No, Pulseaudio is actually bad. When no one can seem to configure it properly, it's fair to place blame where it belongs, and I have yet to see a system with Pulseaudio installed on it, that did not have a bunch of weird issues with audio.
And what if I want to use superior programs than the KDE programs? It should be about choice, not what the KDE team feels I should be using. gvfs is open source, I'm not sure why they don't just use it.
“This is not an administration proposal," White House spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said. "This is not a bill supported by the administration. This was an early working draft proposal that was never formally circulated within the administration, does not taken into account the advice of the president’s senior advisers, economic team or Cabinet officials, and does not represent the views of the president.”
Speaking of reading, you probably should have RTFA... Interesting that you immediately blame the customer, who had paid for the PC in full. Not to mention the spyware (literally) they had on the machine.
Yeah well let us know when touch screen monitors are the norm, because right now a touch screen UI doesn't belong on a desktop PC that uses a mouse for input.
When it comes to valuable data, nothing beats a local hard drive, and nothing will ever beat that. The Cloud is great for sharing photos or game saves, but I don't see a future where we all do our computing "in the cloud".
Hey goofball, a bunch of those trillions were racked up during George Bush's term, most of it from trying to catch this guy, while giving tax cuts to his buddies.
I'm not sure what the big distinction is. Couldn't it be said that OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD are just different distributions of BSD? I mean, yeah Slack and Ubuntu are Linux distributions, but as operating systems they have major differences as well.
slackpkg update - refreshes your mirror
slackpkg install-new - installs any packages officially added to the core
slackpkg upgrade-all - updates packages with updates (bug fixes and security updates)
And yet Slackware is still relevant regardless of what you just declared. The fact of the matter is that Slackware isn't for you non-geek users, so just be happy with Ubuntu.
I tried Gnome 3 for less than a day before completely removing Gnome from my system and putting Xfce4 on there. It seems to be the only sane desktop environment left.
With Gnome, you have a perfectly working desktop with version 2, which they are now completely throwing away for their UI that looks like it was made for a tablet, and with KDE you have 100,000 settings to tweak, which all seem to conflict with each other, and it still can't do something simple like auto-mount a network share on the fly.
I have a copy of Halo for X-box. It pre-dates the app store. Right on the front of the box it says: "The killer app for X-Box!". That's just an example using an item I am looking at in this room. Give me time and I'll have a mountain of examples.

A pacemaker powered by the blood it pumps. by golly, I think we found a perpetual motion machine!
Synergy is truly great. Seamless interface between Linux and Windows 7 complete with copy/paste. I love it.
I refuse to read this article, as it does not fit in to my preconceived notions.
Amazon Kindle a failure? There is a difference between vintage prototypes, and failures...

Saying "Google does it too!", doesn't make it right.
I wonder if Dolphin can auto-mount samba shares yet. Even Thunar does that these days.

Not quite the same as the summary...

Oh so you can prove that Manning leaked that info?
I'm not sure who decided that we needed Cell Phone UI's on our desktops, but I'd like to slap the person(s).
For me personally, Xfce4 is the only sane desktop solution left.

They already are.
And you're aware that Obama put the focus back on Bin Laden after the Republicans decided to go invade Iraq, before the job was done, right?

When I can download Apple's OS for free, and put it on any hardware I want to, we'll talk.
If you can't be bothered to see what updates you're getting, just stick with Ubuntu.
No because slackpkg takes care of it.

slackpkg install-new - installs any packages officially added to the core

That man wasn't wise, just a dick.
