Click me, obviously. Guess we're just too damn lazy to persuade one hundred measly politicians, eh?

> Beyond that, I find GNOME cleaner looking

Really ?

Yeah it looks awesome as you can see on this screenshot. So awesome that every toolbar looks differently than the other. One with icons only, the other with text below the icons, the other has draghandles, the other toolbar is bigger than the others and and and. This form GNOME CVS. So please don't spread bullshit about consistent and aesthetical look. You are wrong, this screenshot proves you wrong.

> GNOME dialogs are also awesome.

Yeah but GNOME is utterly broken as you can see on this screenshot. Look at all the Toolbars, one with Icons only, the other with Text below Icons, one has draghandles in the Toolbar, the other not, then the different sizes of the Toolbars. This is just the tip of the mountain. I mean you write about clean estate and consistent looks all the time and you are wrong. This screenshot was taken from the latest known GNOME there is - aka CVS.

Right now I'm posting from IE and trying to figure out what it screwed up.

Firefox wouldn't launch after install. After rebooting I see this http://img115.echo.cx/img115/6282/firefoxhosed5wg. jpg bookmarks, the address bar, and my personal toolbar links are gone.

Not exactly what I expect from Google. Although I'm sure its working fine for others I have a plain jane install that gives me no grief. It did work on IE btw, but it totally screwed up Firefox. Uninstalling did NOT fix the problem.

Phear my cool GNOME CVS desktop. Look at that top current Screnshot that I've taken. The Toolbars went through huge usability studies by experts. It's clean, consistent and integrates perfectly, this is the most clean desktop amongst them all.

Ok after I ended consistant puking let's use something better, something with serious future.

Oh by the way have another look here:

Edd Dumbill, valuable member and developer of the GNOME Desktop Environment, author of the "Mono: A Developer's Notebook" book, speaks up his mind about GNOME in one of his recent blog entries.

Mikael Hallendahl, valuable member and developer of the GNOME Desktop Environment speaks out his mind upon GNOME and if there is a possible future.

There are even other key GNOME people who think about stopping the work on their products. Read what Damien Sandras (author of GnomeMeeting) has to say.

At least it looks better than the PS3 concept images. Take a look for yourself. http://img224.echo.cx/my.php?image=omgps38js.jpg

Its corrosive property is particularly nasty. Here's what happens to a copper seal in a H2S gas line over time. The inner part of the seal has been in contact with H2S and as you can see it's just flaking away. Aluminum, plastic or synthetic rubber seals don't do much better and a leak in a H2S line will definitely ruin your day...

I know where they can get at LEAST a gigawatt for FREE.

Duh.

The ability to innovate. Opera has defined many of today's "hot" browser features like mouse gestures and tabbed browsing. Firefox simply copied what's out there. I started using Opera back when it was in v3.something, precisely due to mouse gestures and tabbed browsing.

And Opera continues to innovate. It had the small-screen rendering years before MiniMo. Opera v8 has built-in voice support. Expect that to creep into FF in a few years and be touted as the next big thing since sliced bread.

When FF v1.0 came out, I took a week off of Opera, and used FF exclusively, just to see what the fuss was all about. I couldn't wait to get back to Opera. FF feels sluggish and less polished, and some of the extensions aren't really well done. Switching between the different tabs (using Ctrl-Tab) is seriously broken. In Opera, the switching order depends on the visiting order of the tabs. So, the last tab you were looking at will be brought to the front when you press Ctrl-Tab. That is similar to Alt-Tab in Windows and KDE/Gnome to switch between windows. In FF, it always goes by tab creation order. So, if two tabs are far apart, I can't switch between them quickly.

As for the ads, on a 19" LCD they are so inconspicuous (if you set them to the Google text ads) that I never notice them anymore. See for yourself. I don't even notice them on my older 15" LCD. And, they are completely absent in Full Screen mode (press F11). Plus, if you are not a subscribed Slashdotter, you have no right to complain :-P

Now, FF is a great product. It's leaps and years ahead of IE and other browsers. But, I think Opera is the better product.

I'll probably be modded down as a Troll, but I don't care. I'm telling the truth.

The latest issue of PC Gamer (UK) has the results to a competition to design a PC case. Which design won? A Bender case of course!

I beg to differ.

3D boobs!
