For me GNOME jumped the shark with this new "feature" intended to help newbies who don't know about alt-dragging windows.
If you alt-drag a window's title bar off the top of the screen (I guess they must anticipate this can happen WITHOUT alt-dragging in some other scenario, otherwise it's clear the user knows how to do it) then attempt to resize the window using one of the edges or the bottom left corner, you instead get the window's menu.
And of course, the arrogant GNOME devs knew that this improvement was beyond reproach, they elected not to add a preference for it such that the original behavior could be restored.
And now with Unity's wackiness... I just want a predictable GUI that does the normal things a GUI should, I don't want innovation. (Just like Microsoft removing the "Up" button in Windows Explorer... and no, breadcrumbs aren't the same, because the up button was always in the same place, but you have to aim for a breadcrumb each time...)
Thankfully there is no shortage of choices for window managers in Linux, though I will miss the GNOME menus, as they provided the most sane way I've seen of discovering what software is installed.
Well... I didn't realize it was a Spaceballs reference and it's still funny.
The idea that any suitcase would be capable of accommodating a combination that long (using a conventional suitcase locking mechanism) is comically silly.
Mozilla has now released Firefox 4 RC1. For most beta participants the update should be automatic, but for those holding out until it gets closer to feature freeze
lolwtfbbq?
Software isn't fucking BETA until it's feature complete.
Mozilla is adding features to release candidates??
Boy, that sure sounds like some real "innovation" right there...
If EA really thinks PC gaming is such a waste of time and money maybe they should GTFO.
I for one wouldn't miss them. As it is now I have to check every game I look at on Steam to make sure it's not published by them. It'd be nice not to have to worry about making that mistake anymore.
ConnectBot still doesn't work with the HTC Hero. Any key which is invoked by holding your finger down for a bit results in two keystrokes being registered.
That's fine and good, but you really shouldn't be rewarding draconian companies like Ubisoft with your money. Either abstain or find a rationalization for your piracy. My favorite is, "if they're going to treat me like a criminal then I'll act like one."
I escaped the hustle and bustle of christmas shoppers and got wowed by eye-candy. What more would I want?
You could want a film that changes the way you think about your life, about human nature, about reality itself.
The experience of the original TRON, at the time, sparked the imagination of many.
With the modern state of computer graphics and the ubiquity of computing devices today, it wasn't possible for a sequel to have the same impact, but it could have used the grid as a setting to tell a unique story that offered some substantial insight into the perils of playing god, but instead it was just a popcorn flick.

Roger that.

Code written to allow per-workspace wallpaper in GNOME as part of a Summer of Code 2008 project:

Result?
Ignored by GNOME.

Thanks, GNOME.
Thanks, Søren Sandmann.
the newspaper has reported an excess of one hundred thousand subscribers so far.
Wow, they have 100,000 more subscribers than they want?

Well, perhaps what Mr. LeBoon had in mind was giving a PowerPoint presentation to Mr. Cantor. His bullet points will be placed in their heads.
I quite literally feel very fortunate to have gotten away safely.
As opposed to figuratively feeling very fortunate??
Does it still have the AwfulBar?
Not interested.
Wouldn't it take both fewer keystrokes and less calculations on the part of reader if you just wrote the number of years like a normal human would?
Ass.

Yeah, who needs that boring theory crap anyway? (sarcasm)
Didn't slashdot used to be for tech folks or am I confusing it with some other site?

mspgcc works great for me.
Skip to 10:15.
Bachmann on Hardball calling for an calling for an investigation into members of Congress to determine who among them has an anti-American agenda.
That's nutty enough to pass the "nutball" mark on my meter.
I've no problem with awesomebar. It works fine for me.
I'd wager you also have no problem with your subscription to Mouth Breather Quarterly.

Newegg doesn't have any DDR3 less than $10/GB, which makes your $8/GB figure 20% lower than what that particular site offers.
Where do you shop for RAM?

In practice, though, it's not a big deal - everyone sane just uses spaces anyway
Really? Why? After all, tab is THE indentation character.
Is this about people who are too lazy to change their tab stops complaining?
Well fuck them.

I'm not mad. Just disappointed.
PS: Quorra is mai waifu!
Reed Hastings, co-founder and CEO of Netflix, sits on the board of directors of Microsoft.
Why do you think they went with Silverlight?
Why do you think the PS3 and Wii required discs to use Netflix for so long?
Did the MS drone who produced cited quotation ever explicitly state that creating an open source driver amounted to "modification"?
It sounds to me like they didn't understand the question.
Wow. The fact that this got upmodded to 4, Interesting says more about the state of slashdot demographics than any editorial could...
I can see how it's easy to miss, as it is the first sentence in TFA:
