Good old Clive will turn up half way through the domination to sort out the plot with some unfeasibly useful technology. Bit like google sea really or is it - nooo I have lost my mind.
I believe that was a deliberate design decision.
They altered the way the desktop works so its no longer a file dump.
Instead its a place to put plasmoids and nothing more.
Their reasoning is on kde.org somewhere.
I quite like it. The desktop is pointless for me. Yeah I took the time to read up about it.
From the FAQ:
Why on earth did you decide to change the way the desktop operates?
The idea of a Desktop folder is fundamentally a broken concept. It assumes that everything you will access there resides on a single physical directory on your disk. It may be convenient, but at the same time it greatly limits what you can do. For example, you can't use custom layouts for different desktops, as everything would be read from the directory. Also, quite often a desktop structured like that becomes a dumping ground for files and folders, without any other function. That said, you can have icons on the desktop in Plasma. The trouble is I am always dumping files on my desktop and then finding somewhere useful for it to go. If they could just emulate a plasma object which acts this way then that might work.
Still no show desktop button though:)
It impeded everything for me. I dont want to slam the devs, it looks nice and I think it will be the way forward.
BUT - Where is the show desktop - I have to work on windows machines so i want some things to be in similar places so I dont have to think about it.
Saving files to the desktop didnt seem to be the same as windows or 3.5.
Apps crashed on 4.0 and I just needed to do something so I went back to 3.5.
I want it to be good but I fear that it will take time.
I think that would have to be OrangeTide's Law now coz you mentioned it.
Where is my wikipedia log in:)
Be interesting to see if you could get it coined.
Yeah there is a pic on here:

There is always a good discussion on UK houseprices and Northern Rock and its credit abuse is always a hot topic. Lots of bears on there but as somebodys HPC sig says its always 100% correct guaranteed.

Princeton, which has the finest mathematics department in the world [or at least had the finest mathematics department in the world, before Harold Shapiro & Shirley Tilghman decided they wanted to turn the university into their own private cesspool], still charges $33,000 a year for tuition, and another $11,000 a year for room & board [and we're talking a nine month "year"].
I read that as Harold Shipman Dyslexia rules KO:
Harold Frederick "Fred" Shipman (January 14, 1946 - January 13, 2004) was an English general practitioner who was one of the most prolific known serial killers in modern history.

This is where I would like to head. I have just installed 7.04 on my laptop. It is very good apart from the wireless support. I am going to need to frig the wireless drivers for the broadcom 4306 using ndiswrapper.
Then I installed it on my main home pc dual boot with windows and i lost 500gb of data in a freak powercut whilst resizing the partition. I have now got over that trauma.
What guts me though is that I still cant get it to dual boot/run at all.
Obviously I understand partitioning well enough to put it on my laptop but for some reason it wont work on my main pc.
I used rescue cd http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page/ to partition the hard disc to 250gb for windows and 500gb of free space. Then created ext3 70gb for ubuntu and 3gbish for swap and the rest free for a new data disc.
Nothing - no grub nothing but it all looked like it worked.
In summary - its lovely especially with Beryl for flashiness and I want better programming and shell access but it has a few niggles - I couldnt give this to someone who was reasonable with windows.
From a user interface POV my 11yr old daughter didnt care what operating system she was in - she found the games in either - so it is easy to switch between gnome and windows - for 11yr olds:)

You can't let the end user have any power. Just ask the BOFH ;)
Try connecting an atari 2600 to an HDMI port :)
There are still specialists in punched cards to convert the data. Technology does die - almost.

Isnt this how the internet started. On a uni campus in sewers ?

I thought you said take hundreds of cats and consolidate them down to 40.

I was a bit worried for a moment
