how is me clicking on the taskbar to select a window in "old fashioned" windows style management LESS efficient than clicking on the magic corner and having to squint at reduced windows, and clicking again?
Try hitting the magical windows key and tell me what happens. I seriously think most most users must have a deformed left hand or something.
While Gnome3 is not as stupid / broken as KDE4 (which I really hate) its still stupid and broken. A computer interface should be something you really dont have to think about while using it,
I noticed people say that most often when they don't want to learn something new rather than something that constantly engaging them mind and will continue to do so. People really are slaves to their habits.
I liked Ron Paul. I'm probably going to switch over to the Pirate Party though. What the nation needs is a president who takes the kind of action that makes people shat their pants. Unfortunately, you'll never see that with the conspiring corporate sponsered candidates which everybody seems to go for.
X86 cpu manufacturer can and should survive. Maybe Intel or Microsoft or Apple will buy them out to put them out of their misery. The quicker customers can box themselves in the better. Choice is fleeting and obviously, chooses the current "best" processor is always in your "best" interest with no thought of the long term. But maybe Arm really is meant to eventually replace the X86 architecture.
I worked at target for a while and Target's setup for the Wii tends to look exceptionally fugly. (I'm not sure if that is the effect of component cables.) Though you would think that modern HDTVs would be able to cheaply include some kind of filter to emulate the look of old SDTVs. You can blame SD equipment, but shouldn't you be partially blaming the equipment made to display the SD signal?
Everybody on Windows is waiting for GIMP 2.8. Everybody on linux is waiting for gWaei which I just released yesterday.;-D Expect those numbers to go up!
Hardcore Nintendo games tend to go to Japan first, then Europe, then not to America at all. It's a trend that I IGN wrote an article on not too long back. My how times have changed, eh?
Meh. I didn't quite get through my degree in school because of severe mental stress caused by my leg and family issues. I have no degree, so it's hard to get a job in my major for Computer Science or minor Japanese. I'm doing some work for an indian company right now so I am hoping for about 400 a month. You can say, "FUCK YOU YOU GIMP, GET A FUCKING RETAIL JOB AND WORK YOUR SHIT. I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE MISSING A FUCKNIG LEG." But that is the reason why I ran away to Seattle to kill myself in front of the student loans office. Fuck OWS.
... who thinks that a name like 'Pirate Party' sounds like some sort of childish joke. They might have serious intentions, but I could no more bring myself to take them seriously than I could one called the "purple polka dot clowns party".
I think it is precisely that status-quo thinking that got us where were are now. Are we better for it? I personally don't think so because it cultivates a corporate type of conformist culture. Almost like how Democrats and Republicans really are the same thing dispite what many may say.
being the great Open Source News source you are, it would be great if you included some information on how the moonlight team is taking this. Who knows, maybe Netflix will move to moonlight.
With how you cannot opt out of debit card overdrafting (you know the tech is there, but they don't want you to use it) I've given up on banks. I've considered going to a credit union, but I haven't gotten there yet. Right now I just prefer not using a bank at all.
When normal law-abiding Americans have to deal with drones, then they will have some insight on why sending them to foreign countries may be viewed as cowardly and hate-worthy.
You can ignore a post like this, but if you think it is important to not be ignored that there are people with problems like this and they can't do anything, it should be modded up to be visible.
I lost my leg to cancer when I was 12. I went to college, thinking I could make it through, but eventually the pain from my leg started taking a strong enough mental toll that I stopped going after 4 years. I started working at Target for minimum wage when the hydraulics on my knee went up. But I was making too much to fix it. But I have student loans. But my body didn't want to keep up for 40 hours a week.
That is why I came to the conclusion the only way for change is to hang myself. It is the only way for change in this society. I am in Seattle now homeless. I just dropped everything in New York to come here. I am waiting for the rain season to come so my spirits can become low enough to do it.
That is what student loans are about. Driving handicapped young men in their 20s to hang themselves. Fuck you America.
D and K keys. They are where you place your longest fingers in the home row. Only a moron would put them over F and J (but then that explains the layout of Qwerty). If you don't believe me, go into a pitch black room and try to feel out the home row. First using your index fingers, then using your middle fingers. Once you find the home row with your pointer fingers, it is a lot harder to seat your other fingers because you have to twist your hands to make them touch first.
The only time the dimples on the D and K keys makes sense is when you are staring at the keyboard. But that isn't touch typing now, is it?/end inflammatory dialog
In the next few months I'm going to be slitting my throat at the offices of the place I got student loans from.
I'm handicapped. For some reason I have a really hard time getting people to realize I have an artificial leg because I lost it to cancer. These last few months I have been biking 14 miles round trip to work at a retail store where I make minimium wage. I word 40 hours a week, I cannot handle my other priorities in life.
So I have been slowly cutting myself off from the world. I don't have a phone anymore. I don't talk to anyone on facebook or email. I just work, hiding my pain from my leg everyday. All that is left is the pain and the student loans people threatening me.
I'm hoping my death will help spur something but we will see. I have no car so I have to do this in the next month or so.

It wasn't until they got into the machines that they realized the Kernel wasn't written in Javascript. "Dammit!"
