It sounds like those XML files are already there when you install the windows or mac version. Why don't you just open them up and edit them by hand?

But then you cannot crack it open and actually see the components that make the thing run. If this is about educating kids on computers I think that it is really useful to be able to see where each part of the system lives and what it look

I like to call this the Scooby Doo effect. The ghost always appears for Scooby but not for the rest of the gang.

Logitech gaming mouses actually come with weights that let you do just this. Its theoretically for better game performance but I think it speaks to your point that sometimes weight gives a more satisfying tactile response. http://www.logi

Uploading a file somewhere public is barely publishing. There are issues of formats, making it easy to find with search, marketing and metadata to name a few.

RHEL, fedora (RH again) and openSUSE all have paid programmers working on their distro at various companies. Arch does not. I will agree that not having signing is an argument against using pacman the Arch package manager. There are, how

Arch is an amazing distro and every one of my experiences with the community have so far been positive. Kind of a bummer to see people dumping on it in the mailing lists and LWN.

Some people definitely write me off. The key to engaging them is not coming off as if I believe it too much. Then they think that they can convince me. When I come off as either an asshole or a conspiracy nut then people just laugh it of

I'm curious whether your "Yes" is because you yourself deny the holocaust or because you think that it is important to hear the other side of the story. I will admit myself that while I don't actually believe it to be true, I often take the

I was disappointed that they didn't delve into how they would create the desire to heat human flesh / brains. This seems to me to be a vital feature of zombies. I'm sure there are some strange diseases that already cause people to want to

This does look fairly cool. Sort of reminds me of when I watched Hackers and wished that all of my user interfaces were going to be that cool some day.

This article totally reminded about whisper systems. I'm downloading their phone and text replacements now and can't wait to try them out.

I agree. I definitely don't see any basis for claiming that this article was plagiarized. TC wrote a similar article with similar points, that doesn't mean that they stole from you.

Cool! What is the science backing this? Is it coming out of studies or some theoretical modeling? I've been wondering what the most efficient speed for moving traffic was on a typical highway for a while.
