Same here (also Germany). Worse yet, even if a german broadcaster was offering it, chances are you would only be able to get it dubbed in Germany without the option to switch to the original language.
no? Most distributions transitioned to either gnome 3 or unity from gnome 2, not just ubuntu. And yes, Gnome 3 was part of the reason why I considered and in the end switched to OS X for my main machine (from Gentoo).
Very unfortunate title imho, since minimising windows can be accomplished by far easier methods (the button in the menu or pressing command+M for instance).
That's actually what kind of happened to me with MP3-Players. "Mhm, I could buy an iPod Nano for ~150 or this whatever-brand with more space for ~100. Two months later I got the iPod Classic, best decision ever."
If it's non-technical people speaking about the differences between to technical things you can almost guarantee that they are trying to compare apples and oranges.
While I agree that mediocre can be "good enough" (e.g. I don't see any reason to buy high end headphones, when I am perfectly happy with ~150 Euro ones), I think this should always be a decision made consciously, not one born out of stupidity or ignorance.
If those people don't require any of the things that make a "Samsung iPad" different than the Apple one, then fine, go save a few bucks, but don't chose it because you just assume that it's all the same.
Chrome's Webstore[1] is even uglier imho, but yeah as far as package managers go I wouldn't want to use it to be honest. The whole Windows 8 style on XP doesn't help either.
I did that and it is actually incredibly easy to get used to (within a couple of hours). The bigger thing you have to get used to -- and which I suspect most will struggle with -- is not moving around when in insert mode.
You could try the kindle app for your computer/phone/tablet. I like reading books on my iPhone on my daily commute and it's quite nice (except for some technical books where the source code formatting is obviously quite bad with the small screen).
> Now the downsides, which are probably determinative for us. First, quite simply a lot of people don’t trust Facebook for reasons that range from quite reasonable to totally paranoid. Second, and more significant in my mind, is that many people don’t want to bring their true identities into the comments section of a political site. [...]
> For those two reasons, especially the second, we’re probably never going to do this.
It's like "yeah we know people probably won't like it, but fuck them."
Honestly, the article seems rather pointless to me. The kind of people who don't know what a bootloader is should probably not be using Arch Linux or Slackware. Not to mention that at least Arch Linux has a far more detailed and better official documentation, so experienced users who like to try out Arch would probably be much happier with that.
