Or he could have voted 3rd party. As a citzenry we can start legitimately complaining about the evils of a two party system when we stop putting ourselves in it.
I'm sure that has nothing at all to do with the fact that little girls are generally given what amounts to replica babies to play with while boys are given action-oriented toys instead.
You can work in most states in the USA as well at age 15 or 16 (and often younger for family businesses). Why is it such a big deal that there are 14 year olds at Foxconn?
I'm in the same boat. I've been using Gnome3 full time for about a year now as well and I'm very happy with it. Want to open something? Press the Win key, type a name, press enter. Viola - I now have (Insert application here) looking at me. Alt-Tab and Alt-~ are mainstays. Switching between virtual desktops is just a Ctrl-Alt-Up or Ctrl-Alt-Down away.
I understand the complaints about the lack of customizabilty, as it's sorely lacking; the few extensions I've used have tended to be somewhat buggy as well.But if you're a keyboard user you should feel right at home with Gnome3.
Track rides can be amazing, however. One of my favorite games (well, series) of all time is the Longest Journey / Dreamfall. It's completely on rails, but the stories are amazing it feels more like watching an interactive movie than playing a game.
In comparison, I don't think the game would have felt so tightly engaging if it was presented with the same level of freedom you have in games like GTA and Skyrim.
The hate isn't completely unfounded. I really enjoy the look of 4.x, but every single version I've tried (4.1-4.7) has had stability problems. On three different machines, all of which have didn't have nearly as many issues with KDE 3.x, Gnome 2.x/3.x, XFCE, etc.
I'll gladly make it my preferred DE once it's safe to use on a primary machine, but until then, I'll stick with the feature-lacking Gnome 3.x.
I won't say that it's bloated or broken or incomplete. However, I will say that every single time I've tried KDE 4.x, I've had roughly 4-5x as many application crashes compared to KDE 3.x or Gnome 2/3.x. That's the primary reason why I'm currently using Gnome 3.
You should have just run the Vista install that came with the machine. Vista gets much more flack than it deserves, a large portion of it from people trying to run it on excessively old hardware. It runs just fine on every system I've installed it on that is less than 5-6 years old.
On a day to day basis I rarely use any of the titlebar buttons. I double-click the titlebar to maximize/restore, click the taskbar or dock to minimize, usually just punch Alt+F4 or Alt+Q to close.
^This. The entire situation is completely and utter absurd, and a slap in the face of everything our country is supposed to represent. He's been in custody for how many months now without any word of a trial?
The technology behind KDE4.x is certainly several steps ahead of Gnome, but in terms of stability, I've yet to use KDE4 for any period of time without dealing with multiple application crashes. Whether this is a KDE problem or the applications themselves, I'm not sure, but it keeps me tied to Gnome for the time being for my day to day needs.
Glad to see someone mention these two gems. System Shock 1/2 and the Thief Series were among the best games released during their time. The day Looking Glass Studios closed their doors was the day that a significant portion of my faith in the PC gaming industry died. It seemed sick and cruel that such an innovative company could wither and die due to lack of profit while Blizzard ranked in cash hand over foot with a mediocre sequel to a mind-numbingly boring game (Diablo II).

Glad to see that the Fedora devs are listening to their userbase, according to the new fedUP tool. :)

I drop F-bombs all the time, at a considerably cheaper cost.

Only if you throw them hard enough.

How is it that these people saw no jail time for this nonsense? I'm as jaded as the next person when it comes to our country, but this is obscene.
I know a few voice activated commands that are probably missing.

More like spanking the monkey, really.
I actually prefer the chrome way of handling tabs. It frees up about half an inch of vertical space that would otherwise be wasted.

Also, anonymous coward isn't anonymous. I really wish it would warn us if we're posting while not logged in. Or maybe that's the captcha's job.
An easier route is just to be young, attractive, and female. Instant friends*, guaranteed.

I swear the next time I have to go through that circus, I'm going to complain about how my Freedom Fondle didn't have a Happy Ending.

Bioshock and System Shock are two completely different games. They share some marginal similarities at best.
