Take some responsability

Dear > 50% of Americans,

You supported your governments war on terror. Bush had 90% approval when he went to war. You even voted him back in again after he went to war.

The pictures of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison came out in early 2004. You still re-elected the same government in Novemeber 2004. Everyone knew the Americans held prisoners in secret prisons and tortured detainees.  You choose to turn a blind eye.

Democracy comes with responsability. You can’t elect a government knowing they torture and “dissapear” people from the face of the earth without taking responsability.

Torture is done in your name, Everyone of you who voted them in knowing that they torture is guilty of torture. This god in whose name you commit your crimes will be the one to judge you.

Questionable Content In Comic Plasmoid

The comic strip plasmoid had xkcd but was missing questionable content!

Fortunately it was easy to code up support for it.

The big problem is that QC is way too big!!

Konsole Embedded In Plasma

Konsole Bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163178

I really think what KDE is doing with Plasma is revolutionary. The desktop is the most valuable piece of real estate on a machine and at the moment its just an image that you can dump files on.

It can be so much more!

I have been writing up a konsole plasmoid. As I thought it would be great to have a terminal embedded into my desktop. I could then embed any old terminal program I liked into the desktop itself.

You can also see in the screen shot two folder view plasmoids. One is pointed to ~/Desktop giving me all the functionality I had before as a random place to dump files. The other plasmoid is pointed to a samba network share with all my media, giving me easy access to it from the desktop.

And just for good measure some rotated konsoles =)

And what the widget looks like without some changes to the konsole kpart to make it display properly.

Windows cannot access the specified device, path of file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

I encountered this error on a Windows 2003 Server trying to access files shared on another computer in the domain. I could copy files and then run them but I couldn’t run any executable straight from the cifs share.

Windows cannot access the specified device, path of file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

The error occurs because Internet explorer ( including windows explorer ) is set to not allow the running of executables from the “internet” zone.

Windows Server 2003 also doesn’t have the option of automatically adding local intranet addresses to the intranet zone.

The solution is to simply open up Internet Options in control panel. Select security, Select local intranet, select sites and add your intranet domain.

You can tell what zone windows explorer thinks you are in by showing the status bar and looking in the bottom right corner as you browse.
