Jamie Zawinski Switches to Mac OS X 1074
iskander writes "After a disappointing experience with sound, Jamie Zawinski has finally given up on desktop Linux and switched to Mac OS X. The future of apps like xscreensaver and Gronk is now ``highly ambiguous''. He has already ditched a free/open platform before, but he seems a lot angrier this time. Indeed, twisted by the Dark Side of the Source, young Zawinski has become."

1. Short timeout for writing passwords, what may make it difficult for some people to unlock the screen at all.
2. Stupid, delaying messages after entering the wrong password, as if the security delay by the authorization system was not enough.
3. Ugly, ugly, *ugly* logo.
4. Small, non-antialiased fonts in the password dialog, as if the screen space was so scarce when all other windows are hidden anyway.

An XEmacs contributor switches to a more useful system. I love the irony.

The hell with all of you. I just installed DOS on my box and all is well.
Slashdot, please don't post this. You guys are jerks and I'm going to tell my mommy about you.

If you think the current logo is ugly, please don't look at the old logo. That was scaring old ladies.
(Really. I was working in one place where my work computer was previously being used by visitors. I locked my display when I went off for a bit and when I came back I heard some grandmommies had been getting scared by the logo or something)
I was pleased when the logo was replaced. Actually, I kind of like the current logo. In a weird way. Simple yet interesting. =)

They'll nod solemnly, and in reverent tones, tell with precise detail where they were when they learned that Jamie Zawinski had switched to OS X.

But it does qualify him for demi-god status. When you get to hang with the gods, and have a small cult following of strangely deticated people.... Maybe a shrine or two...
