Music: a Mathematical Offering

Why do rhythms and melodies, which are composed of sound, resemble the feelings, while this is not the case for tastes, colours or smells? Can it be because they are mo-
tions, as actions are also motions? Energy itself belongs to feeling and creates feeling. But tastes and colours do not act in the same way.

Design Your Own Desktop with KDE 4

"One of the best things about KDE 4, the newest release of the mainstream Linux desktop manager, is something it doesn't do—force you to adapt to its way of running a computer desktop. Sure, the desktop environment boasts new 3-D effects, a polished theme, and improved functionality. But what KDE 4 does best is give users the ability to almost completely re-design their desktops, putting their programs, icons, and useful widgets wherever they see fit, on as many desktops as they want, to create their ideal workspace."
