Actually I personally in my long kde time always found Konqueror superior to total commander in everything except that much of the goodyness was hidden behind kio::slaves (sftp://blabla for instance)
and in shortcuts, you could reach various notworked filesystem you could split and tab as youd like and etc... but it took time to learn it, most of the functionality was not obvious.
I never missed total commander in Linux, on OSX however... sure there is pathfinder, but it is not the same!

The 1024x600px screen built into my laptop, or the 1360x768px screen I use when I take it home?

Signal strength alone does not guarantee the ability to make/receive calls. Even if your mobile is registered in the network, making and receiving calls depends on the availability of various scarce resources, namely:

1. a "slot" on the over-the-air network (# of active connections per cell is limited)
2. a "switching path" inside your operators network
3. a "switching path" inside one or more transfer networks (owned by someone else)
4. a "switching path" inside the network the caller/callee is connected to
5. a "slot" on the over-the-air network on the others side (if the caller/callee is mobile)

In case of "lots of missed calls" in a particular area (your home) one could assume that

• your home cell is overcrowded (all slots in use) or
• there is a bottleneck in the upstream network

Note: outgoing calls should have the same problems; if they "fail less" it could be because your operator has chosen to reserve a (possibly large?) percentage of the slots/lines for outgoing calls. (Which obviously reduces the chances of incoming calls even more)

You no longer have to pay a premium with Intel either. I've noticed that Intel recently began adding their "Virtualization Technology" to all new CPU models, even their entry-level Celeron and Pentium Dual-Core lines. Example: this $53 Celeron E3200 at Newegg.

I think Intel did this in response to Microsoft's announcement of Windows 7's "Windows XP Mode" and its requirement of on-CPU virtualization technology. AMD also recently started adding their "AMD-V" to their previously-excluded Sempron line of CPUs. Newegg has one for just $40.

For a long time (since the Pentium D days), Intel had a confusing market segmentation strategy where some models had it and some didn't, even within the same CPU family (Pentium D, Core 2 Duo). In contrast, after AMD-V was introduced, AMD added it to all of their newly released Athlon 64 and x2 CPUs (but not Sempron). And after the Core 2 Duo was introduced and kicked major butt, AMD dramatically dropped their prices, resulting in cheap AMD virtualization platforms.

Anyhoo, AMD isn't the only option anymore for cheap virtualization.

Who says WWW unless they intentionally mean World Wide Web? People just say goto google.com or wikipedia.com. Yes, I know wikipedia is under the .org domain, but the .com works just fine. Same with slashdot.com for slashdot.org. So, I say skip the web. as well.

Putting Wine on Linux netbooks is not a good idea.
1. It gives a false impression of Linux as an inferior no cost alternative to run your Windows apps.
2. It provides compatibility with many forms of Windows malware.
3. It reduces the pressure on the user to find open source alternatives.

One of the underlying questions is: with the millions of hours of music we already made, what benefit does it bring us to have even more music?

If you're a 80's music fan, then you already have everything you need ;-)

They may want to change this page then. This looks like a promise:

And if you're wondering, yes, archive.org does have a backup copy of that page.

On the desert-solar thing, It turns out you need to clean the mirrors frequently, which requires water, which requires energy to bring in since there is little in the desert. It's a big problem.

And your statement more or less proves his point. When women stop being whiny, they're just as, if not more capable than men. And likewise, men who spend all day whining about how unfair life is will get nowhere.

Didnt they try to sell off the entire company recently?

Its obvious that the magazine is pretty worthless these days. Actually most magazines are. The business is just dead, as the internet is where readers now turn and magazines just dont know how to make that profitable yet. Its amazing that they cant figure it out. I actually have ideas on this but i'm not selling or telling them :P

Playboy yet again behind the internet, we've all seen Marge, Lisa, and Maggie naked on the net for years :)

Oh I wish I had mod points right now - this is VERY true. AT&T's network is painfully slow in most markets (luckily, my primary market is pretty good, but I frequent others where it is almost completely unusable). 3G data is pointless if you have zero capacity in your back-haul to the backbone...I can see this only as fodder to raise rates and cry fowl against the voip companies in a few months...
