KDE is back!
Category: Fedora, KDE | 
Leave a Comment
On my system, running Fedora 7 and Compiz causes the computer to refuse to exit Gnome. I always have to go into a terminal and shut the computer down that way and it’s extremely annoying. So I’ve decided to run KDE as my default desktop instead of Gnome. We’ll see if I can rekindle the fire I used to have for KDE or if it will annoy me enough to drive me back to Gnome.
So far I’ve used KDE all day today from Konqueror to Kopete to amarok. So far everything’s running well. I was having some problems with flash on Konqueror at first, but then I went into Settings->Configure Konqueror->Plugins and clicked on Scan for New Plugins. Then it found the flash plugin I already had installed for my mozilla-based browsers. This was good, because I didn’t want to have to download a copy per browser. So things seem to be going well so far.
We’ll see if I end up going with Torvalds’ desktop environment or the one rms would choose.

Terror Alert
Category: News, Politics, jokes | Leave a Comment
I came across the follwing European Threat information the other day but have been unable to validate its status. Anyone else seen these and can verify?
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved”. Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross”. Londoners have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to a “Bloody Nuisance”. The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was during the great fire of 1666.
Also, the French government announced yesterday it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide”. The only two higher levels in France are “Surrender” and “Collaborate”. The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.
It’s not only the English and French that are on a heightened level of alert.
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing”. Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides”.
The Germans also increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs”. They have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose”.
The Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Italians are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Italian navy can get a really good look at the old Italian navy.

Hope you enjoyed this playful ribbing at our friends across the pond. Came to me by way of my brother. Laugh! It’s all we have left nowadays.
