I like eye candy don't you like eye candy too?

Now here's an interesting read and a glimpse of the probable future of X. Yeah I know it's Gnome propaganda and all and you hate eye candy. Well, don't read it! (In fact it has more to do with X than Gnome )

Could you not word things so annoyingly?
Your post started out well enough then bleeded into what I would expect from a mandrake lover defending his love of KDE.
Short of that I found the "article" little more than the same old ramblings of an insane GNOME user going on about the linux desktop "situation".
I can't help but have a laugh every time I read these little rants and continue to hope they just "go away".
I bet in about 5 years we'll be reading about how HURD is the next big thing but just not "newb" friendly enough and/or doesn't look as good as it could.

  • Is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts?  if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?

    is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts?  if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?

    I often use my shuffle while exercising, cleaning, and just generally going about my day. Never once has it come unclipped exept for when I got the earbud cord caught on something and got said earbuds yanked out of my ears. I have permanently solved that problem by simply running the cord under my shirt. Works like a charm! I can't answer you about the nano, though I'd say it has a higher likelihood of coming off as it is a bit heavier.

  • Screen looks like it is too big to fit ipad 1

    Screen looks like it is too big to fit ipad 1. Can only see part of the perimeter, icons along edge are showing 20%. Running the latest software update, it has been sycned and rebooted. Whats next?

    It's in the General>Accessibility page in settings.  If on, you may have double-tapped with three fingers, as James suggests.  If you don't want this feature, turn it off.

  • WHY DON'T YOU AT LEAST IMPROVE THOSE BRUSH STROKES?!

    I'm a professional digital artist-illustrator for about 7 years now. using photoshop since early years of my career. CS2, CS4, CS5.. on more than several mashines, top line HP workstations and EliteBook.
    and one thing that bothers me and most of my colleagues is the quality of the brush strokes that PS provides.
    why don't you improve em for christsake?!?
    I must admit, this is a software issue, not mashine. neither the resolution, some options or tablet series has anything to do with this.. and it's especially visible on thicker strokes.
    we work on intuos3, intuos4, intuos5, apple, win and whatnot. ant it's most obvious that the brush lines are as ugly as hell in this program entirely through all series.
    when it comes to non-vector lineart, thats' basically why most of the artists/designers go for other progams, such as paint tool sai, sketchbook pro, manga studio and etc, and do the effects/coloring only in PS.
    here's an ex. how the brush lines end. + if you work slower/move your pen more precise they go even worse!
    I won't go further, like talking about the LAG with mixer brtushes and etc. most of the CG forums and communities are allready full of those discussions. you cannot even compete on this issue with other products.
    that might be also a solution to rise your sales around the globe. cos now - why to buy a <1200$ worth PS program in europe when you'll probably end up mainly using paint tool sai or sketchbook pro for around 90$ and go for GIMP (free software) for effects.

    I can understand a certain level of frustration, PAUZAK, but really?  Are you a part of the same universe I'm in?
    Your answer seems defensive; I'm just trying to help.
    Points answered:
    >then why other products managed to make it work?
    I was only commenting on the points made in the thread YOU linked to.  Apparently at least some people see the shoelace thing in the Wacom control panel.  Given that evidence, which I doubt was manufactured, your pretense seems to need questioning.  I suppose it's possible (actually, a certainty) that some products send different commands to the drivers than others, and that the drivers are doing things wrong only under some conditions.  That's why I asked whether the Smoothing setting affected your setup.
    >just like this forum.. can't make a reply like in other normal forums, or edit anything
    I'm having no problems replying, or editing using any of the major browsers, including Firefox.  I can't edit posts on an iPhone or iPad (not allowed to even try), but if you're using an actual computer and you can't even make the forum work, you have problems on your system.
    >adobe is. cannot make the most simple things to work right and not LAG
    Some operations in Photoshop are complex and when done with big brushes and all kinds of stuff (fuzzy edges, mixing, etc.) turned on they slow down, but with reasonable sized brushes I've been able to paint stuff, and I certainly don't have the world's fastest computer by today's standards.  And even so, I'm not sure that's a situation where it's not working right per se...  Maybe just one where a better computer is needed to paint with really big brushes and all the fancy stuff turned on.  That *could* be a better computer than any invented yet, but that's okay - see next year's lineup...
    >looks like the staff is obviously looking somewhere else
    Wow, and you posted that *right* after one of the senior Photoshop scientist/engineers at Adobe responded specifically to you.  When's the last time an engineer from any other big software company responded to you?
    >Photoshop is still a huge and expencive disappointment so far. ask any pro
    Yeah, all the pros just avoid Photoshop.  That's why Adobe is doing so poorly as a business.  They can hardly sell any copies at all! 
    PAUZAK, I'll go out on a limb and say making things up and trolling for shock value and blaming the world for your own problems probably aren't going to help you reach a solution.

  • Hey apple, why don't you just fix your email forwarding?

    There is a lot of problems described in this comunity about icloud email forwarding.
    Personally I, spent a lot of time to make this fa***g email forwarding work. But it doesn't work.
    I started yesterday, but only today morning I got an email from apple that it is enabled. But it doesn't work.
    If it is not work properly - just disable it and people won't spend a lot time wondering it is work or not.
    Also, I have tried to setup google POP3 "Check mail from other accounts" , but icloud mail doesn't support POP3 protocol.
    So, apple, why don't you just fix your email forwarding? or disable it forever?

  • IMovie HD - Trouble!  Video is skipping like it has too much information??

    On my current iMovie HD project, the Video portion of the playback is skipping during the last song I am working on. It's almost like there is too much information during that song, but I have not added transitions, sound effects, etc to the clips.
    I have tried deleting song and adding a different song, same problem. The other 30 minutes of the movie play perfectly.
    Wowsers. Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thank you Jason for responding so quickly.  I clear the auto-linking and do my own linking between tables.  As you said, "there's nothing smart about CR's smart links". 
    And I was referring to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 version 9.0.3073.  The problem I initially had was linking CR to the server.  Thankfully I had a lot of help from the linking forum that helped me with it.  I'm running Windows 7 and it appears the operating software has two ODBC one is 32 and the other 64. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator the user DSN is set to the SQL Server.
    Back to this problem.  Trying to figure out the double item numbers and I have tested it with only that one particular table and did not link it to another.  I also have tried it with linking it to other tables to see if somehow that could put a restriction on the information.  The parameters really doesn't work here unless I'm setting it up incorrectly.  Nor does the Select Expert really do what I need it to do. The options I can choose from: Itemnumber:  is any value, is equal to, is not equal to, is one of... nothing gives me the option to say only choose the child if the child was purchased.  And I'm not advance enough to figure out a script to do it.
    Per sales order (I have the report to group by the sale order number) I need it to list the correct item that was purchased by the customer.  The report pulls into the detail section of the report the parent and child item number when only the child item was ordered and not the parent.
    I have a feeling you are correct in saying
    Don thank you very much for the registry edit.  It has saved me a step in creating new reports.
    Thank you both again,
    Cindy W.

  • Why don't you have a search engine?

    Well, from the user name, it looks like I've had problems with you in the past. I am guessing you didn't answer me. No matter, I have more questions.
    1. why don't you have a search engine? I am getting rid of Google, duckduckgo is still amateurish, and Bing is a Nazi.
    2. why don't you have the guts to include a contact email on your site?
    3. why does a new tab open up as a blank and why can't it be personalized?

    2. There is no contact email for Firefox, just as there is no contact email for most free and open source software projects. We would be flooded with hundereds of emails a minute and don't have the resources to handle that. That is why we have this support site to help those users who need support. This way the community can help with support as well :)
    3. Try an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customize-aboutnewtab https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customize-aboutnewtab]

  • Why don't you remove the Gd limit for sharing an idea?

    I have copied/pasted my original text and suspect will be forced to make it public in mozillaZine or... this limit is extremely annoying! First of all... some search engine? searchqu.com took over Firefox 4.0 and I.E.... after reading in mozillaZine that uninstalling/re-installing FF didn't work, I tried various ideas that were reported to work... none did for me! So I downloaded and installed Google Chrome. Its search engine had been compromised by searchqu.com as well but I was able to set it back to Google.com! Then I discovered that Google Chrome downloaded files 6 times faster than did FF 4.0, FF 3.6 or I.E. 8. So I am going to stick with GC. However, if someone can tell me how to get FF downloading at 15 Mbps like GC... I will be back... it is difficult to leave FF after Netscape>Firebird>Firefox! The upload rate is indeed cut in half... but that will just keep FF installed and used on occasion. I am truly hoping to get a solution to my speed problem... it is indeed a problem only on my computer and my netbook... the speed thing is fine on my wife's computer! ??? This is the only way I could find of informing someone about this weird problem without making it public! But as all can see, I had to go public! :o) By the way... uninstalling Firefox including all data then installing it worked for me! That damn searchqu.com is gone... at least has been for a few hours now!

    Apple seems to have been gradually replacing flags with alphabetic symbols wherever possible.  Chinese and Japanese have been this way for quite a long time, and in Yosemite I count 30 keyboards (including Greek), nearly half the total, without the flag. 
    The easiest way to get the Greek flag back would be to download the app Ukelele, which includes copies of the Greek keyboard and the old flag icon, which you can install and use instead of Apple's.

  • What good is it to have a router that doesn't block mac addresses like its supposed too!!!

    what good is it to have a router that doesn't block mac addresses like its supposed too!!!

    At 10:30pm I think I'd like to talk this out....Lemme give you some more details and lets get some hardware programmers involved. I think this is a cross-platform conflict or at the remote a outdated hardware problem. What do you need from me to track this issue down? I have been patient and have waited over 1yr or maybe 2, waiting for an update to correct this issue. Alas, there has been no solution to this problem. I have 13 seperate MAC addy's on the network. 1 wired and the the rest wireless(some constant, others random). All on a schedule(some timed access, some all the time). I have macBooks, Labtops, Desktops, Ipads, Ipods, DSIs, Windows7, WindowsXP Pro, PS3, AppleTV and a few random BlueTooths. Not that much.
    Anyways, I think somehow there is a hole because of cross-platfom compatability that is making my daughter able to get on the net unless I change the wireless password......
    No I have no proof...It's just a feeling

  • ABAP/4 Open SQL statement with WHERE ... LIKE and pattern too long

    Dear All,
    I am getting an error "ABAP/4 Open SQL statement with WHERE ... LIKE and pattern too long" while executing the following statement:
    CLEAR LS_RANGE.
    LS_RANGE-SIGN     = 'I'
    +LS_RANGE-OPTION     = 'CP'     +
    LS_RANGE-LOW     = 'S_ADMI_FCD'
    LS_RANGE-HIGH     = 'S_ADMI_FCD'
    COLLECT LS_RANGE INTO LT_RANGE.
    SELECT *
               FROM UST12
               INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE LT_OBJECT_VALUES
               WHERE FIELD IN LT_RANGE
               AND AKTPS   = 'A'.
    For options like BT(Between), EQ(Equal) in range table, this above query is executing without dump. But for option CP, it simply dumps & in dump what i found is, it is concatenating the value in low & high.
    Does anyone have any idea regarding open sql using range tables.
    Thanks,
    Bhupinder

    Hi,
    I commented as follows:
    If  LS_RANGE-HIGH is empty, you can use EQ, NE, GT, LE, LT,CP, and NP. These operators are the same as those that are used for logical expressions. Yet operators CP and NP do not have the full functional scope they have in normal logical expressions. They are only allowed if wildcards ( '*' or '+' ) are used in the input fields. If wildcards are entered on the selection screen, the system automatically uses the operator CP.
    If  LS_RANGE-HIGH  is filled, you can use BT (BeTween) and NB (Not Between). These operators correspond to BETWEEN and NOT BETWEEN that you use when you check if a field belongs to a range. You cannot use wildcard characters.
    You can try:
    CLEAR LS_RANGE.
    LS_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
    +LS_RANGE-OPTION = 'CP' +
    LS_RANGE-LOW = 'S_ADMI_FCD'.
    LS_RANGE-HIGH = 'S_ADMI_FCD'.
    FIND '*' IN LS_RANGE.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      LS_RANGE-OPTION = 'CP'.
    ELSE.
      LS_RANGE-OPTION = 'EQ'.
    ENDIF.
    COLLECT LS_RANGE INTO LT_RANGE.
    SELECT *
    FROM UST12
    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE LT_OBJECT_VALUES
    WHERE FIELD IN LT_RANGE
    AND AKTPS = 'A'.
    If you use wildcards the LS_RANGE  length should not exceed 10 characters.
    Hope this information is help to you.

  • When using printer Epson R1900 with Aperture 3 and if I mistakenly choose the wrong paper such as, epson's luster instead of glossy, does that change the exposure? Like make it too dark one or two stops!

    When using printer Epson R1900 with Aperture 3 and if I mistakenly choose the wrong paper such as, epson's luster instead of glossy, does that change the exposure? Like make it too dark one or two stops!

    Hi,
       If you choose the incorrect settings for printing, yes - the print quality will be affected.
    Different papers absorb the ink differently, so you can end up with prints that are too light, too dark, or have a colour cast if you make incorrect choices in your Aperture or printer settings.

  • HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
    If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.

    Does iPhoto not have safeguards against accidentally deleting an entire photo book, which is very easily done with a single press of delete (and which can be done when you think you are deleting just a photo)? No "are you sure you want to delete?" before it happens? No way of copying your book while you are working on it (to make multiple versions of it, or just to have a safeguard copy), and no real way of restoring it after (since, remarkably, the photo books don't appear as items - items which could very easily be recovered otherwise)?

    I get a dialog box when I try to delete a book.
    And if you right click on the book in the left column you can duplicate it so you can have multiple versions.
