Well, all software has problems. I just doubt that if problems were as prevalent as the vocal minority make out that PA would remain in the major distributions.

The thing is that this is a really dated opinion. While I realise that it was really painful for those months, the end result is that audio on Linux seems to work a hell of a lot better these days. By making Linux audio temporarily problema

Benefits to me as a desktop and laptop user of systemd. 1) Speed does matter. Fast boots are good. 2) The new journal is just better. Finding something in the logs is easier. 3) Service files are easier to write than init scripts and one ca

That's a shame. I just finished a uni module about bioinformatics. It seemed like a cool field where progress was being made, and as an undergraduate I could generate meaningful looking results by following very recent papers. I hope the fi

I look forward to the improvements. Beware the effect of being 'nearly there' with the natural language stuff though. Failures on queries that feel like they 'should work' can get annoying very quickly.

Rather than manually configuring iptables, save yourself some time and use UFW (the Uncomplicated FireWall) https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/firewall.html which is far easier and just as secure (and reduces the risk of misconfigu

You incorrectly assume malice on the part of the blog author. Frustration makes it easy to see the world as people who are for your position and others who are against your position. In this situation it seems far more likely that the autho

I did a course this semester at university about bioinformatics. I was very impressed by their attitude to knowledge sharing. Almost every paper referenced by our professor and any citations in those papers that I used were published online

They did the concept video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c6W4CCU9M4 I guess that's the long term goal. I haven't seen any real-world previews yet. I guess that's what is most exciting about the hardware going to developers soon, we shou

Just to backup what you're saying, I'm the generation you're talking about. I have a vague idea of my height in feet and inches, I drink pints of beer and I drive miles in the car. That's about it. People may as well be talking to me in a f

I find with these things that failure discourages me from using the service so I fall off whatever wagon immediately, rather than recording my failure. Any suggestions for working around that?

A lot of people are complaining about the 'God' concept introduced in the latter half of the post. I think a lot of this is that people are pattern-matching 'God' with the huge amount of baggage that the term has rightfully accumulated. I s

What languages do you write in though? I'll agree with that in terms of lots of languages, but I've tried writing Java and C# in text editors and that's just miserable without a full IDE. Would you agree? If not how do you survive in a less

I suppose mixed results are typical of beta software. Did you try it on a tablet or a mobile? Perhaps the dropped sentences happen more often on a smaller screen? (since the target areas are shrunk?)

..And it's really nice. I've only tested it on my Nexus 7 but the swiping motions are very smooth and nicely decorated. The 'never lift your finger from the screen' thing works very well, and its genuinely a really pleasant keyboard to use.

This is a real problem here, and has been for a while. I think it applies to comments too, quick easy to read and 'obvious' comments earn rapid upvotes, multiparagraph thoughtful pieces get ignored.
