I think I actually understand what you're saying. I have some very old audio files on my computer that have been transferred around numerous times between disks etc and have got slightly corrupted so...

I'm amazed that noones pointed out the nonsensical logic you've used.

You said when your linux box crashes it has to do a filesystem check. This is nothing to do with what file system you use,...

I've never understood all the talk about how fonts look, not just in firefox, but generally people go on about it all the time. As long as I can read them then I'm happy

\LaTeX ftw. I can't stand using anything else anymore, it just looks so much more pro.

However, on the openoffice front, its true it can be a real pain sometimes. Configuring charts in calc still...

Fifth gear is a clone of the original top gear. It even had the same presenters! Basically top gear was cancelled so most of the presenters went to channel 5, hence 5th gear.

The new Top Gear is...

Helpful!

I was thinking more along the lines of "item number x is a bit objectionable"

What was wrong with them? (Not read them myself, always helpful when other people point out the possibly contentious points!)

Anyway, looks like a pretty cool idea really.

I suspect this thread won't last much longer, which is a shame really.

I think people need to understand there's a big difference between supporting the troops and supporting the war. In the UK at...

To be honest I get far more annoyed with people that take windows icons and post them on there under the GPL.

All of this :)

And you get Alice Cooper for the breakfast show on planet rock. What more could you want?

All I ever get from chromium is an "Aw. Snap!" page! No idea how to debug it either...

Unfortunately I no longer do chemistry, so I don't have access to chemdraw. Would be interested to know if anyone gets it working properly though.

This was in the news a while ago - thinking about running for 20 minutes was found to be nearly as effective as actually running for 20 minutes by a team of researchers. Not sure how scientific the...

Does anyone else find that in firefox 3.5 it tries to load pages from your middle click paste when you're trying to do middle click for other things. For example, middle clicking next to your tabs to...

It doesn't work at all without javascript. You should at least try and provide basic functionality for paranoid people or mobile users.

That is entirely possible but would involve the program being rewritten to use policykit. I assume its written by nvidea and isn't open source, so it would take the people at nvidia to fix it.

This is a bug in ubuntu, mine did it until I fixed it. When you connect by usb the device sends an identifying code, ubuntu interprets this the wrong way.

See this bug report, its for a sansa but...

Did you read the article - Its not even that long! He explicitly explains why mono or portable.net are not the problem.

I've only really used gtk before, but it does provide a lot of useful tools other than the obvious GUI end to things. I imagine there must be some command line toolkits out there, but I guess most of...

If you want to write crossplatform software (which for big projects can be a bit of a nightmare...) you're best off using a toolkit. It can provide a lot of functionality that would be system...

Its not just about how complex a task it would be, its simply not possible. As someone else said there are multiple possible files that can match one hash. This has to be the case - think about it in...

It probably depends on where you live (and of course, I'm not a lawyer), but I'm pretty sure that in general the answer is no. (Edit: Just realised this isn't clear - I meant no, its not legal!)

Someone sent me a bobcat on ebay when I ordered an office chair :(

I'm taking no responsibility for this comment:

Opening things up like the PSU is dangerous as people have said, but I've replaced the fan in mine before with a quieter one, and as long as you're...
