If it's still radio-active then it's really still fuel; we should be
building things that can use that fuel safely, not trying to hide it.
The difficulty is political not technical, as the route to bombs is too
close to the route to efficient fission power stations.  Look at what
the USA did when Iran tried.

It's a configuration option which is by default disabled.
In this concern microsoft windows is far behind, as you can't disable
double click.

PS. When trolling, you should not include the instructions for your
trolling in your post.

Sounds like you are thinking only of the file manager and opening files. I suspect Peter made that same mistake but even then Linux still has it to be used.

You are arguing Linux handles double click better. Peter argued it did not have the feature at all. Even someone who has his file manager set to open on single click should know better.

Thanks! I will keep in mind! Wow, you must be an expert at trolling!

As usually, you snip to distort context

The *real* answer was this

-------------------------
There we go. Double clicking is *not* standard use in linux, you 
incompetent fool

So you start with a "feature" which is used in OSX and windows, but *not* 
in linux.
-------------------------

Which means that doubleclick is available, just that it isn't used by 
default. Which is *true*

You knew that, filthy lying scum, but you got your ass handed with your 
"sudo debacle" (where you also tried to distort context by selective 
quoting) and now you try to "retaliate" by trolling and outright lying in a 
non-advocacy group.

You are the lowest lifeform imaginable, Snit Michael Glasser.

Of course it does. Linux "features" double clicking as a standard input
method. The person who claimed otherwise was merely trolling.

I think they plan to introduce it about 25 years ago.

Linux itself will probably *never* have the ability to double click;
however, the x-window system running on top of Linux has had
double-click since it was first written years ago, and not only has it
had it it is configurable as to what it, and sigle click, etc do.

It is a pretty basic thing for the i/o device to be on a difference
machine across a network to the actual machine running the program which
x-windows has done since it was first written (pre-Windwos), but Windwos
has took years to get anywhere close.

Just so you know ... you're responding to one of the infamous troll

You are, of course, lying. Please, ronb, I know the "everyone is Snit" gag
is a mainstay of COLA, but do not bring it elsewhere. Others do not know the
context and how it is not even meat to be believed. Here you are merely
trolling.

Sadly Marek asked me in COLA to come look for stuff here... but by making it
a public request he also invited those who troll COLA. Nasty waters there.

I know it is a troll, I'm just bored and want to see how it responds to
its own logic thrown back at it, because it's really responding to
itself and telling me what it thinks about itself.

What is odd is how ronb has decided to come in and mention me in his
trolling of this group. Is it not enough that he troll COLA? I do not get
it... that strong of a desire for attention is outside of my worldview.
