I have it remapped to backspace (colemak layout). The problem I had under OS X was that key repeat didn't work. Additionally setting Capslock in the OS X settings to control solved that problem.

They will yearn for Gnome 3, just like they yearned for Gnome 1 when Gnome 2 was released.

Why should I use this when systemd offers the same (minus the AUFS root fs)?

It should, they have added secure boot support in 12.3

At least heise (the publisher behind the H) that installing worked on a test computer with activated secure boot in their German article

http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/Die-Neuerungen-in-Opensuse-...

On their wiki opens use writes that it's still experimental: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:UEFI#Secure_Boot

Also the compression for example in libpng

There was a pretty good talk about it on Linux conf au

http://lwn.net/Articles/536862/ http://mirror.linux.org.au/linux.conf.au/2013/mp4/The_real_s...

It's not the same. Unity heavily relies on Ubuntu specific patches. There was quite some effort to get unity running under arch Linux

It only needs to overwrite the compression methods

What would be nice is a library that you can load with LD_Preload and replaces zlib compression. That way I could easily use e.g. Optipng with this new algorithm.

That's already part of the soc and also most likely part of the Apple AX SOCs of the iOS devices as Apple uses PowerVR for graphics.

Actually I had to write a ntp spoofer for an university class. With arpspoof it is easy to manipulate all ntp traffic. At least ntpdate didn't complain when you sent it some years forward or backward.

Actually it is already fixed in many distros. For example in Arch Linux it took a day to fix since the CVE request: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34005 http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2013/q1/420

On the other hand my system here still crashes if I type file:/// with one big letter.

How often do you sit in front of a computer without X11 or another graphical interface? Many people don't edit any remote files.

And when you do, you don't need to run the editor on the machine where the file lies. What's missing is a nice integration of ssh into the editors.

And written an own Libc: http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/

I too switched to OS X after 10 years of linux, and I have to say although there are some nice things I can't stand it anymore. For everything that sucks in Linux there's something in OS X that sucks.

- I needed to install Octave for university (No I won't get the 89$ student version for one course). For this I needed macports or home-brew. I chose macports. To get macports to run I needed some developer tools. Direct links for the developer tools required an apple developer account but I also could get XCode. For XCode I needed an apple account. I don't have a credit card, so I needed the help of google for creating an account without one. Macports now installed several additional versions of llvm and gcc. Under Linux this is just a <package-manager> octave

- I wanted to use Inkscape and Gimp (No I won't buy photoshop for the extreme few occasions that I need to edit pictures). Inkscape doesn't find X11 when starting and Gimp has the problem that the compress dialog for pngs spawns under the main window.

- Old versions of Software. No python3 ssh-copy-id or java7 by default.

- Package management is really broken when something isn't in the app store. You can't uninstall X11. You need to keep the virtualbox installer .dmg to be able to uninstall it. Virtualbox in macports didn't work by the way.

- I have to use the command line to mount a disk with ntfs-3g, because writing to ntfs doesn't work out of the box.

- Everybody wants my to pay for basic things that were solved decades ago. I don't want to pay for your reinvention of the wheel.

The difference between Linux and OS X is that if I want can use something different, write patches myself or talk with the developer directly. At apple everything goes to /dev/ignore. With Linux on a macbook I have best of both worlds as linux support for apple devices is actually quite good.

It's also interesting in this context that the allied forces disarmed people in Germany with the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler then armed the people in Germany again. You didn't even need a license for shotguns, rifles or ammunition.

Gun control doesn't necessarily have anything to do with dictatorship. Preventing a Coup d'état with a militia is just a pipe dream.

The problem isn't the video itself. It's the rest of the site. You could have posted a direct link to the video:

Do we really want to give traffic to such a fringe site? (It's mainly about the E-Cat scam http://psiram.com/en/index.php/Focardi-Rossi_Energy-Catalyze... )

Electric cars are so common in Norway because they're actually cheaper there (lots of taxes on gasoline powered ones). At least that's what I heard.
