So with Gnome 3 to configure it you need the control panel, which comes built in. Except that is highly limited and doesn't include the ability to do basic things like manage window buttons, modify icons to include command line options, etc. All basic things that every other GUI includes in the control panel/properties of icons/etc.
What you will need to manage Gnome 3: the gnome teak tool, gnome extensions, and alacarte to modify icons. Except alacarte is broken, and has been broken since about August of 2011. So you'll need to copy text files into your home dir and edit them by hand to have custom command line options for icons. I cover all the gory details on F17 here:

TLDR: customizing Gnome 3 is a disaster. It's not that configuration options are hidden, they simply aren't present, you'll need additional tools, one of which is totally broken.
So I have a question: Google Chrome (and some other browsers) treats the address bar as a search bar. How will that work with new TLD's like "pepsi", does every search (for a single word) first get a DNS lookup, and then if fails, searched for at Google (which means all your personal searches leak to your ISP and any DNS server along the way), or do we include a whitelist of every new tld in the browser?
$250,000 is basically one employee for one year (say 100k *2 for overhead/etc.) plus 50k in hardware/software. Properly securing this stuff is bound to cost more than the fines, so sadly I suspect many businesses simply do the math and decide to eat the fine.
I think Fight Club summed it up nicely:
Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one.

In this article, I’m not going to talk about an emerging technology (don’t get me wrong, I love new technology) but about something even more interesting: An emergent behavior that was never expected: bufferbloat.
Bufferbloat is not a recent phenomenon; however, it has only recently been uncovered and understood, and developers will likely be grappling with it for some time. Additionally, this problem, if left unchecked, will make the Internet painfully slow to use, greatly reducing the availability of services. Remember, availability is one of the three legs of the AIC triad (along with integrity and confidentiality).
So when people say "congestion causes slow networks" they are quite often right, but not for the reasons they think they are. Case in point: my Cablemodem ping times to www.seifried.org are nice and fast, until I saturate my uplink (with even just a single upload stream) at which point the latency increases to one second (in a semi-linear fashion over a few seconds, you can almost hear all the buffers getting filled up along the way).
What this country needs is a good five dollar plasma weapon.
