Well to be honest, I just think the Russians ran out of money as this aircraft project would have never moved along without the Indian $. Judging from the points in this article, they had to cut corners, older engines, half assed "stealth" profile. Not surprising, as Sukhoi has built some fantastic planes, SU-35, SU-37, SU-47, but they only built a few as demonstrators for air shows (eg. annual Paris Airshow), not having the dollars to put them into active service. They built and marketed the SU-30 to a variety of nations (Sukhoi 30 MKI to India as an example)but the Indians reportedly found them to be inferior based on proposed adversaries, and are planning (as reported) to buy some French Rafales as their front line military interceptor.
you sounded great, A Canadian space rock and roller.Hey, if you ever wanted to try your hand at karaoke.. we are at the Wally, Donlands and OConnor in Toronto.
Hmmn I was under the impression that Neuromancer was coming out in 2013 ? The director is the same guy who directed Splice. I was looking forward to that...:P
Well I run Gnome 3 on my Fedora 17 box and Cinnamon 1.4 on my Mint 13 box. Both desktops are new and there are a few rough edges, but I enjoy using both. Remember, we are Linux guys (and gals), we are supposed to work around the edges, tweak stuff, and stuff, goes with the territory..:P
Well I did try Unity from day 1 and it never really worked for me. Maybe it was my computer or whatever so I switched to Linuxmint 11 and now running Mint 12 with the Cinnamon 1.4 desktop. Mint 12 with Cinnamon rules for me at least. Even with all the negativity about Unity, you would think Mr Shuttleworth would drop it ?? Oh no, there starts the fall of a great distro... My two bits!!
Wow talk about reminiscing. I used Compuserve and migrated to IRC all on an old box running Win95. I picked up Linux in 98 Slackware 3.5, only to discover that I had a winmodem which didn't work too well. Had to write a script invoking isapnptools and a winmodem driver which I had to purchase for $5. Those were the days. Feel that I am getting soft now, dsl, Linuxmint 12, etc. Everything is so damn easy.
Well said. In my experience as a IT manager, I found most of the users to be clueless and not really interested in the processes on the network that they worked on. I got tired of being saddled with by people who seemed to want to bitch and whine, rather than doing their jobs with the tools provided,.
I spoke too quickly. I can't seem to keep my Gnome 3 settings (fonts, themes, etc) after a re-boot on my Mint 12 box. Posted this on Linuxquestions.org a few days ago with no responses so far.
I had that same experience with my bank over the last five years. some charges on the card did not fit the pattern so I was contacted told to cut up the card and I got a new one the next day. Nice to know that some banks have processes which actually work and staff who are still awake.
Same here. I loaded Mint 12 with Gnome 3 today. The option to use the Gnome 2 seemed like a waste of time. I like Gnome 3, use it on a Fedora 16 laptop. On Mint, everything worked right out of the box, including samba. Good stuff
Well as a longtime Ubuntu user (been there since ver 8.04 I think), I was looking forward to 11.04. I loaded it up and Unity bitched that my computer had insufficient resources (P4 cpu, 3.2 gigs ram, Nvidia graphics card) so I had to revert to the Gnome 2 desktop. However this disallowed my moving my app icons around my screen, desktop effects were a nightmare to setup so I went to Linuxmint (which I have used before) and everything worked fine. Wonder why people are walking away from Ubuntu ?

I have been using Fedora (19, 20 and now 21) on a third hand cheapo HP laptop. Never had any problems.
I have an android smartphone. Why would I need a smartwatch ?
Good thing I don't bank with BMO ..:P
Wonder if we are looking at a "Malaysia Triangle" incident here ?
Food for thought !

1984 and/ or Soylent Green. The movie was so depressing. Would never bother to read the book. Was there an actual novel ?

Not if it was paid in after tax dollars by the CEO.
Hmmn
Under important info: Boot hangs on systems with b43 wireless cards.
Guess it won't be going on my laptop anytime soon..

Hasn't competition in the Linux community always been the case, between the various distros ?
