I upgraded to Natty a week ago, and I was so flustered with Unity that I tried to disable it somehow. Much worse than the other idiotic "design decisions" they've made recently, like with moving the window buttoms to the left. I clicked a few options, I think something to do with Compiz, and Unity seemed to crash and the desktop became basically unusuable. I tried logging back in, but was presented with an emtpy desktop where nothing happened when clicking. It turns out that I can login with the older style desktop at the login screen, though I haven't figured out how to "reset" the Unity configuration.
Sorry, but that's a silly, melodramatic argument. If you really love books, you have stacks of them laying around and will never have time to read them all, so what does their being published have to do with your reading them?
In what way is this "news"? It's like the 3rd time this guy's blog was linked to in the last week or two. A few paragraphs of opinion. Are there any anti-blog tech sites, especially ones where the latest "products" aren't advertised in the form of articles?
I downgraded to 3 because of the status bar change. They should make it customizable, and not change the default from like the last 18 years. (Same with the Ubuntu window-close buttons.)
Maybe we've had a similar web history.
Excite was my main search engine before Google entered the scene
(and since I discovered Unix, I agree that VAX bad!:) )
That's fine at first, but then your test suite gets bigger, while at the same time that more code is added and old code is left to rot in place. Other developers aren't so enthusiastic about keeping the tests up to date -- they have business needs to satisfy, after all -- so some tests start failing, but nobody fixes them. Your data sets get out of date when the design changes a bit and certain columns are hacked into or out of tables, which breaks tests that nobody wants to fix. All this time completely wasted writing tests that will rot, for code that will just get thrown away.
I usually unfriend for reasons like those in the article. I rationalize it like this: yes, it's great reconnecting with friends from highschool or college, but if it was so important to remain friends, why did we not communicate for the last 10 years? We've grown apart, or really we weren't friends in the first place. Oh, you'd like us to pray to Jesus for.... right, the LORD Jesus.... yeah, okay the LORD OUR SAVOIR JESUS....
Some things aren't meant to last. Have a nice life, byebye....

Bloatware. Surely, a real hacker would write a custom "browser" in assembly using syscalls directly.

Foreign keys are bad for scalability.
They couldn't just, you know, optimize Firefox....
Better than a butt-plugged leak?
(Completely off-topic, but) I've noticed I tend to make more of these kinds of typos as I'm getting older.
And which communist-party leader owns the internet cafe chains which Yu Yi would like to promote?
Only in China....
Certainly seems concerned about drawing ACs out of anonymity, at least, and has a strong belief about what the "real issues" are.

Not to mention, what would stop content farms from spam-blocking the more popular sites to drive down their rankings?
Maybe you're dehydrated

University lectures are outdated anyway: http://www.wimp.com/studentstoday/ Need to change with the times.

What database does slashdot run on, by the way?
There's no reason for us to demonstrate our well-known SLBM capabilities to our own country's most populated county.
Who is "us"? The media certainly has a reason to attract attention.
You're blaming the game for your lack of self-control? Go to bed, and stop whining....
It's strange seeing this on Slashdot: deprivation of Fox considered suffering.
I think they should shoot dozens of probes away from the sun in different directions just to see what happens.

....is that the books are out of order. Why does volume IX come after volume XII?
