    Ik lijk het huis. I like the house. It's almost readable even if you don't know it.

    Except the former means "I resemble the house". Your English sentence would translate to something like "Ik vind het huis leuk|mooi".

    Except that I am out drinking, having fun, and getting laid. I'm also making a nice chunk of change while I do it. :)

    You're getting a nice chunk of change while getting laid? That explains your post somewhat.

    Yes, way too subtle. The thing is, fanboys actually do speak like that, so you were easily mistaken for one.

    So stop building like that! It's no longer viable and the US is collapsing under that weight. You seem tom think that the sprawl is a given, but it's a choice.

    Nope, it had graphics as well. At least KDE has had that for ages, and I'm sure Gnome is no different.

  11. Re:that's odd on Java Performance On Ubuntu Vs. Windows Vista · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I remember Java benchmarks where I would run the program and get speeds 1.3x slower than C and other people would run it and get 4x slower than C.

    It's all dependent on rerouting power to the impulse engines.

  12. Re:excel as a flag on Advanced Excel for Scientific Data Analysis · · Score: 1

    Excel can give names to cells or groups of cells. These remain constant even when cut & pasted. Not when copied, pasted & the old deleted, because the original keeps the name.

    Names ranges aren't often used, but make maintenance of complicated spreadsheets much easier.

    I have a PhD in neuroscience. I used Excel. I used SPSS. I used R/S-Plus. I even used the annoying specialized stats apps. They all have their place.

    The only difference between the two is that the second ends in ".ml" which would normally go to the main account, but since I registered the second one, it goes to that completely separate account.

    I don't get it. Why would username.ml@gmail.com go to username@gmail.com?

  15. Re:Just permute a valid solution! on Solving Sudoku With dpkg · · Score: 1

    This is only half the problem. You also need to know which numbers can be deleted to create the actual puzzle. Not all numbers can be deleted while keeping it solvable. It's of course quite possible to have a difficult and an easy sudoku based on the same solution.

  19. Re:ignorance on Computer Beats Pro At US Go Congress · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Go is often seen as the last bastion of human superiority over computers in the domain of board games.

    That's just plain ignorance. Games usually employ a discrete set of rules and a discrete playing environment. If there is something a computer is good at it would be working with things like this.

    You're right, and that's exactly what the text says. In the domain of games, computers do failry well, except for Go. Go's the last bastion of human superiority in that domain.

    They didn't want to convert the world to extreme forms of Islam, bring down allegedly-freemason-run western capitalism (well, they tended to be left-wing, but not completely crazy), or any of that nonsense.

    How come you think this is what Islamic fundamentalists want? Is that what your TV told you? I don't speak Arabic, so it's difficult to be really sure what they want, but more objective news sources suggest that Osama bin Laden wants to tear down Middle-Eastern dictators. Because Americans fund the dictators, he's picked a fight with Americans. Knowing that, it's easier to see why they choose the strategies they choose. Why take down the WTC if you want people to convert to your religion? Why release video-messages in Arabic rather than English if you want the whole world to listen? Islamic fundamentalists, while of course quite evil, don't want anything to do with the Western world.

  21. Re:then dont release it as "KDE"4.0... on What To Expect In KDE 4.1 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If its not a stable usable release which is a functional upgrade from your prior version then DONT put it in STABLE REPO's, dont release it out as a 'finished' product.

    You seem to think the folks of the KDE project put it in your distro's repository. They didn't. What to package is a distro's choice. Fedora and Kubuntu both packaged a sucky KDE4 (Kubuntu is better now, since the RC1), Suse did very well.

    Really, complain to your distro's packagers. Especially if it isn't possible to combine KDE3 and KDE4.

  22. Most of the comments are about 4.0 on What To Expect In KDE 4.1 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Too bad we don't have a good discussion about 4.1. Most of the criticism I read is about 4.0 or the way it was marketed. When 4.1RC1 was available I finally uninstalled 3.5.9. KDE4.1 is really great (except for the nvidia thing, obviously).

    I love the plasmoids. It's another dimension of configurability, which is why we loved KDE in the first place. I don't get the ZUI, and it's completely useless to me. KDE4.1 is incredibly stable for me. The looks and responsiveness rival OSX on my system (which is a quad-core with 3GB). Except I decide what colors I want to use.

    If their goal is to write a controversial article that will show up on front page of slashdot and drive gazillion of clicks to their site then they are very very smart

    If that's their goal, then they don't know Slashdot very well. No-one is going to click the link!
