Or if I switch to the non-gui side and try to switch back to gui it locks up too :(. But I must say i've been happy with that last few releases because they finally support and work well with my laptops wifi.

I don't believe it's actually an issue with Ubuntu, but rather with my knowledge of the system. The other is it tends to crash if I run it for a week straight (I believe it has something to do with a memory leak or possibly with ext4). I should report the issue sometime... Ah well :P The only other issue I've had is with multiple monitors and compiz. Nothing extremely critical though (other than the wireless, but I'll find a workaround).

]]> Comment on CSS3 – Still Missing Functionality… on Purpose! by Brandon Frohs http://www.brandonfrohs.com/2010/01/css3-still-missing-functionality-on-purpose/comment-page-1/#comment-1446 Brandon Frohs Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:00:39 +0000 http://www.brandonfrohs.com/?p=278#comment-1446 Aye, that is what I'm planning on doing (haven't tested it yet, but assuming it will work). I'm making extensive use of linear-gradient on a client's website as a matter of fact. Two images (which could, in reality, be one) for the entire thing, yet it looks as if 90% of the layout is in images. It's amazing how much time (and bandwidth) CSS3 saves.

Sadly, though, I don't see this being implemented for at least five years. At least block level content is allowed inside of anchors now... if only a similar solution was available for list items. I guess only time will tell. You’re absolutely right, it would be extremely useful. Sadly, though, I don’t see this being implemented for at least five years.

Getting used to using this is a plus anyway - you can do some cool things by shading with a gradient on top of an image. It's slightly more verbose than just using a color, but shrug.

It keeps being rejected for very reasonable performance reasons (it completely breaks the optimizations browsers have in place for matching selectors to content as the page loads), but eventually it'll show up because it's just too damned useful.
