Years before the diagnosis of autism. Autism isn't usually diagnosed for kids under two, and most get diagnosed around 4 or 5. There have been few cases I know of where the child demonstrably did not have autism earlier in life.
Who says there's nothing you can do about it? Have you tried a different video card? I was able to significantly speed up flash and UI on an old box by using the proprietary nVidia driver.
Ubuntu defaulted to the open source nv driver because the card couldn't support Compiz, but there was still a significant performance gain to be had by using the binary blob.
Apple doesn't make money selling OSX, they make money selling hardware. Microsoft has a monopoly on PC operating systems, but not hardware, so Apple can compete there. Apple was also a name brand before Microsoft was, so they don't have that barrier to cross either.
To say that Canonical, a newcomer, should be able to make an easy profit selling software for the same PCs that Microsoft has a monopoly on is ridiculous. To use Apple as support for that suggestion is not well thought out.
Better to get a signing certificate, so you can create and sign your own subdomain certificates. Those are expensive, but Capital One should be able to afford one.
Better yet, screw VeriSign, they should self-sign and give the user a print out of the certificate fingerprint when they open an account, and have the website walk them through downloading, verifying, and installing their certificate when they register for online banking.
Just about every filesystem has the same problem as ext4. The difference (as I understand it) isn't that ext4 loses data on a system crash, it's that it writes the metadata before it write the actual data, and so it might not lose the metadata. On ext3, you wouldn't even have the metadata if your system crashed before it wrote to disk, so instead of empty files you'd have no files. I gather that in the case of KDE, no files would have been better than empty ones.
AMD does much more than CPUs, especially after having acquired ATI. The would be much smaller without their CPU line, but there is still enough to run a business on.
So that's three major orbital manoeuvres, per fragment.
You make it too complicated. You don't have to pick up the fragment, move yourself, then drop the fragment. You just have to exchange velocity with the fragment during a very brief interaction, flinging you every-so-slightly outside your orbit,and flinging it every-so-slightly inside it's orbit. Gravity takes care of the rest.
much of the debris up there right now is on the order of paint flecks, which are damn hard to pick up (or even find).
Again, too complicated. What you need is something large, light weight, and sticky. A simple cylinder filled with an aero-gel just needs to fly through the debris cloud, letting the pieces impact the gel and get stuck there. The added mass, plus decreased speed, would automatically deorbit the collector.
An application is something you run, a package is a collection of stuff. An application is a special kind of package that contains software a user is going to call and interact with directly.
The update manager is separate because what the user is directly interacting with is the process of updating, not packages themselves.
I believe that GAIM made more sense than Pidgin since it at least retained a common Windows name inside of its own.
It did make more sense, but was legally too close to AOL's trademark, and so it was renamed as part of a settlement between AOL and the Pidgin developers.
Now I know that I really want to install pidgin but what on earth would I ever search for that would return that? It turns out that even searching on the quoted string "instant messenger" won't return pidgin because the description uses the term "messenging". Sigh.
Putting that exact search string into Add/Remove Applications returns Pidgin at the top of the list, followed by a selection of other instant messaging clients.
Now, while I think Linux is great for lots of choice, on a desktop system designed to be used by everyone, a choice is not what you want - you want 1 place to do 1 thing.
That's exactly what you get. One place to manage applications, one place to manage updates, and one place to manage packages.
The big problem for me when it comes to Linux always has been that people choose the most absurd names when writing their applications.
Perhaps then you can tell me what an Excel is, what is Express about Outlook, why I need a Flash to watch a movie, why Quicktime has nothing to do with speed or clocks, or what an Acrobat has to do with viewing documents. I can list funny names people have no problem with all day, and so can you I suspect.
Your problem isn't that the names in Linux are funny, it's that the names in Linux aren't familiar.
Also, for what it's worth, in my Menu the listings are "Pidgin Instant Messenger" and "Gimp Image Editor". They're listed the same way in Add/Remove programs.
Try getting your AAC files to play. It's easy if you know *exactly what* to type to get apt-get to install the codecs. But, even if you have the right repositories set up, you can be an old unix hand like me and still not know which packages you need to get the job done.
I haven't tested it with AAC, but I seem to recall that when I tried to play an MP3 on a clean install of Ubuntu, it told me exactly what package I needed, and even downloaded and installed it for me.
Now, the reason you need to do this is that nobody's willing to stick their necks out and vouch for the legality of doing that.
I seem to remember that being covered before Ubuntu installed the codec. I also heard that they were going to let you buy licenses to codec from within Ubuntu.
It is if you remember that the context is the device vendors who are going down in a tailspin because the principles of the GPL extend to cutting off everything they need to do business, such as access to purchase licensed technologies.
Not exactly. The GPL doesn't prevent you from purchasing licensed technology to use with GPL code, it just requires that you grant the license to anyone you distribute the code to, and let them do the same. That is a gist of the MS-Novell deal.
You've completely missed what's going on, here.
No, but maybe I worded it poorly.
It's unfortunate that you feel the need to replace the problem with something of your own device, then say it isn't a problem, then say BSD has the problem too.
I was actually referring to two different problems. The first, TomTom's problem, is what I said was "not a problem" in the GPL, but rather one of it's principles. The second, the problem of people closing off open code, is a problem to GPL developers, but not to BSD developers, who see it as just another right of open software.

Just use the command-line jar program. You don't even need an IDE.
jar -cmf $manifestFile $jarName $sourceFiles
Or has anyone seen a punch card torrent
You will if you accidentally knock over a box of them. Or is that a stack dump?
Who has more chairs: Microsoft or IBM?
IBM. In fact, they have more than 3 times more chairs (well, employees, but a good proxy for # of chairs).
Heck, they probably have a dozen patents on chairs.
Boom! di ada...
Oh, you mean like Asus did with the EeePC, and all those that followed their lead? Yeah, that should be possible.

ffmpeg is to video, what imagemagick is to images.
