I'm starting to wonder, Google's services have been finicky for me all day. I can barely use Reader, Voice won't work at all and even the usual search giant keeps telling me there's been an internal server error.
Anyone would be an utter moron, if he were to trust any single news source. An intelligent person will read as many different sources as he can find the time to read, and compare & evaluate what he reads.
Faux news exists for the convenience of the conservative utter morons.
Adding up all the available "news" sources still sums to a negative value, typically.
Well, at least it isn't something that's untreatable.
Come back when you find a correlation with herpes, because Herpesbook has a better ring that Syphilisbook. You can also turn it into Faceherpes, but Treponema pallidum can't really find a good place to live on the face.
Problem is, it only works with GTK applications, so Firefox is out.
Personally, my adventure's in Ubuntu have only become less irritating. The only breakages I've actually faced are when I played with alphas and some issues with my Wind on 9.10; camera stopped working, something else... nothing I was worried about. 10.4's apparently fixed all the troubles I had before.
Ubuntu would only show weakness in allowing proprietary drivers to determine their progress.
Fuck. That. Shit. A software developer's job is to deliver the best software possible to the end users, not to play bullshit political games with other developers.
I don't want my OS to be interesting, for fuck's sake. I want it very predictable and unobtrusive.
Here, here. Glad to see someone else who doesn't give a shit that an "OS be tightly integrated with/for social networking"? Why is staring at our electronic bellybuttons so frikkin' important??? Could we be more self-absorbed, here on Planet Hollywood? {grumble grumble... slinks back off to cave...}
Because in order of x sells from greatest to lowest, it is Sex, Vanity, then Convenience. Social Networking provides all three.
I gave it a shot but it was kind of a bitch. It didn't support my wireless card like Ubuntu has for the last 2 years, and that sort of means something these days.
Yeah, now to preempt EU misgivings it will have a randomly populated ballot box including a variety of open-source browsers that have little popularity, such as Edbrowse and Emacs/W3. This will give these poor, defenseless players in the browser wars a fair chance.
The focus for the new x.org is to provide new features such as the free drivers that ATI has failed to adequately support. Ubuntu would only show weakness in allowing proprietary drivers to determine their progress.
Both of these are pretty much show-stoppers, especially the ATI issue. Is a month long enough to sort out a problem this serious?
They've probably been planning around this longer than a month already. Anyways, as for ATI, x.org shouldn't have to plan around ATI's schedule, especially with their history of support.
I hope they fix it so it doesn't set that value every time the Ambiance theme is loaded, it appears it currently causes all themes to put all the controls at the left.
There's lots of reasons to keep the close buttons on the right by default and yet Mark can't come up with one reason to move them, just a lot of nonsense about "his plans" which he doesn't want to share.
I switched to Chrome because... well, I don't know. I'm just more comfortable with it in the short time I've used it.
The nice thing about Window Picker Applet is it always keeps the close button to the right edge, so if it's the last applet on the upper panel then I can always expect the close button to be in the upper-right corner.
Maximus removes the window decoration on maximized windows and maximizes all windows windows by default (with some exceptions). Chrome, when using the GTK theme and allowing the DE to manage the decorations nests quite nicely.
I also hid all the subdirectories in the gnome menu and left just the stuff I use in the root.
I grew up using computers, but lately I've been less serious about them. Ubuntu caught me somewhere in between and it just does me right.
Well, you see, there's this thing called the "Window List" which lets you easily switch between these windows that are maximized. Also alt tab. If I don't need to be looking at more than one window at a time, what's the point in running a program un-maximized?
You know, so you can watch your porn while you comment on/.
I really like what I see, but it is a little... counter-intuitive that they not only put the window controls on the left side of windows but put them in order of Maximize-Minimize-Close. No matter, I have everything maximized all the time anyways and on my Wind I've been using Maximus with Window-Picker-Applet.

Clearly the Constitution is past its prime. Don't listen to grandpa when he tells you things, Jimmy, he's senile.

I expect they'll be migrating the file menu up into that heathen upper taskbar within the next two releases or so, and hang the wasted screen space.
Well, they can already do that now...

The government should regulate anything that one person's actions directly affect another person's rights.
Your breathing is infringing on my right to breath the air I want.

Might as well lay down for Microsoft, then.

Does this mean it has a new default browser?

I think I disabled that somehow, fortunately.
Windows orders buttons minimize, maximize then close. Same as OS X but inverted.

Been using the beta since Saturday, and this thing with the buttons is incredibly annoying.
I don't mind the buttons on the left so much as the close button on the inside, really.

The new release also includes much better integration with social networking services such as Twitter, identi.ca and Facebook
Why should an operating system "integrate" with a social networking service?
Ever hear about that "Killer App" everyone's been looking for?

I guess he just got bit by the Steve Jobs bug.

It almost makes sense.

Son of a bitch, that's where my SuperEarth went!
