I'm really torn between deciding to get a Mac Mini and an iMac. I'd like the additional power and LCD screen the iMac provides. Problem is that I will still continue to use the Dell I currently own (hey, it was a gift, couldn't exactly say 'no') for various things such as testing web pages in IE, rading something up in VS.Net, a few games etc. With a Mac Mini I could use a KVM to switch between the two systems seemlessly. So my question is there anyway I could hook up an iMac as an external monitor to another computer? Considering I'm using a CRT and was thinking of replacing it anyway this would be ideal.
I thoroughly enjoyed that article and read every page. If you haven't read the article everyone please do. Send it to a friend. Reads like a novel, enlightens like a documentary.
IE 7 comes with tabbed browsing. My g/f or whomever, buy a new lappy with Win XP++ and gets IE 7. "Oh, tabs!!! Great! No need for Firefox now...". I have converted many people to FF on the power of tabs alone but I don't see what will keep these people with Firefox when IE 7 comes. Somehow we've got to get people interested in the "right" reasons or get by with "Trust me."
This could be humour but I reply anyway... it's a hundred percent 'minus' the percentage of passive sentences. And yes, I noticed the sentences made by you were passive.
Sorry, but there is nothing unreasonable in this so-called "nastygram." How is this any different than refusing to train your replacement full-time "temp" at work? You can use our product just don't compete with it,I don't see what is so unfair about it.
Who trusts something that moves so slow? I mean unless it's perfect or have the means to fix it yourself... unless it already does 100% of what you you 100% well.
If I report an annoying bug when will it get fixed? If I request a feature when will I get a response?
While KDE may not be perfect my bugreports get responded too fairly quickly and it's getting better all the time.
Perhaps, there is something that Fluxbox or Openbox (which appears dead..) can use I don't see this benefiting anyone but a few users and thus not really news worthey. Perhaps for embedded kiosk or something...
I am an avid reader. I was thinking what about grabbing the first sentence on a rememberable page number from a specific book. So for my passsphrase I could choose the frist sentence on page 1024 of the lord of the rings 3-in-1. I can probably remember the sentence and I can look it up, but it'd be rather difficult to brute force. For people that carry a holy book around with them anyway choose a *RANDOM* page from it and use that. Then all you have to remember at a worst case is: E-mail LotR 1024;l Linux "The Curse of Madame C" 11; and banking "Oryx and Crake" 69. I have ~200 books in my room.
Definitetly travel. You'll gain perspective on your future. If you rush into a program you're not sure of you'll find yourself dfrained but half-way through and feel the need to finsh anyay. Travel and you'll mature and then you'll learn so much more. But do not take the year off and work. That is a terrible idea. It will numb your brain and you'll become dependent on that extra cash: do something that broadens your horizons not narrows them. Oh, and live in rez first year even if you live in town to begin with. It's a totally different experience and you'll meet many more people that way. This is coming from someone who didn't and regrets it. Oh, last but not least: trying to hold a job while in school empoverishes your education.

If the single button was better, everyone else would have copied it years ago. Especially the grassroots Linux community. but no.
"Everyone else" != Linux users. Linux is made by geeks for geeks. True it can be modded into something that can be passed off as user-friendly operating system but really that's not it's goal. You might be able to simplify Vi but it'll never be designed for Joe & Joanna Average. Basically all Linux use of the multi-button paradigm prove is "Power users perfer complicated interfaces since they often allow them to be more powerful when working with them." Hardly ground breaking.
to plug my sig. Really, I can't fathom how people would choose primes over protiens when protiens may help the fight against cancer amongst others. Please follow the link at least and take a look.
Some people like to learn by example and build grammar on later.... I'm not one of those. I like to have the syntax hammered out before I even learn a single word. (I am currently taking a course in linguistics so I've got a got good base for a base)I know it's not for anyone but thats what works for me. I was wondering if anyone could point out a good resource/series/collection/book etc for people like me. In particular I want to learn Welsh but I have interests in exotic and rare languages in general such as basque, manx, and native american languages.

Hopefully they are non-toxic. Otherwise "Good news: we found life. Bad news: we just killed it". Especially if you are looking for life in difficult landscapes you don't know how endangered something is.
Java is a langauge and say it is prorietary is like saying C or C# are proprietary. I have read the freely available documentation on Java and you'd be surprised how complete it is. There is no need to reverse engineer anything since JavaDoc spells it all out for gou, and heck Sun provide the source code to the files too! It bugs me that people perfer Mono'a C# over Java because it's "more free". Well it's only free because people coded it up. If they spent half the time coding a JVM that they've spent coding a Mono they'd be done years ago. And if Sun keeps their own implementation proprietary, well they own so let them. You can use IBM's or Apple's or your own. Why don't people stop using C since Intel still offers it's own closed source compiler? Java is really spread wide open from letting people participate with JSR (though just like in democracies unless you are with someone big you won't get heard.. but you are free to try), and even poke around with the source. Is there some big piece that I'm missing that would bother anyone besides GPL Zealots?
I think VB is a great tool for teaching people GUI design since it practically takes no programming at all.

KDE 3.4 Released
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
This just really shows that people need to start using KDE 3.4 *NOW*, even an hour a day of when you are just casually browsing the web to find bugs and send. By all means keep 3.3.2 as your main desktop but run 3.4 and help iron it out. If more people wait till 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 before switching then bugs will take even loinger to find. So don't fight it, accept and run both.
By December 2004, most of Perl 6 has been specified as a series of Synopses. Although not considered final, it is now stable enough to be implemented. Many of the Synopses are based on Larry's Apocalypses. Sometimes the design team releases Exegeses, which explain the meaning of Apocalypses. Pugs adheres to the Synopses, referring to Apocalypses or Exegeses when a Synopsis is unclear or imprecise.
