Yeah, but the alternative to that was KDE... you could spend days in the configuration screens trying to figure out what color you wanted the right border of a single button. (I exaggerate, but that's how it felt to me.)
Been using Ubuntu for about 4 years now and I'm wondering if you are referring to the development branch or the LTS releases... because I have not had problems with memory leaks or video card drivers getting "clobbered."
There's not a whole lot of "tweaking" involved in right clicking a bar, unlocking it, and dragging it to the bottom of the screen. You also don't have to do it every time you reboot, so it's a one time "fix."
Heck, I drag my Windows taskbar at work up to the top... (that's less mousing around from file menus to window titles. I never understood having the task bar on the bottom of the screen in Windows or Linux. I usually remove the bar at the bottom of Ubuntu and put the Window manager in the top bar.) It's also a lot easier to edit layouts in Linux than making edits to some of the other Windows 7 interface choices that require digging into the registry (like removing the search, "command bar," and tweaking window borders.)
The process I explained isn't for distributing apps though... I'm collecting results from each workstation (usually multiple results.) The workstation upload files to an FTP server which I download to process.
Yeah, we have an internal FTP server that accepts and stores an average of 60,000 files per day from workstations all over the company. My import job cleans them off after 9 days so at any point in time we have over half a million files sitting on the server. If I had to deal with all those files in SMB or across a share, I'd have to wait hours to be able to do anything with them.
You missed his point... you can't really blame Safari for passing the URL to the OS to let it open whatever application is associated with ftp:// protocol links. That's the whole idea behind prefixing http:/// and ftp:// in the first place.
The problem lies in the fact that this particular installation OSX likely doesn't have a program installed that can handle writing to ftp:// links.
Shiva plug with a HP sticker on it and it will go unnoticed for months.
There's a ton of truth in that... I recently walked into an office and noticed an odd outlet sized box on the ceiling with no significant markings, some slots and two LEDs (one lit red.)
Nobody that I asked knew what it was, including building maintenance... and nobody bothered to look where the cable was going. It was joked that it was a spying device (owned by the company) to monitor workers.
My workplace uses a proxy for all internet traffic so they can control who has access outside the WAN and Adblock is the only way I can avoid slamming up against twitter and facebook domains (in sidebars usually) which red-flag my account.
Solutions need to be supported at work, just as much as at home.
If we decided to kill all plans because someone further down the line might use such technology for nefarious purposes... we'd still be living in caves and eating whatever is lying around. I mean, why use sharpened rocks or sticks that could possibly be used to hurt someone?
If recent events proved anything, your sign should be as racist and negative as possible if you want someone to read it. Unfortunately, they will only react negative and it will hurt the cause you think you are supporting.
If you don't do that, there's very little sense standing out there if the news organization don't agree with your message.
What about people like my father who collect scrap from their work (with employer approval?) He currently brings home removed cable and cut ends and throws them in a barrel.
Will he have to go get a special license just to sell the barrel of scrap copper he's been collecting?
#20... #99 is (extra-territorial)... which is what information press experiences in other countries. (Think, Press in China for instance... they abide by local law so it stands to reason that US journalists in China would have less freedom.)
Slashdot Mirror
I'm waiting for the proxy search engine that provides auto-completed popular "pirate terms" then just queries Google for the results.

That's fine and all, but it should show (Score:3 Funny) on his because there IS a funny mod. It's not simply an Underrated mod.
If you look at his mod though, it's marked funny and has +1 karma (for 3 points with my preferences) and it does not show "Funny"

(I think it was a sensor for the HVAC...)
After I experience a bas taste I immediately seek ...
...something to get the fishy taste out of my mouth.
Maybe they used them to get sap from trees and cut vegetable easier. ;)
(I just dislike when people attribute tools being shunned because someone may use them improperly.)
I'm not talking about anonymous proxies.
My workplace uses a proxy for all internet traffic so they can control who has access outside the WAN and Adblock is the only way I can avoid slamming up against twitter and facebook domains (in sidebars usually) which red-flag my account.

Hosts files are ignored if you are on a proxy.

But what if my children are exposed to the hateful words being passed around in all this!?
Your openness is causing my property value to go down!

"Happier"... or blissfully ignorant of any other option? (not meant to be offensive)
I'm waiting for the story about how Microsoft meant their phone to be open and how they support the movement.
US Gov't, through one of it's shadowy connections
Why do they need shadowy connections? Surely they can decent broadband.
I thought it was common knowledge that decent broadband is only available in a few major cities...

Same here. Heck, "The Founding Fathers" of the country were terrorists.
"Terrorism" is the new "Wolf." ;)
