it began because of the astounding lack of space in my dorm room, where the monitor was more than the width of the desk. Once I had to start, though, it's my most comfortable typing position.
Hmm. Well, I don't use Konqueror much, but yeah, it's pretty slow. I've never had much problem with the rest of KDE though. At least they don't "fix" the problem Windows-style by keeping konqueror loaded in memory the whole time kde is running!
I don't know when the new Control Center will hit the streets, but apparently it's working pretty well in cvs. I'd give it a few months.
Did you read his link at all? kde-look.org is not a bug team, it's a theme site. The user community that has grown around making kde art is very different from bug days.
8th example: Maximize width-wise or height-wise. Lacking this in other environments is VERY annoying.
9th example: You can make any window always on top. The number of times this annoyed me in windows before i switched are without end.
10th example: (well, extension to a previous one, really) clipboard history: 10 items at a time so you can't lose your data by recopying.
What the hell? Abiword and Evolution and such aren't part of Gnome. They fit into KDE just as much as Gnome. Just because they use the Gtk toolkit doesn't somehow make them part of a Gnome paradigm as opposed to a KDE paradigm -- they're independent applications and have nothing to do with it.
Try compiling your own kde. I think you'll find a great improvement in speed.
There is a brand-new Control Center ui in the works, by the way, as you can see here.
There are screenshots. Based on your post, I think you'll like this new interface much better.
He rejects a theory because it CAN'T be tested experimentally, and has no basis in physical evidence.
Scientific theories are models of the world: until there are results that don't fit with the current model, and there is a model that fits actual results better, you don't change it. This is basic Kuhnian scientific progress.
Until string theory can be tested experimentally, it isn't science.
several billion tons?
So that's a ton a year, managing to land on one planet. Presumably we must be losing a couple hundred times that that don't end up on mars.
Funny, I hadn't noticed everything around me constantly flying up into space (exactly the way a brick doesn't.)
My physics professor certainly thinks string theory is a load of bunk, and as he's the most authoritative figure on physics I know, I'm taking his word for it.;)
So I certainly wouldn't be ponying up the encyclopedia.
I agree that The Last Samurai (Or Pirates of the Caribbean) deserved best picture more than RotK...RotK really wasn't that good, it dragged on too much. (Don't get me wrong, it was a great movie, but not as good as Fellowship.)
Not according to this livecd review...
Between Knoppix, MandrakeMove, and Slax, which were chosen as the most newbie-friendly LiveCDs (and what are live cds for other than convincing newbies?) MandrakeMove was favored by a test group with no linux experience.

If it's not an option, gnome just got a new convert.
Yes; serious gamers sculpt the cruft on their ball mice so that the sudden jerks and resistance always jump right to a head shot!

Ergonomics are where you find them
Taking the hint, Microsoft has announced that Halo 2 for XBox will use a Duck Hunt-style gun controller.
in two months they'll be threatening to sue everyone on the planet the day after.

Too bad there's been an official announcement, then.
