  2. Re:Error in map on World Map Shows Countries Requiring Open Source Software (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1
    That's indeed a bad map :
    • "No data" and "no law" shouldn't be in the same category
    • The map key is badly ordered
  3. Still trying on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1
    I've been trying hard to switch since 2000... Currently I dual boot (Mint and XP) because :
    • Video editing is a joke on Linux (apps crash, can't control the camera via Firewire,...) -> Vegas
    • Photo management on Linux is poor (digikam is so slow, non-intuitive and unable to geotag Canon raw images, Picasa with Wine is ugly and doesn't allow geotagging) -> Picasa/Photoshop
    • I can't seem to find a reliable UPNP DLNA server that works with my all devices -> Foobar
    • Banshee crashes on some songs -> Foobar

    But I can't live without :

    • a powerful commandline
    • an update infrastructure
    • a huge software repository
