Comment: You common folk just dont understand! (Score 1) 786

Reminds me of all the self righteous blog posts by industry insiders about how average person just don't understand the elegance, and the future direction of the GUI.

The said the vocal outspoken are just loud cry babies that don't know anything, don't contribute, and just waste everyone's times.

As if removing the start button and window themes and ridding the world of "archaic" features like a program list and mouse will enlighten the common man to GUI nirvana.

Yeah, didn't happen did it.

I always push for the ISO 8601 time formats. I like seeing YYYY-MM-DD on my time stamps. Wish this was the industry standard for logging, file systems, etc.

What I hate how the US has Saturday/Sunday split on the weekend. Who really thinks, Oh its Sunday start of the week!
Monday is really the start of the week, right after the WEEK END, and that's how I like my calendars displayed. Monday thru Sunday.

Plea bargains make people plead guilty all the time. I remember when Wennatchee sex ring scandal happened. The whole population wanted justice, hang the child rapists! The state went for life sentences for all 40+ people accused.
Many of the people pleaded guilty when they faced life in prison. Only after years of litigation did it come out the entire thing was a hoax. No child was raped.

The stresses this young man faced shouldn't be the norm. Obama was suppose to be the voice the people, the people who work in his administration should echo his values.

I can only hope that a 3rd party takes off someday, we really need to vote the bastards out, not vote pretend in a 2 party system.

Exactly, thus limitations and restrictions on things that a group of people don't want. Make it artificially hard to obtain.

Same goes with the left side on gun control, the right side with abortion, both sides on medical marijuana.

I'm sure 100 years from now, free speech will be allowed as long as your in a room by yourself. Restrictions and all.

I wonder, is the vine format smaller than gif? Lots of small gifs all around, so no reason they couldnt be placed if devices can view them.
Only problem I can think of, I want to be able to see them on my android phone and laptop and no viewer yet?

Not sure what all the hate is, its like people dont like new tech around here.

Google just wants to be helpful. In fact when I joined Google+, it asked me if I wanted to add my ex wife! (no)

And when I search for a raccoon knit hat for my daughter's birthday, I get to see that ad on every website I visit for the next month! (argh)

I don't know about you, Google is super helpful! /s

I tried to upgrade a virtualbox image, didn't work for me either. I tried a couple times but I was too annoyed to continue.
Not sure what the issue was, but telling me not enough space, not letting me use my existing partitions or even letting me reformat the drive, clearly a broken installer.

No idea who is testing this on the Fedora team, but damn, if this cant pass the drunk admin test you failed.

User interface guidelines. Android is finally realizing they needed interface guidelines. Apple has done great in both OSX and IOS. But Gnome team and Microsoft seems to be ignoring every standard and going gooey eyed over tablets.

My tablet is not my work computer, not my game system, and not my media box. Its my portable content reader.

Listen to your users.

After reading the timeline of events. It really seems like he didn't pay some protection money. First the police raid his house (for a meth lab) and drop charges, then after he donates to the police the next day all his dogs are killed. He definitely pissed off some people. So is he Crazy? I think hes so damn shaken up he cant think straight and tried to run because he honestly thinks he would be escape goat for a murder and might even be murdered himself.

Timeline @ http://wecheck.org/wiki/John_McAfee

TDLR; I think he was too busy banging the 17 yo and having the good life, so I doubt he had a meth lab and was a drug kingpin.

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
