Well calling everyone who disagress with you for religous zealots. Is well, what a religous zealot would do?

Also i've never heard of anyone link climate change to earthquakes, nor does a statement that does, cause everything else related to climate change false.
Climate change is happening, that seems quite establish and easy to measure, and there are some pretty nasty sideeffects (for some). Thats quite common with change, especially on a planetary scale ;).

What's interesting is if we can do anything about it.

It sucks a bit yes..

'Just' change your workflow.

Find the file in nautilus and drag it wherever you need the file. Often it's faster, sometimes it isn't. But it's a bug if it doesn't work.

Not the best solution - but try do it if you can.
Me? My brain is still stuck going for the filepicker first.

That's two diffent screensavers.

The f-spot one shows the pictures markes as favorites. Which is a bit limited :/.

The pictures one shows all pictures from whatever XDG_PICTURES_DIR is set to.
Default is XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures".

Also, f-spot does have a 'hidden' tag that hides any pictures marked as such unless you explicitly choose them.

Google Shows Off Ad-Supported Cell Phone 290

taoman1 writes "Today Google showed off a ad-supported cellphone that the company plans to offer for free to interested parties. The product could reach the marketplace within a year, and will offer Google search, email, and a web browser. 'The move would echo another recent product launched by a phone industry outsider, Apple Inc.'s iPhone. But Google's product would draw its revenue from a sharply different source, relying on commercial advertising dollars instead of the sticker price of at least US$499 for an iPhone and $60 per month for the AT&T Inc. service plan. Negotiating the fairest way to split those advertising revenues with service providers could be a big hurdle for Google, one analyst said. Another problem is the potential that consumers could be scared off by the prospect of listening to advertisements before being able to make phone calls, said Jeff Kagan, a wireless and telecommunications industry analyst in Atlanta.'"
