Because as a Linux user I have become quite accustomed to things "just working".
Unfortunately, wireless destroys that notion, causing irritation (though my thinkpad T500 shows me how it is when the stuff does work, and it's great).
I think GP was talking about the order of teaching, not that C was un-needed.
I think it is fair to say the basics can be taught in a language that handles some of those things, then when the basics are understood, move into the teaching of preprocessors, compilers and linkers in a separate course. One that could be taught using C and gets more involved in things with memory.
I know the first programming course taught at the local university does not teach anything beyond those basics in C anyway. I think it would make more sense to teach things like macros when they have more use than a craps game (the final project).
I still can't tell if they are eliminating the close button, if they aren't I don't think it should be immediately next to open a browser button, nor should it be 2 inches from the edge when maximized.
But it now looks like it may be some sane behavior (heat throttling), mixed with some bad drivers.
Still, if it is truly a kernel issue, I would think a company like canonical would fix it (I mean somebody ought to).
I definitely started experiencing it around when it opened on my desktop, my current laptop does it a little too, but it was early alphas I really noticed it, haven't done any big updates since.
In the early alpha I literally left the update overnight when the laptop became unresponsive (could not log in at a terminal, as it timed out before i could enter my password). The next morning still in the same situation (10 hours), disk LED blinking.
Can't you tell chrome to use the native window decorations?
I did that, as the saved space was not worth the lack of being able to tab the windows (in KDE4), and losing an always on top button (I find always on top one of the most useful buttons actually).
6.10 - 7.10 was a pretty exciting time (as a casual nerd).
Since 7.10 the only real improvement is KDE4 became usable, but as much as I want to love KDE4, I think I actually really like Gnome.
Something about a clean task bar at the bottom really works for me, leaving the cluttery menu and buttons at the top.
I really like the QT4 widget set a lot (especially tool bars, e.g. Eric Python IDE ), but in use somehow, gnome just feels clean (I hate to say that too).
It's almost like all the UI research that lead to hated change, actually made something somewhat better.
and I feel that configuring Gnome is easier too somehow (well beryl vs kwin at least)
I misunderstood, I thought you meant the OS X implementation showed that it was good once you tried it, blaming something like vino/vinagre for the trouble.
I used Chicken of the VNC on Mac's, it worked for my needs, but they were light.
and somehow they they chose for landing sights areas where it was artificially sprayed, and ran through corn that likely had dew/irrigation water on its surface.
Really, I had a break-in at my house, and the cops asked around, and made an attempt to finger-print where the criminal was known to have touched.
And it is a pretty solid case, as they have located the stolen goods and know who paid for it. If I had that info, I am sure they would have followed-up.
This over a set of keys, $300 cash, an iPod, and a flash drive.
My friend found a gun on his property (the rednecks like to hunt there), and he had to turn it into the police as lost property, wait 90 days, then claim it.
The way my contact icons, contacts (chat, e-mail, and phonebook) all sync seamlessly is something I imagine would be slightly less seamless on another platform (but can't say for sure).
I like being able to search all mail I ever sent/received, while it's all on the remote servers.
I can star a contact on my phone, it's stared in my e-mail, in my google voice.
I can star a contact in my e-mail and it's the same.
Maybe the apps for the iPhone and Black Berri integrate that tightly, I don't know, as I haven't owned one.
Maps are similarly integrated too, but it is less relevant.
You can hack the kernel on an android phone (need a developer one, or a rooted one).
And you can buy them without the google experience (geek phone), and it works, but personally, I have an android because of the google experience, so that is less appealing.
Slashdot Mirror
I hope that means mine is coming soon too.
Looks like premier edition only though.

The great thing about it, is right next to the open program buttons is close a maximized window, this is very touch friendly indeed.
if the window controls are on the left, the launcher should be on the right, allowing 2 things.
1) the window controls are more Fitzy if using a mouse
2) a miss of launch does not close.
who is designing the UI's at canonical?
I'm pretty sure they didn't display it because they made changes to it and mozilla said "this ain't our firefox"
Since then they changed it to mozilla's firefox with ubuntu extensions installed.
Better that the consumers of a product causing environmental destruction pay for it than everyone.
It also makes the cost proportional to use.
Well MS's implementation of OOXML breaks the OOXML standard, not quite sure your question though.
Really, it's in all their official screenshots

This is the real issue IMO.

VNC is not X forwarding...

I hate that movie...
The two aren't even slightly mutually exclusive.
You may as well have said " purple"

How quickly does property become abandoned?
Where do you park your car?
My friend found a gun on his property (the rednecks like to hunt there), and he had to turn it into the police as lost property, wait 90 days, then claim it.
May simple be that it was a fire-arm though.

d-modding a mistake
Apple's market cap is nearly as large as Microsoft's.
They are nearly as good at being evil.
