Subpixel positioning is something NEW?! ClearType has been supported in Windows for ages, man. And it was even turned on by default in IE7 engine (even if the rest of the system didn't have it on).
All this "improved graphics" stuff sounds like DirectBullshit to me. Well, at least they have tranparent PNGs now.
9.10 made my Intel 855GM graphics card to finally run at full speed. No more jerky games and videos. Hooray! This alone was a worthy reason for an upgrade.
What's broken for me:
- xv is broken for my card (mentioned in release notes), so video playback is ugly and I had to switch KMS off
- after switching KMS off, my mouse cursor is invisible. I have to do Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F7 after every boot
- russian keyboard layout was lost, had to re-configure it
- touchpad settings were lost
- 9.10 actually boots slower than 9.04 for me, and booting splashscreen sometimes falls back to console
All in all, these problems are manageable and release is pretty neat. But for my next PC I'm gonna try OpenSuSE 11.2, it looks promising and I've heard some good reviews of KDE 4.3
Ehm... Am I the only one who is _completely satisfied_ with USB 2.0 performance? What is there to improve? What kinds of devices are gonna use it?
Ah, I see.
The project I have worked on used neither WinForms nor unmanaged code, so C# made a very good impression on me.
Very interesting. What didn't you like about
As a fascist gangsta corporate programmer, I think you are surely right. Everybody knows, there are no liberal-minded people in Russia. Only brainwashed Ivan Dragos that are marching on the Red Square, guided by Putin the Dictator's steel hand.
And its a shame that Slashdot doesn't support UTF-8, so I cannot post some scary cyrillic sentence to puzzle you all.
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
