DaemonFC"Quebec is the only province in Canada that opted out of the CPP. The Quebec Pension Plan, or QPP, is the province of Quebec's own version of the Canada Pension Plan. Almost mirroring the CPP exactly, the QPP is a contributory earnings-related pension plan that pays benefits in the event of the earner becoming disabled, retiring, or dying. Both Quebec and the federal government tax benefits paid from the QPP."May 15 08:12

DaemonFCwith dconfMay 15 19:38
sebsebsebDaemonFC: well whatever, at least with Ubuntu Classic Desktop in 11.04, they un messed something up :)May 15 19:38
Real-Rusty<DaemonFC> ya but that is actually what the game plan was with unity bad for people who like to customiseMay 15 19:38
DaemonFCthe registry was a bad idea on Windows, gconf made a lot of the same problems, but dconf is worse May 15 19:38
DaemonFCand what's even worse is some apps use gconf and some use dconfMay 15 19:39
DaemonFCand some use bothMay 15 19:39
Real-RustyMS has actually tied to lock the WIN UI a few times but hackers said cool free money to wright customization themesMay 15 19:39
DaemonFCtheir settings system in GNOME 3 is a clusterfuckMay 15 19:39
sebsebsebyay they gave users choice on how to shut down and log out graphically in 11.04's Ubuntu Classic Desktop, so on the top right,  with their lame do you really want to messages,  or the upstream Gnome 2 way like they used to before 10.04, with shut down and log out in system menu, and the auto shut down if untouched after a minute  feature :DMay 15 19:39
DaemonFCwhat could be worse than thousands of little dot files? Go use GNOME and find outMay 15 19:40
DaemonFCtell me how it works out for youMay 15 19:40
sebsebsebso yeah at least that got sorted out in the last version of Ubuntu to have Gnome 2 with their patchesMay 15 19:40
DaemonFCGNOME 3's lack of a shut down feature is retardedMay 15 19:40
DaemonFCit turns 2 clicks into 2 clicks to log out and 2 more to turn the system offMay 15 19:41

_Goblinschestowitz: do you want me to call you?May 15 20:28

Real-RustyOK yes but then not the 100% you are talking aboutMay 15 20:29
MinceRsebsebseb: no matter how many times they keep saying it, it doesn't make it a good ideaMay 15 20:29
twittertrying to run a bunch of non free drivers is a bad idea, just use gnu/linuxMay 15 20:30
DaemonFCMinceR, They have to implement thousands of Windows bugs to be compatible with WindowsMay 15 20:30
DaemonFCor implement a tricky compatibility shim system like newer versions of Windows useMay 15 20:30
twitterno matter how many bugs you implement, you will never escape Microsoft's maliceMay 15 20:30
MinceRsebsebseb: even if you mumble to yourself 24/7 "putting half the windowing system into the kernel is a really good idea" it will still be a stupid ideaMay 15 20:30
Real-Rustysebsebseb: if it is the 100% that idea claims people want then the viruses and so on come with, or it is only part way like wine and some things wont workMay 15 20:30
