the whole GUI paradigm -- if it isn't on some menu you cannot do it.
I think it should actually be the other way around... If you can do something, make sure it fits in one of the menus. That way, even if you didn't know about a certain functionality, you may get to know it (including its keyboard shortcut).
Of course, managing the menu so things aren't found in unexpected places it a bit more difficult. LibreOffice's menu navigation is a bit of a disaster there.
And yes, the ribbon in Office sucks. I think it's doing exactly the thing you complain about - if it isn't on some menu you cannot do it.
Your comment reminds me of the "episodic gaming" that the increasingly popular Telltale Games makes. Apparently, it's already been proven to be a formula that works.
20 hours still sounds reasonable to me. Most SNES-era RPGs were that long (unless you decided to 100% them). Especially if it's a fun, well-made game with replay value, 20 hours is acceptable for 50 bucks.

Considering how Gnome 3.2 is supposed to be "filling the gaps" as opposed to the matured Gnome 2, that might very well be the case!
How about: to be more intuitive in the first place? Having multiple windows was always such a bother, for several reasons.
How can a half of all the people be below average? That would lower the average to the point where they're actually average...

The keyboard shortcuts are almost always named in the application's menus. I'm not sure why you think nobody uses menus anymore, though.
Hey, someone else who uses them like that! You can actually remove them by sliding them off the side of the fridge.
man, less and htop use it as well. It's more of a terminal-based shortcut.
Ctrl+shift+V opens a menu for you where you can select paste without formatting. At least, in Libre/OpenOffice.
Let's not forget Alt+Tab... When I used it recently someone asked me what I just did. Kinda surprised me.
I learned the trick back in Windows 3.11, by someone pressing it for me, however, it would always bluescreen the computer.
Ctrl+V is paste in most non-terminal software.
Woo! + loot maybe?
Really? I've seen a few "Chrome version ... released" articles on /. ...
Let's hope bureaucracy won't be the exact cause for the aliens to decide to exterminate humankind.
Better than a game that's twice as long, and even more times as boring.

Now, going below that figure would be a problem.
Does anyone else thinks it looks like a pair of fingers running around? I mean, I can totally emulate the movement with my hand.
If you're trying to say Chrome breaks add-ons... I haven't seen it happen yet. Well, not ever since the extension API became stable, anyway.
I see. I did not realize that. Thanks for the info.
Um, no. That's not how the format goes. The kernel will be in 3.1.xx for quite a while from here on.
I thought "lands" was plural?
I'm looking forward to seeing all of these appear in Minecraft.
Watch out, that banana you're eating might just be radioactive! Oh, but wait, your body is radioactive, too!
What if the gamers are (actual) friends or family? I know I've unwillingly spammed someone with that crap...
But if you do that, you can't check those messages easily when you decide you want to, at some point. Now it's an entirely separate stream.
