It's my experience that these systems collect all the info a human operator would need, but when it eventually connects you to a human operator, they have no clue who you are and have to gather that information all over again. Why not just save time and money by playing hold music and have the customer give their information to a real human once?
GNOME 3 is a cluster fuck! Now we have arbitrarily added search bars in each of the Nautilus windows? How is that any different than clicking in the window and just typing the name of the file you want, until it is highlighted? At least the old way didn't make us suffer the loss of screen real estate.
Want to know why Free and Open Source software gets such a bad rap? It's shit like this!
Next time you wonder why the Year of the Linux Desktop is going to be a long ways off, if ever, remember all of these petty disputes. What about all the bickering whether we should call it Linux or GNU/Linux/X11/Gnome/Mahjong? So much time is wasted over trivial things like this. Both sides should be happy they are in the Open Source movement and focus only on that.
How can you hate Neil Gaiman? I love him even more now that he wrote what has become one of my top 5 favorite Doctor Who episodes of all time. I say we burn her at the stake!
Now for my bitchy side -- we should correct her horrible grammar and awkward phrasing, and send the corrected post back to her.
"Can our e-book be lended?" The correct past-tense form of lend is lent, not lended.
She even knows she's in the wrong: "It was all a fishing expedition using underhanded tactics."
One benefit I can think of is the price. Personally, I couldn't live without multiple workspaces. If I am chatting with a lot of friends, I have multiple windows open and it's nice to be able to switch over to a "clean" desktop if I need to edit a photo or something. I've found too that Linux runs much faster on the same machine running Windows and you don't have to do the yearly wipe / re-install to clean up all of the phantom crap that accumulates and slows down the computer.
If Linux (and BSD derivatives in the case of Mac) fails tomorrow, which I doubt that it will, at least it educated the other two OSes the dangers of running all programs as the super user.
Mint supports Nvidia. I'm using a GeForce GTX 460 with the 295.49 driver. They have done much better keeping up with the latest driver versions than Ubuntu proper .
Is it more important that we learn the book definitions for everything, or is it more important to do the actual problems? Some of us can't afford to go to school and Kahn is a welcome resource. Because of Kahn, after struggling with probability and statistics on my own, I'm able to calculate total probability given one or more conditions. The few calc videos I've watched have help there as well. Personally, I don't think Kahn is boring -- he's more interesting than my geometry teacher in high school who would give a lecture in front of an overhead projector.
I would roll my eyes at that and think that the person who put it in is acting like a 6 year old child. It also might make me question the accuracy of their code.
It's really sad that anyone feels excluded from kernel hacking. If more women were involved in the programming arts, maybe we would have had something much nicer and more useful than that horrible kluge, Unity. (My personal feelings are that women are better at programming than men anyways because so much of it requires concrete thinking and less of the abstract!)
Maybe we should make a concerted effort as a whole community to be more welcoming to women. If someone has an idea how to make Linux faster, more stable and more secure, they should be lauded for their efforts, not derided!
The same problem is rampant in the gaming world. Many years ago, I used to work with a mother of two who loved Half Life and would systematically kick the asses of every other guy in the department. XD Maybe guys in the programming world are worried more women would have a bigger e-peen than them...
We don't want to type up long documents on something with the screen real estate of a smartphone. As long as there are triple AAA game titles and porn, there will always be a place for the PC in the home -- at least until they come up with the holodeck!
We should try to tackle some of these patents by scouring the internet searching for any prior art to invalidate them. Companies no longer invent things anymore -- they just make money by trolling everyone else...
I'm to the point, I want a setting where my wall is visible to no one but myself. It's not like I can post anything I want anymore since my grandmother discovered the internet machine...
A better way to have handled this would be to send an email to everyone on the site and remind, or in some cases inform, them they have a @facebook.com email address that they can use and display on the site, with a way to display this if they so wish.
Facebook has shown, however, that they have no respect for basic privacy. There are many people that should never have a way to contact us. I wonder how long this will last now that sexual predators will have a way to contact children using this email address without even having to show up on their friends list first.

Oh, don't forget that library books don't have to be charged as often as a tablet or e-reader.

I thought EyeOS already did this in 2005
Not if we're still bickering over what color to make the background in 2018...

Google already has enough of my information from searches and email. The last thing I want them to have is full access to my entire digital life.

Troll or not, this was completely uncalled for!

"...they will probably be on the throne for a very long time..."
I hope they bring enough magazines with them!

OMG! PONIES!
I know it's risky to not have health insurance, but in my own case, it's now down to the level of insurance or food. Food wins out...
How about parents become engaged in their children's lives and be more aware of what websites their children visit? Simple! Problem solved!

Imagine how quickly those cameras will be shut off when they get enough views of the average American in their underwear on the couch!
