    Plus eleven. "If you aren't doing anything wrong", and, quite importantly, when our Gov. doesn't appear to be doing anything wrong, then what's the problem?

  7. GNOME or something else? on GNOME: Staring Into the Abyss · · Score: 2

    Well I use something calle Unity, not this "GNOME" of which you speak. Desktops have always been on shifting sands, but I'm pretty sure we're not about to plunge back into Winidows 3.x.
