Comment Re:Python is unusable because of whitespace issue (Score 1) 330

What is a code formatter to do when you try to paste code directly after an indented line of python? Any guess can be wrong, and all it CAN do is guess.

You guessed wrong. The indentation in python contains the same information as all your brackets and semicolons, and thus can be used the same way. Not too surprising, coming from someone who's main language choice consideration is how it supports copy and paste.

gvfs-fuse

For what I want to do (mount remote file systems) KIO works better.


No it does not. Seriously. I wish it did. I love KDE and can almost swallow KDE 4.5. However, gvfs allows ANY program access to the remote stuff you mount through it. KDE KIO simply can't match that. You can open a shell and cd into the damm ftp or Windows share or whatever and run commands on the files there.

Just mount something through gvfs, open your shell and type 'cd ~\.gfvs' and you will see.

I just noticed i didn't rant much about Gnome, just declared it dead. If you look at the screenshot in the grandparent comment, and the critique posted there you will understand. There is no way anything good will come out of that screenshot unless they delete all the sources for Gnome 3.x and kill themselves.

It is really really bad. KDE is gone. I mean sure, it is more or less workable now, with glaring imcompleteness in some areas, and ZERO fucking polish. Gnome 2.x works very very well and is quite polished. I wish they were a bit more adventurous with options, like old KDE used to be without fucking up functionality.

Now gnome will die too. KDE will take years to reach a state in which i do not feel embarassed to use it almost every other day. XFCE has nowhere near enough functionality for what I need in a Desktop Environment and what KDE and Gnome got me used to.

And the KDE name change? That is the sign of a project with no leadership, right there. I thought germans had outgrown making big efforts for completelly stupid and useless things, but i guess that is just in automobile design.

From your description, that is a horrible, horrible mouse.

A - Seriously, lift left finger to right click?
B - Seriously, squeeze 2 buttons to work as one?
C - Apple mouse works with Apple computer. Wow.
D - Off button!
E - I guess some people might prefer a trackball rather than a tilting wheel.
F - I have never needed to clean a light-mouse. Is this a ball mouse?

Wow.
