XFCE was really different 5 years ago. It was much simpler and pretty much a CDE clone that was gone in GTK. Now it has become something like GNOME 2.x.

Its seems that they don't like to be perceived that way. It gets funny: It's fluent in 9 languages including English, German, French and Ukrainian. What, do I have to download it to see if its fluent in Russian? Come on, why do you hide i

Also forgot to mention - Slackware is a traditionally KDE distro and KDE increasingly feels like a second-class citizen in many distributions.

Early Firefox felt really responsive and it was more functional and safe than IE. What happened? I still use it, but I definitely don't feel the same about it.

The Russians just announced that they have a huge amount of quality diamonds on their territory in some site that they haven't started exploiting yet. To profit they basically have to ape De Beers and create a huge demand in Europe or Asia

Not sure why is that, but I think it temporarily fills your stomach and makes it 'relax'. In my experience the same meal if hot makes me feel much more full. I've heard that fast food joints intentionally try to serve the coldest possible d

It is often said that computer programs, of the IS type, do not think, they are only simulating or modeling thought. Let's look at this as follows: We have no problems saying that birds fly. Likewise, we say that airplanes and even model a

What if they did? You cannot really predict the future. In the early 90s in my country (Bulgaria) there was an extreme need of accountants and many programmers emigrated (and we had massive amounts of engineers due to socialist planning). N

I'm actually excited about the second part: The new version also significantly reduces the memory overhead of leaky add-ons. I'm going to download a bunch of downloads and see how it feels now.

A more probable headline - Apple consumers are wondering what they are paying for. Not really news, and I doubt its going to affect sales for now. Eventually they'll have to reinvent themselves if they want to stay cool, though. (Like Sony

Its awful. It reminds me of the Gmail redesign. I hate these simplified, 2d websites. Why do you have to ruin every website?

I think the ultimate anti-Valve is a military and everything else falls in-between. Some businesses are required by nature to be military-like - logistics for example.

The IPCC has a great website with a lot of information. There are books you can download which explain the science and answer questions from skeptics. Its very calm and very respectful of the intelligence of the reader.

Indeed, the first page was entirely useless, it was nothing about the company and no useful information about IT in Romania. He didn't mention Drakula? I'm pleasantly surprised. Also note the ridiculous mention of Bulgarian youth as if it i
