    I suppose the yellow tape was meant to divide the corridors into two lanes,

    Urban myth.
    The fact that they're different things does not

    Indeed.

  9. and DevHelp is less help than hinder too... on Developers May Be Getting 50% of Their Documentation From Stack Overflow · · Score: 1

    For years now DevHelp (various Linux distributuons) been lacking such a fundamental
    as ButtonRight-menu where you can copy/paste.

    Reading/browsing documentation I always find myself doing so with mouse-in-hand, so
    that kind of popup menu is almost second nature, and it should be just standard in any
    GUI. Yet DevHelp developers don't seem to know this. Or simply dont' care, what with
    the issue being reported maybe two years ago already by yours truly.

    Actually, that's pretty funny.
    Because when you visit the Ubuntu sites,
    you'll be hard pressed to find any mention
    of (the word) Linux.

  25. Re:Will they just go away? on Canonical Announcing Ubuntu Tablet Tomorrow? · · Score: 1

    Well you're right in one aspect.
    Ubuntu gave me the choice to run fast away to Linux Mint.

    In all seriousness. 'having choice' in general is something
    that is supposed to be BENEFICIAL to a customer in such
    a way as to keep that customer and keep them happy.

    Ubuntu is one of the execptions where 'having a choice',
    as you so obligingly put it, means a kick in the groin.

    Thanks for your time.
