btw. you can set your default shell to screen. It will throw you into the configured shell when you start it, and is tty-aware when it gets run out of a terminal..
kinda helps in the.. "I just started a 3 hour job on this remote host.. I'll just... " ctrl-d, ctrl-d, ctrl-d... "OH CRAP, forgot to start screen:(" situation.
There are escape codes for changing the title of the terminal window (or tab, in konsole). Which kind of helps when the left hand side of the window is obscured.
Even so.. you can't MISS the background. If you forget to glance left, you just rm -rf'd the wrong server. Even worse, if you're logged in to KFFHHJJKF0001 when you meant to type into KFFYHJJKF0001, then apart from killing whoever made your DNS naming scheme, you could really use those images. Then again, I just make them randomly change the font/background colour, not load an image.
actually, having the terminal open with a random subtly different background colour kind helps when you're a sysadmin with about 30 windows open and you can't remember which one you're typing in to. If you use several terminals at once, try it for a few hours. Mental association and all that. Ah yes, I was upgrading the kernel in the PINK window.
OK.. here's my main gripe with KDE since version 1.0. konsole STILL has no option to select semi-condensed fonts. I'm not an anti-antialias nazi. I use AA fonts everywhere else, but that 6x13 semicondensed xterm font is still the best thing for writing in a terminal. With every release I would've thought that this still-open 10 year old bug would've been fixed by now.
sorry, you distracted me from getting actual work done there. Have you tried turning off the "graphical bloat"? and by that I mean the 3D effects, which is more down to your gfx card. KDE4 is -less- bloated than KDE3 even with the effects turned on. Try running top...
he also prints t-shirts with his face on it, gives regular (almost endless) interviews for Putin-backed RT, and talks a lot more about himself than any of the people uncovering things. It's possible to believe that gubbament should not do evil without being an irritating dick. I'm still waiting for him to start his own fashion label and market it with a pop single.
I'm still trying to find the option for "please don't lock my property". Until I find an easy way to stop a 3rd party interfering with my device, I call it difficult to use.
Wait.. people WATCH BBC1? I've heard they have shows like "eastenders" and "strictly come dancing" on there. If they'd put it on BBC1 I would've missed it.
A more serious response: i've done some stand-up. I've been to a couple of "gong nights" in London. The rules are you have to last 5 minutes on stage without someone hitting the gong because the audience are getting tired. It's like a training course for standups, because rather than getting thrown out for heckling too much, the audience are actively encouraged to be cunts. On the 5 occasions I've done it, I got gonged the first time for forgetting my lines, on the 3rd time I got gonged without the audience complaining for being disgusting (some joke about giving a cesarean to a twelve year old) and on one occasion, after preparing about 15 minutes worth of material, I didn't use any of it other than the opening line ("J.D. Wetherspoons [a chain of pubs in the UK]: why not just cut out the middle-man and serve beer in the job centre?") because some comment about me being a 5'6" ginger cunt turned into open war with a member of the audience.. who was on 20 minutes later, so the flame war continued the moment he hit the steps on the way up to the stage!
Here's a good tip: strip down naked, lather yourself up in goose fat, then jump arse-first into the nearest large bin so you can fellate yourself. Won't help you with the TSA, but I'm always happy to share good ideas.
It wasn't even close. 1 noise and 3 tone generators. The SID was fully programmable and had filters and all sorts of goodness, while the BBC just beeped.
and unless kde4 comes out with some killer feature, I see no reason to switch
It uses less RAM.. no, really... It's always frustrating when people look at the 3D effects and assume that = bloat. I'm currently in the process of trying to finish a 64k demo for TUM party. It's fully openGL, and that part of the code is about 6k. Plus you get to offload all the graphics into the GPU and free up some RAM for other stuff.
Obviously, if you don't HAVE a GPU, or you have some ancient intel series 3 gfx controller, then that's all bunk.
Sort of. It and "Lowland Scots" evolved alongside eachother with the same root. They diverged over a couple of centuries, but they are still very similar, and it's quite comprehensible to a native English speaker.
you obviously haven't read his book. The chapter "are the eastern religions any better?" should provide all you need to know about corruption in Bhuddism (if you give all your money away.... who GETS it?, and where did all this gold come from?)

it works in telepathy, so I'm assuming that kopete now supports it.

all he needs to do now is the children's books, fashion shoots and a fucking pop single, and his mission to be 100% full of himself will be complete.

no, any lubricant will do. olive oil, butter, WD40, the blood of a child, horse semen (obtaining it is another story involving a kettle), cow pats...

Incidentally, if you do want your BBC to sound as good as a C64, you could always get it on a board:

I guess the I/O did win.

But, being slashdot, not as nail clippers, right? :-)
