Even having personally gotten some graphic designers to try the GIMP, I have yet to know any professional designers who find it adequate. I'd like to use Linux, but don't find I can come close replicating an equivalent workflow to what I have available using tools like Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and Sound Forge. (those are the applications I'm personally stuck with, though I'm sure other people have other applications on their personal lists.)

I think Koffice needs quite a way before being on par of MS Office. Personally, I don't use windows since 2003, but then, I'm mainly a programmer, and the apps for other things are more than sufficient for my needs.
How will Ubuntu support the Gtk toolkit development, so as not to become irrelevant as opposed to Qt and Microsoft/apple toolkit's, which all have serious company funding. Certainly in light of MeeGo, and the uncertainty this brings for company paid development of Clutter.
All serious desktop OS competitors clearly steer the GUI toolkit development. Just providing some GTK themes will not suffice.
Actually, we know the mass from the orbit, what is uncertain is the density, as the size has not been determined accurately (a pixel from the distance we see pluto, and certainly the other dwarf planets far away, are a lot of kilometers). After the flyby you know the real size, so you know the density. In other words, the flyby is needed to measure the size.
A flyby is also important to know the real albedo of pluto, as that is uncertain. Size estimates of all far away dwarf planets is based on their mass and albedo, so have a large amount of error (if part of surface is black, we will estimate it much smaller than it really is). In other words, all size estimates of the dwarf planets (except Ceres) have a large error.
Well, I'm not trying to make a rubric for determining what is or isn't a planet; I'm trying to figure out some set of rules whereby we could keep the canonical nine planets.
According to this graph, doing non-satellites by mass puts only Eris ahead of Pluto. Maybe we could just throw Eris in, and cut it off at Pluto.
Ceres was a canonical planet for 50 years, nobody minds it being a dwarf planet now, after having been called an asteroid. The masses are uncertain of all objects that have had no fly by. It is expected that other dwarf planets larger than pluto are out there anyway.
You now how many plasmoids I have on my desktop?
One. A folderview.
I really don't get this issue people have with plasmoids. In windows I don't have gadgets, in KDE I don't have plasmoids. I'm running applications so can't see the desktop anyway.
It's a kernel module. Don't like it, don't load it.
I missed where its a module and not "To Be Included in Linux Kernel" as the title implied. If it's just a module that's fine by me. Just keep it as a module and don't compile it into the kernel. I do see benefit of including the source as official Linux versus the previous third-party status.
Do you even know how linux works and what is meant with the kernel tree? Just type lsmod to see your modules, and do man modprobe to see how modules are loaded and unloaded.
Obviously the distribution must compile the entire kernel, with all modules, detect your requirements, and then load automatically those pieces that are needed for you at startup.
Unless the EULA says no. Then it'll be the same as running Mac OSX on whatever you want. I don't see a problem with running whatever OS I want on any piece of hardware I can get it to run on, but the companies, lawyers, judges, and fanboys disagree.
It is open source, you are per definition allowed to copy the code. You cannot name it Google obviously. Their reference implementation will run on linux, moblin,..., so you will be able to adapt your linux box, and run the things you want, except the Google branded ones.
Note also that you will be able to run it in 'unsafe' development mode, after which you would be able to install KDE/GNOME on top of it if those provide packages for this distribution
Actually, if you try Dolphin, you see that the 'icon' is divided in 4 regions, with the upper left being selection, the rest click.
If you have difficulty aiming, you can increase the sizes of icons with the zoom slider
In the case of a detailed view, the icon is the selection region, and the text of the file the open. Visual feedback makes it clear.
It's a pity Joel doesn't mention the fact many people have problems to double clicked. Just one hour ago I was forced to use a GNOME box, and clicked on an icon, nothing, oh yeah, double click, nothing. Did I miss? Let's do it again. Arrhh, I see no feedback, now again, Oeps, now two instances have started. Hatefull!
Not only that, but does he realize how LARGE that space is? Can you imagine saying to somebody, take your yacht, and sail around the oceans picking up 18000 pieces that go around with vastly different speeds (and orbits)? Now do this in 3D instead.
Moreover, the delta v's involved are probably quite a lot larger than one would expect.
And as you say, the big pieces are tracked and show up on radar, it is the little pieces that hit unexpectedly.
This is idiotic. Did you try KDE lately, you move over an icon, a plus appears. Click over the plus, you select, click normally and it opens. One click to open is the only right way of doing it, anyone claiming otherwise has not tried to use one click open for more than a couple of hours.
It will fix some health issues too, what is not to like?
Katapult is no more, just bind the K menu to the windows key (better do a combination, so eg windows key+Enter to make it simple), then type f, hit enter.
Assuming you need firefox most, f will bring firefox as the first result.
If you don't like the K menu, just bind krunner to the key combo. You could hit ALT+F2 to get it, but that stretches my fingers too much, you can bind windows key+Enter to krunner too however via the system settings. I do think the k menu in KDE 4.4 will be based on the krunner results...
It is a word Linus uses from time to time when he wants to make an insult.
Have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8, I won't watch it again to give you the minutes at which the word is used, but his body language makes it clear this is not the first time he applies it when a certain situation comes up.
The video gives you an idea of the person he is. You like his style of jokes, or you don't. Perhaps it's something Finnish.
I have to know a star is the same as bookmarking?
Where is this 'page menu button'?
Yesterday I tried to help a college with Vista, and wanted to see the hidden files. No menu in explorer! I didn't find for the love of me how to see hidden files...
This is just broken design. One does not expect users to read the manual, or to get a course, before they use a program. Change for the sake of change is really uncalled for.
My guess is Microsoft is jealous on Apple for their top menu bar, and decided to move to a new GUI paradigm where there are no more menu's. That will teach Apple!
Well, sorry, I don't want any of it.
Maple does not solve PDE's. It can solve some simplified things on rectangular grids with FD. MatLab has a toolbox for FEM analysis, but it takes skill to set that up.
Freefem++ (GPL code) however is C++ and solves PDE's by writing the weak formulation. I never saw fortran recently.
Even the famous VODE fortran code to solve ODE's has been rewritten to C++. It's now called sundials (BSD code), and guess what, there is a python implementation, pysundials.

Well, Oracle is working on Btrfs (http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page), which when finished should be comparable to zfs. They can as well just stop working on btrfs and make zfs gpl based:-D
Now, officially, wind speed must be measured on a pole of 10 meter height. In Ontario that would also be < 5 m/s looking at your link. I think that is what the study is talking about.
In case you didn't see the pattern, I'll spell it out: developing countries try to break into the software business because they see 75% profit margins in the developed world.

At least that maps an operator on an iter of a list!

You can play WC in linux with wine. Or at least last year I could. I would expect that hasn't changed. The older versions need dosbox

Because how you win is as important, if not more so, than winning itself
It implies a certain morality which we ourselves define first. It can lead to stupidity if the moral values are (in someone else's eyes) stupid.
It also depends on the price attached to failing, and the publicity of the fight.
