The concept is simple, both Unity and Gnome Shell say do it our way or hit the highway. We hit the highway. One size does not fit all, nor does one desktop pattern fit all work flows. If your workflow is simple, then Unity is great for you. But those of use that need more flexibility we have to move on.

Comment Integer arithmetic warning (Score 1) 575
My latest endeavor with JS made me very upset. JS does not do integer arithmetic well. Example to do a proper integer addition that is reliable I have to do the following: a + b | 0 or it could end up with decimal values. It wasted several hour of my time to find that one out.

I think it is a great idea, and to the points about the Gnome 3 and Cinnamon diverging, yes they will diverge. But I bet Gnome will die and most linux platforms will adopt Cinnamon.
Good work guys. Stick something in there eye :)

It's not magic, it's not ghosts. They just don't know what caused the spontaneous combustion. Just like in UFO's it's an unidentified flying object not an alien saucer they just don't know what it is.

If I am not mistaken this means we can no longer challenge bad patents with "Prior Art" as has been done up to now.

Is this like GNOME assuming one desktop manager "fits all"?

Submission + - Ancient Programmer Tidbit
jlbprof writes: When I was a young programmer (back in Apple II days). I had a much older programmer as a mentor. He once told me something that I have not seen anywhere written yet it is an absolute truth.
A Control Character's value can be calculated by bitwise anding the character with 0x1F.
Example: Carriage Return is a 0x0D or a control M.
M is 0x4D & 0x1F = 0x0D Voila!
Did you know that?

Submission + - Mesh Injection Attacks Claims 30,000 Websites (esecurityplanet.com)
darthcamaro writes: Forget about SQL Injection — Mesh Injection is a new type of injection attack that could just be even more dangerous. According to a new reportm Mesh Injection may have claimed as many as 30,000 websites already. Aside from the big infection number the real danger is the mesh itself which enables the injection to spread.
"The mass mesh victim sites are injected with JavaScript, but not to a small set of malicious redirectors, they are injected with malicious JavaScript that point to each other in a mesh," Wayne Huang, CTO at Armorize told InternetNews.com. "So the infected websites themselves are re-directors."
