    If it's about the engine, anything that works on Chromium should also work on Safari and Konquerer.

    No flash(no hulu, or flash games or about 90% of streamed media) no Silverlight(by extension no netflix) no Adobe reader(so no overdrive ebooks from the local library) no idevice support.

    Should be an unofficial repo somewhere for Flash. I could install Silverlight from Moonlight, but fuck it. I don't even use Netflix. Adobe Reader? Are you kidding me? Ever heard of xpdf and Okular? I am not sure but Amarok/Clementine might have sync capabilities, if you need that. (Clementine works fine with my Android).

  18. Re:Numbers don't lie on Bad Software Runs the World · · Score: 1

    For a continuous distribution, integration of a PDF over a range [A, B] wrt variable 'x' to give P(A (less than or equal to) x (less or equal to) B) is the same as:

    • P(A (less than) x (less than) B)
    • P(A (less than or equal to) x (less than) B)
    • P(A (less than) x (less than or equal to) B)

    That is, you can just ignore the = sign wherever you want, because that by itself doesn't have any area.

    PS: It just looks messy without the mathematical notation. /. doesn't allow me to use (less than) signs because they are interpreted as HTML. ;)

    Gnome3 is probably a LOT more intuitive.

    Are you telling me you did NOT search for a shutdown button in the initial GNOME release? I mean, who the fuck presses Alt just to see "logoff" change to "shutdown" (It was the default, don't know about the current GNOME release. I hope they fixed it)

    Support your statement with facts.

  20. Re:Good lord NO!!!!! on GNOME Developers Lay Out Plans for GNOME OS · · Score: 1

    It's probably got something to do with the boot processes more than the GUI. Try checking how much time it requires for you to boot into a non-X environment, and see how systemd helps (systemd boots into X in less than two seconds, but that is for Lennart Poettering :P)

    It sounds scary, but if you can live with - and appreciate, Haiku's GUI, then you can also use something like Fluxbox. As scary it sounds, my shift to Awesome WM just made me more productive.

    Gnome at least is moving forward.

    Three years ago, I used GNOME because it was so intuitive, my mother could use it. Go back and think about how awesome it used to be.

    After building the *drumrolls* for more than a year, GNOME3 was the crap we were presented. There are GNOME extensions made to make GNOME3 look like GNOME2 again (doesn't help, but the fact that they exist tells a lot)

    Too bad, Xfce is the closest GNOME2-y thing these days. GNOME2 actually felt relevant.

    Footnote: What touch device is running GNOME3 anyway?
