We had a code base that was not flexible, what you are seeing albeit in slow motion is a code base evolving so that we can add more flexibility and more design and thought. So yes, we had to remove features and then we added them later. If we are guilty of anything it is probably that we don't communicate as well as we should.
In the end, we are proud of the body of work we have produced. A desktop with a distinct and unique character that isn't a derivative of somebody elses's desktop but something that stands on its own.
I was 16, and a sophomore in high school. We were watching it live on TV, when it exploded in front of us. We were horrified and students were crying. It was hard. There was an extra emotional element, our old 6th grade teacher Robert Forrester was the runner up for that program. If for some reason Christie couldn't go, he would have been next. When we were in 6th grade, he would always tell us that he was going to go up in space and we never thought he would have gotten a shot. But he got as far as he did, and luckily he didn't get on there because he would have died. I'm sure he was willing to pay that price. (for some reason I couldn't find a reference to it.. but it was announced at school at the time)
What jobs? I thought the american worker was too expensive.. let em leave, and we'll make sure that we close the market to them. Two can play at that game. They want access the highly prized U.S. market, then they gotta play ball. Use the leverage - 318 million consumers, who will buy it is our culture. I mean, how many countries have a black friday?
Let em? I mean, the U.S. has plenty of natural resources and we have a population who likes to consume. We have the leverage. The problem of course is that our companies want access to other markets but honestly, countries like China will go apeshit if a situation does turn into a spiral. There will be definitely upheaval.. but hey, I thought we were like neo-pioneers or something and we got our God, Guns, and Patriotism, right?
I agree, I can only control my behavior. Since the question was directed about my behavior I answered it. I agree that people will try to get the best deal possible, I do recognize that buying local is important.
Well, I bought one TV in the 90s, and didn't buy a new TV until 2009. Anything before that, I was too young to do anything. I do not support off-shoring and I support that by buying local as much as possible. I love my state, and as a person who is the top 15-20% earning bracket, I know where my loyalties lie if I want to keep doing that and that means that I buy local as much as possible. That's the trickle down economics that I can stand behind, when people in my bracket do that then we have a platform for success. Most my furniture is oregon made or U.S. made, my car is made in Lafayette, IN. I have a famous electric car all made in the U.S. I only go to oregon businesses for my lunch and dinner. I don't eat at national chains. I invest in my local infrastructure.
I approve every goddam tax hike that helps my community. With wealth comes responsibility. I'm fully cognizant that my body of success lies on the success of others. I'm happy to pay higher taxes because I think it will lead to a better future for my children and my country. I will also make sure that my government spends its money wisely by participating vigorously in it.
Don't forget there is still Africa, unspoiled and ready for exploitation. The chinese have already set up shop there. While we were out busy with our silly little wars, China has been putting the foundations for their own global economic domination.
It will happen when U.S. workers can no longer consume, and then it'll be like the depression they will save. Those depending on the U.S. market will die off or be forced to serve the asian market which will have plenty of competitors, they will in turn try to outsource to other cheaper geos like vietnam.
Then organize and everyone quit exactly at the same time. They'd be fucked. Maybe you won't get severance, but it would be mutally assured destruction.. the impact of that will be felt everywhere as a precedence. Managers and board members understand risk more than anything else, they will stand up and pay attention...
Well I suppose they'll just have ot move their market to Asia. They should also get rid of their executives because well, they won't understand how to lead a country in an asian market. But the board of directors will be just fine.:)
Oh yeah, and if thre are starving, there won't be shit for taxes, so I guess your roads and other infrastructure you take for granted will also crumble, so whatever fancy car or even a normal car will get more easily damaged because the roads will be properly maintained. I suppose your rugged individualism will somehow solve that problem, in which case, I hope you've picked up some of tradescraft.
Indian education is primarily by rote, they don't actually promote independent thinking or out of the box thinking. This is true in general asia, where they believe as a younger person, you can't question the elder person. That kind of thinking creates an uneven power structure where the best ideas don't necessarily rise up like they do in western countries. So, until Asian countries learn to depose of centuries of ingrained thinking, the U.S. worker will always trump an Indian one or chinese one.
Sure there are going to be exceptions, but on the whole, a U.S. worker is more productive than a Indian one and also will be able to focus on and solve complex problems. Now, some of the Indians know this and have gone back to India and is trying to fix that, but it isn't going to be easy because of the cultural and corrupt institutions in place. But who knows?
As a person who had some exposure to both school systems, (with primarily in the U.S. education), I'll pick an American worker every time. Hell, if I was in India I would try to get an American worker because I know for my money, I'm going to get a lot more value.
it's a little hard to outsource "open source programming" considering that a community still has to approve and merge any of hte code into the main codeline. You can write all the kernel code you want, but it better be good code.:)
Gosh I bet your great grandpappy would have loved to have that shit come out of your mouth. Perhaps he came off the boat to seek his fortune and found one. Immigration is what gave this country the edge over two world wars. We imported the best of the best, the brightest because of the quality of life and the freedoms that we provide. That's why we have a goddam statue of liberty welcoming immigrants to this country. So honestly, shut the fuck up about real americans.
Also several indian tribes would like to talk to you about real americans.
GNOME depends on an dbus api, that logind implements, and logind is part of systemd. GNOME does not directly depend on systemd or logind. If you implement the API then GNOME will work just fine.
I'm sorry that you didn't like GNOME 3. But it got changed because it was very limiting. There is so much more to accomplish. It's what happened when GNOME 1 -> GNOME 2 and people didn't like that either. The flames continued up until it got moved to GNOME 3. Check any slashdot thread.
It'll all get better, hardware continues to change and maybe at some point, you'll come back and try GNOME 3 to check out all the new hardware toys that are coming out. Nothing is forever.
Gnome 3 has made the user-experience a disaster. But even worse, it took away or made it much harder for a user to fix that disaster, even when willing to invest time to fix it. Because, you know, the Gnome3 developers just know so much than all their users what the users want and need.
So they decided that it is really not good for us to have task bar any more, or to have shortcut icons on the desktop or have shortcut icons in the panel, or have the panels organized like we want, because doing it all like they figured out some noobs want to do it is obviously the only road to happiness for us all.
And they were so busy taking away the freedom of their users they could just not be arsed to work on important stuff like e.g. proper support of HiDPI monitors or multitple monitor configurations with big differences in DPI.
The same applies, probably even more, to the Unity team, btw.
GNOME already has support for HiDPI already part of GTK+. When the switch comes to Wayland, then multiple monitors with different resolutions will also be addressed.

I'm pretty sure he is a U.S. citizen. Having an H1B CEO would be a dangerous precedent.
Except he is living in the U.S. and is pulling a U.S. salary.

Rupert Murdoch bought National Geographic? Cripes...

It's funny how executive jobs are don' seem to be off shored.. I would think a CEO from India would be cheaper for the company.
it's a little hard to outsource "open source programming" considering that a community still has to approve and merge any of hte code into the main codeline. You can write all the kernel code you want, but it better be good code. :)
They should all be fired. If I could arrest them for incompetence, I would.

The point here is that if something else implements the api, then the package manager can use that.
GNOME depends on an dbus api, that logind implements, and logind is part of systemd. GNOME does not directly depend on systemd or logind. If you implement the API then GNOME will work just fine.
I love how he at the end puts f*cking.. after a full number of f-bombs. haha.
haha, that's pretty funny. :)
