Here's the thing though: the earning power of some people is incredible. It might maximize the ol' time/money tradeoff for the project the OP wants to donate to work a job and donate the money, rather than work on the project.
If you work on the project for leisure, that's one thing. If you want to be an a(e?)ffective supporter, you should really figure out how to maximize what you can give. </engineer>

Photoshop is not easy to use. GIMP is not easy to use. If you're just trying to draw circles/squares, you should use a different editor: one that's simpler. KDE has kolourpaint, or there's tuxpaint.
I have kde4 and kde 3.5.9 installed in parallel. It's doubtful that at this point you'd be able to do what you have there. It might be possible, but it certainly won't be the painless 10 minute process it was in 3.5.
The reason for most of this is that whatever the kde4 name is for 3.5's "panel" has a pretty limited featureset right now. Supposedly the panel is much improved in 4.1 (that's the word on the street anyways), so when it stabilizes and is released you might check back then.
If anyone from the KDE project reads this: I'm not knocking you! 3.5 kicks a whole lot of ass, so I'm happy to wait until 4 matures.
I've heard this argument before, and I understand it. Right now, though, I don't know of a good (large or small scale) alternative to both my ISP and Open DNS.
In problems like minimizing lateness et. al. "better" can be simply defined as "closer to optimal" or "fewer time units late."
Here, better means different things to different people. The more data you have gives you a larger set of people, and probably a more accurate definition of better for a larger set of people. I'm not sure you can really compare the two.
Data centers in cold locations seems like a good idea in principle, except it's really not workable in practice for one reason only: it's too damn cold in the winter.
I go to school in the Midwest, and on the coldest day of the year (-20 F or so) it's one of the warmest days in the high performance computing lab. We get our cool water from across campus (less than half a mile), and on those cold days they keep the water in the pipes warmer than they would in the summer, to prevent them from freezing.
In fact, our coolest days are in the summer, when it's 90+ F outside.
You're crazy. As a geek and engineer, I'm going to attempt to communicate to you with logic;)
The earth's magnetic field is on the order of 10uT, which dwarfs anything we might see from other bodies 90% of the time. I'm not sure what the definition of "strong magnetic field" is in the papers you read, but I'm quite sure that 10uT isn't it. Unless everyone has sex next to a permanent magnet, astrology is bullshit.
Maybe I'm a cynic, but I just don't see why everyone thinks that Bill Gates is a Good Person. While I agree that the Gates Foundation (or whatever it's real name is) is a Good Thing, I'm not sure that it exists for the right reason (not that this matters, particularly).
Bill Gates just wants his name to be immortal, because he solved any one of a million world hunger/malaria/etc. problems in the world, and the Gates Foundation is his way of doing that. We'll all love him and put his name on a pedestal, which is exactly what he wants. The Gates Foundation is a calculated move, just like every other he's made. The only difference is, this calculated move has the side effect of being good for the world population.
Taking my own advice, I just looked and my desired domain is listed as owned by "Moniker Privacy Services". Upon a visit to moniker.com, I see that I can place a minimum bid of $1000 for the domain. This is (obviously) out of the question, since it's been parked for the last year or so.
I suppose I could just wait for it to expire (2008) and have someone register it for me.
What's the best way to get a domain from a parker? I've got a particularly unique first name, and I'd like to buy myfirstname.com, which is obviously parked.
Should I just look up the admin in the whois and send him an e-mail? I wouldn't be opposed to spending $50-100 on this domain, I just want to know how to contact.
No, but power and communication lines are often buried in the upper Midwest due to the incredible ice storms we get. Those that aren't have many extra poles/unit length to hold them up for exactly this reason. His phone/cable lines are probably live, but the power lines aren't.
I don't think you really understood his point. A manufactured CPU is limited only to the instructions that the manufacturer provides. The framework is limited to the operations that the framework provides. His point was that in some cases (not all) that's enough.

I can't get my hand in them to get the chips out of the bottom.
FYI: kchmviewer does the same thing with .chm files in 3.5.9. I used it a lot this year and it's a great app (tabbed browsing, etc.)

I'm not sure what kind of crack you're smoking, but Barack Obama voted to renew the PATRIOT act.

Isn't this discussion purely academic?

Any suggestions?

It depends on the architecture.
Classy!

You don't have to know what code does to be able to delete it.
Bullshit. Your boss mandates a break. If your boss mandated a Slashdot break, your company would go under and you'd never get anything done.

As of this post, the GP hasn't been modded anything. Looks like you're the phallus!
For some people it's more economical to buy a new computer than to spend time fixing the old one.
This is a civil case. Circumstantial evidence like yours wouldn't pass a "reasonable doubt" anyways.
Why?
