I don’t know what caused me to do it, but tonight I finally bit the bullet and made the jump from KDE to Gnome.
I’ve been a KDE user for sometime, probably mostly out of laziness. I did switch my work desktop over a couple weeks ago but have been holding over [...]

aption text listings from TV shows. It’s still in testing so who knows where/what this will materialize into in terms of the google’s regular searching [...]

SYDI - Simplifying Network Documentation
SYDI is a very cool set of scripts that allow a network administrator to easily put together a series of documents about the various (windows) PC’s on his

Look Mom, it’s google without the advertisments.
Personally, I think its ugly and I have no beep with Googles in-search advertisements. I guess this is right up the alley of the google-watch.org support
