    From experience I'll tell you that doesn't work with a somewhat obese sheepdog - especially when you're not exactly Karen Carpenter yourself.

    Retarded though that is, isn't that in the options somewhere? I think in Gnome you can even switch the order somehow, so close is between minimise and maximise, though why anyone would want to is anybody's guess. Is it like that on Macs?

    I vaguely remember accidentally setting it and thinking "this totally fucking sucks" then switching it back and nearly forgetting about it.

    Implying your retarded* well established defaults are the best way.

    It implies nothing of the sort. However breaking expectations is rarely a good idea.

    Is brake on the left & gas on the right intrinsically better than the other way round? No idea. But it's what people expect, and if you're going to change it then your awesome solution doesn't just need to be better - it needs to be vastly better.

    Shittest book on anything ever.

    But I must take my hat off to you for your time management skills. Most people would find shilling for the 1% or Lennart Poettering a full time job on its own (no apostrophe - is it that hard?) but you manage to combine both.

    So instead of users working around Lennart's shitty designs the distro maintainers should do it?

    While I agree that's an inconvenience to fewer people and is therefore a slight improvement I can think of another step that would be even better. Can you?

    I work in "traditional" higher ed, and our enrollment is down too.

    Is that necessarily a bad thing? While I understand that education and vocational training aren't the same thing, shaking out a few Klingon Studies and Underwater Basketweaving courses wouldn't be a great loss - even to the students taking them.

    No doubt some around here will blame the victims - I won't name names - but it's a special kind of meanness to prey on those who are genuinely trying to better themselves.
