Comment Re:I'm yet to see improvements over Gnome 2 (Score 1) 396

Hey I'm running an ancient computer with an Intel 82845G (Celeron 2.4 that has to be at least 8 years old) and I'm stuck in the Gnome 3 fallback mode. Which was a bit of a shock after I updated my Debian box and all of sudden all of my panels were gone. I've been too busy and too lazy to look into alternatives, and I don't really mind what they are trying to do with Gnome 3, but Gnome 2 ran on my computer.

Comment Re:Why can't they just use Ctrl+C to copy? (Score 1) 936

Hmm interesting I did not know that they used Alt for old DOS programs, you could have a point with why Windows went with Ctrl+C, but why did Apple go with Co+C?

I seem to remember that back in the day old Apples used to use some combination of Shift+Insert (paste) and something else to copy (I forget which it was). So when did Apple switch? Or did they always support both?

Either way it's not a terribly big problem, but I'm sure it's frustrating to most people moving from Windows/Linux to OS X.

Journal Journal: Started a blog

Well I started another Blog, basically I started this blog so that it could be more technical rather then personal like my other blog is.

None of my friends really care about Ruby on Rails or anything, so why would I bore them?

Anyways here's the site if you want to check it out:

Journal Journal: Stupid Journal

So do I do it? Switch from Gentoo to Ubuntu? I've been using Gentoo for quite a while now and have really been liking it, it's only been recently where I have started to get annoyed at the fact that I have to compile everything all the time.

I mean it's nerdy cool to do that sort of stuff, but do I really see any performance benefit? Or do I just waste my time?

Programming

Journal Journal: OpenGL BSP-Trees

Hmmm Got the BSP Tree's going working on not drawing anything that is out of the gall durn frustum. Working well. Went through pointer problems when initially creating the BSP trees only it wasn't a pointer problem it was a == instead of a != damn painful to find, especially when you think it is one of thousands of pointers.

But alls well that ends well.
