The main issue with most implementations of Artificial Intelligence is that they're bound to be application-specific (desktop search, voice recognition, spellings/suggestions, etc.). The most direct...

TeoBigusGeekus, I've always been a bit pessimistic myself that the need would be so great that anyone would muster the energy to create something similar to AutoCAD. I think it's far more likely the...

While I think it's a bit overconfident in its language, I mostly agree with what's presented in the paper. Designers and gamers are definitely not the most likely to use Linux due to this, whereas I...

If you have a good video card and a ton of RAM already (or a few 1 GB sticks that are fairly recent), it would make more sense to get a barebones system with a decent processor and just move the...

Gnome-panel and metacity are still available in GNOME 3 (Fallback mode, as everyone has mentioned). They have both undergone updates that speed them up and remove bugs and dependencies on deprecated...

To be honest, if they have the drivers, most platforms that support Qt and GTK can be good replacements for Linux.

I think Haiku can definitely take the place of Linux when it comes to...

Macs are definitely selling a lot better than they were even two years ago. I can't say that Linux's popularity has grown at such an accelerated rate in the same time frame. There was a time that...

Just so everyone knows, I found out why the window dragging doesn't work in Arch- it includes vanilla gtk2 which has no patches for this support by default. Fedora and Ubuntu seem to have these...

@3Miro, I think he was suggesting that certain distros/spinoffs, not Ubuntu in particular, might like to include a Qt or GTK application in GNOME or KDE, respectively.

It's arguable that GIMP...

D: I must have ALL THE TOOLKINGS at my disposal! Mwahahahaaaa!! *evil grin* (sorry, I'm a jerk sometimes, and I want toolkings to be real)

But yeah, you're right el_koraco, as far as open source...

If toolkit libraries are 'bloat', I'd love to hear what else in a default Ubuntu install is also bloat. Depending on your perspective, extra themes, unused codecs, new-style toolbars, certain...

I used to understand this problem, since the integration of GTK and Qt applications in either main environment (GNOME and KDE) was a huge issue. But with QGtkStyle and Oxygen-gtk (and dbus), it seems...

Thanks for the information- I think that's the perfect license for it. It also gives the GNOME developers the future option of adopting it officially without bringing in much extra baggage.

Again,...

Here's Unity for the short-sighted. Take the bottom panel from Gnome 2 away and replace it with an intellihiding dock on the left, put a global menu up top, and allow the user to save more vertical...

I actually prefer Gnome 3.

"I don't usually use Ubuntu, but when I do, I log into Unity."

It's pretty tough to find the command line in Natty, if you ask me. So I don't think they're highlighting it at all. The terminal has its advantages on every major OS, although it's got a lot more...

There are certain very old USB wireless dongles that have had their drivers blacklisted in favor of new ones that don't actually work out of the box without firmware, so that may be part of the...

We'd certainly be better off with a different culture and understanding of software patents, and a lessening of seriousness among them, than with this egg-shell industry full of inconsistency and...

I've never had significant problems with WUBI, even back in the day when I was installing it on computers with 512 MB of RAM or less. I think it'd be silly to go backwards on it just because it's not...

Wow, that's probably a lot more help than you wanted.

Aside from getting used to the desktop (and customizing it if you wish, since there is a huge art-oriented segment to the community that loves...

Somehow that was totally related. And murdered the thread in front of my poor, innocent eyes.

I like that Microsoft's developers are playing with extremes and seeing how far a concept can go,...

Ah, I could've sworn it was a Ben Francis project, not a Mozilla project. If you're in a company, that doesn't mean your personal projects represent the company's views, even if they're related areas...

If you absolutely need advanced non-destructive editing and color modes like LAB and CMYK, use Inkscape, Krita, or Photoshop. Krita works with CMYK and a lot of non-destructive elements, but it's not...

The included wallpaper is something they're trying to promote so themes have a few more features to them. You can always change the wallpaper individually in System Settings.

I noticed that the...

My response is a bit late, but the comparison I was making was sheerly on the 'newness' or originality, or should I say the length of the departure from the traditional interface each environment...
