I think watching an HFR feels like watching a play. But I'm not. I'm watching a movie. I cannot imagine watching a non-live play on a screen and feel at all connected to the characters or the narrative.

It's unfortunate there is not a 2D HFR version; I'd like to sample future technology without present anti-features.

People are not used to a search area that looks up local AND internet resources. Furthermore, AFAIK, thre is no obvious "local only" search box to act as an alternative to this global one. It's a combination of user expectations of a local

So many people in this thread are saying they highlight sections of text as they read. I don't do that, and no-one I know does that. What is the benefit? Is it intentional, or is it a habit with no real use?

DAE think that the whole "BGP is broken!" argument is a bit overblown? If you're going to have a bunch of autonomous systems/networks operating together, with no central authority, it necessarily comes down to trust and relationships. Shit

Everyone has their own preferred setup, and that's great! It's part of what makes FOSS great: Your choice. My choice is Xubuntu. I've been using Xubuntu on my laptop for the past 6 months, and the 12.10 beta for the past two. The link below
