No.. no. I wont. Years ago I adopted a foolproof way of avoiding speeding fines; and one that keeps me and everybody around me safer; I simply obey speed limits. As your driving improves you might discover this secret too.
Update: Immovable dialogs still presetn, and it has got worse: the system settings window cannot be repositioned now (no alt-grab possible on it) which might make F18 unusable on the netbook since it will push some settings etc off the screen completely. Ho humm.. I'll still use it on my desktop. But might need to try ubuntu/unity on the aspire.
If you don't like GNOME 3, you can pick a different spin:
Thanks, I know and love them all;-) But I took the time to learn Gnome3 when it appeared, and have come to appreciate it as a very 'calm' and fluid place to work. It has a few niggles (like the dialogs) but most are fixable with shell extensions etc..
I don't know if dialogs are still immovable, my ISO is still downloading.
I'm currently dd'ing mine to a USB stick; curious to see how it goes:-)
That's great, but.. does it still have tablet oriented nonsense like immovable huge dialog boxes that (for example) completely obscure the Print Preview in FFox, preventing me from previewing whatever I'm thinking of printing. Sigh. Very big nuisance on my netbook with it's small screen. I kept it back at F16 just because of that. I'll upgrade, but wondering if the F18 experience will be a good one.
.... except the Taliban didn't do any of those things.. you just made them up.

I'm sure the article authors were not just being lazy, but in fact knew all this perfectly well; and made a decision not to mention it since it contradicted the opinion they were trying to promote.
They seem to have a system that matches known land areas (they incorrectly have this identified as land) and remove the 'blue fog' they use in lieu of real aerial photography over most deep water. You can also see this effect any place with shoals, sandbanks, small island groups etc.
Having used the new desktop for a year+ now I'm quite into it; find it productive and fast, don't need the classic one back thanks.
BUT the latest builds have by far the most moronic UI regression I have ever seen.
Pop up dialogs in windows cannot be moved/resized (*).
If I do a print-preview in (say) Firefox the 'print dialog' appears; and cannot be moved out of the way so I can see the actual print preview itself.
If I want to print images this huge printer options screen, full of whitespace, can totally obscure the image I want to print! therefore negating the point of having a print preview system in the first place since I'm still printing 'blind'.
That is a specific example, many more occur in daily use when, for instance, a dialog appears in which you need to reference or enter details from the screen behind it, which it obscures, and prevents copy/paste from operating. Etc. Ad Nauseum.
An almost daily irritation. I know it is a change made for Tablet Users.. But they are irrelevant to be honest, Gnome is a desktop OS and will remain that way, tablet users have proper tablet OS's to use.
The Idiot Gnome weiners who argued for this, and implemented it, need to be expelled from the project; only by ridding the project of such incompetence will it be able to proceed.
(I think these are Modal dialogues, but I'm not a UI expert so apologies if terminology not quite right, I alos remember that Micro$oft dropped this in their UI after Windoze 3.5.. it is a shame Gnome chose to regress back to the late 80's.
You denialist children have lots of time on your hands and sugar daddies(*) with lots of money. It is not one FOI request, or even 'a few' FOI requests. It is tens upon tens of thousands of FOI requests, designed to disrupt decent people who oppose them and prolong the amount of pollution they can get away with.

Has there ever been a trademark infringement lawsuit, where the defendants had both been using the trademark in the market and had originated it before the plaintiffs, and where the plaintiffs won the case?
I seem to recall that in the late 60's some 'popular beat combo' going by the strange name of 'The Beatles' had a music production company called 'Apple'.
They tried to sue an upstart popular IT company of the same name and lost because that IT company was not in the music business... In fact, as part of the settlement they each signed an agreement that they would not use their trademarks in competing businesses.
If you research the followup on that, where Apple music inc. tried to enforce that agreement years later when iTunes launched, I think you will find your first example of how this can happen.
Are you so afraid of the bogey man that you don't go to the mall, the movie theatre, to work, to school? This is/. They might well be just like that..;-)
This is surely simple; Apple is using Motorolas patents; if they will not accept the FRAND offered by Moto then a Judge will surely be willing to grant a injunction against sales and promotion of all infringing products. As apple themselves have shown, this need not take years.
Or do fanbois think that 'rounded corners' drawn by one of their case designers a few years back represents a more important piece of IP than the detailed algorithms controlling signalling in a congested radio band that took real scientists and engineers years of research and skill to develop?

Reality has a well known left-wing agenda.
Indeed; Interesting how the article does not point out how many items are currently shared on Mega either, which will already be in the millions.
I've lost count of how many luxury RV's I have seen stuck in my cities eternal traffic jams as I cycle past.
Apparently there is a facebook page where you can sign up to support this..
My ironyometer went off-scale when I saw that.

Your careful analysis/teardown of TFA is rather hampered by the fact that it's Bradley Manning that Lamer is talking about, not Assange.
Depends on the Watcher, I mean, if they are an antisocial asshole like you, then yes, it's torture.

This FOI request, like so many others, is another polluters attempt to disrupt those who are telling them they must stop polluting.
yawn.
I have a message for these denialist children: Please grow up and stop helping the greedy pollute our planet.

Magnets aren't in the constitution.
:grins:
magnets.. bad.
Guns, assault rifles, knives, mace spray, tazers, baseball bats, and realistic 3rd person shooters... good.
Glad you guys have got your retail priorities straight and are protecting your kids so well.

No more than they take into account all the people who are waiting for the latest Nexus.
