  1. Re:There go the distros again.. on Fedora's OpenGL Composite Desktop · · Score: 1

    I am currently on FC4, and I know of no "Fedora Control Center", unless you are refering to system-config-*

    What about Corel office?

  3. Re:Misleading headline on Ten Reasons to Buy Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    Ok, so I didn't just imagine that. Good to know someone else noticed this.

    Here's hoping the come looking for you. I sure you will have proof that they are mistaken.

  5. Re:The problem is... on Keeping the OS/2 Flame Alive · · Score: 1

    I am assuming that you can't get Linux to stay up becuase you have to reboot for kernel upgrades, right?

    What kind of sex stuff are you into man? How is the world gimp related to sex at all?

  7. Re:Of all the claims... on Prostitutes Call for a Ban on GTA · · Score: 1

    I understand where you are coming from. But you do realise that prostitution is illegal in mos of the USA, right? I admittedly do not understand why it is still illegal given the other things that are legal today, but the fact remains that it is illegal.

  8. Re:Wait, isn't prostitution illegal? on Prostitutes Call for a Ban on GTA · · Score: 1

    That's what I thought too. I was beginning to wonder. So how can a group of people who engage in illegal activities, conciously, for a living, be "unionized" in any way, shape or form? My heart goes out to any of those individuals who meet real abuse in their lives, but as a group, I don't see their point.

  9. Re:Prostitutes? on Prostitutes Call for a Ban on GTA · · Score: 0

    As much as prostitues argueably provide a service needed by society, I see no reason why focus shouldn't be given to the worse case scenarios. If a person finds themselves in that lifestyle, I would hope it is as a matter of need or personal choice (ie. what they always wanted to be) and not because they think it is a glamarous lifestyle. Some of this women, I am sure, are quite intelligent, and could probably be of more benifit to society doing other things. Disclaimer: I am against prostitution, but recognize how ancient its roots begin. I also again uncessary, real violence.

  10. Re:Everyone readds the TOS, don't they? on Privacy Concerns On Google's 30 Day Data Policy · · Score: 1

    I totally aggree. If google was distributing this "feature" via malaware practices, I would understand the concern,but unless I missed something, users have to seek out this program.

    What is your definition of a private ftp server? And how does google access it?

    So the money girls pay for games is of less value than yours?

  13. Re:Who's being repressive? on US Lawmakers to Keep Google Out of China? · · Score: 1

    Regardless of validity of your comment, I suggest you do this: step back awhile and take a look at your comment and realise that sentiments like this, regardless of their good intent is why many countries, or rather many citizens of other countries do not like America as a whole.

  14. Re:KDE is nice but unusable. on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    I am going to have to pass that as a wierd occurence, since 1024 x 768 is the only res I use (use properly at least). And I have been using KDE full time, as my desktop machine since FC2 (I think). I would appreciate if you could possible record some more metrics next time you are not busy, maybe file a bug report, get this sorted out, on the Fedora side at least.

  15. Re:Screenshots from article on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Fair enough. But I suspect this is more a result of opportunistic theme builders who happen to like Vista, make use of the dev dollars already spent by MS to design UIs. I'm not sure if there is anything wrong with that itself. Frankly, it can look like Visa, as long as I have virtual desktops, kio_slaves, and no Explorer, etc.

  16. Re:KDE too windowsoid on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Kde could look like WinXP and I would still like it once it had kio_slaves.

  17. Re:KDE is nice but unusable. on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Maybe the distro you are using isn't properly packaging KDE.

  18. Re:Huh? All those shots remind me of..... on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Unless I missed the latest screen shots of Gnome. This looks nothing like gnome, for better or worse.

  19. Re:i hope they get to sound on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    I hope they ignore you.

  20. Re:That's all well and good... on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Just to add my 2 cents. I started using KDE fulltime becuase of home slow gnome ran for me at the time.

  21. Re:Screenshots from article on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Could you explain your reasoning for your anti-kde comment? I am honestly curious.

  22. Re:Knowing vs. believing on Christian Churches Celebrate Darwin's Birthday · · Score: 1

    My view on this is simple. I believe in an all powerful God. I see no reason why God coudln't use such an elegant design as evolution to create all life. The same goes for many mircales. When he made everything, he knew what he wanted it to do from then to eternity. Peace

    Nope, then it would be too late to worry.
