What is your current opinion on Android? Do you consider Android as a "Linux", "Linux type" or "Linux child"? Are you connected somehow with Android development?
Comment opposite direction (Score 1) 328
After release of GNOME 3 I moved into opposite direction (I was using xfce for many years).
Anyway it's a good thing, because I dislike GNOME/KDE integration of single applications, for instance I use k3b which is only usable dvd burner and it comes from KDE. If xfce will be default then maybe some people realize applications should work everywhere not fit GNOME desktop.

Submission + - Shocking and depressing South Park episode (southparkstudios.com)
Jacek Poplawski writes: 28 pages (at the time of writing this story) of forum speculations — is this the end of South Park as we know it? Very sad ending of last episode, a true drama for each fan.... and a masterpiece. We have to wait until October now... Are we too old to watch cartoons anymore? Are we too old to enjoy this kind of humour? Are Trey and Matt too old to create more episodes?

Liberal by which definition? American or European? AFAIK liberal in USA means "socialist" while in the rest of the world liberal means someone who likes freedom.
Comment Bullshit (Score 1) 1348
This is bullshit. All you need on desktop today is a web browser. There are web browsers for Linux and they work. You can communicate, watch movies and listen music in your web browser, but you can also use separate applications for communication, music or movies. And everything works on Linux. And you can give configured Linux box to newbie and he or she will just use it.
Maybe you still don't get it, but people are not spending half of their lives playing 3D games. They just use web browser, some kind of communicator and various mutimedia viewers / document editors.
I understand that after 2000 lots of people changed their priorities, Slashdot almost died (Digg is dying now), many companies changed their profile, but in the background you can see that Open Source and Free Software is stronger than ever. Look at mobile phones, where is your Windows now? I also understand that Internet is full of Apple fanatics and (hidden in closet) Microsoft fanatics. But the truth is that Linux on desktop just works. No matter how loud you will cry your frustrations.

This is just a matter of time and you will all realize that buzzwords are still buzzwords. No matter is it 2000 or 2010, some things are just plain stupid and will disappear.
Submission + - Digg dies, just like Slashdot few years ago
Jacek Poplawski writes: I was active Slashdot user few years ago, then it started to be very boring, so I started to use Digg. It was nice until this year, when Kevin Rose decided he is very clever and must change Digg to something between Facebook and Twitter. Site started to be unusable, people stopped using it. Where should we move now? Can Slashdot be interesting again?

90% of Gaming Addiction Patients Not Addicted 333
phorm writes "BBC is carrying an article which states that 90% of visitors to Europe's 'video game addiction clinic' are not, in fact, addicted. The problem is a social one rather than a psychological issue. In other words, the patients have turned to heavy gaming because they felt they didn't fit in elsewhere, or that they fit in better 'in the game' than elsewhere in 'the real world.' This has been discussed before, with arguments ranging from gaming being a good way to socialize, the clinical definition of gaming addiction, and claims than males are wired for video-game addiction."
