I trust we'll see gnome-globalmenu in the default panel configuration soon then?

They may not exist yet. I'm saying that Windows developers should reduce the risk of competition by having multiplatform applications.

go POSIX with MacOS X and Ubuntu. Switch to Qt, Cocoa, or GTK, then build your app against winelibs, and then factor winelibs out and take more advantage of the native features of KDE, Aqua, and GNOME. Either that or we _will_ replace your application with a Free alternative that, sooner or later, will make its way back onto the Windows platform to bite you, really hard, in the butt.

Of course they haven't forgotten-- Digital Restrictions Mongering. They're on it.

'no.' Let the show begin.

I do read the entire summary, but as for the comment section, I only read the +4 and +5 Funny comments. If there aren't very many at all, I just close the tab.

Only if they patentmonger it.

How many key patterns are used by people who type with dvorak or colemak? I've always liked the extra security that comes with using an obscure (albeit superior) keyboard layout ;)

alias frigging='gksu' alias fricking='sudo' alias install='sudo apt-get install' alias uninstall='sudo apt-get remove' alias check-update='sudo apt-get update' alias update='sudo apt-get upgrade' alias murder='sudo killall' alias get='wget' alias GET='sudo wget' alias enter='cd' alias up='cd ..' alias home='cd ~/' alias unmount='umount' alias restart='sudo shutdown -r now'

As an Ubuntu (and soon also OS X) user, I don't want anyone wasting my time with malware warnings. Don't scan my mail, don't mark links, just let me be.

The GIMP, of course.

Colemak has a variant for Windows wherein holding down the space bar flips the keyboard over itself horizontally. It's less than half the speed of one handed typing, but it sure is novel, and great for those times when the other hand is, uh, ..busy.

Colemak is the only layout I've ever touch-typed in; qwerty doesn't exactly encourage proper typing form in and of itself. Touch typing, of course, is much, much faster than some mutant hunt-and-peck algorithm, besides being a ton more comfortable.

Dvorak still has a Caps Lock key..
