I know. That was just showing off. Because the actual beauty is invisible... unfortunately.
Ok, you can see that you do *not* see things. Like window buttons for example. Because the real thing that I love about Compiz, is to be able to configure it in a way, that I can use the windows-key as the universal windowing manager key, and then combine it with the three mouse buttons for moving, scaling, and closing. I do not have to hit the tiny button on the top border. I click anywhere on the window.
But that's just the beginning. It's like mouse gestures, but more efficient. Especially with a 5-button-mouse (two on the thumb).
And then I can run the main apps (next to the K symbol) by just pressing Win-F1 to -F8. Etc, etc. Also what is really good, is to enforce position, size, desktop, closability/resizability, etc, on windows. That way they always start at the exact same place, in a nice arrangement.
It's an actual growth in efficiency.
But of course to make white flowers come out of the grass and rise, while chillout music plays in the background, makes every girl that sees it want to have it too (and have me, in the background? ^^).
I usually theme the whole system colors (windowing, widgets, etc) to the background. Which itself is meant to be an "outside view" fitting the weather. And it's impressive how well it works on the feeling of summery happiness.
Just a quick note: There is no such thing as "European residents" that's like saying "Asian residents".
When you do so in Europe, you will get the following reactions: The French will complain about being in one pot with the nasty British. The British fill complain about being in one pot with the nasty French. The Italians will just complain, moving their hands wildly. And the Germans will hide, and fear being called Nazis for complaining.
Think about throwing the USA in one pot with the Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans and Jamaicans, and you start to get the picture...:)
And you don't think a real freakin' keyboard, including the keys that you need for using a shell & co, which the iPhone does not have at all, and real physical tactile functionality, is a killer feature? ^^
Seriously, no matter how good a phone is. If it has no phone, it is right out of the contest.:)
Hmm... what is thin "European" style you are speaking of. I don't know how it's in other European *countries*, but here in Germany, you got two options: Either you buy it without any contract or anything (like simlock and branding), and pay the full 500€, or you buy a plan for two years, and depending of the size of that, you will pay between 150€ ($213) and 1€ initially. With branding at the network providers themselves, without branding at independent (and usually cheaper) resellers, and simlock would be a rare surprise to see (perhaps on "prepaid with phone 'plans'")
But if you wait some months, you usually get it for 50€ ($71) or less.
What I mean is, that you say that the planet should be consumed in less than a million years. Well, what if it simply got closer right now, and just started to get consumed. So we will see it being consumed in less than a million years. And the theory still is correct.
Just wait and see... after all it's just a million years.;)
Hey, I'm a professional, and this is no either-or.
In fact your ideals, and a really pretty site, have to be both fulfilled, to call yourself a real professional!
And nobody cares about netcat, or often even the colorblind. (Not because we are asses, but because a real browser has the ability to define a user-CSS, where you can enforce specific colors. See Opera's custom user styles for examples!) (And netcat or lynx work the same, no matter what your CSS is. The HTML still is the same. That is the point!)
Some wise words you can learn from knowing rhetoric: The louder you scream, the less they will respect you. (But if you speak calm, with a stable and not too high voice, in the face of the storm... they will think you are very sure of yourself for a reason.) This is also true for talking way too much. (Especially on the net, where you can read normal text in the voice that you expect, and long text usually makes that voice become unfriendly as well.)
It is also the reason, why we instantly notice that someone is trying to trick us into buying snake oil.
... the blimps will be seen from over 1000 miles, and the single high-altitude high-speed stealth anti-spy missile will say hello, shortly thereafter.;)
There's this interesting fourth dimension that you might have heard of. Its ordering makes it possible for something to be quiet and be released *at the same place*, as long as the one follows the other. You should try it!:)
But beware: It can be deadly beyond 1.893456-3.15576 Gs from your starting point.
Yeah, the shame of avoiding DLL- *and* dependency hell crushes me. Thank you for understanding it. And that horribly beautiful desktop of mine*... I mean how can I live with that? I should shoot myself right now, in front of an Apple shrine.

Haven't you read the summary? It was ordered by the government! They payed for it. The Bundestrojaner was meant to be used in at least Germany, as a tool for the federal intelligence service!
Of course the police that nothing. It's their own project!
Not always. You can't forget about physical limitations.
For example, we can have all the demand for Astatine and Francium we want. There still won't be any big supply, because it does not exists that much and can't be created that easily.:)

Also, he never heard of multiplayer games and required teamwork, apparently...
Yeah, because donuts make cops, faster, better, stronger, more intelligent... ^^

I think we have to rephrase that, because apparently, Linux got the future covered, and now only waits for the desktop to die. ;)
You just forgot the dimension of time!

What about non-drm-free stuff? The stuff that we were talking about, before your attempt to distract with something unrelated? ;)

Who is that Noone? Is it the nickname of Noonien Soong?
By the way: Did you notice that Data was closed-source? ;)
Oh come-on! Can't you moderators see a funny thing, when it bites you in the ass?
Or have you just proven, what I was only joking about? ^^
So you are saying, that because "everybody" wants it, that makes it "right", and that fighting it is a "waste of time"?
Let me guess: You would have said the same, in a certain country in 1939, right?

LOL. I had to check if that typo actually is in my make.conf. Turns out the file is correct and it was a typo while re-formatting it.
that their horrible "design" destroys anything that the good intention created!
Seriously, it looks like an intern did it. Or one of them "web developers" who drove a taxi before that job, and are still in 1999.
Now think about why you only wrote "should" instead of "will" and actually doing it.
Long and hard. For at least a hour a day for a week.
Then you might come to the root of the problem. :)

The point is, that if he had not opened the source, the same would happen, but without a chance for Skype or us!
That's the thing! It's not as if not opening the source would have prevented anything.
