And they dont move the min/res/close buttons to get thing work. That’s design and usability.

i mean.. What?

are you FOR og AGAINST linux?

Really, I congratulate you. I always wondered if Linux distributions were made by human beings.
You answer so clearly to my final question:
Yes, they are men, theses peoples who had created and worked to produce these wtff distros.
They are ambitious, cynical and, above all, drunk on power.
Thank you very much!
May I ask you a question?
Obviously, you work hard to criticize rightly all these annoying defects in linux distros. Don’t you take the risk to be listen and your critics finally give a good help to improve their mess?
Actually aren’t you a linux fan?

That’s a nice feature, but not what I mean. I mean when you drag a window to the lower-left corner of the screen, the left and bottom boundaries of the window should stop when they hit the edge, so you can quickly push a window out of the way, and it will resize so that the entire window is still on-screen and all scrollbars and content are still visible.

“As far as the ‘windicators’ go, it sounds like he is just reinventing the status bar … but at the top.”

True.

“Per app volume control is nice but Windows 7 already does this as well with it’s main volume control, presenting a control for each app in the main mixer.”

Well Ubuntu does that, too, putting a control for each app inside the PulseAudio preferences. The reason I like the Windicators volume control idea is that the controls are attached to the Window they control, instead of disembodied in another invisible place. The title bar seems like the ideal place for stuff that applies to individual apps, but isn’t controlled by those apps, like window management and volume controls.

“Imagine if MS released a new version of Windows and they held a press conference announcing that the biggest highlight was a new wallpaper, colour scheme and redesigned buttons?”

Isn’t that pretty much what they did with Windows 7? Regular people don’t understand improvements to the underlying system, so Microsoft just stresses their new Aero theme and the ability to do tiling of windows, etc.

Real Adam King or not, this statement is pretty false since the author of this blog writes it from a mac.

If this is the Web interface to discussions about usability, what does that say about Gnome’s commitment to the issue?

It’s horribly reminiscent of the old Dilbert cartoon where the PHB admits that employees aren’t, after all, the most important asset of the company. They’re at number 11 — just below paperclips.

True, I suspect it’s because he’s the only one left who bothers to even try defending Linux, everyone else was beaten off a long time ago (in the comments on the LH’s blog).

The reason no-one bothers arguing anymore is, of course, that Linux Hater and all the others have got it right, Linux aint that great and is particularly being held back by the ‘community’ of dunderheaded fuckwits who insist — very loudly — that it’s perfect.

Either way, I don’t know why you guys still take even the real Adam so seriously (even a little bit is too much).

i’d kinda like to see if we could get Oiahohm (.. again: or whatever) back in the game, and he has a funny way of resurfacing whenever khark* posts anything.
