I think current and the next decade is going to be worst for the anti-social behavior cases. I mean people will judge each other based on some milestones and will outcast them, this includes habit of spending time on the Internet. I mean how many of you don't attend some of the social gathering and instead spend time with family or interwebs? This type of behavior is going to be on rise as joint families goes extinct and also have some introvert members in them. People who are not sweet talkers, good looking or intellectually dominating are going to stay behind on such social gathering. That way their behavior will be judged as anti-social not because they didn't tried, but because the social manipulation which destroyed their self esteem from joining such places and they chose not to be get bullied. Let's admit it, people love to corner one person and talk BS in parties or social gathering. The aim of social gathering among intellectually low lifers is to make fun of others. Been there, seen that, suffered from that.

So... By that logic, sleeping must also be bad for ones teeth. Unless of course they talk in their sleep.

As per ayurveda (ancient indian hit-n-miss medicine study), our mouth develops anti-bacterial liquid and protects tongue and teeth while we are taking nap. Drinking a glass of water before brushing teeth helps because if that liquid goes into stomach, improves digestion, works against acne and some other stuff.

Psychology signals were used as weapon in society for centuries. These days it is heavily used in corporate places and social interaction to bully people.

Some of the examples -
- You don't work 9 to 5? geez, night shift work? ewww.
- Oh you don't shake hands with people all time in our company ? you must be sociopath.
- You want raise? why are you not working on saturday and sunday?
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Social examples -
- You are 30 and not yet married? OMG, your childhood must be very sad.
- You are married for 1 year and no child yet, so sorry for you guys.
- You spend time in front of PC and don't join our discussion where we ridicule our other absent friends, you're anti-social biach cheesy
- You don't earn much money like me? feel very sad for you.
- You got divorced ? sob sob sob.
- You don't keep in touch with me 24x7? I got new boyfrrnd, I iz your ex now. :p

You just can't avoid these milestone arranged by social structure. Large number of these milestones are part of psychological hacking and breaking them makes you either sociopath or psychopath, depending on whichever is worst for that counselor. cheesy

Gmail is laggy on Firefox and also nagging a lot with ads and usability. I hope they don't do that to other browsers than IE.

I like the interface.

I meant that exclusively in relation to creating software distribution packages, i.e. installers, setup files, packages, whatever anyone wants to call them. If you know something I don't about how to sanely create a package for Linux, please, do tell me~! smiley

How build system has to do with simplicity of the OS? Software on linux is routed via repository and software center these days, installers are hardly needed in these cases for popular programs as community takes care of it. And this method is much easier and better than windows software installation. Hell, I am sure they'll start with repository concept soon. Again, You're comparing build package system for multi-distro linux to that of single standing windows. I am sure you do know that there are formats specific to the distribution and then there is build from source method. Software like gDebi helps in any case and user has to do nothing other than downloading the archive. To get to your point about better packaging system, there was Installjammer, for both windows and linux(or *nix) which is now discontinued and then there are some commercial installers and free like installanywhere and autopackage.

Windows on the other hand is pure simplicity.

I have to disagree on that part. Windows 8 anyone? cheesy

That Said I personally found enlightenment the ugliest manager ever. tongue

Besides linux distro options are not that bad. I mean having 1k or 10k distro doesn't change the fact that you have to select the window manager of your choice and move on with it. What's wrong with having 10k or more distros? nothing. It's just that people are bombarded with options and they feel wrong about it. As for apple, it is getting way worst hell. Restriction is hell, packaged in sugar candy. Not even windows is that bad. I must say, between windows, apple and linux, the percentage of hell quota is increasing on apple's side.

Some of the softwares like say - Matlab and similar other academia softwares are commercial and they are on apple or windows. They don't usually have linux port for many reasons. So commercial academia applications on the apple and windows are better if more people are using it and it makes sharing of files easy without any file format conflict. That doesn't mean there are no applications on linux. There are and mostly they are ignored or not brought for many reasons.

I have seen nothing better in windows after using linux. I found windows to be more productive if the applications that you use are not buggy. Many of the open source and free software on *nix and linux world are made with keeping power users in mind and that's why there are very few apps which are more powerful on windows and don't exist on linux. Most of the apps which are in demand on windows are largely due to the popularity of applications, not because of the usability and features.

It's hard to take the same theme to VB or IPB. I mean not even SMF's new version have this type of smooth theme. I think making the background white and then adjusting few bits of the IPB theme can make it more readable. Something like vanilla forum theme.

IPB is fast if the bells and whistles like (calendar, shoutbox,gallery and few unwanted stuff turned off).

I also would like to see the badges moved to new forum if this transition is not mousered. tongue

.tar.bz, .gzip, type of files works on all distributions and you have to use respective terminal command to install from source.

.deb is debian distro specific file format and you have to use apt-get -i to install them. You're using mint which is under debians branch. That means you can compile this format on distro.

Another option- install gdebi and then use any format supported by debian to install software.

Ubuntu has gnome shell (unity) which uses nautilus, KDE uses konqueror and XFCE is on thunar. All these are installed with your distro. I think if you want two pane file managers then you have lots of choices. Some are ugly in UI but still powerful.
