  1. yet another on A Look At the Lightweight Equinox Desktop Environment · · Score: 3, Informative
    I wonder why this one gets its promotion from linux.com... Here's another one (that's at least new to me) http://lxde.sourceforge.net/

    Same concept, but it sounds like its at a slightly more stable state. Check it out as I just did.

  2. Re:I thought ... on A Look At the Lightweight Equinox Desktop Environment · · Score: 1

    you sound like the blackbox/fluxbox and maybe e16 type, having access to the terminal alot and using a window manager that requires little memory at all.

  3. xfce on A Look At the Lightweight Equinox Desktop Environment · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I still like xfce for over this. It looks alot like windows 9x for some reason. http://www.xfce.org/ I dunno. I'm the enlightenment/fluxbox type, but if I want a DE so i can use compiz as the window manager, I always got lost in deciding Gnome or KDE, but as soon as I found xfce I decided its the best. The number of tray plugins are sortof limited, but all it needs is more developers willing to help out with that end.

  8. Re:Poor mice on Fasting May Fix Jet Lag · · Score: 0

    Highly paid researchers torture mice for a living. It's kind of sad. which living multi-cellular organism that has genes linked to humans do you prefer? Until biotechnology reaches a point where humans can create our own living thing for the sole purpose of testing (which i assume you would disagree with also) there are really no other solution. i guess you have to decide between a hundred deaths of mice with a chance of saving a million human lives, or a million human deaths without a solution due to lack of testing. There are variables that can differ due to the situation, but it basically comes down to that concept.

    I won't get into the hypocrisy of animal rights activists, who seem to feel that a cat's life is equivalent to a human's, yet a dung beetle's life is out of the question (since he/she is no fan of insects), for that would be another 5 paragraphs ;).

    You probably know a bit more on OpenGL development than I do. How many people are involved with its development? What companies? OpenGL is one open source project I wish was ahead of times like some computer development categories, but unfortunately it isn't.

    isn't it "net user Administrator new_password"? Just as a little reference.

    "a number" to show "what type of network card ID you have"

    where the hell did you read that up? A 48 bit consisting of hexadecimal digits to give the net device its unique (well, quasi-unique) identification at the Data Link layer is more like it.

    I'm still perplexed at the "what type of network ID" part of your statement. Oh well. read a book.

    http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1942 nope, sorry to ruin your evening. However, Sims 2 has a Mac OS X version, and with a little help You can run it on your PC. I was first a linux user, and when I studied up on the bsd backend of OS X, I became interested. OS X comes with X11, so you can compile most unix(ala linux included) apps on OS X.

    So basically what you are saying is that we have the technology to make humans glow in the dark without using nuclear waste. It is about damn time. Now how about they do something useful like killing the HIV? It killed my mom, my dad, my uncle, my brother, my great great aunt, my PlayStation, and my dog. I have a solution to stop your little HIV issue from spreading: STOP STICKING YOUR FUCKING DICK INTO EVERY HOLE YOU FIND! I for one, would appreciate if you started telling people that you have HIV ahead of time.
