So far I've hit two xfce bugs.

I had xfce save it's session without the window manager. (so no window borders, all windows in the top left corner, and unable to change the stacking order) I never asked for the session to be saved, certainly not in some crazy state, and I don't see why the window manager should be a forgettable item in the first place. I had to start the window manager from the command prompt, then go into the session part of the settings tool and tell it to save the session. Note: all non-hackers would have had to reinstall the OS. (hit this on Debian)

I had the desktop switcher decide I only get to have 1 desktop. This bug is absolutely maddening. I can switch it back, but the setting won't stick. Every time I restart, I get only 1 desktop, just like Windows. Arrrrrgh! Hate, hate, hate! Multiple desktops are **extremely** important to me. I found the XML file where xfce fucks up, writing a bad config for itself, and used chattr to set the immutable bit. Somehow, xfce is still able to fuck up. (hit this on Mint mainly, but also Ubuntu and Fedora and Debian)

I miss GNOME 2.

So, does this mean I can go hiking next week? (without causing my death)

How about the paths up Mount Moosilauke and Mount Jefferson? How about the trails up to the ridges of Franconia Notch? Ice all melted? Slush gone yet? What kind of temperatures would I get ON TOP (not in the valley) at those locations?

This is wrong. An 8 month old child should be with mom. Even the Soviets figured this out: in Soviet Russia, mom loves you. Also, an 8 month old ought to be breastfeeding. (for real, not pumped)

...and if they don't want intrusive monitoring?

Exactly, except that the "blood" will be mostly corn syrup. The fat and amino acids in the "blood" will probably come from soy. Just like soy burger, this won't be available without coloring and flavoring added. I have no doubt that vat meat in theory could be way better than animal meat, and no doubt that in practice it will be worse.

You can see in the article that they are now trying to grow fat cells, then make a burger. Yuck. I'd much rather stir fry it with some coconut oil and mushrooms, but no they'll never offer that option.

So put both names on the title to the motorcycle. What is so hard about that? If you don't intend to share, don't get married. If you want to do things without asking a spouse for consent, don't get married.

I'm married. If I lived in those states, I'd have to create a holding company for the vehicle, with my wife and I each getting an ownership share. WTF! That is way too much work for something that should be simple and obvious.

If you are married, ideally you should not even be able to get title with just one name on it. At the very least it should require notarized consent of the party being left out.

The same goes for anything and everything you share, including kids. The more tied together you are, the harder it is to split. Splitting becomes less likely, but of course a bigger disaster if it does happen.

Your choice... but if you're going to live like roommates then you might as well just stay roommates.

Well, that's the honest truth.

If you fail to couch your language in the uncertainty inherent in research, then this is also true.

Show some numbers. Explain the horror of the disease. Be honest about the chances of catching it, particularly regarding circumstances: rural, suburban, urban, more or less isolated, country, state, socioeconomic background, etc. Be honest about the chances of adverse reactions... and no, the 24-hour cut-off is not honest.

This is the elephant in the kitchen. It's hard enough finding Americans who will put the US first. Imagining that foreigners will put the US first is insane.

I'm not sure if you should even make an exception for somebody who claims to be an orphan who fled religious persecution by running through a minefield while being shot at.

If your secrets are on a network that connects to a foreign land or can otherwise be accessed by anybody with ties to a foreign land, you're in trouble.

I demand a proper smiley face. I want round eyes and a cheerful mouth. Mouth width can indicate how many amps the socket can handle. If we need a neutral line distinct from ground or a 3rd phase, add a nose.

That does sound like a problem. :-) Back when I had GNOME, I was always trying to get rid of Nautilus. I didn't want the clutter on my desktop, I didn't want the pointless memory usage, and I didn't want the ridiculous package dependencies. Uninstalling Nautilus felt SO GOOD. Die fucker, die die DIE!!!

That doesn't work. I assume Fitt really loved his trackball. If I do that, I'll need to pick my mouse up off the desk before it works it's way under the monitor and off of the back of the desk. Worse yet, hitting the top of the screen destroys my mental sense of the mouse-to-screen mapping. I can't click multiple things in rapid succession if ever I bump the edge of the screen.

Mouse wraparound would be nice. Hmmm, it's probably an option...

They implicitly want it whenever an app crash takes out **all** the windows. They implicitly want it whenever they have undesired cross-site web interactions that would be stopped by having separate browser sessions.
