  1. Re:The reason: Life is too short for a Linux Deskt on 2-Year Study Shows Mac Users Downloading More Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I agree with every word. I switched to Mac full term around a year ago. I did that already at home, but I wished I would have done that earlier at work. Those wasted hours for getting something running. What a waste of time.

    The X server has for me another more important meaning. I can X-forward stuff to OS X ...

  3. Re:Yeah, I wonder that too! on 2-Year Study Shows Mac Users Downloading More Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    Thats not the point. The basic hardware support works very well in Linux. It is the layer between Software and the Kernel that is shit. All the special Audio drivers above the kernel, below the actual GUI, etc, etc.

    This is all really crap beyond crap. I also moved to OS X and I will never ever use Linux on a desktop again. Ever.

  4. Re:And that is the problem with nuclear on All French Nuclear Reactors Deemed Unsafe · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Fukushima reached cold shut down today. Read the news. And Fukushima, while horrible, is a far cry from what havoc Chernobyl was.

  5. Re:It's change for the sake of change on Ask Slashdot: Unity/Gnome 3/Win8/iOS — Do We Really Hate All New GUIs? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I agree to all the points.

    The first thing I did was to turn on the scrollbars always, now in most of the apps the original ones returned (eg Capture one has the normal big one back). So this is "ok"

    But the icon change in finder is a HORRIBLE. This is a UI disaster beyond words. For example you mount a DMG, it looks exactly (!) like any other disk. You have no idea if this is a harddisk or a disk image. unmounting then takes longer because you have to read the whole title and not longer can rely on the icons itself. Also for all the other folder icons. No longer you can say "green is download folder", now you have to read, because all the gray icons look too similar.

    But this "lets make it all gray" is a ongoing theme everywhere. The latest google UI updates is in a similar direction. They moved back a bit, eg in the documents list viewer, and kept the colored icons for the colored folders, but still. This "all in the same color" is just beyond stupid. I really have no idea why they have done that, it just makes no sens at all. Seems to me a change for the sake of a change. We didn't know what to change, so we just removed all the colors.

    And yes, Finder got horrible slow, moving files with this new show all the files you want to move is just retarded, nobody cares, you never need that. The badge with how many files you move alone would be enough. Thanks to showing all this data finder uses now more CPU and much more memory (1.2GB for finder? really? wtf).

    I hope there is some secret way to turn this off actually.

  6. Re:Global menu not the problem as much as MMN on Ask Slashdot: Unity/Gnome 3/Win8/iOS — Do We Really Hate All New GUIs? · · Score: 1

    For me this is never a problem. On the other hand it is rare that I use the menu at all. Most the time I use the shortcuts.

    And I prefer to have the menu away from the application. Does not waste space there.

    Umm, that might have been 10 years ago, but not anymore.

    Most of the FAs from JA are married (one of my friends is FA at JA and is married), and they are all around the 40s. So I really do not know where you get your ideas from.

    no, it does not?

  11. Re:Google+ is a success on Google+ Enters Open Beta · · Score: 1

    Thats because neither you boss nor your mom uses G+

    I honestly cannot really post much public on facebook anymore because I have too many people there I am not willing to share stuff. And because of the initial mess I never really setup groups to split between work/private/friends/etc/

  12. Re:Google+ is a success on Google+ Enters Open Beta · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they copied it, and made a huge mess. Did you look at the current facebook page? You literally have a feed in your feed in your feed. I honestly have no idea what is going on there at the moment. Do I see all the posts? What is a "hot" post? What are those updates on the side.

    The whole facebook thing is so confusing that I use it even less than before.

    Compare to facebook the stuff I see on G+ and the discussions I have on G+ are really interesting. Long discussions with not stupid hateful comments.

    And honestly I do not think the stuff that will be posted on any video or music service from facebook has any more value than the rest on facebook. At the current the whole thing is just one huge mess that only can get much more messier.

    In Tokyo Softbank has the same connection problem. I with my super old Docomo dumb-phone am often the only one that gets a signal. The Softbank network is really very crap.

    No, clearly you do not understand the scale of the accident or you wouldn't make such comments.

    Probably one of the last games where you could do ultimate rampage of helpless civilians (or cows) and nobody complained. Nowadays in the super whine nature and youtube, twitter, etc this is just unthinkable.

  19. Re:One thing Apple could do on Mystery of Vanishing iTunes Credit Shows No Sign of Fading · · Score: 1

    It is new devices. New in the sense "first time purchase from a different iDevice".

    I had a similar problem, if Apple would have let me confirm that this new device is mine, the could have avoided service hours to restore my account.

    And on any other distro I can do that in a fraction of time. Gentoo makes really no sense in real production environments.

    As long as a month name is given it is easy to understand, it just gets problematic with computer software and texts where only numbers are. And when you are not sure about the source then the date is only a guess. 9/11/2001 in US and Europe are just very different.

    Thats because all the press conferences were only available to japanese journalists and only in Japanese. The western media was never included in this. But this is a problem of the japanese news agency system, which is just shite.
