heh I'm wondering if they are counting popups and malware-spawned browser windows toward the IE percentages. Several people are saying 70 to 80% is more likely, but if you count the extra 'hits' from popups and such, that could easily push those numbers higher.;-)
Dear "victims of the Blackout of 2003". Sorry about our software trusting everything it saw back in 2003. Boy, have we learned our lesson since then. Unfortunately, the several millions of you can just suck it.:-D
This is just about the only complaint I have with gnome. You're stuck with the same desktop pic on all your workspaces. It's gone on too long, and it's silly.
...And require the creation of a positively massive beauracracy that would surely get under-funded and under-staffed, while having a workload that gets larger and larger every year. Surely the downright inundation of the USPTO serves as a warning against this sort of action.
I'm not arguing that the current or the former system was any damn good, either...Just be careful what you wish for.;-)
I'm all about the HIG-enabled stuff. I dig it a lot...In most cases. I think the HIG-powered windows are great when you're going through your ~/, but I think it stinks when you're going across to other parts of the FS, like/usr/lib/gettext.
Plus, I think it'd be outstanding if I could simply get different desktop pics for my different workspaces. As it is now, you can't. Isn't part of the HIG to make it as intuitive as possible? However, we can't know what workspace we're looking at unless we look at the little applet on the taskbar. Having different images (like in *cough* KDE), would be fantastic.
C'mon, guys. Learn from the mistakes of others that came before you and stop trying to market this crap. My gramma wouldn't even get a WebTV (which had a pretty decent-sized marketing push) because she can spot crap a mile away.
Is it just me or has building weird things out of Legos become about as original as posting half-eaten food on eBay?
Anyway, here's another one that I built 3 years ago. Someone said it'd be a hassle taking this to LANs, but I took mine to about 30 LANs. It was stable, self-supportive, and didn't require anything but gravity to hold itself nice and tight. I took it apart a few months ago. It had become a bit passe already.

I prefer gnome over the other choices (too many to list) because for the most part, stuff just works. However, I for one wouldn't mind seeing the ability to put different desktop pics on my seperate workspaces. Maybe this functionality is available now...If so, it's not easy to find.
I've been running linux on the desktop for about 6 months now. I like the spatial nautilis for stuff in my home dir, but once you get outside of there, the spatial paradigm doesn't make much sense. I mean, I don't really go to/usr/lib/autoconf very often, so it's having it's own position, size, and layout doesn't really make much sense.
I have 3 nfs shares from a filesharing machine that are all media...Movies, pictures, etc. It's very nice for me to have the spatial paradigm for these because they are commonly accessed, and I get some additional feedback from intuitively knowing where they are, etc.
There's positives and negatives about both paradigms, and I think each has their place. I think it would be great if there was a button or something in the basic preference panels to turn it on and off...Even better would be the ability to set general rules like "if not in my home directory, use the browser interface", etc.

A /. article where we shouldn't hear a whole bunch of "RTFA" posts. ;-)
WTFM? Dunno if that's as catchy.

Dear United States Navy. We're sorry about causing your ship to lose propulsion due to a buffer overrun in our OS. We have pre-emptively decided to reimburse your $5 for your troubles. *oops* Hey, you can always as the Swedish navy about their experiences. ;-)

If MS keeps capitalizing 'Internet' and Wired stops capitalizing 'internet', will we have a new war...Perhaps this is the E/etiquette wars?
