  1. Re:Could we have that in English please on Beryl User Interface for Linux Reviewed · · Score: -1

    could you use only some features of beryl while at the same time keeping the settings you have done on your native window manager? i already like the look of my xfwm, and when i try and activate beryl it always had to use whatever look was set via emerald.

  2. Re:What does it mean for us to observe something? on Quantum Physics Parts Ways With Reality · · Score: -1

    if anything can be observers, then anything makes anything else "real", or intact. how do we get to that point where "nobody" is observing? format c:?

    Dear Scott,

    You were right! I have removed the fans, and my PC still works! It has been running for 15 minutes now. The room has gotten a little warm, but nothing to worry about. Last question, though, I can see some smoke coming out of the chassis. Is it a norma

    Do I just have to use update manager to upgrade from 7.10 beta to final?

    Somewhat related - does the N800 support A2DP (stereo over bluetooth)?

  6. Re:Here is a cheaper alternative on When the Alarm Clock Runs and Hides · · Score: 0

    Actually, for people having problems waking up, it only works the first few times. I don't know how, but sometimes I wake up and find my alarm clock, perched on top of a really high closet (like 6-7 feet up) TURNED OFF without me remembering turning it off. This usually happens when I only have 2-4 hours sleep before the alarm's supposed to go off.

    I could really use an alarm clock like this, but not this particular one - too easy to catch, and a slippage hazard. The "assemble bomb" version looks more promising..

    WTF? A post containing only the word "WTF" is modded interesting? Can anyone mod this interesting as well? Help free me from bad karma.

    Who would want to drive firetrucks on a regular day? Parking is hell with those things.

  10. Re:Why compete? on Debian 4.0 'Etch' Released · · Score: 0

    FWIW, I compared memory consumptions after logging in (no apps run except terminal) between the latest Debian and Ubuntu:

    Debian 4.0rc0 [non-expert GUI install] = 118760k used
    Ubuntu 7.04 beta [alternate install] = 221752k used

    What's so horrible about this?

  13. Re:Related on Hacking Our Five Senses · · Score: 0

    It would also be neat if we could "re-route" sensory data into another sensory input, e.g., seeing sounds as if they were colors. (Yes, the way those "develop perfect pitch!" products advertise themselves.)

  14. Re:The list on PC World's 50 Best Tech Products of All Time · · Score: 0

    You can listen to The Beatles now and still find their music great. With that same logic, we should all still run Windows 95.

  15. Re:Drummania comparison on Guitar Hero Developer Announces Rock Band · · Score: 0

    While GH's gameplay feels much more true to real guitar playing, I find that I like GF's songs better, because new songs that are really good tend to blow me away. We're already familiar with the classic tunes (still great, though) featured in GH.

    Good thing Kubuntu has the announcement on their homepage, because the links to download the Buntu variants from TFA download page point to none (as of the time of this writing).

    What I'm really waiting for is Xubuntu.
