I’m gonna try to keep on focus but there’s so much LULZ on this that I can barely stop laughing at this.

The well known power bug, the one that made the Linux kernel to suck battery as hard as it could , has finally been fixed! AAAAWWWWW YEEEAAAH! Linux community delivers!

Let me check that, IMustSeeTehCodez™, LULWUT? You actually used the Microsoft Windows approach to solve this issue
Impossible all they do are CrappyTools™.

Well, I think nobody will notice, in fact, let’s borrow some more

Now look at this LongPHPCodez™ we have, which since we can see it and we can’t see the one Voldemoet™ has, it must have been invented here! Voldemort™ must have stolen it! Let’s fill a lawsuit since it well know that TheyCantCode™.

Ah, it feels good to be back.

Prior art is of course contained in http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780470496701.do.

I hardly need to tell you where to look, do I? Just read the damn thing. There are thousands of Linux PHP experts out there who know better than you do!

It‘s strange how the loons accuse MS of not being able to make good software, considering the Linux Desktop was built on the back of Microsoft‘s design ideas. KDE was a direct knock-off of the Windows UI, and Gnome was a knock off of KDE with the KDE logo replaced with Stallman‘s smelly foot. Gnome tried to diffetentate themselves with Gnome 2, but the recent unsuccesful attempt to rip off OS X by Canonical showed just how Windows-like the Gnome UI is.

I dunno; speaking as a non-graphicsy person, it seems to me that there’s a limited amount you can do with a “classic” desktop (folders, icons, big red button in lower left corner). The wonder is that the Loons have had about a hundred goes at it and got it horribly wrong almost every time. (I was just about OK with Gnome 2.)

Digging back, I think one root cause is that they were actually trying to reproduce the ghastly Common Desktop Environment from Solaris (complete with nasty Motif toolkit), and tried to mesh this with Windows 95 for some reason.

I agree in that there’s little to with the “classic” desktop, but is meant to be a real world analogy. Files, folders, windows as open drawers. Just do it right and don’t dick around. There may be need for other stuff but average Joe doesn’t give a dam.

The FOSS community is so full of themselves thinking they are innovating, but I loved when I read Shuttleworth saying “We should start 'implementing’ the retro interface” (edited for simplicity). Now they can’t even fix a problem that wasn’t a problem to begin with.

They are just a bunch of hackers hacking. Hacks are ugly, hacks should not be shipped, hacks may be for corner cases not the other way around.

But that’s OK, ItOnlyDamagesMe™!

Arguably Linux on the desktop is nothing but a corner case.

“Arguably Linux on the desktop is nothing but a corner case.”

Hahaha, Best. Joke. Ever.

Still, It would be fun to look at Android Linux-based kernel, just to see how many corner cases they got over there. Maybe by now with all the bug fixes they had to make it’s actually a true fork from Linux
