Your Opinion on GNOME 3? |

I just reinstalled both Windows and Linux on my PC, and am now running Fedora and Gnome 3. I have to say, it is very different from what I am used to, but I like it as well, for the most part. It doesn't have the most practical way of switching between applications, and I suppose that's my main disappointment, but I'll probably be getting used to it over time, and it's honestly a lot better than Unity.
What is your opinion of gnome 3?

Fast food, sit down, whatever, post the one you like here!
I like Mackenzie River Pizza Company. It's a pizza place that just opened up here but they're really good. My favorite thing there is the Mack Lovin, a dessert item which is a cookie baked into a small cast iron pan, with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce over it all.

These guys are awesome.
Dacentec is a datacenter, based in the small town of Lenoir, North Carolina, USA (which Google also happens to have a datacenter in). What's so awesome about them is they sell dedicated servers with really good specs, at a low price, that you own after 12 months of payment. I'm looking into getting one myself, but they have pretty random stock everyday. From what I understand, it's just what they have shipped to them that day.
The only dis-advantage is the rather cheap-o peering (Cogent, Hurricane Electric, and TiNet), so ping may be a bit higher for some. Plus, once you own it, you must pay for co-location or the shipping to have them send you the server, they don't cover the shipping.

QUICK EDIT: They've been having site issues recently so don't mind if it looks ugly.

Hi, I usually go by Suzaku but am unable to recover my password as I do not know the e-mail and the only other place I can get a hold of DarthApple at seems inactive.

A forum with an odd twist as an experiment? |

Undoubtedly, social networking has become much more popular in recent times. The popularity of traditional forums seems to slowly be decreasing as a result, and I think that the market for something "new" is growing stronger.
Software options such as Xenforo have been new and innovative, but options such as discourse or oxwall seem to be redefining what forum software is. I will say, I'm not personally a fan of discourse, but I do like the innovation that's going on. Forum software today is just too complicated, and all of the extra features get in the way of pure discussion.
I was thinking about either downloading a very simple forum software solution and modifying it, or building a custom forum software solution to have only the absolute bare essentials. I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if everything about the a forum was centered around discussion, and only discussion. I'd also like to try it as an experiment as far as community management when decisions are all brought to a public petition.
Obviously, this is only an idea, but I would definitely be interested in seeing what could be done if a complete rethinking of forum software were to take place. What do you think would make such an experiment successful? In what ways could forum software today be improved for a modern world?
