Yes, I have. And why do you call it an ugly hack? For what it does, it does it quite well. If that's what you need, then it's a very nice system. If you need something else, use something else.
in the end only US citizens can decide.
as a devotee for freedom and a world in peace i am very worried about those citizens' last decision concerning POTUS.
i am not a US citizen. and i never felt the need to be one - just because i was lucky to be born in a country where in my opinion there is at least hope left for a better future.
i hope more US citizens "take a stand" like the OP and show how they want their part of the world to be like.
just my two cents - euro cents (a currency used in another union of only 28 states...)
it feels really strange to me how mac people actually only talk about the visual appearance...
...considered to be not a good trait between civilised people.
Its funny how strong the ideological stance exists among programmers.
Any comment making fun of windows always get upvoted even if its just anecdotal. My experience is also anecdotal and needs to be taken just a data point. Linux users seem to not be able to stomach any constructive criticism.
I tried using linux for a long time - the problem is life got in the way. I need to provide lab reports and do mathematics.
Linux is a hassle for any non-programmer. Maybe when I get a decent laptop like DELL XPS that can run linux I will give it another try.
For now though I am having to stick to a single ultrabook for various reason and linux is not friendly to new-comers.
I dont understand why you cant make lab reports and do mathematics on Linux? Serious scientific papers are written using Latex, not Microsoft Word. And what math software doesnt run on Linux?

You'd be surprised. I know labs publishing multiple high impact papers pretty much each year and then some more less high impact papers and they all use Word. Also PowerPoint for posters. Probably not the best tools for the job, but I see that often in research.
