No, systray icons are displayed (and can be accessed and interactively used) in the bottom right corner, which is, however, shown only when you push your mouse cursor there, or when some notification shows up. The area left of the username

Last time, high oil prices and cheap loans to build and rent anything anywhere caused a major world economic crisis. That's the future. Well. I'm afraid it is. Something nice to embrace, indeed.

Now, perhaps, if there were cities that were not raped for the automobile. I don't know any. Looted by insatiable suburbian parking needs, there is two meter wide sidewalk in the street where I live, yet barely a single person can pass, the

Couldn't you, for example, cut some funding from the "military-industrial complex", if it wasn't needed to secure the resources (oil) to sustain the suburbs? Don't you need huge central banks to provide cheap loans to devastate large portio

Or you could show a single window on both monitors (if you have two), for example, xmobar. Or you could resize the windows as bitmaps instead of resizing app size into grotesque values (150x150 pixel browser?) in various tiling layouts. Not

I work in a small office park located quite similarly on a grassy field locked entirely by some freeways and other large roads, though the buildings here are cheap and ugly, but even if they weren't, it'd still totally suck. It's isolated,

I either walk or take a tram (60 minutes on foot, 30 by the tram), and it's not good. I've got plenty of time to see how is this city ugly and how everything is getting only worse every year. Most of the time on the tram and walking to the

There is no 'EU law', there are various levels of different EU policy documents. Directives should be implemented (somehow) in the member states legislatures, but it's not that unusual that they are not met within the deadline (or even in a

In Europe (at least continental), there is a clear distinction between "village" and "town", because historically, "town" was a legal status granted by the king or church (city would be perhaps the town where the archbishop would have his s

Not really, because almost all (if not all) large Czech news websites and press are owned by German media companies, and almost the same is true for Slovakia, so it's unlikely they would be interested in such competition.

Almost any Slovak can easily understand Czech and read pretty much anything written in the neighbouring Czech republic (where paid internet media are quite unlikely in the near future), but I guess that they are interested in what is going

I have been able to use F15 alpha for a week or so, and I actually quite like it. Majority of problems that I've met so far was caused by systemd or some other novelty, not Gnome 3.

It would work in a direct sunlight, something that no laptop is capable of, but with the constant redrawing, I'm not sure if these nice power figures would actually hold, sure, my e-ink reader can last for at least weeks, but that's perhaps

More than you can see as an ordinary visitor, people aren't usually allowed in, you can just look out of the door back there.

It's much more like slightly more responsive behavior everywhere, not just browsers. I have bought cheap low-end Android handset, as I really didn't want to pay a hefty price for the iPhone (Europe, it's very expensive even with subscriptio

So, you would prefer living near tens of square miles of moon-like wasteland created by ever-growing surface coal mines, eventually even having your house demolished to allow the mine grow more again, in order to feed that power plant? In a

I feel almost infinitely more threatened by a lack of electric power than a nuclear plant accident (the nearest one is about 35 km from here, for the record). And that is much more likely to happen; from some perspective, it even seems inev

In my perception, it shows that nuclear plants are able to sustain damage during such a massive earthquake without causing significant harm to their surrounding, all while the oil refineries are burning…

As if "funny" nicknames weren't almost the norm all around the globe. Would you be surprised to learn that Apple employees call Nokia the log makers from Finland or something like that? I wouldn't.

Shuttle needs to be assembled and erected (though in the opposite order?) somewhere and somehow as well. (And requires a giant hall to do so.) But yes, of course, I tell it mostly as a joke to counter the space pen story. I'm sure that ther

One interesting difference from the American program that had always intrigued me is that Buran was carried horizontally on a heavy launch pad with gear to erect the whole unit on the launch site, moving on pretty much ordinary railway trac

Some time ago, a friend of mine told me that he had a great idea, something like Facebook, but, you know, for the "geeks" and all ze teknischen peepers, blogging, photo sharing, video, everything. At that point, it had simply occurred to me

It could helped Google to get rid of some kind of unfamiliarity and a notion of being "that strange foreign thing". Seznam.cz is completely ubiquitous, when you had connected your modem and fired up the web browser for the first time, it wo

Seznam.cz itself (quite vehemently) claims that the numbers are not accurate and this claim isn't true. Still, there is a very clear downward trend with Seznam search and I don't know what can be done about it. Seznam search is most likely
