jonothe same can be found when people get Android phonesApr 18 04:57
DaemonFCjono, From what I understand, Unity is using a lot of obsolete softwareApr 18 04:58
jonothere is no doubt some folks will take a little while to get used to UnityApr 18 04:58
jonoDaemonFC, what is obsolete?Apr 18 04:58
DaemonFCsine it has the old GNOME 2 versions of a lot of thingsApr 18 04:58

DaemonFCwell, for starters, Empathy is still the GNOME 2 versionApr 18 04:58
jonoDaemonFC, Empathy is not UnityApr 18 04:58
jonoit is an appApr 18 04:58
jonoUnity is just the shellApr 18 04:58
jononothing in unity is obsolete softwareApr 18 04:59
DaemonFCso why isn't Unity using the newest GNOME applications? GTK+ isn't that hugeApr 18 04:59
DaemonFCmaking room for Mono I guessApr 18 04:59
DaemonFCand keeping it all on a CDApr 18 04:59
jonoDaemonFC, you are conflating two different things - the app choice has nothing to do with UnityApr 18 04:59
DaemonFC*GTK+ 3Apr 18 04:59
jonoUnity is a shell, and just a shell, it does not reflect the app choice in UbuntuApr 18 04:59
jonoDaemonFC, in any case, we ship the latest apps from the GNOME platformApr 18 05:00
jonowe just don't ship GNOME ShellApr 18 05:00
jonoand Empathy is the IM client of choice in GNOMEApr 18 05:00
DaemonFCso since these old software versions are obsolete and unmaintained, when are they going to be updated to the GTK+3 versions?Apr 18 05:00
jonoand it offers a generally better user experience than PidginApr 18 05:00
DaemonFCI doubt you can keep using the GNOME 2 stack foreverApr 18 05:00
jonoDaemonFC, what is obsolete?Apr 18 05:00
jonoEmpathy has a thriving developer communityApr 18 05:00
jonoalso, GNOME 2.x is not obsoleteApr 18 05:01
jonoit is still being maintainedApr 18 05:01
DaemonFCPidgin has lots of plugins, and it generally works when I connect to any of its couple dozen protocolsApr 18 05:01
jonoDaemonFC, sure, and you can install Pidgin in UbuntuApr 18 05:01
DaemonFCand I can do fun things like disabling logging or add proper IRC supportApr 18 05:01
jonoso tell me what is obsolete in Ubuntu?Apr 18 05:01
DaemonFCI consider anything that GNOME has abandoned that you ship, as obsoleteApr 18 05:02
jonoDaemonFC, what that we ship has GNOME abandonedApr 18 05:02
jono?Apr 18 05:02
jonoeverything we ship is actively maintained in GNOMEApr 18 05:02
jonoso give me some examplesApr 18 05:02
DaemonFCthere's still distributions shipping GNOME 2.32, sure, it's not exactly "ancient", but I'd like to know when you plan to use the GTK+ 3 versions of the GNOME stackApr 18 05:02
jonoDaemonFC, the reason we are shipping GNOME 2.x is because (a) GNOME 3 was release after feature freeze and we can't ship two versions of GTK - so there is no real need to ship GNOME 3.xApr 18 05:03
jonobut in any case, tell me which apps are obsolete in Ubuntu?Apr 18 05:04
DaemonFCjono, I also don't get the global menu or why you can't right click notification applets, as other pointsApr 18 05:04
DaemonFCthey kind of went to war with the notification tray half heartedly in Kubuntu with that indicator widget, but it's easy to killApr 18 05:04
jonoDaemonFC, I am not selling you Unity - if you don't like it...well, whatever :-)Apr 18 05:05
jonowe all like different thingsApr 18 05:05
jonobut we are not shipping obsolete software - everything we are shipping is maintained activelyApr 18 05:06
DaemonFCjono, Well, I'm maybe being a little hard on Unity. Having used both I can see why you didn't want to go with GNOME 3.Apr 18 05:11
DaemonFCTo that point I guess I can agree that Unity is not that bad, you can still do things like maximize and minimize, and GNOME 3 is a bit unreasonable in that wayApr 18 05:12
DaemonFCand notification applets are visible, which is also the right thingApr 18 05:12
DaemonFCWill that dock ever be able to be moved to different corners?Apr 18 05:12
DaemonFCor is that something that there will not be a setting for?Apr 18 05:12
jonoDaemonFC, yeah, I think all design changes are emotional too - it's just weird when shit changes :-)Apr 18 05:13
jonoDaemonFC, I think the dock will be movable in future releasesApr 18 05:14
jonothis release was spent on just trying to get a shippable productApr 18 05:14

DaemonFCjono, Don't you guys kind of consider Flash a wart?Apr 18 05:28
DaemonFCI mean it does cause display corruption when you use nspluginwrapper to make it run in a 64-bit browserApr 18 05:28
jonoDaemonFC, not really, of course, it sucks that it is propreitary and we can't fix bugs, but it is a simple reality of life - people need itApr 18 05:28
cubezzzthere's gnashApr 18 05:29
cubezzzand you can live without flashApr 18 05:30

DaemonFCThe idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place.Apr 18 07:24

DaemonFCA lot of companies are so cheap that I was dealing with Windows NT 4 at work until 2007Apr 18 07:26
DaemonFCit was released in 1996 iircApr 18 07:26
DaemonFCCompanies like to cling to a version of Windows, build a stack of in house software a mile high on top of it, then say they can't run the new version or else their software will break. Of course, what they are left to do when the machines running that version of Windows start breaking down is an exercise left for later.Apr 18 07:28
DaemonFCIt's just so mind numbingly stupid. After it all comes crashing down on them, they rebase to the newest Windows and start all over again.Apr 18 07:29

DaemonFCMinceR, There's a reason people don't want to leave Windows XP. Several actually. One obviously being the cost of Windows 7, not just the cost of the software, but the fact that they need to buy a new machine just to run it.Apr 18 07:33
DaemonFC2. Would be peripherals, Windows 7 doesn't tend to like XP era printers and webcams and scanners and so on.Apr 18 07:33
MinceRthere's also the m$ tax problemApr 18 07:33
DaemonFC3. Would be software that doesn't work anymore.Apr 18 07:33
DaemonFC4. Would be the fact that it took 10 years and over 3,000 patches to beat XP into some kind of shape.Apr 18 07:34
DaemonFCAnd try as they might to whitewash Windows 7, it has bugsApr 18 07:34
DaemonFClotsApr 18 07:34
DaemonFCMinceR, just for a laugh I plugged in a Windows 98-era printer/fax/scanner (Lexmark)Apr 18 07:35
DaemonFCLinux recognized it all and set it upApr 18 07:35
DaemonFCeven WIndows XP never got a driver for thatApr 18 07:35
cubezzzright, that's the final nail in the coffin for a lot of folks, forced upgrades, no support for older peripheralsApr 18 07:36
cubezzzthe upgrade treadmillApr 18 07:36
DaemonFCThen I busted out an old Creative webcam that never had a Vista or Windows 7 driverApr 18 07:36
DaemonFCLinux recognized it immediatelyApr 18 07:36
DaemonFCThen I thought it would be funny to go grab an old PCI bus Sound Blaster from the mid 90sApr 18 07:37
DaemonFCWindows XP/Vista/7 all failed to recognize it, though Windows 2000 had a driver available that workedApr 18 07:37
DaemonFCLinux can still use itApr 18 07:37
DaemonFC:)Apr 18 07:37
DaemonFCLinux also recognizes 3dfx Voodoo cards, all the way back to 1997Apr 18 07:38
DaemonFCthe furthest those got on Windows was a leaked alpha driver for Windows 2000 before the company went bankruptApr 18 07:39
DaemonFCsomeone hacked on the leaked alpha driver (that crashes a lot) and got it to work on XP where it crashes more and doesn't work with DirectX at allApr 18 07:39
DaemonFCsee: pointlessApr 18 07:39
cubezzzkind of hard to hack a closed source driverApr 18 07:40
cubezzzoh you mean they had the sourceApr 18 07:40
DaemonFCwell, you can sometimes, if you get lucky and they just rigged the INF file to fail under certain versions of Windows or disable features on cheaper hardware that's identical to the expensive model. (See: Creative v. DanielK)Apr 18 07:41
DaemonFCCreative Labs is the biggest bunch of con artists of any hardware makerApr 18 07:42
DaemonFCI mean they all use tricks like this to create price pointsApr 18 07:42
cubezzzwell...Apr 18 07:42
DaemonFClike certain RadeonHDs are really FirePro cards and the only difference is what features the driver allowsApr 18 07:42
cubezzzI think SB16 ISA is well understoodApr 18 07:42
cubezzzif you want to program itApr 18 07:42
cubezzzof course, it's oldApr 18 07:43
DaemonFCI think it's despicable, but you run into Intel doing a lot of underclocking + relabeling to make cheap processorsApr 18 07:43
