All the above window managers take a while to load & freaking slow. What's remarkable is people have so much patience to live with them. I for one can't bear a window manager which takes more than a second to load. Animations & other gaudy features are nice - but just keep getting in between you & getting things done.
So I have had to live with Fluxbox for over a decade now & have used the same keyboard shortcuts all this while. The desktop looks basic - but everything is fast & usable in milliseconds.
If you have a similar environment which is equally or better than FB do share it here - I would love to try.
Maybe you need to upgrade your hardware once in a while, as ALL of the choices above (except Unity - never tried it, that I can recall) seem reasonably fast to me. That, or you are a very, very impatient person.
so who uses Bing?
Old and uneducated people who think Internet Explorer *is* the internet and have always had it set as their default search engine since they bought their current computer and don't realize that there is any alternative. That's it, no one really uses it by choice. I hear it works well for funny cat videos and finding out what time the local pharmacy opens.
For various (often stupid) reasons most brands don't want to be associated with "porn" even in a very passing way. So advertisers will pull their ads if you have what they deem to be porn.
Excellent point. So don't just blame Google when it fails you. Blame your crappy business model that puts too many eggs in too few baskets, and the advertisers that account for Google's revenue. Google can be an incredible resource and a traffic and revenue generator for you, but you can't just do whatever you want, refuse to adapt, and expect to cash in forever.
One of these shows a police officer pinning a guy to the ground with his knee so that he can cuff him (presumably after the guy already did something wrong and tried to resist arrest.)
Presumably!?!? So, you are claiming to know the truth, and admit in the same sentence that you don't. Police actions not only may be questioned, they must be questioned. If they do nothing wrong then they have nothing to be worried about when we question them, right? That's the same approach they often take with us, no?
