When do you ever want to bookmark/back/forward/view-source/bookmarklet-hack a native app? And, it's been a while since I've been on Windows, but here on Linux/GTK, most text of size is selectable (the little labels aren't, but I've never really wanted to). If your DPI/font size settings are configured, every program's text should be nicely legible.
Fucking AC troll, but honestly one of the best points I've seen on this page. What the hell did you expect? Three quarters screaming "Linux! Linux!" and one quarter screaming "Windows! Windows!". As it always is. Haven't we seen this question before?
Where do you live? I'm in upstate New York, and nobody would be surprised here to see someone working on his car. I can't imagine someone here coming over to bitch at you for welding.
Just no. People are only human. They make mistakes (yes, bad decisions can be considered 'mistakes'). Driving is one of the most dangerous things we do every day, but we still choose to do it. When I get in my car and drive on the highway, I'm putting people in danger. I could be distracted at exactly the right moment and miss a deer that walked out, or I could have forgotten to replace my tires and have a blowout, etc. Now, I'm usually a very safe driver, but shit happens. When I get on the road, I accept that other people are causing me danger, and they accept that I am causing them danger. If you don't accept this, don't drive. There's no way to make it 100% safe, and monitoring people with a camera while they are in their own cars to make sure they don't fuck up is not acceptable. Just don't cause excessive amounts of danger.
I do drive a large pick-up regularly, and trust me, it is easy to keep it in my lane. It's very telling to see how scared of it most drivers are when they encounter it on a narrow road - obviously they're not used to seeing one in the right place on the road.
Ah, thank you. Didn't know about that. Still doesn't explain why I can't just put a (whitelisted) Unicode character into the text box though... It reads the UTF-8 as ASCII.
Don't know, but there's U+2763 "Heavy Heart Exclamation Mark Ornament".
Tried to type it, but the/. comment system still doesn't take Unicode... In 2011.... It wouldn't accept the HTML code for it either. Stripped it right out.
This looks like something some stereotypical nerd in a movie would use, just so the writers could make fun of nerds. It's extremely tacky. Would anyone actually buy this?? I've a 17" laptop and it's already pretty unwieldy at times. I just plug it into my monitor with an HDMI cable at home when I want more space...
"like vim/emacs, you never stop learning how to use it" - That's for sure. It's the main reason I love mutt. You do get in the habit of using it, though - I've sent a couple emails with other programs with ":wq[enter]y" in them...
I can never find the documentation for setting it up with SSL-encrypted IMAP (for gmail). That's why it's a pain for me to set up. I keep my muttrc backed up now
I saw that once before, and if I remember correctly, I said aloud, "That's fucking cool!" Really, that thing is amazing. I like that it actually runs Minix. Probably the most complete "homebrew computer" I have ever seen.
Sir, I know you're trying to be polite, but you shouldn't hold back so. It is imperative that we right the incorrect whenever we see them on the Internet, or else the Internet might be (gasp!) wrong! Ugh... the very thought makes me shudder.

As for desktop UI apps, the future is HTML5.
I think I speak for most here when I say this:
Oh gods no, please no, no no no no, never!
Nah, I don't live in that part of upstate New York... :-)

I don't usually comment on language errors at all, but... "litterly"? Seriously?

Douche? Way to go with the ad hominem attack.

I can't tell if you're trolling, or just a hypocrite. I suppose you could always be both.

Everything else crashes,
I use Mutt. It's never crashed for me.
locks up,
I use Mutt. It's never locked up for me.
and doesn't set up as easy.
I use... ah hell, carry on. I would probably crash if I lost my muttrc...
Your kid's netbook isn't going to cough up goatse, lemonparty, tubgirl, 2girls1cup, mr hands, etc via a random click.
Yeah, until someone puts up a machine serving one of them, configured to answer to any (or no) name. You can make a link to an IP address.
I mean they don't mind that I use it. They don't tell me it sounds stuffy.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what everything after your second sentence means. What?
Since when? I've always used it. It's as natural to me as he/him, likewise with many people I know, and nobody has ever had a problem with that.
Three out of your last six posts were self-promotion. Go away.
I saw that once before, and if I remember correctly, I said aloud, "That's fucking cool!" Really, that thing is amazing. I like that it actually runs Minix. Probably the most complete "homebrew computer" I have ever seen.
I'm not sure what kind of idiot couldn't figure out what "lift" means. I see you managed.
Knowing which questions to ask is a giant step towards knowing the answers.

Would you mind drawing the line between "internal" and "external"?
Sure. Does it result in a system call?
I think it would probably be easier to just set the UID to 1000 in Fedora (the installer gives the option, IIRC).
Have you ever noticed how different people care about different things? Yeah... this is one of those cases.
