Last I looked a couple weeks ago, openSUSE support forums are still advising that BTRFS should not be used on production machines - experimental only. I don't know if SUSE enterprise is giving different advice, but I doubt it.
The Windows 8 "native" apps are for things like email, media center, chat. I just show the new users how to access the same programs they had worked with previously on the Windows 7 desktop, or tell them to use their webmail client for email and chat. I would install VLC on the desktop for anyone who wanted to run media anyway. The full screen apps just seem too restrictive, as that's not really how the work flow is usually set up on a laptop. Even my Chromebook, which is "just a browser" (actually a specialized version of Gentoo), allows the windows to be reduced in size and moved around so you can view multiple tasks at once.
And, it looks like several thousand Android apps have already been ported to Chrome. So I'm kind of a smart idiot. Like an idiot-savant I guess you could say.
But they suckered me in with the $249 price, and this little machine is just a ton of fun. Its like Desktop Android - thousands of Android apps. I think they've hit a home run with this little device.
Nice and fast. But those full-screen, pastel-colored apps? No thanks. Don't bother, VLC. "How do I avoid these full-screen programs" is the first question I get when I'm helping someone with a new Windows 8 laptop.
coming on Slashdot to blame the victim. Dozens and dozens of lock-step victim-blaming posts. Shocking. Great marketing campaign, Cook & Co. Hint - next time train your shills to use more variety in their posts so I can't see through your campaign so easily. Or quit using bots to do your posting for you.
Chromebook already runs a specialized version of Gentoo, which you can unlock in Dev mode and run (http://georgemcbay.blogspot.com/2012/10/go-on-samsung-arm-chromebook_25.html). For dual boot, you can just run a version of Linux on a USB stick (http://www.chromebook-linux.com/2011/11/booting-gnulinux-distribution-from-usb.html).
people are getting paid real money to sit around in their underwear guessing which stars have planets and life. While eating Cheetos and drinking Dr. Pepper. I think I just found my next career.
SUSE and openSUSE went with KDE 3.x as the default until 4.x was well baked. The fact that many users and distros (and even SUSE users) failed to heed the warnings does not mean the KDE group failed.
Slashdot Mirror
Has he made any progress in finding the "real killer"? I'm sure that's much more important to him than his own freedom.
Yeah, you make a good point.
Yeah, or you can dual boot from a usb stick, or just use the Gentoo Linux underbelly by taking the Chromebook into Dev mode.
That's great news!
ain't bad either.

Just don't click on the "native" apps. But I don't see why VLC would want to go that direction.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving THEIR JUST VIDEO GAMES from the consent of the governed"
this is Slashdot. Stupidity is not tolerated here
...and just like that a new slogan is born...
I don't really see what's so "holy" about it. You're getting awful religious - their just video games.
which he described as the best part of the iPhone experience at the iPhone launch event.

I think MS already tried the blue screen.

A Royale with cheese.

It also lacks HDMI....
Got to wonder how these crazy fools plugged HDMI into it then: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=164893. And the picture from TFA sure as hell seems to have an HDMI port sitting on the side there.
which would you prefer to use? Your Series 9 or a MacBook Air? Purely from a hardware perspective.
