darkduck | 14 years ago | on: Ubuntu-based netbook hits South Africa at $188

The smallest plan for the netbook includes 100Mb of data per month. Not sure if this is enough to cover even security updates... Although, good idea anyway.

Just checked in Aurora again. It is now v.9. And DuckDuckGo is in the default list.

darkduck | 14 years ago | on: Firefox 8 beta gets Twitter search straight from the browser

I think DuckDuckGo is already in the list. At least I saw it in Aurora channel for Firefox 8.

Round piece of plastic which can hold some information in electronic format. Also can be used as coaster for coffee cup.

Not all Linux distributions have ISOs ready for USB-usage. Some of them are still sticking to CD as media.

I am not sure about particular situation about OOo/Libre Office in Australia, but I have gut feeling that Defence and Cloud are not much compatible. Unless Australian Defence wants to create their own Cloud infrastructure.

darkduck | 15 years ago | on: Fedora 15 KDE: When New Old Is Better Than New New.

KDE4 is relatively old compared to GNOME 3. At least, Fedora has several versions with KDE4 already. And only very fresh one with GNOME 3.

darkduck | 15 years ago | on: Fedora 15 KDE: When New Old Is Better Than New New.

@wccrawford: "New Old" means KDE 4.6 on Fedora, compared to "New New" of GNOME 3. Will you disagree that KDE version is slightly better than GNOME 3, for example because it is more polished? I am not aware about OSX, never worked with it. Maybe they have this feature for longer than Win7.
