Some of theses events are really troublesome and should be adressed, but a couple of them are related to people trying to use ubuntu as if it were Windows. If you gave them OSX the outcome should be on the same spirit
Ditch gnome. Lubuntu, Xubuntu or Linux Mint offer alternatives (xfce and lxde) that follow the old desktop paradigm. You have options. Some people like the direction ubuntu is going...
If you are not one of those happy with ubuntu, just look elswere for the thing that makes you click. This is not intended to be a troll post. I trully believe that diversity is a strenght and in this sense, ubuntu is contributing a lot. Maybe just it's not for you.
I had the same thought myself. Those icons should be out of my way most of the time but maybe it's dangerous to put them close to scrollbars at the right edge of windows. An old school applications menu or even a bottom-of-the-screen dock (which is one of the reasons I don't like Macs) seems a better solution to me.
There is an option that sets the bar to be shown only if you get the mouse pointer at the ubuntu logo (top left). Its way better than the default option (show if the mouse hits any part of the left edge). To people hwo don't know unity, the default option is more dicoverable, but if you already know that the bar exists, I advice you to change this behavior
Of course, I don't disagree with you about this not being innovative, but still is important
Sometimes good ideas came on bad moments. Apple proved that the tablet concept was workable. It made people (not geeks) look for this kind of hardware, put it on the map.
Some of the old ideas should be tried again, because they really got a second chance
Wrong. Cellphone will get larger and thiker and you will dock them on your tablet, wich will get thinner and lighter, wich you will dock on your netbook, wich will get thicker and heavier and you will... oh crap. I lost myself
I've been thinking about this and came to a conclusion: it has less buttons. Normal people don't like buttons. An Ipad has 105 less buttons than a computer, so it should sell like icecream on a summer day
30 bucks for a freakin connector?! A couple of wires and metal!? So two of these costs the same as a game that took millions of dollars to produce and thousands of man-hours of code. Measly, for sure
So I have to ask something about usability. My Windows is usefull only if I have an AntiVirus running all the time. Was the benchmark testing a Windows that runs, let say, Notron AntiVirus?
Actually, the data acquisition is not fast. Maybe something like 5gb per day is usual. But this go on for months and ends up as a huge dataset.
After the data was gathered the problem arises when the processing starts. This is the sensitive, number intensive part and the industry is starting to do it in Java!
Slashdot Mirror
Did you run all the available updates? I got beta 2 on the first day and it already had a ton of updates that polished a lot of rough edges

Same tought. Plus the "if I disagree with their design decisions they have to suck because I'm all that"

For those unaware, lubuntu runs blackbox. Its fast, *really* fast! ;-) They are trying to push the project into oficial recognition
It was already a clusterfuck back on 10.10, when you got a usual gnome 2 UI. At least in my experience...

CTRL+ALT+T. Why do people insists in using the mouse when they ask for speed and simplicity?!
Then, during credits you see a little evil message:
This movie came as a warning. Today we fixed the problem. Who knows if we are gonna be able to do it next time?
FTP should be dropped, for sure. Your username and password goes clean and unprotected throught the tubes
Like Waybuntu
And they were Lucas idea, of course.
Is it true? Can't find any news on internet about it.
MMM The guy was talking about comunity participation on the language evolution, not comunity adoption

So your cup is half empty heh!?
Not yet, but rummors say that Ubuntu is triyng to get there. If gnome helps, maybe someday

Lame? No. Overhiped. Yes. At least IMHO

"50 ISPs Harbor Half of All Machines"
Even so, the impact is huge on netbooks. At least it was on my dell mini9 (winXp)
