  3. ROX still better on Why Users Blame Spatial Nautilus · · Score: 1

    I like in spatial to be uncluttered, fast, and that keeps the view of your choice for each directory

    but I really can't stand the fact that it open a new window for each directory

    to browse within the same window you have to go back to the old nautilus, that I dislike even more

    shouldn't be too difficult give the option to keep spatial closing the current window while opening the new one

    well back to Rox, for the time being ...

  18. Re:Linus retiring? on Process Improvements in the Kernel Development · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is very speculative, but this looks like the sort of thing somebody does to ease the transition when they turn something over to another leader. Yeah, it's about a 1:10000 chance that I'm right, but remember you heard it here first...

    you know what? I agree
    in 50 year max Linus will hand over his responsability
    please add me to the credit list of the future-tellers

  19. Re:Accounting on Process Improvements in the Kernel Development · · Score: 4, Insightful

  23. private systems are not always the best solution on Germany to Vote Against Software Patents in the EU · · Score: 1


    Socialism is all about looting the productive. Without a capitalist economy to loot, it's all downhill spiral. Every industry that gets nationalized will slowly bleed to death; with medicine, it's we who will bleed.

    wrong!

    download the world health chart program and check correlation beetween private vs public health care systems and indicators like child survival, life expectancy, and so on.

    check also the cost of health care vs GDP.

    pure private health care systems seems to be less effective and less efficient as well
