I use GNOME. - (folkert) - (55) - March 13, 2005, 11:35:14 PM EST

No, it's not insane. - (pwhysall) - (45) - March 14, 2005, 02:16:52 AM EST

Except - (ubernostrum) - (41) - March 14, 2005, 08:16:54 AM EST

Ummm. - (imric) - (40) - March 14, 2005, 08:42:44 AM EST

I don't think it's silly at all. - (pwhysall) - (39) - March 14, 2005, 09:05:05 AM EST

What's silly - (imric) - (36) - March 14, 2005, 10:30:18 AM EST

I don't think it's a hedge argument. - (cwbrenn) - (1) - March 14, 2005, 10:54:17 AM EST

To be honest, it's not that important to me - (imric) - (3) - March 14, 2005, 11:51:47 AM EST

To most computer users, - (ubernostrum) - (2) - March 14, 2005, 12:30:27 PM EST

No it means "I can change the wallpaper." - (static) - (1) - March 14, 2005, 10:04:03 PM EST

That's been a big thing in web-design the past few years. - (ubernostrum) - March 15, 2005, 07:56:13 PM EST

Tell that to Microsoft - (drewk) - March 14, 2005, 12:23:40 PM EST

I see. - (ubernostrum) - (26) - March 14, 2005, 11:25:43 AM EST

ROFL - actually, right! - (imric) - (25) - March 14, 2005, 11:58:54 AM EST

Ah yes, all that configurability. - (ubernostrum) - (24) - March 14, 2005, 12:19:13 PM EST

Ah yes, all that availability. - (imric) - (23) - March 14, 2005, 12:40:52 PM EST

You don't get it. - (ubernostrum) - (22) - March 14, 2005, 01:10:52 PM EST

Huh? - (bepatient) - (16) - March 14, 2005, 01:43:10 PM EST

"Removing functionality people find useful" - (ubernostrum) - (15) - March 14, 2005, 01:59:19 PM EST

Different Levels of Configuration options. - (folkert) - (14) - March 14, 2005, 02:57:26 PM EST

Harder than you think. - (pwhysall) - March 14, 2005, 03:25:01 PM EST

Users are stupid. - (ubernostrum) - (12) - March 14, 2005, 05:05:49 PM EST

I wonder... - (folkert) - (11) - March 14, 2005, 07:20:02 PM EST

I'm not. - (ubernostrum) - (10) - March 14, 2005, 08:44:29 PM EST

Bah. Firefox made configuration tweaking MORE accessable. -NT - (imric) - (9) - March 14, 2005, 09:02:52 PM EST

To expand on that - (drewk) - (6) - March 14, 2005, 10:36:56 PM EST

And I'm saying - (ubernostrum) - (5) - March 15, 2005, 04:13:38 PM EST

I completely disagree with that assertion. - (bepatient) - (4) - March 15, 2005, 06:28:50 PM EST

Let me explain something to you. - (ubernostrum) - (3) - March 15, 2005, 07:51:42 PM EST

Now let *me* explain something to *you* - (drewk) - (1) - March 15, 2005, 11:43:19 PM EST

Re: Bah. Firefox made configuration tweaking MORE accessabl - (ubernostrum) - (1) - March 15, 2005, 04:13:11 PM EST

So what? - (imric) - March 15, 2005, 04:31:43 PM EST

Ummm. What? - (imric) - (4) - March 14, 2005, 02:06:53 PM EST

The gconf editor is no harder than about:config -NT - (pwhysall) - (3) - March 14, 2005, 02:36:48 PM EST

And about:config is easier - (imric) - (2) - March 14, 2005, 02:42:00 PM EST

What was there before... - (pwhysall) - (1) - March 14, 2005, 02:46:48 PM EST

One last word (can't resist) - (imric) - March 14, 2005, 03:06:07 PM EST

Zenworks... - (folkert) - (1) - March 14, 2005, 02:36:41 PM EST

What Peter said. - (ubernostrum) - (8) - March 14, 2005, 02:39:06 AM EST

That's fine but... - (ben_tilly) - (6) - March 14, 2005, 03:10:21 AM EST

I sympathise with that. - (pwhysall) - (1) - March 14, 2005, 03:16:49 AM EST

I'm pickier than you think - (ben_tilly) - March 14, 2005, 11:20:28 AM EST

GNOME integration - (ubernostrum) - (3) - March 14, 2005, 06:09:49 AM EST

To me, GNOME sucks less than most other stuff. - (folkert) - (2) - March 14, 2005, 08:19:00 AM EST

Coming from OS/2... - (cwbrenn) - March 14, 2005, 10:45:11 AM EST

Maybe doing it every day is the trick - (ben_tilly) - March 14, 2005, 11:15:13 AM EST

That's really the part that ticks me off: - (admin) - March 14, 2005, 11:10:55 AM EST

What about those SMB shares? - (Another Scott) - (18) - March 14, 2005, 09:32:21 PM EST

You can do all of that! - (pwhysall) - (17) - March 15, 2005, 01:32:23 AM EST

Couldn't prove it by me. - (imric) - (7) - March 15, 2005, 06:50:05 AM EST

Worked out-of-the-box for me. - (ubernostrum) - (6) - March 15, 2005, 04:15:41 PM EST

Which means what? - (imric) - (5) - March 15, 2005, 04:44:58 PM EST

Honestly? - (ubernostrum) - (4) - March 15, 2005, 07:58:14 PM EST

Uh huh. Yah. This discussion is OVER. - (imric) - (3) - March 15, 2005, 08:30:10 PM EST

Really? - (ubernostrum) - (1) - March 15, 2005, 08:46:41 PM EST

Re: When in doubt, claim superiority. - (ubernostrum) - (3) - March 15, 2005, 07:49:54 PM EST

That's a false dichotomy. - (admin) - (2) - March 15, 2005, 10:00:20 PM EST

Nobody ever said "no configuration" - (ubernostrum) - (1) - March 15, 2005, 10:27:40 PM EST

Neither did I. -NT - (admin) - March 15, 2005, 10:37:23 PM EST

We seem to be talking about different things. - (Another Scott) - March 15, 2005, 11:24:27 PM EST

Thats why I use XFCE. - (bepatient) - March 14, 2005, 08:26:18 AM EST
