100 Days of 3D Desktop - Ubuntu Compiz
7
--------------------------------------
1. Do you want to go back to 2D desktop after 100 days on 3D Compiz Linux ?
NO THANK YOU!!!
2. Has your productivity gone through the roof?
YES THANKS!!!
3. What of the appil/windummy retards who fluff about on 2D?
HOORA! GOOD LUCK TO THOSE RETARTDS!!!!
4. So what holds you back from improving productivity?
a) - Disk speed! Disk speed! Disk speed!
SSDs MUST improve their speed x10 to gain ANY further advantages
b) - Suite Catasrophe
Todays suites are the catastrophic failure points
for productivity loss. A productivity suite like Open Office
contain a handful of members that provide various functions
word processing and spreadsheet.
New suite building application framework
for suite builders that allows
functions to be dropped in from ALL GPL'd applications.
A suite builder application will glue relevant applications
into one application that can be opened once to process one
kind of job. For example a embedded electronic project development
kit and html documention suit could improve my productivity.
I would open the suit builder, drop in Konqueror for HTML
viewing, Seamonkey composer for HTML editing,
Eagle CAD for PCB schematic, Gambas for RS232 communications and
data gathering, SQL Server for data processing,
Open Office Calc for spreadsheet analysis and graphing tools.
The purpose of suit builder is to facilitate rapid
creation of work and its communication.
With GLP's code, this is entirely feasible.
With proprietory code, this is entirely IMPOSSIBLE.
5. Anything missing?
Post processing free drop in of audio and video clips.
Don't want to spend time converting audio to mp3/ogg/proprietory etc.
Don't want to spend time cleaning up and compressing videos.
Just want to take the best compressed, noise eliminated
license free format ogg and theora and drop it in directly from
recorder/video camera/web cam directly into HTML documentation
and suite built applications to widely distribute and communicate.
6. Any final parting insults to the COLA-TROLLs?
Yes - up yours!
3D desktops and free software delivers power
that proprietory WILL NEVER DELIVER.
Use it for 100 days and your brain will start to take advantage
of 3D working and you will never go back to the 2D desktop again.

Education is not "cruel". I would love to hear your thoughts. Assuming you
have any.

Compiz is a lot of eye-candy and special effects with no purpose other
than glitz. OSS on the other hand uses visual effects more sparingly but
there's a purpose to them. Example - wobbly windows are totally useless.

I agree about Compiz... can you give some examples of innovative or creative
ways OSS uses visual effects "with a purpose to them"?

KDE through version 3 (and possibly earlier) has the adjustable
translucency effect on menus and later on, on application windows which
I think is very useful. For example, when I'm running all nodes on video
rendering, I still like to run my xchat; I'll have this at 75% opaque so
I can see what Kino's doing rather than just guess by looking at the
progress % on the taskbar...

OK: so you find the ability to make a chat window partially transparent to
be useful. While I do not think I would like that - and have not in the
past when I have tested such things, I can understand that.

Seems like the norm. Seems lots of systems are heading toward this glitz
that does no good... Vista is a mess with it and even OS X has the
reflecting dock, transparent menu bar, and Dashboard's ripple... and, of
course, the moving background of Time Machine. All glitz that does little
to aid in usage... but Compiz takes the cake!

The difference is Linux isn't being sold for what Compiz can do.
Nothing like selling a new OS based on a desktop theme...

It takes a Snot Michael Glassers dishonesty to dismiss *technical*
*capabilities* as unnessessary "glitz" while constantly trying to advocate
the overpolished but useless OSX as the way to go.
Especially as the "glitz" effects of compiz are *configurable* and it is
the users choice what to enable and what left disabled.
In reality Snot Glasser sees that linux again has achieved technical status
he would rather see with his apple crap

One: where have I advocated, in COLA, as OS X being the way to go?
Two: please note I have been very clear where I think Apple has useless
"glitz" for OS X... something you show no sign of understanding.
And, yes, I know you will run like a scared bunny from this... you simply
cannot defend your claims. You just make them up... and show off your
ignorance.

You just make up things and attribute them to me. Why?

I think we [the folks who make Linux desktops] don't yet deliver a good
