(7) Documentation that doesn't have to change over time...in other words, if you want it to look like a commercial OS distribution, you have to approach it as one. And that's not happening.
As one of the maintainers of the docs for a commercially-supported Open Source product, I'd like to inform you that this is one of the funniest things I've read all week.
This is an OpenSUSE 13.2 system I'm using, and it definitely has a/var/log/messages, a/var/log/mail, and all the other stuff you'd normally expect to see in/var/log..
Having used both of the weather-related extensions and having given up on them, I can confirm both that I am not a script and that M Bytehead is spot-on.
And don't get me started about the nauseating and broken default UI and the fact that every time I find a theme that takes care of most of these issues, it's usually just a few weeks before the next FF release declares it "obsolete".
If I wanted to use Chrome, I'd use Chrome... Opera is no longer distinctive in any meaningful way... Gee, I never thought I'd see the day when I started wishing that Microsoft would port IE to Linux, but I'm starting to think I might start doing so sometime soon.
We sure as hell don't use "special developer builds" for testing/QA where I work. We build from exactly the same sources and in exactly the same way as for what we ship.
I'm still pissed about them moving the tab bar to the top of the UI, thereby throwing the tab paradigm right out the window, and forcing me to go find a hack to get back what was perfectly sensible and should never have been changed like that in the first place.
I'm forced to hack extensions almost weekly because the default for each new release is simply to declare all existing extensions "outdated/incompatible" when this is obviously not true in the vast majority of cases.
It's almost as if someone said, "Now that we've lured in all these users, let's see how much abuse they'll take before they leave again."
Many people go so far as to consider taxation theft, and avoidance patriotic.
IOW, many people are self-centred twats.
BTW, I live in a country with one of the highest rates of taxation on the planet (Sweden), and my taxes actually *decreased* a couple of years ago--in the same year that I received a bonus that should otherwise have resulted in me paying about 10% *more*.
So much for your entertaining little theory Which is, as I said, entertaining, but not even worthy of modding down.
Explain to me who actually runs Suse again, desktop or otherwise? I migrated our Blackboard cluster at work off of that piece of shit and transitioned to Redhat Enterprise, as did most of the other enterprise admins in my state.
I've been running it for the last ten years.
(You didn't mention the state. That's probably wise.)
Slashdot Mirror
Your point stands, but are you aware of Classic Theme Restorer extension? It undoes most of the australis idiocy.
Indeed I am.
And I have it installed. While I still can, it seems.
I know two people back in the States who caught polio before the vaccine against it became widely available in the rural areas where they grew up.
Each of these guys has one arm that looks perfectly normal, and one that looks like it quit growing when he was a kid.
You might feel differently, but I'm mighty glad my folks got me vaccinated.

Eh? My Linux machines have been auto-mounting USB storage devices without issue for about ten years now.
Burn the witch!
She turned me into a newt!
But I got better.
I happen to run both of those, and I've never had any boot/reboot issues with either one.
Still don't like systemd very much, though.
It's not just Gnome3 and systemd--it's the Gnome3/systemd "we know what you want better than you do" mindset that is troubling.
My point being that this shouldn't be a requirement, hello?
Just because you can't think of other use cases for extensions doesn't mean there aren't any.

This is not a good solution for developers who need to test against the stable release builds.
I would have said, simply, "This is not a solution."
We sure as hell don't use "special developer builds" for testing/QA where I work. We build from exactly the same sources and in exactly the same way as for what we ship.
...the problem is that they don't even allow users to override it.
This, this, and again fucking THIS.

Dracos does not have a particularly low UID, and you seem not to have much of anything resembling manners.
Have you ever actually tried to build FF from source? It's horrid.
When it's as easy to build FF from source as it is, say, MySQL, you can get back to me.
It's smart to minimise one's tax obligations. Portraying it as some sort of sacred duty is a bit over the top, though.
No need for crippled code. Just users.
Gnome was never "awesome".
...Shanghai (hence the name)...
*snort*
"Shanghai" means "on the ocean". The rest of your assertions are also highly suspect.

What is a brick of cash, anyway?
Something you needn't concern yourself with. (If you were rich, you'd know.)

Another satisfied Firefox user, I see.
(Put those Troll mods away--I've been using Firefox since before it was called "Firefox".)
