Yeah, that's because its meant to be your photo workflow manager not just an edit one image program. When you use it to import your photos from the beginning it actually fills the role quite nicely.
And to add to my previous reply, this stymies adoption rates. I know when choosing between vendors, if I can trust their release numbers and labelling, it makes MY life a lot easier and goes in the MAJOR plus column in the cost/benefit ratio. If I can trust you, I don't have to test as thoroughly when you hand me something stable. If I can't, I have to scrutinize every little point release and go to fine grained detail to avoid breakage.
Which is exactly why there should be ALPHA_XX, BETA_XX and PROD labels. We use them for our releases, and they tell my customers what to expect. Alpha means I'm developing functionality and you should only use it to test what I'm giving you, not to support your testing. Beta means that I want you to exercise this and it should be looked at as feature complete but there will be bugs, Prod means that we've tested all spec'd functionality to the level of confidence required by our customers.
Open source apps (and I'm a F/LOSS advocate) tend to have devs that treat their users like crap when it comes to this type of simple to implement, easy communication. I shouldn't have to dig into your dev or user mailing list to determine if I should pick up a version. That's what labels are FOR.
Except that you can't really label major API and design changes as a point release. It SHOULD have been 4.0_ALPHA_01, 4.0_BETA_01, and 4.0_PROD coming soon.
1. I have a Blackberry. I get emails constantly, I listen to Pandora streaming radio fairly constantly, browse the web on content rich sites (youtube, etc) during downtime and compiling time.
2. When you "officially" tether through Verizon's service, it runs the meter on the 5 GB cap. On Android when you tether using a hack it looks just like data going across the network. It is verizon's tether app itself that runs the meter. So yes, tethered data is capped, surfing web and using data connection from phone and apps (ie 3rd party tethering app) isn't.
3. Not sure, I don't tether, I just know that its capped since the plan clearly states its capped. I also know that data usage from the phone itself isn't because I use more than 5 GB a month and don't get charged/throttled/cutoff.
4. Exactly my point, its VERIZON's tethering app that runs the meter, so if you use a different one (and don't get caught) you have no meter.
Alright eldavo, here you go: DRM does nothing to combat piracy and only inconveniences legitimate consumers who have duly paid to use said content. Look at Blu-Ray, look at DVD's, look at SecuROM, look at DirecTV, look at TiVo, every single one of these schemes have been broken open by "pirates" who produce more convenient to use products than the locked down "legitimate" versions.
DRM is simply a waste of money, resources, time, and it insults legitimate consumers who are willing to pay and does absolutely nothing to deter copying and piracy, in fact, for some, it only encourages it as its seen as a challenge.
The data plan is, in fact, unlimited. I go over 5 GB a month on my current Verizon phone regularly. This is no different. Tethering specifically has a 5 GB limit which is stated in the contract for it. There are also readily available hacks to make tethering work on an Android phone.
Yep, the nicely shrinkwrapped license that you have no recourse to do anything but agree to since its not interactive that informs you that "This copy is licensed for private non-commercial exhibition only"... right, I remember that being printed on my rece.. nope.. must have been mentioned by the salesma.. nope.. I guess I must have signed a contract.... nope.. hmm how did they license this to me exactly?
That would be AT&T ladies and gentlemen. I could also go with MTCO a local competitor if I was interested in having a home phone line, but I'm not, so AT&T is the only option for dry-loop DSL.
Might I be the first to give a gigantic "Whoosh!" in Comcast's general direction. I cut that cord a few years ago and with the help of MythTV, Boxee, Hauppage, Turtle Beach, Netflix, and Xbox Live have never looked back for a second.
if the sound setup is done so well? There are four or five different conflicting threads for how to make stuff work... seems pretty clear. Also seems pretty clear cut that they rolled out a half baked sound setup in a LTS release. That's the main issue that did it for me.
My whole point is them monetizing through SPYWARE. I understand you don't enter a cc #, that doesn't mean they aren't tracking and selling user info.
Your sound system response is prototypical of the exact problem. "Works for me".. do you have every possible configuration of sound card? Do you use Ubuntu to output a optical spdif signal to your home theater? The devs having exactly that attitude is why Ubuntu as a distro has moved into the crap pile in my house.
Yeah, great, except you're wrong. The "LTS" version of Ubuntu was the worst version I used (was a user since 7.04) and drove me to seek out another distro. I landed on Fedora, which has great development environment support (Eclipse packages), working sound (sorry, until I hacked and hacked the sound setup on Mythbuntu 8.04 didn't work right, nor did stock Ubuntu 8.04), and a general overall polish and QA that Ubuntu lacks. Everything worked well out of the box with no tweaking, no howto's, no saying "well its almost right", it was refreshing.
Ubuntu has shown its true colors as wanting to monetize with BS add-ons that shove crapware down users throats. From Multisearch in Firefox to their built in "monitoring" software to use their third party pay for play site. Thanks Canonical, but it leaves a bad taste. I'll deal with RedHat who is upfront about a paid version and a community version. I'm well aware where the money to run the company comes from at least.
And this is the major problem with the series really, idiot fans who will read whatever pages he wiped his ass with regardless of their content or quality... listen to yourself, its horribly edited, rambling, but I'll DEFINITELY read it. They know they can put out crap and you somehow feel you've put too much into it to turn back. Sounds like a great reason to write 30 more books to me.
Sorry, but the root partition must be formatted even when doing it manually. Please try again and layout your partitions with a separate/home to begin with. This is the reason partitions exist.

+1, I'm to used to dealing with integrators as my customers that I forget the end user view of it sometimes.

Modem != phone
Smart phone plans are different to their wireless modem plans. Smart phone plans are unlimited usage from the phone.

Yet I still get 5 Mbps down no matter the time of day or night, can Cable Modem subscribers say that about their "20 Mbps" lines?
So I shouldn't be happy to be giving them $50 a month instead of $140?
Nope, AT&T doesn't throttle, since I have my own dedicated bandwidth. This is why cable modems are for suckers. DSL == my own bandwidth.
That would be AT&T ladies and gentlemen. I could also go with MTCO a local competitor if I was interested in having a home phone line, but I'm not, so AT&T is the only option for dry-loop DSL.

So why do you think this means you can't use Gnome as a DE? KDE apps work just fine installed with their dependencies and run under Gnome.
Why are you the only person who ever trolls on here for KDE4? It must suck pretty badly.
