You're a dumbass troll. Fedora is the testbed for RedHat. By definition, they have faster, less tested releases. What would be the use of waiting for a fully tested release? Then they'd be no different than RedHat itself.
And yes, we are product testing. We're quite aware of that fact. Why do you think that OSS projects have public bug databases?
I guess this makes me a dumbass for responding to such a blatant troll./me turns my troll filter up another notch.
No offense, but this seems like just cleaning up what's already there. I think the idea was to come up with the *next* idea in user interfaces. It struck me as sort of a brainstorming session.
I've actually done that for the secretaries. It worked pretty well, except there were a handful of dialogs that weren't managed. So you did still have to run a window manager, although nothing fancy.
Which is why I referred to it as a proper name, yeah? (I'm typing on a Gentoo box right now, btw) Regardless of which, it's wrong. You don't refer to all small cars as Sentras, do you?
When Gentoo's been around as long as Kleenex, then you can make the argument that it's a genericized trademark.
You could just as well say, "I use the term night to refer to the period between morning and evening" or, "I use the term black to refer to the color with the code #ffffff."
Trying to redefine words, especially proper names, to make it look like you knew what you were talking about only makes you appear more foolish. Just be a man and admit that you have no clue wtf you are talking about.
Now that I'm at work on a Windows machine, they've chosen a format that I can't use. Why not just use f'ing mpeg?
So I was browsing microsoft.com and they had this video I wanted to see. But I'm on my Linux machine and they've chosen to use WMV, a format that I can't use*. Why can't those cockbags just use f'ing mpeg?
* Artistic license. MPlayer plays wmv files just fine. Of course, it does this in a semi-legal way by using windows codecs themselves.
I'd assume that he's talking about Nautilus. More specifically, he's probably talking about using Nautilus to view his porn folder. In 2001, it was dog slow when generating previews of a large folder. KDE would snap right open and was usable in a few seconds. Nautilus would take minutes to generate all the previews and respond again. Even on current (for the time) systems.
The idea of GNU started with a printer driver. Linux started entirely independently as a terminal emulator. Get your facts straight before you poke fun.;)
Let me remind you of your statement which I am answering: grepping for obvious things such as "rmdir" or "unlink" etc... at least I have this option. With a binary I don't.
How do you think security wizards figure out what a virus is doing? A crystal ball?
Um yes. This is how Debian installers work, yes. You do know that apt can install packages from the installer CD, right?
Of course you did. I'm reminded of the line paraphrased from The Magician's Nephew: "The problem with people trying to convince themselves that they are stupid is that they so often succeed."
- He's a linux power-user complaining that Windows != Linux.
This is kind of the point. This is humour. Most of the "reviews" we see are exactly that... "Linux sucks because it's not just like windows!" with windows weenies coming out of the woodwork to poke fun at us when we complain that the reviews aren't fair.
One of my complaints is why do you have to specify --enable-gui (gui is disabled by default) for a program that offers custom skins and fonts. It's not hard to specify --enable-gui, but it still doesn't make sense.
Personally, I think that putting a gui on MPlayer is silly. I don't want to look at MPlayer. I want to look at the movie I'm watching!

Well done proposal though.

Would that not be an inefficiency or unfullfilled niche?
He was the smartest guy who ever lived
No offense to you, but what evidence do you have that Jesus was smart at all, much less "the smartest guy who ever lived?"
"Portage" is Gentoo's package management system.

WTF?
Do you have any idea what portage is? I'll give you a big hint. Fedora doesn't have it. Neither does Ubuntu.
$ find /etc/ | grep gnome | wc -l

And what the hell does that prove?
What we need is a concerted effort from our worldwide developers to create better interoperability with Microsoft's Active Directory structure ...
No thanks.

GNU/Linux - a printer driver gone horribly wrong
;)
The idea of GNU started with a printer driver. Linux started entirely independently as a terminal emulator. Get your facts straight before you poke fun.
It could be worse. He could be stupid -and- inconsistent.
dunno. I emailed them and told them that I wouldn't bother watching it until it's made available via a less retarded method.

Please stop talking since you're getting more and more off topic.

And how does this explain the parent wrong? It appears to me that the parent loosely described pretty much the same thing.
Why the hell would an open source game be copied and passed around on the p2p networks?

To each his own.
Caldera (now SCO) did the tetris game. Corel did the "4-click" installer.
Ahem. By "http" do you mean "URL"?
