Shuttleworth Proposes Overhaul of Desktop Notifications
Thelasko writes "Mark Shuttleworth is considering a controversial overhaul to the way Ubuntu manages notifications." I'm not thrilled with all of the changes proposed, which would mostly value simplicity over confusion at the expense of flexibility and permanence. But anything that would make more people read over and specifically approve the wording of error messages and other notifications is a good thing.
"tail -f" is all the notification you need.
I mean, what if the notification is an IM from your lover "hey sweetie, meet at the usual spot at 5:30" and your spouse walks in the room?
If that happens then you're an asshole who just got what he deserved - a divorce, child support, and probably a breakup with your adulterous slutfriend.
That preacher guy that's causing all the controversy about Obama says that divorce is a greater threat to marriege than gay marriage, but he's wrong. The biggest threat to marriage isn't gay marriage or divorce, but adultery and your incredibly stupid attitude toward it.
As the former spouse of a slut who had several affairs during our marriage, please forgive me for thinking you're an absolutely disgusting asshole, and please forgive me for hoping you get taken to the cleaners by your poor spouse (who has my deepest sympathies, I was where (s)he is now, poor thing)

What we really need to do as a culture is to separate legal marriage, religious marriage and "romantic" marriage from the umbrella heading of "marriage".
So I'm assuming you're posting AC so as to not undo the "troll" mod you just placed? I heve never in my life experioenced any pain anywhere ner as severe as my ex-wife's adultyery, and I've gone through a headon auto wreck, and when I was 7 I broke both my arms.
None of that was near the pain of the heartbreak. If you've never had a spouse step out on you, you have no idea how painful it is. I let her go because I couldn't stand the pain anymore.
I did get professional help after she left the last time - and note that she didn't just leave me, but our then-teenaged daughters as well. The shrink diagnosed "adjustment disorder with depressed mood" and prescribed Paxil, which I was on for a year and a half (where "The Paxil Diaries" came from).
Other then the adjustment disorder, which is a temporary condition brought on by the kind of thing I was going through, I was pronounced perfectly healthy. I've since started drinking a bit, but then again I haven't had a drink since Friday, haven't wanted one.
Nice troll BTW. PS - I'm offtopic but the AC hatefully responding is insightful? WTF??????????
