MacOS and AmigaOS also got unified menus. I like them. They save space.
And yeah, some programs on the Amiga ran in a screen of their own, some others in separate windows, all used the same menu method and just because one program such as a painting program or file manager ran in it's own screen didn't mean I couldn't switch to something else. Many X users like virtual desktops and separating tasks within different desktops themselves. It's imho just the same. I'd rather say I don't like how for instance Gimp spreads multiple windows on top of some other windows. I'd prefer one or a clean slate for the windows to show up in. Windows got their modal windows to.
To me it's also obvious that the Gnome people seem to want us to work in full screen mode. But on the other hand if you want multiple smaller windows you can have those in another desktop or you can tile two windows beside each other. And I suppose you can hold down a key and arrange them whatever way you want without them snapping to the screen edges and change shape automatically to?
Btw, awesome drivers for AROS would be awesome. Linux community seem to hate Nvidia and maybe AROS got good Intel drivers to? Or at least can borrow or benefit from them. Personally I've always liked Nvidia drivers since they was available for so many OSes and quick.
Then if Steam decided to make games for AROS rather than Linux and got some developer support I could finally had come back home =P
Yeah, WindowMaker has always been pretty nice and worked. Can't say I've used it "since" 1998 though. My experience with it may have been just before but I haven't been very loyal to anything.
Haven't really been an active Linux/*BSD user for the last 5+ years either so until very recently my last real experience was KDE 3.5.
Anyway. WindowMaker works.
Personally I think Enlightenment17 is pretty interesting to. It's fast, configurable, most likely coded by someone who knows what he's doing rather than experiment with it. But then it depends on what software and toolkits you bring to your desktop.
Personally I think Gnome 3 shell is pretty interesting but I've got a Razer mouse which multiclicks so it's not very usable atm. KDE4 seem so heavy on my machine and imho KDE applications look like a mess. I know about the QT XML projects and such which was for a very short while the future of Nokia and I just wish someone made better looking QT applications. I think having one tool kit and an integrated desktop would be pretty nice but I don't want to have to be tied down to poor applications. Guess that's one advantage of the Windows and OS X desktops.
And I've seen clips on YouTube where they boot a Macintosh Classic (?), fire up ClarisWorks, type something, save it, quit and power down and compare that to a (then) modern PC laptop and the PC was slower. I think it's pretty disturbing a machine with 1 GB of RAM runs slowly now and then I see screenshots of Directory Opus 4 running on the Amiga with 770kB of RAM available. Of 1 MB..
It's amazing how much crap you can throw into software without increasing usability.
Had some old simple-wm (don't know what one, there's plenty now anyway, scrotwm, i3, ratpoison, the likes) screenshot with a terminal, screen, mutt and some others (centericq and some command line MP3 playing "service" I think?) and mutt is always such a beauty. And it makes you long back =p, should design a standard reply template for HTML mails which put the reply in a 15x3 characters iframe or something such with a headline informing the reader that's about how readable their HTML mails is in a text based mail client. However today with advertisement it make sense and rather HTML than something application specific / new I suppose.
I currently have Bodhi Linux installed but I suppose a bigger distribution with Enlightenment would work as well / even better. But that Bodhi comes with some touches (like GTK theme) which make it look nicer together.
Kinda not that you expected back then / just after the year you mention? That Enlightenment would be one of the lighter window managers in the future..
In Debian (and everywhere else?) it's solved by also including 32 bit libraries? (And running Firefox 32 bit version? Or still 64 bit Firefox but it manage the 32 bit Flash?)
How does Solaris do it? I know you don't get any such problems there. It to ships with 32 bit versions?
Many distributions recommend ix86 for whatever reason.
Can someone who is experienced with binary distributions tell me whatever the binaries are still compiled to take advantage of newer processors (like more registers) and just using a least common instruction set or whatever they won't use whatever they could had used on newer processors except doing 64 bit instructions?
And yeah sorry for possibly using the wrong words. I don't really know how it is and what words I should use. I think it's questioning? So maybe not investigation. The intent isn't to make it seem worse than it is or trash talk Assange.
It's just an investigation. He haven't been sentenced. (English isn't my native language but what I mean is that the court haven't decided and judged him for anything.)
I don't know what all you wrote mean but I suppose the suspicion can be pretty low for and an investigation would still be ok. Why should they (the police) ignore an investigation? With total lack of evidence maybe it would be hard to get somewhere and hence one reason.
People blend Swedish police wanting him for questioning in a rape case and possible extradition and whatever court cases and sentences in the US.
Wanting to questioning him in a rape case and giving him a death sentence isn't really the same thing and the same case. The former isn't all that bad. But the words are pretty strong against it.
Personally I don't think Anakata is responsible for millions of other peoples copyright violation or should be punished for it. He's not the one commiting the crime (well, I guess helping make it happen is the reason they use but in my ideology/thoughts/reasoning rather than the law.)
Imho the reason the TPB guys are targetted is that they are few and it's much easier to get acceptance for catching them rather than various people themselves (such as the one million or so Swedes who have likely used TPB in breach of copyright laws.)
I don't think it's right that a few get punished for the act of others.
"Is sexual harassment part of the hacker culture?"
Well.. Just take a look on the Facebook Wikileaks group and the posts after posts after posts regarding Assange and people who think he should get away from a rape investigation.
I think you read too much into the version number.
For most of us it's rather OS X.
And then 10.6 is version 6 of it.
Also older machines is supported for some time, and when they are not I suppose there's been a somewhat good reason "moving from ppc to x86" and "going 64-bit."
Swedish Vin & Sprit was also built with tax money.
It served us good but was sold in 2008 to Pernod Ricard (for 55 billion SEK = 8.31 billion USD with todays exchange rate, actually Wikipedia says 5.6 billion euro so I guess the SEK value was someones conversion.)
Their most well known brand is/was likely Absolut.

Enlightenment or a tiling window manager?
Qupzilla?
Minitube and no flash?

It's not a higher res somewhat higher contrast e-ink kindle?
I thought it was. Why don't you? Are you misunderstanding anything? Am I?
Surely it's a regular 6 inch Kindle? Just better?
Thank you for this!

"They know better!"
And if you believe that you know better than Apple, even if it's your device or your usage then clearly you shouldn't had bought an Apple product!
Apple products isn't for you!
(Obvious: Not because they are bad but because you are.)
You should however recommend everyone who doesn't know what's best for them to buy Apple products! (Uh?)

It's disabled by default.
Analogue WASD keys seem interesting though.
Or an analogue keyboard in general.
Put your device into wifi mode, only use open access points and communicate over tor?
More people should leave their access points open for the greater good. Or have one open and one closed for their personal use.
Too bad that's not the case =p

Funny.
Osama and Saddam was all ok until they was not to. Right?
Lame.
So who gives Israel their weapons, nukes (?) and what not?
Who mess up the middle east in the first place?
Who's alright supporting anyone as long as it fits the current agenda?
Because demand (of workforce) is bigger than the amount of awesome people?

Always or do one have to enable it / start a scan somehow?
Make PC-BSD even cooler. PBI or whatever they are called and ZFS.

You have your courts do that.
But yeah, still suck living in the US on that occasion.
Not everything is bad with living in the US though.
A fat 404?
I wonder what Steve Ballmers will be.
Or Stallmans.
