I think it's unfair to say bad things about Christopher Tolkien. The Histories of Middle Earth are very fine works in and of themselves, not just "milking his dads work."

Both sides are being lame on this. It's lame that the Tolkien Estate and especially Christopher is so opposed to (good) movie versions being made, but it also laughably ridiculous that the studio expects anyone to believe they didn't make any money. In the end, I think the TE should win and Newline should pay up, but if the movie is not released it will be terrible.

I can't claim that KDE 4.2 actually works, but I do know that Kubuntu is an atrocious implementation of KDE. I've been considering giving another distro a chance to try out KDE4, maybe SUSE or Mandriva.

Is that on Windows only? Because I'm sure that didn't happen to me.
