  1. Re:a feature... on Rethinking the Thinkpad · · Score: 1

    I'm personally not a big fan of the trackpoint but if you're looking for an ultra portable that has one you might want to give the Dell D420 a look.

  2. Try it first ! on Skin Sensing Table Saw · · Score: 1

    I want to see that guy try his own invention first. And no the hot dog is not convincing enough.

  3. Re:Right/Practical on OpenSPARC and Power.org, Who has it Right? · · Score: 1

    Having seen a couple things here and there about CPU design, I can tell you that transforming a 9 layer design into a 7 layer is far from trivial, so I guess you can forget about this.

  4. Re:Good Riddance To Yet More Bad Rubbish on Utah Votes 'No' to Darwin's Critics · · Score: 1

    Because it is the very essence of the theory. The (extreme btw) genetic and phylogenetic proximity between man and ape means that they both derive from a common species. Now that common specie might be nearly a man or nearly an ape, or neither of those. We don't know. The theory is : we have a common ancestor, end of story. This might even mean that ape evolved from man (although it is highly improbable for genetic complexity reasons).
    Whether it is easier to believe or not doesn't matter : it is evolution as a theory. If you want to talk about it, be it to deride it or support it, at least get it right.

  5. Re:Good Riddance To Yet More Bad Rubbish on Utah Votes 'No' to Darwin's Critics · · Score: 3, Informative

    Once again some people are deforming the Evolution theory to make their point.
    The theory doesn't say man evolved from the ape but that man and ape once had a _common ancestor_. But I guess we can't expect everybody to be well-informed, even those who hold the power to decide...

    *sigh*

  6. Re:Nope, you fail too on Yahoo! Bans "Allah" in Screen Names · · Score: 1

    That and the fact that there were not only a few nuts at muslim protest but large crowds. The torching of the various european embassies was not done by a small team of nuts but by large crowds chanting various violent things. Had you polled America back in the clinic bombings time, I doubt you'd have found much support for them, even from fundamentalist christians. This is completely opposed to today's situation with muslims.
    There is no way you can compare violence from christian fundamentalists in recent history to that of fundamentalist muslims.

  7. Re:Nice on FreeBSD Project Launches New Website · · Score: 1

    Well you have this Text Size : Normal/Large in the top right corner as soon as you go further than the home page so it's not much of an issue really imho.

  8. Re:KDE Fork ... on KDE's future: Plasma & SimpleKDE · · Score: 1

    It looks like it is mostly integration to their distro (turkix) with a few extra.. er sorry minus a few features.
    Commenting out code ain't that hard, but they certainly had better join the plasma effort to make their voice heard rather than doing this imho...

  9. Re:Mirrors on KDE's future: Plasma & SimpleKDE · · Score: 1

    Yes it's important to point out that nothing of this exists in software currently, it's only mockups and ideas being debated for inclusion.

  10. Re:Acid2 on Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too · · Score: 1

    No release, but you can always check out Konqueror's svn. Now go try to do the same for Safari or IE... That's not just a screen shot.

  11. Already slashdotted... on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...poor forum server is screaming...
    Consistency across platforms or within platforms is quite a non-issue to us KDE users : the Plastik and Keramik themes for Mozilla and Firefox are beautifully integrated in the KDE desktop, so whatever the default themes becomes, we'll still be happy.
    As long as skinning is avaible, everybody should be happy.

  12. Re:should have done this on Free iTunes Over a Browser · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And because their Windows/MacOS ITMS covers 95 % of their clients and they don't give a f*** about the rest (hey, long haired hippies don't buy music anyway, they don't even buy their OS, doh...)

  13. Well... on Free iTunes Over a Browser · · Score: 4, Informative

    you can use vlc instead of quicktime if you use an OSS system. Now the ITMS itself is going to be slashdotted, whoops...

  14. Re:Linkage on New Nano-ITX Boards Shown At Cebit · · Score: 1

    and most probably fourth as expensive (for price varies as the square of the surface, as far as chips are concerned).

  15. IN SOVIET RUSSIA on NYC Crosswalk Buttons are Inoperative · · Score: -1, Redundant

    IN SOVIET RUSSIA, the button deactivates you !

    Sorry, had to do it...

  16. Re:configure before you download? on Toward a New Kind of Linux Distribution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That site had better have a monster cpu power and bandwith avaible... It would be slashdotted in a matter of milisecond...

  17. Sounds rather cool to me. on Toward a New Kind of Linux Distribution · · Score: 3, Interesting

    He says a basical iso is avaible and "More components and a component-aware, Anaconda-based installation mechanism will be added in the coming weeks".

    Heh, compiling everything for oneself through an intuitive gui sounds pretty cool to me !
    Gentoo now accessible to the unwashed masses (which I'm part of), Yay !

  18. related material on Astronauts Attach Mannequin to Outside of ISS · · Score: 3, Informative

    Now that high definiton microcams exist, I wish the astronauts would broadcast a little more...
