And what do you gain by having all of the desktops functioning exactly the same? This is the first desktop on Linux that actually uses the application paragrim at its base. You're going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands since ther is NOTHING else similar to switch to. At least you can always go to XFCE or KDE or something else similar.

Your words are hollow.

Let's say you create a device. You send the blueprints to a manufacturer and soon start selling a "new segment" product. Lets say the company that was manufacturing your device decides to get in on the action since they see how well you're doing. They know what it will take... they have your blueprint after all.

Would you be upset if you were the designer of the device and manufacturer started putting out something a bit "too" similar to your product? Do you truly believe no further inspection is really necessary?

It's the same vat of hot water as a tech employee jumping between competing companies.

For a console that crashed and burned, it sure is following the same standard patterns of a normal 5-year Nintendo console lifecycle. I'm pretty sure they were still much more profitable this generation than the GameCube generation even including this years sales.

I found the trick with Wii games was to go into them with an open mind and try not set too many expectations. You'll enjoy them a lot more that way. There is a distinct culture difference in Wii games that just flies over the heads of many people. (Example: Nintendo games tend to read like a book. They don't do voiced dialog. That is not necessarily a minus even though people like to pretend it is.)

We are seeing a lot of paragrim shifts in software from the tablet interfaces appearing in projects such as Gnome 3 and the motion controls appearing in the Wii or Kinect. The holdouts will only move forward kicking and screaming.

known as Dllya. Please relink your programs as approprate.

The Gnome crowd is one of the most conservative around. The interface didn't have anything but small incremental changes for about 10 years. These are the people you least want to spring something big on since they have no interest in new concepts or anything bleeding edge.

But luckly, even if Gnome 3 turns out to be a dead end, because of all of the forks that are out there, one can be chosen to be the new official Gnome 4. I personally really don't mind Gnome 3 though. The use of the Windows/Meta key is fantastic.

The fact that h,omosexuals look down on constant side switching (to and from being homosexual) shows that gay people are no less bigots than straight people. Things are not black and white though people love to ram people into categories.

I have people say I have a good face, which brings me more problems than I would like in this gay-tolerant society. It edges on creepy what happens... but what can I do? Reverse discrimination is the in thing nowadays. Might as well just cram myself with ice cream to protect myself much like a lot of women would do in their anologous situation.

You ugly fucks who live in your basement probably don't have that problem and will never understand it.

If you are going to make it illegal to deprive someone of a sale, but not necessarily of physical item, you are entering muddy waters, buddy. You as might as well hold Walmart legally responsible for all the small businesses they put out of business by "depriving them of sales." Please, do not make physical comparisons if it isn't appropriate. But Walmart didn't steal any physical items from them, now did they?

I currently translate Japanese academic documents to English for an Indian company while living in Seattle Washington for less than minimuim wage. This is your future folks. You as might as well get ready to sell your things now because you aren't going to be able to afford to keep any of it.

Try hitting the magical windows key and tell me what happens. I seriously think most most users must have a deformed left hand or something.

I noticed people say that most often when they don't want to learn something new rather than something that constantly engaging them mind and will continue to do so. People really are slaves to their habits.

I liked Ron Paul. I'm probably going to switch over to the Pirate Party though. What the nation needs is a president who takes the kind of action that makes people shat their pants. Unfortunately, you'll never see that with the conspiring corporate sponsered candidates which everybody seems to go for.

X86 cpu manufacturer can and should survive. Maybe Intel or Microsoft or Apple will buy them out to put them out of their misery. The quicker customers can box themselves in the better. Choice is fleeting and obviously, chooses the current "best" processor is always in your "best" interest with no thought of the long term. But maybe Arm really is meant to eventually replace the X86 architecture.

I worked at target for a while and Target's setup for the Wii tends to look exceptionally fugly. (I'm not sure if that is the effect of component cables.) Though you would think that modern HDTVs would be able to cheaply include some kind of filter to emulate the look of old SDTVs. You can blame SD equipment, but shouldn't you be partially blaming the equipment made to display the SD signal?

Everybody on Windows is waiting for GIMP 2.8. Everybody on linux is waiting for gWaei which I just released yesterday. ;-D Expect those numbers to go up!

Hardcore Nintendo games tend to go to Japan first, then Europe, then not to America at all. It's a trend that I IGN wrote an article on not too long back. My how times have changed, eh?

Meh. I didn't quite get through my degree in school because of severe mental stress caused by my leg and family issues. I have no degree, so it's hard to get a job in my major for Computer Science or minor Japanese. I'm doing some work for an indian company right now so I am hoping for about 400 a month. You can say, "FUCK YOU YOU GIMP, GET A FUCKING RETAIL JOB AND WORK YOUR SHIT. I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE MISSING A FUCKNIG LEG." But that is the reason why I ran away to Seattle to kill myself in front of the student loans office. Fuck OWS.
