  1. Re:Reasoning? on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 1

    Video games?
    This is a subnotebook we're talking about.
    I don't think gaming would be as significant a factor as you might think.

  2. Re:I prefer Gnome on Is KDE 4.0 the Holy Grail of Desktops? · · Score: 1

    You just need to fiddle and tinker with the customisation options.
    They aren't hidden all that deeply.
    kpersonalizer is a wizard that will help you turn off all the eyecandy with a single eyecandy-level slider.
    open up a konqueror window, and go "settings:/LookNFeel/" there's a bunch of thingies there, where you can change the icons, and the styles, colour themes, window decorations, etc to make them less kiddie-like.

    as for using one folder for file management, I don't think it's ever opened up new windows for me. But, Settings -> Configure Konqueror, and the first option you should see is "Open folders in separate windows" make sure it's unchecked.

  3. resolution 10 times greater than hubble on World's Largest Telescope Begins Production · · Score: 1

    stands to operate at a resolution 10 times larger than the Hubble
    But since it is earth-based won't the images be blurred by the atmosphere?

  4. what i've never understood on Can Sci-Fi Fans Face the Future? · · Score: 1

    is how exactly, they (the raters) determine what the ratings are? if the show is being broadcasted, how do they determine how many are watching it?

  5. Re:"Hardware accelerated PDF viewers'' ? on Next-Gen X Window Rendering For Linux · · Score: 2, Funny
    You don't expect something to happen when you press the Control key alone, right ?

    actually, i expect it to fire my rocket launcher...

  6. Re:Screw em on MPAA Developing Digital Fingerprinting Technology · · Score: 1

    The problem is, they aren't going out of business any time soon. Even if 20 million people never purchase music or viedoes, never go to the cinema ever again, it will barely scratch them. If 50 million people stop buying, the **AA will just think that they are illegally swapping music online, and take more dramatic (read: insane, stupid, invasive) measures to stop the internet being usable. its only if nearly everyone stops buying music that they are going out of business, and i just don't see that happening.

  7. Re:photographic memory on BBC on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

    It is a well known phenomenon. when you are a kid, you see something, (eg. a rock) and, in your child-like innocence think WOW! its the best thing i've ever seen! then, when you grow older and morce cynical, you look at that same rock you looked at years ago, and think WTF? its just a #(@!NG rock! whats so special about it?

  8. Re:safest place on earth? on BBC on Global Dimming · · Score: 1

    The safest place on earth would have to be where i am living now. Australia. just watch any disaster movie ever made. australia never gets hit. just make sure you live in the hills, being well above sea level is good, incase the global ocean level rises a few hundred metres.
