Given the general negative reception of GNOME 3 (and Unity and to a lesser extend still also KDE 4), it surprises me that I haven't seen it much mentioned on the net that KDE 3 is back as a DE choice. Now if only the MATE (GNOME 2 continuation) was also included...
Anecdotal... but here (Netherlands) actually sometimes used by the traffic police. In those cases, they drive at a steady pace of 70 km/h in the middle of the highway on unusually busy days. This works beautifully, as no body dares to overtake the police car and has smoothing effect on the traffic behind. This works much better than matrix signs above the road indicating a 70 km/h speed limit, which everybody ignores. IMHO, the major factor contributing to traffic jams is the severe lack of discipline on the road, probably caused by the (perceived) anonymity in a car...
should make a clear voice againts these kind of practices. Ripping off your fans with your art sold this way is not going to do you any good in the future when people start to understand they haven been fucked over. We as a small/. crowd can bitch all we want, and even vote with our euros/dollars/yens, but we will not particularly impress these kind of a## holes. On the other hand, if the public in general or the artists in general start to reply to these kind of idiots with a collective "Fuck off" and start supporting labels as Magnatune http://www.magnatune.com/, things will change. Things will change rappidly.
