  1. Re:Obligatory XKCD on Kernel 2.6.31 To Speed Up Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Then why the hell does 2k7 bork itself on apt-get update && apt-get upgrade? The repos have gone to shit as well. Can install anything but FF 2.0 final, I'm forced to run PortableApps FF in WINE for security reasons, though my dad uses it most of the time.

    You think I got anything from there to stick? Dude, I'm in high school, I do cool and frigin crazy shit, but I can only deal with differentials and trigonometry, and can more or less understand Lisp and Haskell if that counts, but juggling numbers is not why I got into this.

    Try getting some real baggie pajamas and no underwear underneath. Pretty much the same effect.

  5. Re:FIXME: on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    Didn't I say that I use firefox? Most of the things people complain about are a matter of taste, and it's configurable, though not as easy as many, myself included, would like. Tough I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Opera team, and hope they continue the good, if not widely appreciated.

    Game studios' release strategies are beside the point.

    Well, Opera isn't *any* browser, I agree, though I'm an avid FF user for years.

  8. Re:Why transparency? on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    I hate spinners, but what is people's problem with under-chassis lighting? And transparency, for that matter?

    When you call method from a class *cough*Reload*cough*, it's called from within the object, and not the whole class. All tabs inherit from the browser class, but the methods called within them are distinct, and should be visually so.

    Esc, Ctrl+R, and Enter are still there. Use them, Luke, use the key combos!
    Jokes aside, why does everything have to be on-screen, the whole fsc&(*^&king manual included, ala M$ Bob? It's fraking annoying and cluttered. These are so headbanging basic that they shouldn't even exist as buttons! Whats next? A right mouse click button next to Stop?

    I didn't. Care to explain to us non-math-endowed physicists?

  12. Re:Nice but.. on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    Anything but the dumbest "database frontend"style app should use its own unique interface suited for the task at hand. Chrome rules because it is centered at the task at hand - browsing. the only people who regularly use the menus are power users who know the key combos by heart. And all those File/Edit/etc. menus are usually littered with pointless entries, just for the sake of existing. That's retarded.

    Any takers to add GPGPU support to Solaris and/or *BSD to offload the XORs? That ought to bust the hardware RAID market wide open.

    Gahhh, they should just dump the whole thing in a database, set up a RO account, publish the schema, and be done with it. There are plenty of people who would love to do a web frontend.

    Make 'em short requests then. Who gives a fuck about overhead? They forced us to do this. BTW, is there an upstream equivalent of mod_gzip? Compression may cut down on overhead (so that my stuff runs faster, of course), and make DPI barf.
