Pretty much anytime a robot tries to do something a human can do we're faced with these type of comments. Ever since the first computer started to play chess (even twenty years ago they weren't much match for an average player, but look at them now)...
I really, really disagree with you here. Computers have gotten significantly better but they are not even close to being able to have the positional understanding that humans do. They run millions of calculations a second but the best players in the world have not yet been completely overshadowed by them because of the positional (non-understandable by computers...yet) aspect of the game.
I said Edit servers, not add them. Also, if I try to drag the Home folder to the Desktop it gives an error (something about a folder can't be inside itself).
Right now the biggest fault with Ubuntu is Gnome. I've been using Ubuntu since the day Gutsy was released (previously a Gentoo user) and I love so many aspects of it. I even like the simplicity of Gnome compared to KDE. But, why does Gnome lack so many customization options. I mean, seriously, with so many developers it cannot be very difficult to create some small programs that modify GConf. That should be Gnome's priority and because Ubuntu relies so heavily on Gnome it needs to be one of Ubuntu's priorities to get the ball rolling. I want to add different folders to my Places bar at the top of the screen, I want to add different buttons (like the Home folder, seriously, it was difficult) to the desktop. I want to be able to edit my Network servers in the Places bar. I've figured out how to do all of this with gconf but there is absolutely no reason for me to not to be able to go into my System tab and figure out how to do this with a nice, pretty graphical program. This post may be a little off topic and I know that Ubuntu comes in different flavors (Kubuntu, Xubuntu) but when the majority of users are going to be using Gnome with Ubuntu, then Gnome needs to improve to the point where it does not detract from the Ubuntu experience.
My school blocks Wikipedia entirely. When asked why the answer is "anybody can edit it". I don't think they understand the fact that nobody is going to cite Wikipedia as a reference for a paper, but Wikipedia does offer great sources that can be used to further explore a subject. I would suggest teaching students how to find legitimate sources instead of using the brute-force method of blocking everything they don't understand.
Everybody knows that computer-simulation chemistry sets are so much more fun. And honestly it's sad that's where we are heading. Today's generation will never know the thrill of mixing two chemicals together without any idea of what will happen.
As much as I want to disagree with what you said I can't bring myself to do it. The only "real" experiment I've done in my Chemistry class this year involved baking soda and water. I envy the older generations who actually were able to conduct real experiments and learn something useful.
The newest Ubuntu has a windows-like Safe mode so it always goes into X with a configuration option to change res, etc. My video card that is NEVER supported came with out of the box support on Ubuntu, it was a pleasant surprise.
I know this is ATI's problem but the Radeon 9200 has no support (even with the FGLRX driver). Also, I tried to get my extremely old Microsoft Sidewinder 3d Pro joystick working so I could play my extremely old Descent game for the first time in ten years and it had no support at all. That might be the sound card's fault though.
Google has shown that they are willing to do what they have to do to get users to put as much of their lives on Google as possible. People are talking about how everybody left Myspace six months ago and will leave Facebook in six months too, it seems pretty likely that Google could be the new "Facebook" if they really wanted to.

What about more controversial seeds, like Marijuana?

They already have one of those, it's called "Ur Anus 7". And damn, it sure is more entertaining than those other HD photos.
Damn! StupidFilter's at it again.
They do! Their chief executive just spent a whole month "researching" new yachts. And believe me, it's going to be fast!
Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the cave.
My professor just made us watch Dinosaur . I thought that was a non-fiction movie?

"Are those solar panels real??!! They're huge!"
"No way man, that's got to be silicon. There's no way it's natural."

What a stupid fucking article.

Have you tried a current version of Linux?

Translating it to Latin might help...even if you don't read Latin.
Isn't Australia where they put people that import software as a punishment?
And yet they're quitting development?
DOES NOT COMPUTE!
Yeah, Jim Bakker said the same thing.
idk my bff jill?
I just installed Photoshop CS2 using Wine on my new Ubuntu box. And surprisingly, it works great. Should I still check out Gimp?
