This limited vision is unfortunate, because KDE includes many features that have no counterpart in any corner of the GNOME ecosystem. For example, you can:

7. Configure Virtual Desktops Separately
Virtual desktops are standard on the major Linux desktops. In most cases, a similar widget, configurable by rows and columns, is used to manage them. However, only KDE allows you to configure them separately.

This is a 51 minute animated Star Trek universe story with many good reviews that took 6 years to make.

A Review of Star Trek Aurora

A Review of
Star Trek: Aurora
by Fred Dixon

Star Trek: Aurora is an animated movie set just after the original Star Trek series in "a lawless sector of space." The eponymous Aurora itself is a small merchanter cargo ship. The crew consists entirely of two people: her shapely captain, Kara Carpenter, and her taut Vulcan first mate, T'Ling. Tim Vining, the show’s producer/director/writer, was fascinated with the civilians that Captain Kirk and crew came across. He wondered where they came from and how they came to get there. That’s the inspiration for Aurora, and as a result, we have a fresh approach to Star Trek.

Please read this. I swear it is 100% true and I have the proof (the ATM card right next to me at this very moment). I live a very normal life, married to a pretty girl, a young son and I own a small business. Until this incident nothing strange has ever happened to me. I couldn't find my wallet one morning but didn't think much of it. After a few days I started really looking for it, searched the house, my car, wife's car and the company truck, nothing. I kept checking for credit card and debit card usage but there was no activity on them. About a month goes by and I wake up Sunday morning to find my wallet on the seat of the chair of the desk on my side of the bed. I hear my wife cleaning downstairs so I shout down to her asking where she found the wallet. She says she didn't find it. There was no way it was there all along and my son was not born yet (so that rules him out). Everything in the wallet was as I left it EXCEPT the company's ATM debit card was missing. About a week goes by. I come home from work to find the ATM card on the dining room table all by itself. This is the weirdest part... the ATM card was almost identical to the one in my wallet, company name, bank logo, my signature on the back, etc. The only difference was the expiration date... 12/49. 12/49! I brought it to the bank but they couldn't explain it. I tried it in the ATM but the machine wouldn't recognize it. I cant explain it, can you? If someone would tell my how to upload a picture I'd gladly attach a photo of it. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Ricky50 This is the ATM card. http://imgur.com/aOgr0sK

When I worked at radioshack and we needed to enter a card date for a card that didn't have a date, we had to use 12/49. i have no idea why, but that's the only number that worked every time.

Interesting "stuff" What is the most unexplained photo that exists, thats real?

This is one of the few sensible outcomes. They could easily have tried their usual "stifle" campaign and in the pre-net era they would.

I think more puppet strings from SnowdenGate are showing!

This would have been called "unrealistic" as a plot line from any generic TV show 15 years ago!!

Why the death of the PC is a myth
-Arizona Hot (October 28, 2013, 02:23 AM)

I'm not usually a fan of Fox News, but this time they finally put "official words" to my view that absolutely the PC is not dead, it's a "PC Plus" world.

I do a decently large variety of things on my PC. And while I do like about 12 phone apps, there's no chance if someone carted my comp away as "dead, so what do you care", could I function!

I view Phones-Tablets sorta like "Brothers" that trade phone calls vs screen space, but I am suspicious of tablets because why isn't a "PC" that form size?

Anyway, just sounding a vote of support for the Desktop PC (or Mac/Linux, not going OS war here). Phones don't run ANYTHING ... certainly not the some 50 programs I have loaded and use, and the other 200 I have looked at and let sit there!
