I was board of donkey kong in the 80's, had a slight revisit in the 90's
thats why I dont bother with nintendo much, its the same franchises in even more stupid situations, I want something new and original but the nintards keep screaming for zelda 103 so its a wonder why the market has pretty much peaked a decade ago
ds ds liite dsi 3ds 3dsxl all in what a span of 8 years?
compare that to gameboy
gb, gbp, gbc,gba,gba-sp in the span over the span of 19 years?
shit if they spent a little more time focusing their goals instead of chasing trends (who even cares about 3d now) they might have a better product worth wanting, I like the op keep looking at them and saying "why bother" the next one will be out soon, but then another one will be out soon, and then another one soon... I dont like buying shit thats obsolete within months.
Just like the car commercial I go out and do things, with real people, not sit at my table cyber stalking 682 people at the same time watching dumb shit puppy videos. I also am not a 20 something living at my parents house and actually have work and responsibilities.
I wouldnt call those exactly facts, it does get some apple shit right, but it then goes off on a near rant about microsoft despite other companies visited PARC around the same time, including microsoft, and that microsoft was not the only company developing a GUI, or the fact that they did play nice with apple in regards to the development of windows, though Jobs in his arrogance had a hissyfit because he didn't bother to understand a contract he signed.
Thats where MS ripped apple really stems from, dumass said MS could release a GUI for the PC under terms after a certain amount of time, and got his timeline wrong.
I say let the pirates in, no money whore 99cent shovelware makers will be interested and you will end up with a thriving homebrew / indy community that people wont pirate cause the makers will be giving it away.
First step, get fat, rich, and dont want to pay your taxes Second Step, get like-minded fat rich land owners to join you Third Step, defeat England Fourth Step, let the fat rich people avoid taxes for 200+ years
Apple did a lot wrong with OSX, but they did a lot right
Its not my primary OS, but when I fire up the old PPC and let OSX load (9.2 OSX Linux boot machine) its quite a pleasant experience till I hit an artificial wall and I dont feel like fucking with it
just what I want, random applications that may or may not function because of the state of my wifi
the cloud is a fad, we use it at work, and its great till the internet connection goes down or gets dog slow, then its the worst thing ever. Its nice to know that you can stop an entire companies production with a car wreck on the other side of town
really? LXDE cant even set a clock without going into regular expressions, or put a trash can on your desktop without editing text files, XFCE is the non broken version of LXDE from a users perspective
I always here that from KDE users, and back when I started using linux as a windows replacement KDE was the first place I went. Besides the fact it bogged the computer it was on down to a crawl, I really just had to constantly fight with it from a UI standpoint, being someone who really only used mac and windows up to that point.
Frustrated I went back to windows 2000, a few months later when I tried again I got mandrake which had a new gnome 2 desktop, and wow I started forgetting that anything was different in very little time in regards to the UI. This is where I said to myself, where are these KDE people getting their information? KDE is the closest to windows? Compared to what? fucking TWM?
I theorized that KDE users just parroted that line so much that they believe it, and now with KDE4's "program manager fucked OS/2 and had a retarded baby" UI while STILL hearing the EXACT same line pretty much confirms it
IMO the closest to a windows experience today is XFCE or LXDE, I usually shout XFCE cause the two are mostly the same, though LXDE feels unfinished and sometimes flat out broken, XFCE is pretty much on the money for real use by normal people.
linux mint sure is the new ubuntu, started off great, now its just a mash of crap that doesnt work together, and in the future it will be a useless turd
the answer is and always has been debian, a bit more of an ass to set up, but install it with XFCE, move one toolbar and bam a near identical windows UI experience and your not watching a bunch of bullshit do nothing enhancements crashing every time you boot (mint 11) or end up with multiple start menus and having to dive head first into forums just because gnome 3 decided you didn't want to put icons on your desktop (mint 12)
sorry, I had been a box monkey for most of my 20's, the work is mindless, dirty, hotter than hell during summer, cold as shit during winter and requires long hours of physical activity and standing on your feet all while getting meh pay...
and yet whenever you see an amazon warehouse, they have padded mats to stand on, roller tracks, and fairly new equipment and the place is pretty organized and clean... I only had one warehouse job during that time and I considered it pretty cushy... though a honest days work.
harsh is trodding a 1,100 lb palette of car batteries 50 yards in 112 degree heat on a palette jack with a lumpy wheel that liked to drag, but I did it for 3 years to keep the rent paid while in school. I would love to see what is harsh is in a state of the art warehouse that's not ran by two hillbilly brothers and only 1 forklift in the building that's busted half the time and a leaky roof.
yea get off my lawn, but at the same time quit being a pussy, there are a lot tougher jobs out there than box monkey #21.
it really doesn't matter, everything that plugs into this box uses switching power supplies which have a wide range of voltages
never mind the fact that commercial AC transmission standards was developed in the USA in serious scale, thus making every one else "wrong". on a side rant I never figured out why so many people outside the states stick to a 50Hz cycle rate, its just nonsense... is there a metric second I was unaware of?
failures go up when you make more, so tighter testing is required and thus cost more and use much more time
please come back when you have actually produced something in more than limited quantities, most limited quantities in the real world mean prototype samples

So tagesspiegel.de, fuck you, I have a life
I dont carry any wifi devices, so when I get ran over by some troddle dick its now my fault cause he wasnt paying attention

Running fast and bouncing a ball in a bikini is much more important

no
so are the 3 people that love it
First step, get fat, rich, and dont want to pay your taxes
Second Step, get like-minded fat rich land owners to join you
Third Step, defeat England
Fourth Step, let the fat rich people avoid taxes for 200+ years

yay mint + lxde
so I can have a bunch of poorly written crapware ontop of a DM that is at best nowhere completion of a beta!
even xubuntu (xcfe) is 100 times better, looks and works as slick as a mac and uses all the same shit that LXDE does but isnt broken.

"LXDE, and to lesser degree XFCE"
really? LXDE cant even set a clock without going into regular expressions, or put a trash can on your desktop without editing text files, XFCE is the non broken version of LXDE from a users perspective
That right there is the problem ... EVERYBODY says Gnome 3 is worse, and quite loudly too, but what do we get direct from a GTK developers mouth?
no shit its circling the drain, they make a product people dont want!

They swell up, they dribble, explode? I never saw it in the example provided.

then you have an RF meter, did I say expensive, dedicated piece of equipment dumbshit?

its 2012, wifi and bluetooth? What admin wouldnt want to have one around, they cost less than guessing where the dead zones are
it looks similar to the ones we have at my work, IE: not bought in a 4 pack for 9.99 at k-mart, which do dick shit nothing against surges
