Would there by chance be a vga mode that corresponds with a widescreen resolution like 1280x800 or 1440x900? Widescreen monitors are far more common nowadays, yet sometimes it seems that many people continue to ignore their existence.
What a coincidence! ABC is a Disney network. You know, the same company that hasn't been the same ever since its founder died. The same company that continues to push for eternal copyright so that the first Mickey Mouse cartoon (Steamboat Willy) never falls into the public domain.
Perhaps GNOME has had a bit more new users or just people who don't really care that much about toolkits and perfectly consistent UI guidelines due to distributions like Ubuntu. Besides, KDE applications don't look too out of place in GNOME, but I can't say the same about GNOME applications in KDE.:/
Windows Vista will continue to be bashed as is until Microsoft releases fixes a la Windows XP SP2 that actually stabilise the operating system in most cases, fixes many existing issues and annoyances, improves security (although, Vista is supposedly a lot more secure than XP et al.), and makes it an overall usable operating system. Some people still swear by Windows 2000 to this day, so I don't doubt that there will be people who will swear by Windows XP several years from now anyway.
Gstreamer can use (and usually does) the same FFmpeg library (from the MPlayer project) that xine, MPlayer, and VLC all use extensively. Just look for libavcodec, libavformat, libavutil, libpostproc, or libswscale for examples of FFmpeg or MPlayer finding their way into almost all free software multimedia applications.
Go check out some random Korean or Japanese websites. Those countries are spoilt in comparison to the US, Canada, the UK, etc., when it comes to bandwidth, and it definitely shows in their bloated websites.
The problem is not the look, it's the feel. It is the way the toolbars work, dialog boxes, etc. It is the way all the pieces fit together to provide a user interface. Qt is impressive but it is not native. That's the job of the application designer (or programmer) to follow Apple's UI guidelines when designing an application for Mac OS X. The toolkit can help integrate with other toolkits and provide native widgets, but the designer still needs to consider how applications are supposed to work on each platform.
I'm not twitter, but I do agree with the AC (regardless of whether or not he is twitter, too). Sure, twitter can be a bit trollish when he posts here, but then there are always the gangs of people who come in to feed on the troll or just waste time pointing him out.
What does this article have to do with twitter? Seriously, what the hell is up with the amount of AC's and random users posting shit like this in half of Slashdot's articles?
Decent printer configuration tool? Why settle for that when you can get the best one available that supports all of CUPS' features? Just browse to http://localhost:631/ and configure all your printers from there!
Shit, I modded this redundant by accident. Please forgive me! Meant for insightful.
Anyhow, I agree. Anyone defending Apple for this is probably an Apple apologist or fanboy. Apple have been doing this sort of shit for years now, and people are finally starting to realise this.
Where does it say this on their site? I only see two different versions: the KDE 3.5 version (which is commercially supported just like all previous releases) and the KDE 4.0 version (which is a community-supported version; like a spin-off version). You may have confused this with them charging for Ubuntu/Kubuntu; however, this is how it has always been.
The TSA is a private organisation and is only interested in anything (and I mean anything; *sigh*) that is potentially dangerous on an airplane. Your illegal copies of films aren't dangerous, so they don't give a shit.
Considering the only human or human-like beings on that planet were the Planet Express crew themselves, I say good riddance to that planet. I especially don't want to see any more Nudar-like people.
Well, I bought RAR, but that's also due to the fact that they have a Linux version and Ubuntu has it available in their non-free repository (which just uses my rarreg.key file).
The LGPL is like a car where anyone can make modifications to it or add after-market parts to it, but only has to allow that same right to people it distributes said car to for the original part of the car. The GPL, however, would be a car where any after-market parts added to it would also have to be modifiable and distributable in the same way the entire car itself was.
No, the issue with the ability to bear arms is that if it wasn't enumerated in the US Constitution as such, the ability to bear arms could be made illegal and could only be changed by more legislation repealing said acts. As such, the courts wouldn't be able to knock down the law as unconstitutional, and the executive should have to enforce the law as part of their duty.
At the rate that IPv4 addresses are being used, even if all the/8's given to companies that got on the Internet first were freed for general use, that would only buy us a few months before we ran out of IPv4 addresses again. It'd be better to just move on to IPv6 where it's impossible to run out of addresses.
Here's an easier way to understand it: one doesn't use an operating system by itself. Instead, one uses an operating system to run software on hardware without needing to manage operating system tasks such as scheduling, multitasking, hardware drivers, file systems, IO, etc.
The main thing to remember is that one doesn't use just an operating system but builds a full system based on an operating system. For instance, Linux is an operating system, but GNU+Linux is a fully-working system that allows one to use a computer for all sorts of tasks.

If only a website like that existed... Hmm...

You need to update your working copy of the Web as it is currently under git version control. Use of cvs is so Web 1.0. ;)
I'm sure the furries do...
Hell, tell that to the large ecosystem they have going on in that "game". It sucks people in and gives them a second life to deal with.
What's interesting about Sony and their TV's is that they tend to run Linux. They're a very weird company to say the least.

Not even sendmail or BIND could beat Microsoft? Simply amazing.

If you want a car analogy, here you go:
