Isn't manga/anime just a transference of pedophilia from real children to child like drawings? I notice you want to send up a crew of young people to - whatever it is you want them to do. Just how young did you have in mind? Prepubescent, at least, right?
"Aren't crime novels just a transference of killer tendencies from real people to written stories? I notice that crime novels do not universally condemn killers. " It's called art. The human mind comes up with all kinds of stuff and searches for ways to deal with them. You should as well.
The AC complained that window buttons on the left only work with a global menu, which is exactly what Unity has. I didn't discuss how good or bad, or how innovative this decision was.
Yes, mac has their buttons on the left, and it works great for them. However, you'll notice that windows in OSX don't have menu bars--the title bar at the top of the screen changes based on the selected window.
Ah ok, got it with the server, sorry for my confusion. I don't have any experience with that.
I am sure that I did a new install, yes. I had upgraded this machine through several Ubuntu releases and wanted to evaluate Unity without possible gconf cruft and whatnot. Screenshot.
Grandma has no business upgrading a computer if she has no clue. Do you really suggest that it is possible to explain what is going on in an understandable way to someone who simply does not know the necessary basics? If you can do that you should become a UI designer, you will revolutionize the world and make a lot of money.
I know that my Nvidia experience does not mean much, but neither does your ATI experience. Both are anecdotes, and without hard data it's impossible to say.
Dude, you are looking for how to change your login options, how hard can it be? Searching for gdm works as well, FWIW. Yeah sure it could be handled even more obvious, but it's not the black magic you make it out to be.
Your evident inability to come to an informed decision before upgrading your OS and all applications is regrettable, but I'm not sure if we really can make Ubuntu responsible. If you buy a new car do you insist that the sales clerk explicitly warns you that exterior, interior, behavior, and controls may be different to your old car? Are you able to do a test drive before buying to make sure you like what you buy?
A buggy open OpenGL driver is only in so far related to the validity of a UI design decision as we may ask whether the UI design took into account real-world hardware problems to a sufficient degree. I cannot answer that without hard data. As I said elsewhere, my MacBook Pro with Nvidia card worked very well. You are aware that if the card/driver does not claim to support OpenGL, Ubuntu does not try to use it, right? I had problems in Windows as well where I could not run an app due to DirectX driver bugs despite the vendor claiming that it works. I cannot rule out that a card/driver bug could also trip up windows
You are installing a bare-bones server system with the live CD? Seriously? Oh I see, your "bare-bones server system" has a desktop. Oh well. What you seem to miss is that the network option (if true) is not required to get any additional packages, it just ensures that bugfixed packages are available if necessary.
As for multitouch I can't comment since it's new to me and I don't care for or know the convention. No interface to modify it is true, but then this is a first for multitouch to be available at all in a Linux distro, no? 2-finger scroll works for me and the option is right there in my mouse preferences, like it always was in recent releases.
so now, due to the wikileaks embarrassment, we have government departments adjusting their policies, discouraging information sharing and keeping their info segregated
Sorry, but to me it's very obvious that I find the configuration where I find everything else, in the Ubuntu/BFB menu, and in the same way. You can also use the Applications button on the launcher, and choose System in the menu. Seems quite unsurprising to me. (Putting the System Settings into the menu of the top right power button is retarded though, it should have gone into the Dash (the menu that opens when you press the BFB)
Glitched OpenGL is a problem but it's completely unrelated to the discussion at hand. Also, unless it's a free driver it's really the fault of your hardware vendor most likely. I was lucky, my Nvidia card worked out of the box with the proprietary drivers, and during alpha testing I ran nouveau with 3D enabled and it worked really well. I realize that this is just anecdotal, but still worth mentioning.
The install does not "require" this, but offers it for updates in quite clear words, and 600 MB for an OS *and* a whole bunch of applications is really small. How many office suites, media databases, etc. are on a Windows install CD? (I suppose not even Windows fits on a CD). Can't comment about your other complaints as it worked for me incl. multitouch
Just as a counter anecdote, I've been running Unity on a MacBook Pro 5,4 (that's early 2009 version I think) since around alpha 2. At first there were no Nvidia drivers that worked with the new X, so I ran nouveau with 3d (took one apt-get). It was a bit unstable of course, but not in the slightest unusable for non-critical stuff. Since the proprietary drivers were released, and Unity progressed, I have seen no crashes since before beta.
I wiped and reinstalled for the release (the installation had been upgraded through all Ubuntu releases since first install), and it has been rock solid since. The laptop completely worked nearly completely out of the box including wifi, keyboard lights, multitouch (I never would have expected that, and Unity has nice touch gestures and other neat interaction design, see http://ubuntu-news.org/2011/04/21/the-power-user%E2%80%99s-guide-to-unity/), resume/suspend, etc. An nvidia driver bug requires a one-line xorg.conf entry to make screen brightness keys work, which was not required in Maverick. That sucks and I would have thought that Ubuntu would be able to fix that in the xorg.conf they install, but a bug report remains unfixed so far.
Unity definitely has rough edges, and stuff is missing (more indicators and stuff to replace what else I had in the panel, I really miss the revelation password manager applet) but at the 15" screen size I do like it in principle.
If you have a multitouch pad (works out of the box e.g. with MacBook Pro 5,x versions, probably others as well but I haven't tried), try 4 finger swipe. This and other nice interaction details (not all about multitouch, but many of those that are are actually very discoverable even for me as a touch device noob) can be found here: http://ubuntu-news.org/2011/04/21/the-power-user%E2%80%99s-guide-to-unity/
it's also a not easy to find configurable option. no "use this as your DEFAULT session" checkbox. you have to choose it every time you log in OR find the obscure and now really hard to find configuration program to set it as the default.
It's in the basement behind a locked door that has a signthat reads, " beware of the Unity"
Ubuntu button (i.e., BFB in top-left corner) -> Dash -> Search -> "login"? So really tough!

It's called art. The human mind comes up with all kinds of stuff and searches for ways to deal with them. You should as well.
Oh that's fine then :)
Expressing a conservative opinion is difficult Slashdot as well.
That's bullshit, plain and simple.

Um, I guess you don't have used Unity
I like it on my 15" laptop
are there "action paintings"?
Well ...

I must admit I did connect because it seemed a good idea to get latest bugfixes during installation. If the installer screen lied to me that this was optional, then this guy is wrong as well: http://ubuntu-install.blogspot.com/2011/05/ubuntu-114-installation-tips.html

You may agree or not, but that is precisely Assange's stated goal, http://cryptome.org/0002/ja-conspiracies.pdf
As someone said above, getting encryption right is terribly hard, and bugs have gone unnoticed for long stretches of time in the past.

Didn't like it the first time and probably won't like it when Canonical makes a bad copy.
When Kristian HÃgsberg started the Wayland project he worked at Red Hat and I think he's now at Intel.
When people refer to the "Windows OS", they are really talking about NTOSKRNL.EXE? I don't think so.
