    [ubuntu] Re: Pidgin

    Don't get discouraged, it's extremely easy, just go to Accounts->Manage Accounts and select your protocol (MSN, Google Talk, AIM, ICQ, etc) and fill in the form with your username and password.

    Re: the ugly desktop thread

    OT: Talking about ugly, may I draw your attention to the fact that back in 1988 they used the same WIMP interface we use today? Think. :P

    Re: the ugly desktop thread

    I actually think CDE looked more elegant than KDE1 :P
  4. Re: Cool applications you use that others might not know of

    Wow! That's simply great! I don't know why I never thought of looking for that kind of application. I love the idea of being notified about events when the computer starts up (as opposed to being...

    What's the difference between that and top/htop exactly?

    Re: Environmental impact of Windows

    Before calling it "goofy", try to consider the argument.
    Of course people will not toss it straight away. They'll try to "fix" it in some way. But surely, thinking that Windows is the computer will...

    Re: Environmental impact of Windows

    I guess a lot of people cannot even differentiate between a computer and an OS. Of course that's all thanks to MS, which tries to cover any alternative (Windows = computer). Ever heard MS speaking...
  8. Re: Cool applications you use that others might not know of

    There's also BMPx, which is the next generation of the next generation of XMMS (Audacious is based on BMP, which in turn was based on XMMS). However you might find it too bloated...

    Poll: Re: Any Jamendo users here?

    You *can* download individual songs. Check any album page, and while you hover the song list you will see a downwards-arrow on the right side of each song, that's for downloading.
  10. Re: Cool applications you use that others might not know of

    Yeah, I haven't been using a word processor since I have discovered LaTeX. It makes my work flows with a speed I could only dream of in the GUI world. And the papers look even more stylish and...

    Re: Using a text web browser

    fuscia,
    you *can* use Youtube with Elinks. I have created a little script that uses youtube-dl, and you can incorporate it within Elinks. If you can read Italian (or if you can use Google...
  12. Re: Channel 4's absymal Linux support (for people in the UK)....

    This is when I fully support piracy. Not that I care about Channel 4 anyway.


    Damn Microsoft.
  13. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    Yeah, I wasn't saying that the rest of tiling WMs are crap. Surely variety is all good :D

    @ theDaveTheRave
    As LaRoza pointed out, there are not workspaces, but tags. You can use the tags to work...
  14. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    In my opinion, Awesome is a good thing. I mean, it's just a step in a direction other WMs haven't considered yet. I like eyecandy, because I think it can improve usability. Look & feel matters. So, I...

    Re: Console Programming

    It's already among the links provided on LaRoza's website, but I want to highlight it: http://linuxcommand.org
    It's not about ncruses, but it's an excellent introduction to shell commands, which you...
  16. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    Nah, your irony doesn't fit here. So if something is not flashy, wobbly and you can't draw with fire on top of the screen, then it must be old? Eyecandy will eventually hit the tiling WM world...
  17. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    And I would say: wmii is not Awesome (wNA).
    I have my reasons to choose wmii over Awesome, so far. The fact I haven't tried it yet, is the major reason why I'm not definitive on it :D
    But knowing...
  18. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    Sorry for double-posting, but it's just more practical at this stage for me :P

    Anyway, there's no way to do that, and that's what kept me away from wmii for a loooong time. Then I realised I'm not...
  19. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    That was exactly my feeling when I tried to go back to old fashioned WMs, after a long time spent on tiling WMs. It took quite some time for me to get the hang of them again.
    Anyway, I'm back to...

    Re: Good, Cheap, Healthy Intern food?

    Pasta. Cheap and healthy. I am a student myself, and I mostly eat pasta.
    Of course I'm a bit biased, since I'm Italian, and that's what I've grown up with :P
  21. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    Damn you, Compiz! errr.. sorry I got carried away :P
  22. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    I don't think anyone uses the "official" manual to install Arch. Even the devs are considering to include the beginners guide in the core ISO.
  23. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    Did you follow the Beginners Guide?
  24. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    That looks interesting, I might give it a try when I get some free time. Thanks for sharing :)


    A pain in the asterisk because you use Ubuntu, I assume :P
    Here on the dark side life is easier ;)
  25. Re: why doesn't everyone use a tiling window manager?

    It doesn't look like it from the screenshots, though... I never tried it myself, assuming it was just an "easier" dwm.
