  1. Re:This is why Ubuntu has stability problems on Preview of Ubuntu's Unity Interface · · Score: 1

    Pulseaudio gave me some flak after the transition to 13, but I just ripped it out several times until I got it right, and everything was fine and dandy. And I still got some horizontal line shift noise on display when running the system a little bit harder, but I otherwise love it, considering Ubuntu couldn't find it's own damn boot files, and didn't seem to persist boot conf changes (yes, I was am a GRUB2 n00b, but it's a fucking bootloader, not a whole damn OS).

    Phonon is a layer up, and is the by default with KDE.

  7. Re:The most surprising turn of events on Free IPv4 Pool Now Down To Seven /8s · · Score: 1

    A decently set up NAT requires only client side srv record support and DHCP, easily wrapped up by a library or socket abstraction.

    Would you like to pay for the hardware upgrade?

  9. Re:The most surprising turn of events on Free IPv4 Pool Now Down To Seven /8s · · Score: 1

    Actually, DHCP PNAT with UPnP queries and SRV records, DNS side, with appropriate client support would duplicate this functionality. None of that is an isssue - except client side support at OSI L6. A socket encaplsulation similar to SSL for this sort of abstraction might be useful.

    I wonder if anyone has considered using Qt as the OS API.

    I agree. Not to put it the wrong way, usually my friends (a lot of them programmers) tell me - if only you had a team of programmers. FWIW, I realize I'm completely useless without such a team. Thing is, people with even a trace of ability are washed out by '90s era "enterprising types".

    Dude, take a chill pill. Don't bring the whole OS stack in the discussion. AAAnd, most of the reason GNOME is widely used, is historical inertia - due to licensing issues - not any specific KDE fault the can't be fixed by the distributor.
