Nice trolling - calling people out because you don't understand what is going on, then using an insensitive epithet. Way to do it anonymously, loser. Claim your posts, turd face.

Um, just do it anyway, without DC's money or support.

Actually, it IS a trap. How long until they back away from their support of open source and back away, migrating to their own proprietary BS, taking full advantage of the progress made by others?

Next the US PTO needs to strip Notre Dame University of its disparaging trademarks. As an American partially of Irish descent, I have always been greatly offended by the "Fighting Irish," and their despicable mascot, which are both horrible and inaccurate stereotypes. Apple should be next, as the word "apple" is far too common to be limited solely to an electronics manufacturer who has never actually sold any fruit. Finally, I would like to request that Pizza Hut no longer be allowed to use "Pizza" in their trademarks, as they do not sell actual pizza.

You could call the prototype "Biodome," and I bet you could make an amazing comedy about it.

Don't forget carbon nanotubes and the cloud! Everything worth anything in the future will require both.

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.

Before Gnome 3, I preferred Gnome. MATE is okay, but I have moved on. Now it is definitely Cinnamon for me, as I refuse to use Gnome 3. I will admit that I've only really used it on Mint and Mint Debian, but those are the only systems I use much anymore, aside from when I am forced to use Windows at work. KDE has always seemed bulky and is just not intuitive to me, though I take each major new version for a spin because it always looks so nice.

XFCE and LXDE are both worthy competitors (or were, the last time I checked), but a little plain and barebones for my liking.

So HP has a crappy, crippled $100 tablet? So what? It sounds like a real turd designed by the company penny pinchers, not a nice tablet at a bargain of a price. Boooooriiiiing... I wonder how much this one will go for in a couple months when they discontinue it.

Yes, BeOS was interesting... like 15 years ago. Today, not so much. And by not so much I mean, "People actually use Haiku? Who? And WHY?" I could do most of what I need to do today on WIndows 3.11, but that doesn't mean it would be a good idea.
