Regarding client side decorations: Lots of Windows applications draw on it. I now the technical separation of window manager vs toolkit. It's nice that you can always close the window. But practically speaking, CSD gives me way more sp

I mostly disagree with you entirely. Client side decorations give way more space to the actual content than to waste space for an almost empty titlebar. It allows to combine the titlebar with content from the application itself. You regard

What's your experience based upon? Sales and marketing are often heavy Excel users from what I've seen. Even with the uptake of Salesforce (seems to be used more and more), you still have lots of Excel users. HR is usually a tiny

If you have to make up a lot of points to make your argument, maybe you don't have an argument? Ranting about "entitled generation", a supposed contract and small bloggers having a huge hosting bill doesn't do you much g

If you pay for a new vessel, the owner will resell the old one and it'll get reused. What has happened in recent years is that (mainly) Europe and U.S. has employed stricter regulations. If you enforce this strictly, then it'll be

The regulations have increased heavily in recent years. E.g. near the U.S. and Europe. It's not just close to port anymore. See e.g. http://www.joc.com/maritime-news/shippers-brace-low-sulfur-f... for details. Sma

In Netherlands they coordinated it. Any machine which switched from swipe to dip has their swipe covered with sticky tape. Before that they replaced the bank cards with one with both chip and magnetic strip on it. There was a deadline for m

Change your PIN? The problem with bank cards is when you swipe then, not if you dip them. Interestingly, the NFC bank cards are practically more safe because (at least in my country) you don't need to enter your PIN below 25 EUR. With

This really depends on the city. Go to any Asian city where people have loads of scooters and motor bikes. These take up way less space than a car. You'll see that the roads cannot handle the traffic at all. From my impression US is ve

Always staying with the status quo won't help as well. But taxing in accordance with income would help a lot. And I mean the effective tax, not before loads of discounts are applied. Same for taxing companies. The bigger ones usually d

RHEL6 starts upstarts, but doesn't make use of any of the functionality. Everything is sysvinit scripts and zero (upstart) jobs. I was administrating a few RHEL6 machines and had to read elsewhere about the change to even notice it. Th

They invited journalists to present exactly this. It's pretty clear. You don't randomly invite journalists just to show off that you can host something.

That would give them a permanent unfair advantage over small and medium sized companies. In my country such companies employs loads of people.

That's why it has to be done across many countries so global companies cannot play one country against another. Your assumption that there are only two options doesn't apply.

Same for Netherlands. Diesel is only cheaper if you drive a lot. Owning a diesel car is much more expensive tax wise. So in practice people driving short trips do not own a diesel car.

If that complexity isn't exposed, then it isn't more complicated. Lots of init scripts used to be quite different across distributions and very long. Nowaways the systemd unit files are shipped upstream and you just package them.

Ehr, that's exactly how it used to be. Various sysvinit scripts that all differed across distributions. It's pretty appalling the way you respond though, just dismissing instead of trying to educate. I'm reading along and I h

Though you seem to want systemd to start things in the same order each time and have it be predictable, that's pretty impossible. Systemd works more on the basis of "this happened; what should be done now?". Seems adding some

You're quoting a troll as reference for "anyone with a clue". Further, you're referencing that the systemd Debian maintainer quit on the harassment in the systemd discussion because he wanted systemd _in Debian_. Linus c

Suggest to just ask various distributions nicely if they could package xdg-app. Especially the ones that you target and/or use frequently. I quite like the idea behind xdg-app and I've packaged xdg-app for Mageia Cauldron (think F

It would be great to still file bugreports for anything you think could be improved in e.g. a distribution. I help out with Mageia. There's often various things which are simply overlooked or people aren't aware of. Obviously your
