Pretty small and part of a balanced gaming diet too

This sounds like complete bullshit to me. I've used Firefox on Android as my only web browser for 10+ years and it's great. No battery issues.

LOL. So much butthurt over Doctorow's work and contributions by the armchair expert crew in here. Help us all to understand your position - please point out on a diagram of blockchain-based cryptocurrencies where mean old Doctorow hurt your feelings.

Late to this party but.. Microsoft buying and being in charge of an enormous host of free, open-source software. What could possibly go wrong?

You know what, a bunch of you at work like to use the job and their co-workers as their social group, terrific, knock yourselves out. But it's not for everyone and the company is missing out on important talent if this is a condition of continued employment. How about just leaving people alone. They may actually have lunch together now and again spontaneously.

I'm looking forward to the software dev job situation swinging back the other way to where these touchy-feely companies are back on the short end of the bargaining stick. You clowns have too much power and you seem bored. Not a good combo. It's a job. We go there to solve problems, get paid and work.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to have lunch with my significant other. My current job supports me on this. Ciao.

Is this what happens when the shock sets in that there's no Steve to guide everything? Tweetdeck devs: If this kitchen's too hot, you may be excused. More room for developers who can handle it.

You may need glasses, my friend. This is what happened to me. Changing the res on monitors, trying to buy lower res LCDs. Finally went to the old eye doctor. And yep, you guessed it, time to start wearing glasses. All this bullshit magically stopped being a problem.

The game is well-made. It's fun and interesting to me. I have not found any bugginess so far. They produce a native Linux version. They don't harrass us with DRM.

I paid them US$20. That was my pick-a-price. Because, you know what?, the developers felt it was worth that much originally and I agree.

This isn't some contest where I have to make sure I win over the other tens of thousands of customers.

Can the xmonad window manager be used in a desktop environment like KDE or Gnome?

Excellent question, AC! Yes, it is being used this way by some people with Gnome. Help with setting that up here.

I did not know what ICCCM was until I looked it up on Wikipedia, where I found this:

"The ICCCM is notorious for being ambiguous and difficult to correctly implement [1]. Furthermore, some parts are obsolete or no longer practical to implement [2]."

Interesting, thanks!

I'd like to take this opportunity to suggest that people try something exciting and different! The xmonad window manager!

It's a tiling-style wm like ion, ratpoison and dwm (in fact it started out as a reimplementation of dwm's features with the addition of xinerama support). xmonad is very small, very fast, very stable. Written in the Haskell programming language. And supported by a very helpful and friendly bunch on #xmonad at freenode.

Try this kind of window manager, you may just like it quite a bit more than the conventional model of dragging and sizing your life away. I went from fluxbox to xmonad last summer and use it on everything, period. It's that good.
