Annoying Software

Tuesday, June 03rd, 2008 | Author: Timur Asaliev

After reading Leonid’s blog entry on annoying software I decided to put down my own list. So here it goes

  • Kwrite
    Lack of tabs
  • Gedit
    Lack of ability to shrink a block of code into a one liner. Kwrite has this feature.
  • Firefox 2.x
    What bothers me most about Firefox 2.x is that box with “Remember your password” popup box. I’m glad they changed it in Firefox 3
  • Firefox 3.x
    This could be only me, but the new URL drop down box looks quite messy and It can take me ages to find the URL I need. The drop down menu seems to put emphasis on the title of the page, rather than the URL itself. I’m just so not used to this.
  • Intel Graphics Linux Drivers
    For just being worse than the Windows ones. (Not really a tool, but I just had to mention it)
  • Pidgin ICQ support
    I don’t use ICQ now a lot, but every now and then I have to login and chat to my dad. I’ve got a huge contact list and don’t want everyone to see me online. I do know that there is an “Invisible” option, but that’s just not enough for me. I really enjoy using QIP for Windows because it has a very good manager for your online statuses (like my favourite “Show as offline for all”)
  • Roundcube
    Roundcube is a web-based e-mail client. I like it for it’s simplicity and looks, but it’s Javascript doesn’t work very well. As one of the things that really annoyes me is when you type a huge letter, hit Send and get a popup message saying “Are you sure you want to send an empty email?“. Not amuzing.
    Update: I’m not using the most recent version as it turned out. Will check it out and hope that this bug is not there.

This seems to be it as I cannot come up with anything else.
