It's true that always need to Google on some keyboard shortcuts. But once used to the common shortcuts like Cmd-O to open things up, Cmd-W to close window Cmd-Q to quit whole application Other than that it is quite a nice experience. One thumbs up feature that I like is the Multi-Touch Trackpad, they have for Macbook. It's really really convenient for me. 4-fingers swipe UP, Show Desktop, all things hide to corner 4-fingers swipe DOWN, Expose, split up all the windows 4-fingers swipe Left/Right : Application chooser same as Cmd-Tab 2-fingers scrolling is the best of ALL. No longer need the page up/down button, Besides, it could even scroll other application windows while u working on your current window without click over to activate that window. (Good for multiple browser page, doing comparison or other stuff) I’ve switched to OS X couple months back too. It’s true that always need to Google on some keyboard shortcuts.

]]> Comment on OS X vs Ubuntu: Ubuntu wins! by Virgil http://regebro.wordpress.com/2008/12/02/os-x-vs-ubuntu-ubuntu-ftw/#comment-1500 Virgil Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:59:09 +0000 http://regebro.wordpress.com/?p=246#comment-1500 Glad you use Ubuntu, and erased OSX. I dislike the expensive 'Use a Mac to run your iLife" even more than the 'There is another type of system other than Windows?" mentality. Linux is starting to really evolve, and I am fond of the GNOME and Ubuntu projects very much. The professional polish of Ubuntu in the new Karmic beta is really showing. Not only this, but it is free software, which can be used for any purpose, and for anyone. With free software, you do not ever need to pirate or activate, and it will always do exactly what you want, and not just what you get. Glad you use Ubuntu, and erased OSX.

Basically, the moment you call the shutdown(2) syscall, zope stops talking to you. An easy patch may be to change varnish not to half-close the connection. I even wrote a C-program to illustrate the problem and posted this issue to zope-dev because I was convinced the issue isn't known yet.

His reaction is completely natural and understandable, and I'm sure I'd have reacted exactly the same way. Of course that means he might say things that are slightly harsher than really fair, but that's life, and people say things about him that is unfair to.

But, oh well, things will clean up probably. I know it’s not about winning, but yet, PJE’s reaction doesn’t seem to reflect this fact… But, oh well, things will clean up probably.

Nobody is going to win anything. It's not about winning. Distribute is mainly about solving a problem, and that problem is that setuptools is not maintained as well as it needs to be. That's it.

It doesn't change anything. PJE doesn't have the time to maintain setuptools by himself, and he refuses to accept help or relinquish control. That's why Distribute exists. It will continue to exist until he accepts help or relinquishes control. And it wasn't out of the blue. The problem isn't that PJE doesn't fix bugs, it's that he only does it once a year or so. And he said he was going to spend the weekend fixing bugs already at the beginning of last week. Well, what about it? It doesn’t change anything.

That discussion on distutils-sig seems pretty harsh... I've been using setuptools for some time, now I'm beginning to develop my trust in distribute, then suddenly a new setuptools appears. Interesting... And what about the out-of-the-blue setuptools 0.6c10 pje has just released?
