Oh man, don't get me started on GIMP... what a mess. :D

It was you being deliberately insulting I took issue with, not your criticism of the compiz cube:



That's just a flat ad hominem and not worth being treated like a constructive comment, because...

I didn't say "aesthetics have practical computing value," which is the argument you seem to be trying to refute. I said that they matter to people, in that some people find a pleasant computing...

Also, like it or not, aesthetics matter to some people, regardless of their level of practicality. If you don't think so, just take a look at Apple. It might not be your thing, and that's fine, but I...

It's not about cube vs. wall, it's about choice vs. no choice. Being able to customize my workspace the way I want was one of the big reasons I switched to Linux in the first place.

Granted, they...

Most emphatically not with you. :)

Years ago I had a cat whom we would leave alone in the house over the weekend sometimes... when we came back she would go absolutely berserk, running all over the house, leaping into my arms and...

True, I should have said that it is possible, just more difficult. There's that guy who trains cats to jump through hoops and walk tightropes and such... of course, he admits the key to his success...

DRM punishes legitimate consumers and has little to no effect on piracy. It should be done away with, because it's fundamentally useless.

The biggest problem I see with DRM is that media...

I don't think being upset is some kind of mutually exclusive state where you can only be upset at the death of only one group of living things at a time.

I also don't think being upset at the...

Coming up on four years and counting of Ubuntu and nothing but Ubuntu!

Whenever I had an Ubuntu question, the community here was always helpful and friendly. But then, I never criticized Ubuntu in the same post that I asked for help, or just flat criticized. That's what...

:confused:

Since dead people can't perceive anything, you might die in your dreams constantly and you'd never know the difference.

It's a very silly urban legend anyway... I mean, it's not like we have lots...

They'll wrap around.

I honestly didn't notice it was gone.

A truly amazing contribution to the thread.

My computer has essentially become "invisible" to my work. Meaning I can concentrate on what I'm doing without being interrupted by an updater, a virus checker, a malware checker, Clippy, etc.

Discussing origins of life on earth will probably lead to the discussion of religion, the mere mention of which will earn instant closure regardless of any other consideration.

I predict the mods will close down your thread any minute now.

More like not.

I will say that while I've experienced falling / floating experiences many times, including muscle spasms that abruptly wake me up, I've never experienced anything like an OBE or even lucid dreaming....

I have to admit, I laughed.

I guess I'm not seeing what one has to do with the other? I'm not trying to be impolite, I'm just not sure how that makes a difference.

I love Openshot and think Linux had great video editing...
