All your laughter does is giving away how little understanding there is on your side.
There's a strict separation between mechanism and policy.
X11 provides the mechanism; it creates a display to draw on, and provides basic operation to do the actual drawing of primitives.
Window managers and the like provide the policy -- how does the GUI behave, how are windows decorated, what pixmap for the cursor, etc.
This is a very useful and proven separation of concepts; there's nothing "horrible" to it. In fact, it would be horrible if it was different.
Yeah, especially developers love having to support multiple platforms which all Do It Wrong(TM) in their very own subtle ways. Then again, what do I care about web devs...
there are services like last.fm. i typically have it play, and it's mostly playing stuff i don't know yet (although of a genre i like). when i notice i like the currently playing track, i can mark it as "loved" (conversely one can ban tracks you're sure not to want to hear again).
As time passes, the list of "loved" tracks grows, and every couple months or so i leech it all off^W^W^W^Wpurchase legit copies of the tracks i marked loved.
Who gives a fuck if a piece of malware puts annoying ads or slows down the computer to the point of being unusable?
Wow, you seem to have deep insight on what malware tends to be up to. Not that i'd expect anything more than gibbering in Windows users' discussions, but for the record, I fucking care. Because it is my hosts being DDoS'ed, my mailboxen being filled, by your numerous grandmas and their damn XP machines.
Getting it back would mean the receivers had to make new transactions, moving the value back. This requires ownership of their private keys. When cryptocurrency gets "stolen", what actually gets "stolen" (used) are private keys, to sign one or more transactions emptying the wallet. With no 'undo' function.
e-wallet users are retarded and deserve just that shit.
This isn't an inherent weakness in bitcoin, it's the result of people Doing It Wrong(tm). As usual, kind of.
5 posts ago i explicitly claimed not to be able to give you any practical advice on the matter.
You went on, anyway, and now you're flaming me for having replied in a similar way. that's hilarious.
And FWIW, your computer illiteracy didn't show until went on gibbering about how free software, apparently in general, isn't fit for an unspecified job.
I actually was being serious, it's what I'd do if I were to buy computers with windows preinstalled, or had any reason or desire to use windows in the first place (which hasn't happened in the last decade)
Therefore I don't know any more practical answer, sorry.

Conservation of energy was proven wrong by Project Manhattan.
Are you....serious?

Haha now that's clever.
You're doing it wrong.

Well, you do understand it from the "having to sell something new as innovative every other year" point of view, right?

Please piece down for the next sit of information will core you to the shock:
You already asked the question, retard.
If someone feels like answering it, there's GGGGGGGGGGP to reply to.
eh by e-wallet i mean web-wallet, of course

oh sh--
Typical java programmer..can't count to seven.
Please die in a fire.
You didn't even specify what exactly that job is. But yeah, i get it, you're computer illiterate.
i typically install right away:
gmake bash bitlbee git vim i3 fetchmail procmail mutt mpg123 minicom mupdf
toolchain and stuff is already there, as part of the base system, of course
headless would differ a bit ncdu wget netcat nmap irssi gnuplot
tcpdump and nmap on a server --- what could possibly go wrong :).
you also should add 'figlet' to your fun section, works well in a pipeline with cowsay -n (IIRC)
Email readers which integrate a text editor are a failure to start with. Same goes for text editors which integrate email readers, of course.
yeah, they are annoying. for about a week, then suddenly non-modal editors feel annoying.
Let me put it this way - use free software.

AC for good reason. I run pirated windows 8.1 on two personal machines
Wow. Thug life -- fuck the police!
But..posting this anonymously? You take a pass on a lot of street-cred by doing that.
