I think this requires a Special and Relative Theory of Worditivity because "I'm sorry," means less to me than, "I am so very sorry," but the relationship changes as the apology increases in size.
You are correct. I can find a bunch of small glitches. There is not an operating system on this planet that does not have a bunch of small glitches with its implementation of a desktop. But Unity and Gnome 3.0 seems to have some large ones that greatly affect me in a personal way and have such influenced my personal choice.
But I think you are either riding my coat tails to point out a personal vendetta or missed the point entirely.
I changed because of the "let's try this" attitude of Ubuntu. The reason I use Linux is a professional one. And as such I cannot change my display manager or office suite or SQL service et cetera on a whim. Ubuntu has gotten too into trying to be bleeding edge instead of focusing on the "just works" mentality. Debian moves much slower and allows significant time and options when implementing software transitions. Meanwhile, it has caught up on the whole 802.11 thing and now seems to "just work" no matter what I put it on. When previously, my personal pain point was wifi stability came at a cost of significant hours spent configuring it.
I am a computing professional, not a professional using a computer. Everything for me is "where can I get the best deal on a time/dollar trade off?" And for me, that happens to be using a Linux OS (and Debian for the time being).
I had already moved off Ubuntu and back to Debian. That whole switch to Unity kinda irked me. So I did something about, and now I am back in trusty 'ole Gnome Classic.
And no, I'm not afraid of or against change. I actually really like the new version of Gnome and was getting used to Unity. But I use my computers for work day in and day out. And neither of those desktops are near stable enough for what I do. Both frequently become unresponsive and leave me unable to navigate apps. Then I have to go into a console with alt+f(x) and kill the display manager or log out and back in. Which doesn't look good to executives when you are attempting to demonstrate new products.
And yes, I am more than competent enought to install Gnome Classic in Ubuntu. But the only reason I ever switched to Ubuntu was for the quick and dirty wireless support. With Wheezy, all my wireless woes seem to have past and I'm not constantly burdened by a "let's try this" mentality. My desktop "just works" again. Heh, kinda funny I switched to the core distribution from Ubuntu so the thing would "just work".
and I tend to use/usr/bin/minicom. Some of the guys at work prefer/usr/bin/screen.
Both have huge followings and have been around a long time. Screen sounds like it may do what you want easiest.
But neither of these are going to work for the power management aspect. I think you may find you will need to use your custom scripts for that with most solutions.
You not having written code in 12 years makes me second this suggestion. Matlab is in wide use in universities and research facilities around the world.
Remember you care about the result not the code. Matlab will take advantage of your system in ways that you only could had you been programming the past 12 years and not needed to ask this question.
but if you do, allow me to use the old, useful site. I mean if I wanted to visit Digg I would roll over and die.
Puns and jabs aside... Thanks for trying, but isn't the addage, "If it ain't broke don't fix it"? This simply feels like a developer got bored and tried to justify their existence. In fact, it seems that by adding all the unnecessary crap, the new site takes away what I love about/. The site used to care more about content and relevancy than shiny break your browser markup and photographs.
So while it is true that everything changes, rember that everything dies too.
Me thinks those who comment that you are missing something are missing your point. Please, allow me to be the insensitive clod with Aspergers.
"I keep seeing in nature that when something goes out-of-balance, there is a natural response to bring it back?" Just like the weather, people are natural. As synthetic as we pretend to be, we are a part of nature. This will balance itself out even if the collective "we" must perish. And then other species will take over or life will end on our little blue dot. However, the forces behind it will not; that is a fact. (And depending upon your perception of time this may happen over and over again. Thanks Nietzsche for reminding us.)
You cannot have life without death, as you cannot have a beginning without an end. But a perfect circle does not have a beginning, nor does it exist. Those who are selfishly worried that mankind will die fail to ask, "what could evolve to be greater than man if others had dominion?" Or they fail to fully acknowledge the consequences to placing a label of "beginning" on a concept as perfectly abstract as time.
Where can you even find prescription drugs online without a prescription? Sure there are a bunch of sites that claim they are legit. But yeah, try spending some money with them. What are you going to do when the package doesn't arrive? Call the cops? And there are a few where you may get a delivery, but they are few and far between (very few if they still exist). I think what works better in preventing people from buying prescription drugs online without a script is to let them spend some money. When nothing comes in return they will see their neighborhood drug dealer (read: doctor) or another shady character that works on a corner.
Drugs are one of the most profitable industries in the world. Neither the healthcare system nor crime orginizations would let a new economy take their share without blood.
Could 93 882 mean 8/23, with 88 meaning something else? On 9/12/02 the first set was 62 691; see the pattern? 4th digit/5th digit-1st digit
I am not saying that is what it is, but there is a pattern. The only thing is, on Dec 24, 97 we get 18 008. Gibberish to confound us? or refering to another date? October 81 maybe? Lol.
I second that. I think that it also could actually be affecting some peoples work. If not yours, it could be affecting another programmer's work. And who is to say that you are qualified enough to find another job now. You may or may not be good at what you do. But if you take some people's advice and leave because you are a prima donna, be ready to fight for another job. Take one for the team. Give your boss a break It sounds like he maybe catching flak from the uppers.
I second that motion. If you still have issues, you can set up shares by IP address and leave a nice little shortcut on your end-loser's desktop. "\\IP\share" should go in the location part of the shortcut (for Major$haft losers).
