    thank god

  2. Re:No, it's not HTML5. It's just junk. on Average Web Page Approaches 1MB · · Score: 3, Insightful

    let's just use 1 acronym for all that, BWC. Bloated Web Crapware

  3. Re:Why doesn't Gnome get it? on Linux Mint Developer Forks Gnome 3 · · Score: 1

    haha, if you identify with GNOME designers you are truly a fringe whackjob. Yes, I believe you and them truly love GNOME 3. Meanwhile, normal people with work to do absolutely HATE it. All my Linux and BSD desktop friends hate it (yes, I have more than a dozen of those)

  4. Re:Awesome. on Linux Mint Developer Forks Gnome 3 · · Score: 1

    it's worse than that, GNOME 3 makes a tablet seem like a cheap cell phone. fuck GNOME 3. the highest and best use of a GNOME 3 developer is to cut them up for chum

  5. Re:i want to fork Gnome too... on Linux Mint Developer Forks Gnome 3 · · Score: 1

    but that has steep inhuman resource requirements. when you need a video card with more RAM than the slightly aged hardware has for main memory, it's time to look for a new desktop manager. fuck KDE

  6. Re:Yeah!!!! on Linux Mint Developer Forks Gnome 3 · · Score: 1

    uselessness sucks, unneeded eye candy sucks, brittle configuration needing developed apps for what used to be simple configuration by user sucks, bloat without benefit sucks. To sum up KDE and GNOME suck.

  7. Re:Long-Term? on Linux Mint Developer Forks Gnome 3 · · Score: 1

    not the solution, now you need *developers* for what used to be very simple user configuration actions. Let's use a bad car analogy, your GNOME 3 is like having a car that needs three co-pilots.

  8. good people are noticing on Ask Slashdot: Assembling a Linux Desktop Environment From Parts? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's good people are noticing that the Linux desktop is largely going to hell, being destroyed by developers ignorant of user needs working in a vacuum. It's good people want to come up with solutions to giving the user control of workflow and configuration. Things were looking bleak.

    That's an ignorant elitist point of view. I'm typing on a laptop with 1GB of ram and 1.8GHz processor. KDE is too bloated for this machine.

  10. Re:Queue the screams of hysteria on The Fjord-Cooled Data Center · · Score: 0

    no, the waste heat of civilization compared to even the variability of the Sun's output is a gnat's fart in a hurricane. It's the action of the dominant greenhouse gas on earth that's the question. And no, it's not carbon dioxide. The truth is (and look it up), despite the billions of dollars and euros and yen, we don't even know the percent of contribution to greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide, whether 5% OR 25% (and therefore the models are nonsense). But water vapor IS the dominant greenhouse gas, that we know.

    when they make a book into movie, it's via a lot of tired hackneyed oft-repeated tropes and memes. 98% of hollywood movies are crap

    Hollywood has been stuck in the rut of rehashing (usually poorly) old ideas and movies for 20 years.

  16. Re:So all 5 of you running Safari on Windows on New Remote Flaw In 64-Bit Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    wrong. This is made possible by data overflowing in using win32k.sys causing memory corruption. Safari is just showing the problem, other wares using the .sys could do it too

  17. Re:Headline.. Flaw in APPLE Safari for windows fou on New Remote Flaw In 64-Bit Windows 7 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    article text: "The vulnerability is caused due to an error in win32k.sys and can be exploited to corrupt memory". It is Microsoft's usual sloppy coding and lax security being the root cause of making safari problem possible.

  18. Re:Does anyone read anymore? on New Remote Flaw In 64-Bit Windows 7 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Don't you read anymore? "The vulnerability is caused due to an error in win32k.sys and can be exploited to corrupt memory". This is Microsoft buggy code causing issue, Safari problem is merely one way to cause rooting of machine, other softwares using this service will undoubtedly provide more cases.

    wouldn't it be cheaper to hire domestic flashers from the ranks of the homeless and give them overcoats or raincoats? or do they want to insure their flashers all have circumcised peckers when they expose themselves?

  22. Re:Damn Apple and its unbridled success on Apple Buys Israeli Flash Manufacturer · · Score: 1

    Apple uses a mix of closed and open source wares. Come to think of it, so do I on my Linux box (vmware workstation, flash, windows codecs, nvidia driver). I'd rather they all be open source, but things are working well enough. I don't have a religious rage that theings aren't 100% the way I wish they were. Of course, you have proprietary softwares in your computer too (bios, embedded roms, etc.) and in many of your household appliances and vehicles.

    that's hardly an indicator of seriousness. someone could maintain awesome karma and post some rubbish every two weeks, with a 4 digit slashdot UID. This could be some drunkard's get rich quick scheme. Four, five, or six digit slashdot UID, excellent karma, and $4 will get you a latte at StarBucks.
