*ring* - Hi, I'm Bob from Microsoft Happy Hunting Customer Care. How can I help you? - Hi, the name of the Rustock botnet master is "John Doe". Now let's talk about the 250K$... - I'm sorry Sir, but we already knew that, so no bucks for you. Have a nice day!
I think it's worthy remembering two things: 1) the European Commission (EUC) is not a decisional power. Its steatements are considered as mere advices by the Parliament, if considered at all. 2) the same Parliament is not a Sovrane Government (think of the Federal Government). But still member's legislators have ten years (IIRC) to comply or face fines.
I consider USB dongles good candidates for this replacement.
Price per unit is the only remaining hurdle. With really a few bucks you can get a one or two GB stick. Now compare that with the few cents per floppy. Yes price per GB is an easy win against a 720KB device, but if you want to fully replace floppies you need to spread its usage to the masses in huge quantities, by reducing the purchase cost gap. That way people wouldn't care about getting a ten pack of dongles at once and giving away some of them to friends like we did with the floppies.
Taking into account the longevity and the robustness of a bunch of memories vs a spinning disk is also a worthy bonus.

Can someone argue about some copyright issues? TFA states the option to acquire the rights, not that they've been granted.
That's 100% the absolute truth. I'd mod you up if i've had mod points.
Italy - from a technological and industrial perspective - has full capability of correctly building operating nuclear facilities.
Considering the amount of money involved in a single project transforms fears into certainty of mafious infiltrations, which are bad for the very reason stated above: mafia has no accountability.
I guess the fuss about Unity usability is inherited by a sort of "must be used like Windows/OSX" syndrome. In other words, interface must be controlled by mouse. Period. Well, excluding when you're actually required to type something.
I think a true geek's goal must be to interact with the system quickly and efficently, and this can not be accomplished with mouse only. Hence the myriad of shortcuts and love for CLI.
Personally I use WindowManager, the only customizations applied are a darker theme not to blind me with lightnings. Its purpose is just to manage the output of the software I run: the browser i'm typing right now and whatnot. Also, I've always a minimum of three Eterm sessions always open in the background (one logged with super user - I know, I know...). Their purpose is to act as launchers. To be noted my destop resolution is 3520x1200 on a dual monitor setup, so "screen estate war" is not an issue.
So, in the end, I think none of the issues noted in TFA would concern me should I be put in front of Unity: I'd scatter a couple of terminals around and who f cares of the other stuff. If Unity represents an usability issue for a geek, you're doing it wrong.
The question is: how many users use their stuff like this? That was rethoric: I know they're too few. And I understand this is the reason why the debate exists in the first place.
Back to TFA and having a look at the benchmarks, you can see computational ones are (somewhat unsurprisngly) tied, but the difference in the file copy is almost always worse for Natty. Not by that big margin, to be honest, but I'd say noticeable. My pure guess is it's related to a higher memory footprint. I refuse to believe "something" in the layers of the graphical interface have the ability to slow down file copyng.
Adding a revision number every couple of months is still not enough.
Wait until some clever software architect discover he can represent numbers as powers of two: this could be a Firefox 32 discussion! And by summer we may discuss about Firefox 64! Using binary notation is noteworthy too.
I was paying $80 a month for wireless service (AT&T) in the center of a decent sized city and not at work, not at home, nor anywhere except right next to a tower was I able to get more than 2 bars, and don't get me started on dropped calls, LOL, even at 5 bars.

And yet we're talking about graphic performance and beautiness, and not about gameplay.
Same old, same old.
Not to nitpick, but what you're talking about is called "steganography".
Stenography is entirely a different thing.
As per usual policy, I think I'm waiting at least for release 3.0 before upgrading.

This is just the first step of a more broad action plan.
Soon also the version number of the distribution license will be bumped.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all the noon to sign some autographs.
That wasn't a joke
Hah! Because asking on a website about own erectile dysfunction instead of stopping by the doctor is so damned smart!

In case you haven't ever noticed, there is no left wing in the US. There are two rights.
In Soviet Russia, vodka warms you!
Snippet from a boot sequence:
CPU: Memory, are you dense?
Mem: Yes, I am.

I linked the directory ~/.adobe to /dev/null and the writing permissions are there.
Obviously nothing gets really written.
You were holding it wrong.
As per subject. It threats that like an URL to be opened.
To be honest, it's not mentioned in the help either.
Hey! That fits on a Tweet too!
Thanks dude.
Send in a spacecraft packed with lawyers threatening to sue if that doesn't change its course.
Double win!
