@zrag: Oh yeah. It's the only way to keep the government from profiling you when you order a pizza. Read more

Hey all: The command line code has been updated/fixed, as the (blog) author himself noted he'd (unintentionally!) left off the important "/Tmp". I sincerely apologize for any confusion, and hope it didn't cause anybody troubles. Read more

@rrich: Thanks, rrich. FWIW, we generally try to post the food/house articles that apply themselves to saving time, or tackling "tasks" like recipe prep in an efficient/new way. Cooking can be a fun diversion, but it can also sometimes be something you just need to get done. Read more

@super_bryant: Actally, I saw a specific note on the site that it shouldn't be used for thumb drives, probably due to the way the background service runs when it's unlocked. Read more

@soul_grind: Check out the update I just threw in below the second paragraph for a way to get KDE 4 working with Ubuntu. And sorry for the comment spam, everybody—I've been net-less since this published. Read more

@eternicode: @The How-To Geek: I got rid of the panel without config file hacking, but to be honest, I can't quite remember how—and now I wonder if it might have been by accident! Read more

@eternicode: Valid points, but I think the overall idea with KDE 4 was to remove the monolithic focus on the panel as the place to do everything. Much of the panels' functionality (app switching, "quick launch" icons, etc.) is now available in widgets that can be placed anywhere, and more widgets are surely on the Read more

@qpease: From my experience, even running KDE on top of a GNOME installation, KDE 4 moves slightly faster, and with way fewer of the "tiny little crashes" I remember from KDE 3.5.x Read more
