr who plagarised large portions of his doctoral thesis? I'm not sure he would be in the best position to criticise copyright violation.
Why mutual defence? I'm not sure why the Maastricht treaty added common foreign and security policy to what was previously the European Economic Community.

No. It doesn't do rollbacks.

I don't have much experience on the sounds made by guys in leather suits chained up in basements, but MIE doesn't seem too implausible.
Most adult men are growing a moustache. It's just that a lot of them are foolish enough to fight it.

Fowler's Modern English Usage, p480. Bryson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words (see excerpt). FWIW the first is a British source and the second says that it's a British rule, so if they have Safeways somewhere else I may owe you an apology.

When people learn that not all dark-skinned foreigners are Muslims that would be a step in the right direction too.

I find that a sponge works quite well.
Proof by obviousness isn't accepted by most peer-reviewed journals.

It was certainly 0 for Deb. lenny.

Sure, Q has some cool toys, but I think omnipotent is stretching it a bit. If he were omnipotent then Bond wouldn't be needed.
