    Re: Worst review(er) I've ever read

    A couple (TL;DR?) things about this:

    First, there seem to be a couple of important differences between the Google search example that you mention here and the example involving Dash. I'm not sure...

    [ubuntu] Re: libreoffice incredibly buggy in 12.10?

    I tried to replicate your bug and failed. I opened ten different LO documents, one by one, by double-clicking on the filenames in Nautilus, and there were no problems. I've also never seen anyone...

    When's the last time you upgraded the software on your system? They recently released an update that should have fixed at least some of this behavior.

    Re: Should I upgrade to 12.10 Quantal Quetzal?

    I'm assuming that by "Ubuntu" you mean the standard Ubuntu with Unity. If that's right, then, if you use LibreOffice regularly, I would not upgrade to 12.10. LibreOffice is currently buggy in 12.10,...

    I was going to say the same thing. There is no need for an app to change the background colors of text editors, AFAIK, because you can already change the background colors using themes or the text...

  9. Re: Now that the Unity hate has cooled down, how do you feel about the WM?

    Agree here completely, at least for computers with Intel graphics. Not so sure about the other cards -- I've heard from people having serious issues with them.

    The global menubar in LibreOffice is quite broken in 12.10 right now (and has been since release... and was before release, too).

    I notice no Intel cards. I've also found 12.10's performance to be excellent, but I've only used it on Intel graphics.

    What part of what the reviewer said in the passage that you quoted is BS, exactly? It looks as though there is not only "some truth" to what is said in that passage, but complete truth.

    The link that you refer to in your post is missing, so it's hard to tell what instructions you're trying to follow. (You also mention Scott; did you mean for this to be a PM rather than a post?)
