Uuum, that’s an actual place in the game. If you killed the dancers, they bursted into a cloud of money, like piñatas.

And then swarms of monsters appeared. Just to point out that the game did punish players for doing that. Also, for anyone who hasn't played DN3D, the player doesn't have money. You can't pick up the money.

Maybe I don't understand what you want, but there's a slider in the status bar that controls icon size, another in the settings that controls default icon and preview sizes, and settings for whether to replace icons with previews. And the file dialog uses a list mode and has the icon slider at a minimum by default. What is your desired behavior?

I agree with some of that. Personally, I'd like to have both a global and local search in Kate. It looks like the only way to set up a global search is to do it yourself with the external action plugin :(

the extremely hard way to drag a box with the mouse around files in the file manager

I've seen a lot of people say that, but I don't understand. Dragging a box works normally, ctrl+dragging works, what's broken?

<snark>KDE?</snark> I'm sure there would be plenty of other problems with KDE 3 or 4, but they both have thumbnail views, and there is a right-click menu you can add on from kde-apps.org that converts, resizes, and mails, but not all in one step. (There are a few for KDE3, but only one or two for KDE4)

That may be the case for you, but the fact is there is nothing along the lines of Microsoft Vizio in OpenOffice

It's not in OpenOffice, but since people are recommending Dia, Kivio in Koffice works well for me, and 2.0 RC runs on Windows (I haven't tried it myself, but I did install KDE on Windows). It comes with a good number of sets of shapes, and can also use Dia shapes. It has a sane 1-window interface like Krita, compared to Dia and the GIMP's mess. And no, I'm pretty sure it only depends on kdelibs, not all of KDE. The windows installer seems to do fine at dependency checking anyway.

Except old Spock already knowing about it. :) Actually, after thinking about it I agree they can't undo it (anymore). Even sending the entire fleet back to intercept Nero might not be enough, and Spock's black hole ship is gone. Unless old Ambassador Spock has been keeping up with the cutting edge in weapons and defensive technology, and can give them a hand designing new ships first. Supposedly Nero even had some Borg stuff the Romulans were studying, so even that might not be enough.

My only question is how George's crew knew they were Romulans and not just some crazy Vulcans...

It was clear the way the communications officers and Spock talked about Vulcan/Romulan similarities that they knew exactly what the Romulans were in the reboot. I'm actually glad they dropped the Federation (and especially Vulcans) not knowing who the Romulans really were. Especially since they knew about the Vulcans, meaning they spent over 2000 years hiding themselves from *everyone* just so the Vulcans would be surprised one day? It was quite a stretch to think no group that had met both would ever say anything, and Enterprise tried very very hard to have the Earth-Romulan war start up without ever seeing them. According to someone who read a draft of Balance of Terror, the whole thing was probably because of a half-deleted espionage subplot anyway.

in the USA you have a chploice of at&t or tmobile in some cities

Can't you get an unlocked iPhone to use on other providers like with old Palm Treos and others?

What other providers? The iPhone here is locked to AT&T, and if you have an unlocked one you have a choice of using it with AT&T or T-Mobile.
