Heh, gratz for fixing that one. KDE is the best UNIX DE. Reasonably fast, relatively robust, smooth to use, and very configurable. Lots of nice apps and widgets to play with, too.
Maybe most recently published books are lamer than idle chitchat on Facebook?
Yeah. What I have thought sometimes is how anything that is ran through a spell checker and printed nicely between two covers becomes automatically some kind of cherished art. Books are nice, but it's almost automatically thought that reading a book is always a more proper and elegant thing to do than wasting your time reading "crap from the intertubez".
For a couple of weeks I tried being a DuckDuckGo rebel, but the search results were so often so much worse than of Google's that it eventually just got too clunky.
Focus on your applications, fellas; that's what's important.
This is a good point to remember us about every now and then. These days, there's huge wanking going around different UIs (not only on Linux) and we forget to concentrate on what we actually do with the computers.
Heh. I found Unity OK from a usability standpoint, but its probably the slowest desktop I've ever used. Windows 7/8 run circles around it, while MS used to be the bloat king a decade ago.
The glitchiness that you talk about really creeps me. It seems that Linux desktops usually can't reach the last mile to do the proper quality assurance to iron that crap out. No matter what DE we are talking about, this problem affects them all more or less.
I'm not sure if the quality of many cameras is high enough for retina authentication*. Someone might also show a picture of your eye in front of the camera and thus gain access. I still find your idea interesting and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
On the other hand, Google clearly has tendencies to move people towards an Internet ID, which they control. They want to join your GMail/YouTube account, use your Google account in your Android phone, sign in to the Chromium browser...
Well, why not, but just don't use the name of the service as part of the password, as in your example. Some malicious admin might then discover easily your passwords for other services.
That aluminum-cardboard fusion is kind of silly. If you made the sides of aluminum, why not throw a top and bottom cover from aluminum too. Or, then make the whole box out of cardboard.
However I think the use of cardboard is possibly quite smart idea (ecologically). I assume this is much harder cardboard than what you would find from typical cardboard boxes. Computers have relatively short use age anyway and do not get beaten much, so they do not need cases that last forever.
I, for one, would rather game on my phone which is faster and has a much higher resolution display, with a bluetooth connected game controller of my choice.
Hmm! I didn't know this was possible. How many games support it? Being limited to only touch screen kind of boxes you.

Mozilla also fixed an over decade old bug in Firefox 18 (prevent sending insecure requests from a secure context).

Wouldn't it be more interesting to make it work rather than immediately take the most nihilistic approach?
Portal 2 has a nice co-op mode (video), you solve the puzzles together. It could be fun.

Lollercoaster.
They want to keep the browser simple.

Just recently, in Lubuntu 12.04 I experienced a bug where the window minimization animation flew into the center of the screen instead of the taskbar.

But that rancid poo usually still works better than the Linux desktop of the month version 0.1.

I still find it odd how Java suddenly caught all the attention regarding security.
It could very well be possible to mod it. The uppercase menus don't bother me too much, but one could try overwriting them in hex editor as lowercase.

Good morning Vietnam.
I use f.lux too. Similar program for desktop Linux would be Redshift.
KDE is nice in this sense as it draws a shine around the window that is active.
Steely Dan, one of the best bands in the world...
Actually, VS 2012 also ships with a very nice dark theme. :)
studiostyl.es deserves also a mention. Changing colors inside VS is rather painful as the list is extremely long.
