I was unclear. Showing all windows in all workspaces takes up quite bit of room, the windows can become quite small, this is probably why that mode got nerfed.
It's probably more related to how much space windows in workspaces takes up. I expect options to be added over the next few dot versions, just how GNOME works.
There's a lot of potential for geothermal energy in Japan, but not enough to make up for this and all the other plants that are now offline.
Is there anything that doesn't scale about geothermal? Are the scheduled blackouts in Tokyo not enough to see the problems with a power supply that can be crippled by failure in two plants? Seeing that 725MW or those 3GW is one site with 15 plants, the tech has potential.
People on Slashdot claiming that they can't get music legitimately online only make themselves look either (a) dirt poor or (b) deluded.
If you can claim that all (with whatever qualifiers you keep applying of course) people on Slashdot are in the US and the Europe (again, with qualifiers excluding places that don't fit the mold) you might as well claim that everyone is affluent and eliminate (a) as well. It's as justified as attacking my (c).
There are places, even in Europe (particularly in eastern Europe), where downloadable music is overpriced and the convenience aspect is non-existent (you have to hunt around to find what you are looking for). Ignoring this doesn't make it disappear, if you can have (a), you can't dismiss (c).
I said (if you go back and check what you're arguing against) "digital music being available to purchase." That's a lot more than just Spotify.
And I said that there are geographical restrictions, not that there is no downloadable music for sale. There are places in Europe where you can get just about anything, there are places where you have to hunt around and there are places where your options are restricted. If you didn't think that Spotify was a good example, you needn't have brought it up.
I just don't understand what your issue is.
You talking about the non-existent "general case" of the lack of geographical restrictions in Europe. Coverage is spotty and fragmented and the smaller (and further east) you go, the worse it gets. For the purposes of discussion there is no such region as Europe, no matter how well UK, Germany and France are covered.
Finland, Netherlands, Sweden, France, Norway, Spain and the UK.
6 out of 27 EU members. 41 percent of the population (EU + Norway and Switzerland, generously excluding all of the Balkan republics, Ukraine or Belorussia). I don't think there is any need to examine any of the conclusions from the faulty premise of Spotify being available in "Europe".
It's a slightly less blatant version of: "What the fuck makes you believe that content is uniformly availably in Europe? it's a bunch of countries with their own little local distributors, this should be obvious if you think about it for 2 bloody seconds".
Just because you get full sources for Clang does in no way mean that you can run it on any given closed platform, much less software compiled with it. GPLv3 requires that the user can run their own version of whatever GPLv3 software you distribute to them, BSD doesn't, your apparent conflict doesn't actually exist.
What you say is true, but it doesn't support your argument. BSD-style licensing is not incompatible with a closed ecosystem. Contributing to Free Software outside of the ecosystem doesn't really affect their ability to control what happens on the inside. There are two main differences between GPLv2 and GPLv3: patents and code signing. While it is obvious that Apple doesn't want to play ball on the patents, the requirement to let users self-sign can't be much far behind on the list of reasons to drop Samba.
And look how the LGPL is biting them in the ass with all the 3rd party webkit improvements! It's quite clear why they dislike the GPL, who'd want to deal with other people improving your non-profit center stuff.
Yes, RedHat is just tripping over themselves to remove GPLv3 from their distros, being a company with a reasonable legal department and maintaining a defensive patent portfolio. Not so coincidentally you last point is bullshit for the general and common cases, the only time when it conceivably become a problem is if someone who is redistributing your GPLv3 software is suing you on unrelated patents and all of your patents affecting said company are used in the software. Contrived to say the least (and still a patent law, not Free Software, problem to boot).
But it's no longer possible to say that you can't get quality digital music at a reasonable price anymore without most people thinking you're (a) dirt poor or (b) deluded.
Slashdot Mirror
To be fair, the handle could come from the Finnish drink named after same protege.
You think the latest video editing software doesn't use GPU acceleration?
He never said that...
Right tool, right job, etc.

What I loved was the ability to see all windows at once, seems like I'll have to keep better track of which workspaces I put them on now.
Do you know if the ability to show all workspaces at once is gone for good? That was the best part about the earlier gnome-shell previews.

Geothermal.
That doesn't sound like a benchmark issue... Character attacks aren't impressive when asked for a problematic benchmark.

For intra-European geographical restrictions, yes.
You yet have to demonstrate this.
There is no general case in music availability in Europe, prices and selection varies by country.
Yes, it is competitive with C++, I'm not sure why you felt the need to restate this...

You can easily comply with GPL3 by giving the user the option to run self-signed code, since the user is OK with restrictions they will not do so.
If a developer doesn't distribute, the the developer hasn't distributed and the GPL didn't apply.
Europe is not one country...
(c) Geographically restricted...
