Why? What's wrong with thunar?

I haven't used XFCE is ages, but I belive lots of WMs out there use super+m2 to resize. Windows borders are useless, and having to aim at tiny stuff to resize windows is stupid.

Rather than "annoying", I'd say it's just "different from windows". Also, I belive this is configurable.

Use something like parcellite if you want to unify them. Getting rid of both clipboards to make life easier for people who don't know how to use a computer is a bad idea (see GNOME3).

Of course, instead of going bankrupt after spending all my money in 6TB hard drives, I could just enjoy myself for now, and got bankrupt later on when one of by four 3TB disks fail.

[url=http://lubuntu.net/]lubuntu[/url] is pretty lightweight, and looks pretty similar to windows as far as I can tell. Plus, it's all Ubuntu under the hood (for better or for worse). You know you'll have updates for a looong time coming.

Somebody notify mobile phone manufacturers, cause some (eg: Samsung's) just keep getting bigger!

The fact that google is also evil does not invalidate the statement that facebook is evil.

freedns (freedns.afraid.org) offer free DNS hosting, including dynamic DNS. So just buy a domain, and use that. Still cheaper than $25/y.

Even if nobody cares about your data/nobody exploits it, the hole is still there.

You're asuming that they're using a third-party CA, and using the same pool of CAs browsers use to validate.

In truth, when developing applications, you don't need that. If I were to make an application and server right now, I'd use my own CA certificate. I'd then bundle it with my application, and sign the server certificate with it. TLS validation will mean TRUE security in this case.

I'm quite curious as to what sort of shortcut they took. I can't picture any sort of code that might end up with an issue as particular as this one. :-/

QA? This bug is way too stupid. It should never even have existed, unless it was intentional. I mean, imagine the code; there's no possible variation where you get this sort of bugs.

If your connection is fast enough, you can stream 1080p movies, with same same quality as ripped 13GiB movies. If you do the math, you'll notice you only need ~2.1MBps (17Mbps) to stream a 15GiB 2 hour movie. And 15GiB is pretty much as good as it gets.

Honestly, everything you're criticizing is due to whoever your stream provider is having poor infrastructure/bandwidth/players, etc. Streaming itself does not need to have any of the issues you mention:

low quality: This is not tied to the fact that you're streaming per se, but rather to you provider wanting to save bandwidth.
embedded in some kind of stupid player: You can stream in standard formats as well you know?
system resource hungry: Sound like DRM is to blame for this, and not so much streaming itself. If you're not DRM'ing, you could just use VLC or whetever you like.

It was a requirement for developers, it was a feature for end users.

So, FOSS software is back because you loose your UNSAVED work during a power surge? OH NO!

Ctrl+S is your friend, and always will be.

Well, if it's such a happy name, all the more reason to use it! ^_^
Devs don't need class. They just need to develop good software. Period.

I can still play Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, from 1994, or StarCraft, from 1998. And Blizzard never had the power to change that, nor will they ever.
Can I be sure I'll be able to play Diablo III in 20 years? No. It all depends on me trusting a company that has burnt franchises* to the ground for the same or more income.

* Yes, Blizzards franchises have huge amounts of fans, by "burnt to the ground", I mean they died in spirit, and were replaces with games that carry no more that the title of Blizzard's former franchises. Sure, WoW sells a lot, but it's pretty damn obvious that it's not even remotely close to keeping the spirit (gameplay, machanics, storyline, etc) of Warcraft 1/2/3.

* Online only.
* Pay-to-win.
* The "challenging" part that the previous titles had is gone.
* Nothing new at all (mechanics-wise). Blizzard was one of those companies that ALWAYS innovated.
