In linux, Xfce is the way to go. LXDE is getting there, but still klunky, IMO. Gnome and KDE started bloating with 'eye candy' long ago. I'm surprised he's stayed with them this long.
What say you to Mandelbrot's unheeded warnings? I've read some Black/Scholes and frankly I don't buy the 'benefit' outside the ones who are 'printing money' every day. How many disparities in markets can be exploited before the available resources become priced artificially high in all markets? This wealth does not materialize from thin air much like when recessions/depressions hit the money doesn't just disappear.
Have you looked at market prices lately? How did the Dow double in value in less than two years of a sour(to say the least) economy? Why are all commodity markets multiple factors higher than they were 2 years ago, 4 years ago, 8 years ago? Market fluctuations and environmental variables for the past 10 years have been extreme, yet prices for goods consistently 'beat the market'. Go ahead and deny absolutely, be a sophist, I expect nothing less.
Proprietary trading restrictions. Commodity prices across the board trending up 300%+ since early 2000's. Look at (m)any 20 year commodity graphs. It's curious global/political/natural 'disruptions' as well as China's voracious appetite were not as volatile prior to '99. Sure the dollar is weak, very much so, but is it 1/3 or 1/4 the value it was 10 years ago?
And all the ad servers and affiliates! Fecebook, Twatter, Google, Google Syndication, Google Analytics, the 3rd party adverts that malware peddlers crack regularly. Fuck that.
NS and Live Bookmarks is why I stayed through all the post 3.5 feature bloat. I could run any stripped browser in a sandbox, but what I can't find is a Live Bookmark equivalent...ie: just headlines, no pix, no diarrhea of the keyboard descriptions, no new windows, no muss. Just headlines to scan.
...until some event(end of quarter? system upgrade? full moon?) defaults you back to the profitable mode. Blatant and annoying, yes. I went around with Verizon from '02, to '07(mostly $5 'web access fee', I never texted or surfed via phone and still don't to this day). I have been off contract since '07 and haven't had a single over charge since. Hell, they didn't even charge me a late fee when I was over 10 days late a couple months back.I use bare minimum voice($45) and for my mobile data I use my N800 + hotspots. Imagine how many thousands of dollars of mine they could have had over the last 8 years if they didn't fuck with me out of the gate...
Yup. And I am re-instituting my check handling fees...what are they up to now, $6 to satisfy their clients instrument of debt? Wow, I wish I could double dip for all my services. Of course I would have to be psychotic and earnestly believe I am entitled to cheat my customers out of any cent I could grasp through wheedling, misrepresentation and/or manipulation.
Correction: Triple dip: account fees, gains from account balance leveraging and check processing fee. God Bless America, Land of The Fee!
NT>2000>XP>Vista>7>8 = NTFS + Eye Candy and new iterations of poor security. Oh, and that bloat, bloat, bloating winsxs folder that's over 12GB in 4 months. What happened to WinFS?
Windows 98 is looking pretty advantageous these days...kernelex
Aaaaand.... there's more to this great revelation, right?
Anyone ever heard of an aquarium? They are transparent vessels that hold water with the intent of providing habitation for domestic fishes. One of the benefits operating one is you can observe fish building nests out of gravel, plants and stones, interacting with other fishes and, oh my yes, even beating a crayfish on a rock so it will desist pinching the fish's nose. I guess I should have taken a picture and gotten on/. front page.
too many opportunities to exploit societal systems for unearned gains
This, I believe, is the most prominent symbol of our decline. An organism that lives off itself will weaken and die.
PS: you must have not looked for a job in recent years. The current trend in the US HR offices is 'more work, for less pay'. I am looking at jobs that I performed 20 years ago that pay multiple dollars less than they did in the early '90s. Stagflation is not a dirty word, why can't they say it on the news?.
So I'm guessing protest hacking is now a terrorism on a par with suicide bombers.
Don't you see???? These evil-doers are much more terrifying! They did not cost the Mega Corps mere human lives, they inflicted the most vile, immoral crime of all: LOSSES$$$$$
Who the hell is Joe Herring and why should I trust anything he writes?
He's Red Herring's half-wit brother. Half-truths, intentional misrepresentation and blame game is the path to success in our wonderful society. Haven't you heard? You too could be a billionaire, embrace your inner psychotic.

We must gobble it up and hoard as much as soon as possible! We don't know what we'll do with it all we just know we need more. HURRY!

With radius you're limited by the curved arc, but square covers the corners too! Think of the tangents!

In other words -- what a company's spokesperson says about the success or failure of something like a DRM system is meaningless.
No truer words have been typed on /.
'DRM system' could be substituted infinitely and still hold true.
Another 'special' day, oh joy. I like how every day is special anymore. Mom assures me I'm special, too
Tomorrow is 'Cat Walkers' Day! Grab a leash it's gonna be special!

Brave, brave Concorde! You shall not have died in vain!
I'm holding out for 11. Hopefully they follow the ST timeline and reboot the franchise.
I read "Strange Matters: Undiscovered Ideas at the Frontiers of Space and Time" recently. Great read, almost too technical for this layman. I find it amazing that the long-scrutinized theories in the book are being proven(disproved) right now as I type. Amazing times we live in.
Ahem... FISA was not nominated. Considering all of the ex post facto absolution, it should get honorary mention.
The Gramm Leach Bliley Act which gutted the market protections put in place after the last great heist, er...depression, gets my vote as "Worst Ever".

One may be an open/source slang suggester to make the poster seem more Boss, L337 and internetz savvy!

TL;DR: stop giving them your money!
tell that to my malware scanners...

'Outcast' implies 'cast out'. A geek may very well be 'out' by choice. Knowledge can be a heavy burden to bear.
If it is proven that these scanners are dangerous and must be removed, what will fill the 'fear theater' void?
I first imagined, "Body Cavity Checks For All!", but that != profit for Chertoff, et al. Maybe they'll do it for shits & giggles, anyway...

If people want, or allow themselves, to be shepherded and corralled, I guess there's no stopping progress.
