  7. Why Is This a Bad Thing? on The GIMP Now Has a Working Single-Window Mode · · Score: 1

    I do not understand the all the negativity behind the single-window mode, especially when it is an optional component and is not "forced upon" users without an alternative, save for using an older version for as long as it works and is maintained, waiting for or working on a fork, accepting the changes, or abandoning ship and seeking an alternative. As a user of a keyboard-driven tiling window manager that does not completely follow the WIMP model, I find the option of using a single window mode to be a welcome change.

  11. Re:sigh on A Mixed Review For Google Chrome On Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is not so much the job of Chrome as it is of GTK. Have you tried making it use the GTK Qt engine [gtk-qt-engine]? That -- and setting Use System Title Bar and Borders -- will at least get Chrome to match your text and Qt engine style.

  12. Re:Who really built this thing? eMachines? on LHC Knocked Out By Another Power Failure · · Score: 1

    The "uptime" on this collider is worse than an application server running on Windows ME!
