Here here. Chrome's tab handling is a nightmare. I hope FF4 will give me a reason to switch back and get access to what should be simple things (vertical tab lists) but appear to be difficult to provide in Chrome.

I don't know about you, but using Chrome has always given me this unsettling feeling that somewhere in Google's server farm, a machine is collecting everything I do and linking it to my other activity (gmail, gdocs, etc). It might now actua

Sheesh. Listen, I'm a rubyist as much as anyone and have a number of commercial ruby/rails projects under my belt, but I've also done Java for more than a decade. This willingness by rubyists to piss on Java is quite silly. Java as a langua

Yes, it's called WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/index.php . It makes the remote filesystem appear as if it's just a local filesystem (if you choose the explorer interface type).

Regarding a better default terminal app, I use Terminator ( http://www.tenshu.net/terminator/ ). It's by far the best terminal I've found and far superior (imho) to ITerm2 on the mac. apt-get install terminator and spend some time looking a

The biggest annoyance for me has to be the fact that the gnome panel constantly seems to get confused on the order in which icons and gadgets should appear. I'll spend 30 minutes getting the notification area, icons, menus, etc arranged jus

I truly believe Ubuntu is missing a huge opportunity regarding apt repository statistics. They should be able to track (at least on the mirrors they control) each time a user installs a particular package. Collecting these sorts of statist

Same here. Perhaps I'm not as sensitive to most regarding spacing, etc, or perhaps I'm just not sophisticated enough to recognize the shortcomings, but my Ubuntu desktop experience is just fine, and seems to improve with every release.

Desktop sharing with Compiz enabled. Currently you can share an Ubuntu desktop (System->Preferences->Remote Desktop) easily, but viewing these shared desktops doesn't work with any of the regular VNC clients (vinagre, xtightvncviewe

It sounds like the problem you both have is a high sense of entitlement for something that the license doesn't entitle you to have...why is Red Hat at fault for asking you to pay for something that wasn't at all free or easy to create?
525.
by rufugee 16y ago
How exactly is RedHat not showing a commitment to open source? Do they invest in open source? CHECK. Do they contribute to the adoption of open source? CHECK. Are they abiding by the open source licenses that govern the use of the open sour

I believe this is what Aptana's Jaxer ( http://jaxer.org/ ) tried to do. It didn't exactly take the world by storm...but perhaps it was too early...

Not to mention that it appears to do absolutely nothing on Linux with Chrome...it's just blank.

Actually, as mentioned here already, you don't have to go native if you're writing a game. You can use Corona with great success, or Unity3D if you're going the 3D route.

by rufugee 16y ago
One of the nice things about Appcelerator, as opposed to Corona, is that it's open source and they have guides (iOS: http://guides.appcelerator.com/en/module_ios.html , Android: http://developer.appcelerator.com/guides/en/module_android.h

I think I could probably mock something up that was decent in powerpoint or something similar. In a past life, I studied advertising, so I had a bit of schooling in paper advertising and creating a proper layout. I struggle taking that to t

Thanks Alex. I spend most of my time on linux, so photoshop/illustrator hasn't been an option, but the gimp and inkscape have. Still, I do have a macbook over in the corner and largely unused, so perhaps it's time to invest in some adobe so

Hah...yeah, sorry. It wasn't really cool in the PHP3 days. PHP4 came along and suddenly, it was very cool. Then Rails came along and suddenly PHP as Brian from the Breakfast Club ;) Regarding templates, I'd love suggestions for decent ones

Have you considered that you could potentially make a lot more by open sourcing NOLOH and building a support infrastructure around it? It seems like the closed source aspect of it might be holding you back. If NOLOH truly is the Rails of th

I like it...it's crashed on me a few times (64-bit) but other than that it's nifty. The best part is the minimap (high level view of source on right hand side). Is anyone aware of a plugin for vim that does this sort of thing?

What about those who know a good text editor, know the Rails CLI, and still prefer an IDE? There are worthwhile features that an IDE can do that a text editor can't (easily). If I were running your company, I'd focus more on the individua

Those blank dialog issues are caused by Compiz, not Linux. You can either turn Compiz off, or try setting this in your profile: export AWT_Toolkit=MToolkit
