"Indeed, but GNOME is infuriating. The user interface sucks.. full stop."
In your opinion, that is.
Fixed that....
Seriously, how long is this fad of people taking something that someone says and twisting it to their own preference going to last? It's really goddamn old already.
KDE is by the FAR AND ABOVE the SUPERIOR X WM...till KDE 4.x, when they screwed it up, possibly been repair.
Since KDE4 is the current version and the only one in wide use, any praise you may have stored to heap upon its predecessor... doesn't really matter, does it?
I seriously don't appreciate that you prefer a tainted and inferior X WM, and don't agree with any poll that includes a tainted WM to start.
Since you recognize that it's a preference, why does it matter if you appreciate it? And for that matter, who made you grand high lord and poobah of determining what's tainted or inferior?
I will give you the Dialup and the low resolution, at least provisionally, but if a site requires RealPlayer in this day and age its owners should be shot. Also, NESticle was outpaced years ago by FCE Ultra. Even Mednafen is more compatible. Both make NESticle look quite terrible.
Yeah! That's the attitude we need to make Linux user friendly!
Except there's an actual case to be made that the OP is an idiot, as much of what he considers problematic is hopelessly outdated, even in Windows. RealPlayer? Nesticle? Does Netscape even run a dial-up ISP anymore? Gaming in 640x480? This sounds like a rehashed troll post from 1996, and despite his tacked-on claims to the contrary it should be treated as such.
when i was growing up, no one had this problem, but now it seems that it is almost commonplace. is this a symptom of something we've done lately (to our food source perhaps), or a symptom of me just not getting exposed to news sources as a kid?
Oh come on, even Americans know there are more than two people in India! There are at least four doing tech support alone! Unless 'Jeff', 'Brian', 'Mike', and 'Tim' are all the same person...
While Windows 7 is stable, how you can say it's more stable than XP?
I haven't seen XP crash in years.
Neither have I.
However, that could be because i haven't used XP in years.
Smartass comments aside, from SP2 on, XP was remarkably solid, assuming you had a damn shred of common sense and didn't click on every suspicious-looking link under the sun.
What in the holy hell do people who make costumes have to do with any of this? I would be more concerned about the banks blaming things on their customers.
Ah, the old "I'm going to mistake chubby for fat, willfully ignoring that chubby actually DOES fall between skin-and bones and fat, so there's absolutely no reason for me to be posting" trick. Good one!
But can you get a replacement "super" key for a Dell Inspiron 1420 with the Ubuntu logo rather than the Windows logo? Buying a Dellbuntu is nice, and they don't put any Windows stickers on it, but that damn key is still there...
You assume the same people are posting on the GPL stories as well as the copyright stories, but this isn't the case most of the time. Slashdot's "readership" is made up of so many faucets your blanket statement is silly at best.
With so many faucets on/., I'd be more concerned that his blanket statement will get wet.

I'm more worried about a potential attack by Replicators.

Reading. It's a beautiful thing.

In some way, this is all Jimmy Carter's fault.
He said communist, not socialist.

ME TOO!
"Do you see it hash?"
"Do you see it sharp?"
"Do you see it pound?"
Try picking a symbol without so many accepted names.
The cage has been out for many years now. Is this the cage or is it something completely different. or a different cut of the cage?
Really? You couldn't even read the summary? Or even comments above yours? It's an alternate version of "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
Probably someone who needs to run Mac programs. Just a guess.
If a person actually needs to run Mac programs, he or she should probably just break down and buy a Mac.
Wow, you guys don't even have a plan for this bad joke thread, do you? Probably best to just wing it, anyway...

It is also interesting to note that, in Japan, the criminal conviction rate is 99.8%.
And as everyone knows, the 0.2% that are acquitted have Phoenix Wright as their attorney.
Also, if you can dig up anyone that was born in Colonial America your other remark might be more meaningful.
While we could certainly dig one up, I don't think he or she would be very talkative, plus I'm *pretty* sure we'd break a few laws in the process.
No, their *embroidery* machines do actually connect to a PC, and require drivers. See this (admittedly mind numbing) video.

It was a dumb episode. The only folks who use Flash fullscreen are people watching online porn. :)
Or Hulu, or CBS, or NBC... yeah, there are a lot of uses for fullscreen Flash that don't involve porn.
I understand, it's embarrassing to admit to watching professional wrestling...
Awesome, now people can rehash their old P4 jokes that weren't funny the first time around!

So... you recommend Python?

Did you perhaps mean 'facets'?
