Re: TLLTS website redesign just for the World Cup

That's pretty cool, it even comes with the annoying sound that they make. :D

Linux and ESPN

I stumbled across this when looking at MLS stuff on ESPN. Not much, but any publicity is good publicity. :)

Re: Karmic Koala turning out to be Linux' version of Windows ME?

I upgraded my laptop last Sunday while watching football. I had no problem at all with the upgrade and did not do a clean install I tried the upgrade button on the updater. I have used the machine all week and no issues. :D

I also liked how the community was really cool to one another at the show. That is why I come back every year.

Great! The more the merrier 8) You will have a great time. Don't forget to bring some extra cash, because first timers have to pick up the tab at the pre and post conference parties. :shock: Just kidding

Re: KDE 4.1

I have to agree with your review. I also am using KDE4.1 thanks to a rolling upgrade to my arch box. It is pretty nice, and like you say buggy. In particular scrolling up and down pdf files sometimes causes only part of the document to scroll, I have looked around the NET for other people having the...

Re: KDE 4.1 now in Slackware -current

I'm with Pat on this one as well. The new logo kinda sucks. I don't want to see this logo on a splash screen anytime soon. :lol: When I think of Slackware, I think of an old, stable distro, not all artsy-fartsy. Either way I look forward to KDE4.1 in Slack.

Pat, you might want to put this on a mailing list or something. If the screener is tipped off on this page, then nobody gets through. :?

Re: Taking Linux advocacy to the "mainstream" tech press

I am all for being honest in the calls to Leo's show. I don't want the Linux users to come across as twisted as some of the Mac zealots. Many people that do not know much about computers and have heard a little bit about Linux think we are a bunch of either a) too 1337 :oops: for Windows and are bit...

Re: Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals

I hope you are right, as I will be cheering on the Celts as well. They did a great job all year and did a number on my Pistons in the Conference Finals. If the Celtics can stop Kobe, the rest of the Laker's will not have enough scoring to win in a seven game series. I will be watching this evening b...

Re: TLLTS IRC Location

I voted for "I don't care". I doesn't matter where it is hosted, I will make it a point to be there. It comes down to whatever is more convenient for you, you should go with. Just don't take it down 8)
