How rude. Sometimes idealism isn't practical. Idealism is a goal, not an absolute.

The site is totally borked for me. Do I have to run it within Gnome 3?

I've always used alt+F2 to launch apps that I already know are installed on my system. I find menus are great for browsing/scanning applications that I don't know. And they are quick to use. Whereas the app menus in Gnome 3, are really h

This government keeps shooting itself in the foot. If only I was young enough to flee.

I certainly hope so, though fear not.

App stores can suck too, think Blackberry. You don't have to resort to the command line to install packages. Synaptic just needs a little freshen up that's all. I far prefer it to Ubuntu's software centre. A load of crap icons and scree

Some of the bloat could be dealt with by the file system. If you download a library you already have, then simply discard it - and make do with a reference. What I'd like to see, is the possibility of having multiple versions of software a

On the flip side, I override a site's design (I usually keep the layout), and apply my own styles - and I'm glad to say that the web is a much better place for me as a result. I gain in having a more consistent experience across the web.

What is broken here is surely package management in general? I'd like to use one tool. If you don't want files system wide - then perhaps that should be an option in the package management system. It would seem silly and wasteful to have d

Php does have a pretty smart tool chain to be fair in the way of php modules.

Sadly I don't think the scans are their to protect lives, but rather to protect the machinery (and the industry.) Planes are expensive. It's trivial to kill people elsewhere. I just loathe the rhetoric.

+1 for the Trachtenberg system. I only wish we were taught these methods at school, in addition to the 'normal' way...

I thought the 'web 2' domain names came about, as most dictionary words had been taken. Take a dictionary word and make a small alteration - so that it is no longer a dictionary word - and it's likely you have something unique. Search engi

Sounds like you want instant gratification! How about watching something else while you order the DVD?

I can't find info on mounting a Skydrive via webdav from Linux. You sure about this? http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?threadid=cac1c1ae-b78...

Switching keyboard layouts and language settings under Windows and on other Desktop OSs I find something of a minefield. It should be easy to just jump on somebody elses machine and change language and keyboard settings mid session, and at

I thought that was common knowledge - that with drinking - you have in general poorer sleep. It's rather insidious.

It's pretty blissful when the sound of the traffic evaporates. Always the best time for coding for me.

I must be seriously broken. I can even enjoy a cup of coffee at the bedside and still sleep. Not that I do that often. Falling asleep for me is easy. I pretty much always wake up about four hours later. Then sometimes I remain wide awak

Can someone possibly paraphrase the new privacy policy? Or at least point out significant changes please.

Sorry to ask, but why did HP stop producing these? Are they still sold new in other countries?

I was thinking as a glasses wearer - that I'd be excluded from the product. Have you tried to wear 3D glasses over your existing pair? I wonder how lightweight they'll be, especially if you factor in batteries.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Ignoring the legalities - the motivation is that people like to collect and share things of interest. Sites like pinterest are probably more alluring and easier to use than compiling and sharing a list of URL
