The only drama came from 'mysterious' debris floating alongside the shuttle; this turned out to likely be trash from the cargo bay accidentally released into space.
Of course they'll say that.
And all the other UFOs were, of course, flocks of geese and meteorological balloons and whatnot.
The government is just trying to hush it up.
Remarkable success, really... governments don't usually succeed in anything else but hushing up UFOs.
I'd love to see an office suite designed like Firefox, with simple core functionality (the 10% of capabilities which 90% of people use or so) and extensions/modules (preferably unloadable/reloadable) which would add certain capabilities to those who need them.
I don't think OpenOffice.org will get a complete rewrite, and I haven't neither the time nor the knowledge to start something new myself.
A shame, really.
But take a look at the pic... both the Before and the After... now, why, oh why the two buttons?
Call them join and Rename, call them Network ID and Change, however you put it, you'd get a cleaner interface with just one button.
maybe it would help if in firefox's initial setup wizard, it prompted where you want downloads to go to - somewhere like My Documents\Downloads for Windows, and somewhere like/home/username/downloads/ for Linux with the option to change directories...
It is possible to change the default download directory rather easily... and there are extensions which help you filter and sort downloads so you can send.mp3 to ~/music,.mpg to ~/video and.doc to ~/trash.
AFAIK downloading everything to desktop by default is a feature, not a bug: most users download something, then get confused as to where the bloody thing went. This way, they only have to search their desktop.
Therefore, no initial setup is required... do it after installing; you know where to find it, and you don't confuse the (l)users with complexities.
There's still the issue of a desktop cluttered with icons.
I rather liked a gDesklets applet with a circular launch bar... you could create sets of launchers by theme or whatever and switch between them.
Everything neatly organised, and the desktop remains completely free of clutter.
A single, unified desktop environment would be great for making Linux more accessible to new users. Which is all fine and dandy, but given all the conflicting UI philosophies people adopt, merging would only lead to everyone but the newbies rather dissatisfied.
All in all, I used to be an avid Gnome user, but grew dissatisfied with it. I still use it, though, because KDE is just not there yet, and certain Gnome applets are just way too useful. With Plasma, KDE might get there and I might switch.
Then again, maybe E17 becomes a bit more stable so I can switch to that.

Well, you could show the court some screenshots... who could prove you edited them?
You don't need the files anyway.
So would I.
If an ATM gave me too much money, I'd take it; if they can prove anything, good for them.
In a shop, though, I even return to the shop to pay for the stuff I wasn't billed for by accident.
However, I don't return any extra money in the students' mess. They should be paying me anyway at least some of the time.
That the sole purpose of governments is to conceal the existance of the UFOs, of course.
Of course they'll say that.

I do have to ask... if you have a server which shouldn't go down, why would you perform every single kernel upgrade on it?
If everything was working, why play with the server?
If I had a ten-year-old kid, I'd start saving money for a really cool present.
Correction: eight-year-old kid. I'd save up enough money by the time he was ten.
Keyword: should.
I really don't know what it does nor do I care anymore.
And I'll agree with you about the wizards... I swear, sometimes I think they're more annoying than Clippy.
... it's kind of like Emacs now?
Actually, it needs both.

Oh, I do hope I didn't hurt their tiny little feelings...
Never tried Vista, but that sounds rather like the ancient Windows "Cascade windows" feature.
I always hated it.
OK, so I haven't read TFA.
But take a look at the pic... both the Before and the After... now, why, oh why the two buttons?
Call them join and Rename, call them Network ID and Change, however you put it, you'd get a cleaner interface with just one button.
Or am I missing something?
Don't they say: "The only thing worse than X windows is Windows without the X"?
The future employer will be so emo (s)he won't care.
It never ceases to amaze me how computers get ever more complex, yet no-one wishes to RTFM. Nor learn to program.
They just want it all to simply work, out-of-the-box, no learning required.
I'm sorry... which parallel universe did you say you were from?
Even when I asked really dumb questions (having failed to see something obvious), they were all never anything but helpful and patient.
You've got a typo here...
I notice that there's some empty space left... Couldn't he find anything to fill it with?
It looks so... empty.
I've had certain problems, but I might give it a try...

Well, since JPEG is a lossy compression format, I'd think the picture gets smaller anyway.
Ah, well... who cares, really...
Oh, yes, that's a very good idea... if you've got spare RAM.
A .bmp of a large .jpg tends to get can't-fit-on-a-floppy big. Not good.
Then again, what do I know... how much RAM does Active Desktop take?

All in all, it's a good thing we have a choice.

It can be a pain, but all in all, choice is good.
I don't know... I consider retaliating to be neutral at the very worst.
But I guess you're right.
