Really: Expensive devices are bought by the State and given to children for free.
So in Soviet America, government-sponsored healthcare is communism, while government-sponsored Ipads are a great idea. Because who needs health when we have shiny gadgets?
Basically you can pay a $500/yr(?) subscription for an enterprise license, which gives you extra control over devices you own*.
This sentence by itself should make any reasonable human cringe. Paying extra for control over things you own? Also, is this $500/yr per device or per school? I can't find it on their page, sorry.
No. To what's currently mainstream, SciFi is, like a large majority of good literature, too long, too complicated, and boring.
What is "mainstream" (as in, what I see on display in book stores) are "Become an Einstein in one week while losing 50 pounds and making tons of money", some cooking, and books about orgasms.
But when I clicked the link to Project Tuva, I was redirected in this order:
- Sorry, Silverlight for your browser is not supported, to see the list of supported browser click <link>. I clicked.
- Get Microsoft Silverlight - Click to install. I clicked.
- Moonlight for Linux, a free plug-in.
I realized that Miguel is an idiot a long time, but I didn't know Moonlight is officially supported by MS. And I still don't know why.
On the other hand, for all the warnings about the dominance of MS and Windows and the dangers of monoculture, you can pop over here where many of those same people are arguing FOR monoculture and against individual choice.
Just sayin'.
There is a small difference: Nobody has a monopoly, copyright, patent or trademark over the metric or imperial measurement system.
Slashdot Mirror
Because nothing says "awesome" like being named "Kingdom". Until somebody trades you for a horse.
I don't know what the solution was, but my best guess is "moving it all to the White House".
You can swap the battery pack in a minute
There was quite some talk about cars with swappable batteries, where did all that go anyway?
The question:
Please explain how I am getting more benefit now than I was before.
The answer:
by a mere tripling of my income
Uphill, both ways?
How can you be sure that what's going on on the processor is the same thing as what's described in the documentation?
I run it on my laptop with Intel graphics, and it's quite responsive even with all sorts of 3D-stuff (like desktop cube) enabled.
My problem with KDE is not speed, but startup time, it seems to take forever from when the splash screen disappears to a usable desktop.
How much is that in Kessel Runs per parsec?
Joke or Fail?
There's more of you?
You're constipated?
That's been a fact ever since Einstein declared that the universal speed limit was C.
Then we should try C++.
52% of respondents were self-described PC (Windows) people, 25% were Mac users and 23% were neither
So Linux has a 23% marker share? Is it that year already?
Mod parent up, too many people still don't understand this.
Or maybe you should get better friends.

Not here, I've never even heard of anything PETA did except here on Slashdot, but I saw Greenpeace locking onto a steam converter for a nuclear plant.
Now we're starting to quote Harry Potter? Really?

Right. Because Ubuntu is the only Linux. I suppose you never heard the joke about Debian releases and solar eclipses?
They used to have a service that did just that. It's closed now, but it was operational for a long time.
