You do realize of course that the government has other assets than money, right?
Same here (also Germany). Worse yet, even if a german broadcaster was offering it, chances are you would only be able to get it dubbed in Germany without the option to switch to the original language.
no? Most distributions transitioned to either gnome 3 or unity from gnome 2, not just ubuntu. And yes, Gnome 3 was part of the reason why I considered and in the end switched to OS X for my main machine (from Gentoo).
Very unfortunate title imho, since minimising windows can be accomplished by far easier methods (the button in the menu or pressing command+M for instance).
Clearly you haven't been to audiophile forums. 150 is pretty much entry level for those kind of people.
That's actually what kind of happened to me with MP3-Players. "Mhm, I could buy an iPod Nano for ~150 or this whatever-brand with more space for ~100. Two months later I got the iPod Classic, best decision ever."
If it's non-technical people speaking about the differences between to technical things you can almost guarantee that they are trying to compare apples and oranges.
While I agree that mediocre can be "good enough" (e.g. I don't see any reason to buy high end headphones, when I am perfectly happy with ~150 Euro ones), I think this should always be a decision made consciously, not…
That actually does look better, thanks for showing.
To the unschooled eye that hasn't seen Gnome since 3.0, this looks just as ugly as it did when it was released.
Chrome's Webstore[1] is even uglier imho, but yeah as far as package managers go I wouldn't want to use it to be honest. The whole Windows 8 style on XP doesn't help either. [1]…
Any reason why this discussion should not be held inside of hacker news instead of on a third party website?
I did that and it is actually incredibly easy to get used to (within a couple of hours). The bigger thing you have to get used to -- and which I suspect most will struggle with -- is not moving around when in insert…

Indeed. Even if I had, I doubt I would care to sign in just to post a comment.

Honestly, the article seems rather pointless to me. The kind of people who don't know what a bootloader is should probably not be using Arch Linux or Slackware. Not to mention that at least Arch Linux has a far more…
Did you even read what he wrote? They DON'T aim for any such amount of people using it.

I kind of disagree. I think there would have been better ways to present a design. For startes it would have been nice to know why specific decisions were made instead of just "we thought it was prettier". Maybe…
I agree, even as a submitter I'd rather people would comment -- even if it's just to criticise -- than if everybody is too polite to say anything. This way, I think everybody can profit from it.
