Shut up, you're both idiots. :mad:

Given the sheer number of smileys in use on every web forum, by people of every age, anyone who believes that 'Smileys are for kids' is clearly deluded. If you...

This is looking good. I did a lot of moaning (including on here) about the 4.10.0 release because of the relatively numerous severe bugs I ran into. But 4.10.1 fixed some of them, 4.10.2 fixed all...

Being a beta, I shoudln't be so surprised to run up against bugs... :(

The game crashes instantly when I place the cube on the button in Test-Chamber 14. Does this happen for anyone else?

I've spent most of the evening playing, and was very impressed - the game was extremely smooth, much better than the various Half-Life/Counter-Strike variants that I've been playing for the last few...

Thanks, that's just what I was hoping to hear. :D
Now to find out if my aged Pentium D holds up - it wasn't that old when Portal was originally released, and if it can't cope I was planning to...

Has anyone tried this with the current AMD blob (ideally on a 77xx card) yet? Is it playable?
Just wondering whether to get it now, or wait a couple of months for AMD to patch over all the bugs that...

What I really want is a good replacement for my old 12" PowerBook G4, with the same form factor and build quality but better specs.
What is it with these widescreen things?

So my perfect laptop...

Well, this is good. :D
I really don't like the current NM plasmoid - it's huge, clunky and nonintuitive. The new one looks much cleaner and simpler, especially the sliding bit at the bottom.

In...

I looked down at my Pentium D/HD7770 combination, and cringed. :p

*Hopefully I can get hold of an i5 sometime this year, and have a balanced system again :D

Netbooks...
Almost all up until quite recently, and even now a significant proportion of the damn things. :mad:
Admittedly a lot have PowerVR graphics and are a nuisance to use Linux on anyway, but...

True, but Android apps written in Qt will be much easier to port to Ubuntu/Tizen, because of the cross-platform framework support and the way Qt hides/deals with a lot of the OS differences, than...

Well, it's a fair response :p.
I've already made a couple.

Sounds reasonable, but I'd have to install another distro and then configure it equivalently, and I don't really have the time to do...

Much-ppa'd Mint KDE, and I know that's probably not the best solution. :p I might try Arch when I get time and/or a new HDD, presumably you'd recommend it...
I was previously a Debian user, got fed...

Hmm. In previous threads I've expressed my satisfaction with recent KDE releases - the whole series from 4.0* to 4.9 was a continuous improvement to me (with my use-cases on my systems - it seems...

Has anyone else had trouble with the virtual terminals glitching badly when using this driver?
In fact, is that something I could reasonably be blaming on it in the first place? :confused: (I...

Oh, so that's how these newly-created users manage to post links/images. I was wondering about that. Thanks :)

Oh, make that 24+ now.

I'm a fairly new poster here, so a mod had to check that post before it popped up. So not only do they have (presumably) an insane backlog of reports, they can read my...

It would seem that idiotic anti-BSD trolling is back again (nothing new or surprising there).

More to the point, I reported this post almost 18 hours ago, and seemingly no-one's paid any attention...

Having gone to all that bother to quote the license, you could probably afford ten seconds to read it:?

Those words saying "...provided that the following conditions are met...retain the above...

Yeah, that sort of thing annoys me too :( . Worse, the Comic Strip widget can be quite easily crashed by dodgy plugins (of which there are many) - which then brings the entire desktop down....
