I loved KDE 3.5, and would spend weeks customizing everything to look exactly like I wanted.
It worked perfectly, I had all the right applications and buttons at the right place.

I tried 4.5 and newer versions, but with a kid and my day job, I simply don't have time to look through the 1000 menus, tabs and radio buttons.
So I have to stay with the default config, but it kinda sucks.

On the other hand, Linux Mint + Mate gets the job done out of the box and it looks decent.

Yes, but it would also have to be fast.
When I use Eclipse, Netbeans or Rubymine, I'm both impressed by the IDE features and angry at how sluggish simple operations are in comparison to vim.
I always fall back to vim.

Exactly.
- Sorry, we lost $1B
- But, you owe us $50M
- What a coincidence! I just found $100M. But I promise you, I don't know where the other $900M are.

*) Diurnal. Does it mean what you think it means?
*) Energy received and energy emitted by the Earth aren't equal. You might have heard of global warming.
*) The energy emitted by the Earth isn't all infrared radiation.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... and http://www.eoearth.org/view/ar... )
*) Temperature doesn't have color, pressure doesn't have speed and energy doesn't have entropy. You can only define entropy for a thermodynamic system (i.e. Earth, or Earth + atmosphere).
*) Entropy more or less describes the disorder of a system. All oher things being equal, the entropy goes up with the temperature (0 at 0K, higher at 6000K than at 300K)
*) You're probably talking about exergy : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...

Thermodynamics is hard. You have to define everything and understand the underlying mathematical concepts.

I'm not sure Amsterdam and San Francisco are representative cities for either the US or Europe.
It's like saying : "Take 2 average girls, say, Natalie Portman and Kate Middleton"

Pardon my french, but why the f**k do you need 2400 opened tabs for?

I'm happy with Mint-MATE, thank you very much, and sure as hell doesn't look dated and ugly.

What part of "As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post." don't you understand?

"Only two orders of magnitude"?
Well, that's the difference between flying and staying on the tarmac.
