I don't know about what other peoples motivations may be, but I'd name a project something silly just to fuck with people who think marketing is cool. The name doesn't matter for the merits of the project and truth, not made up manipulative shit, is what should make the world go round. Fuck marketing.
But it's not just "the same old crap with a different color". Even if we'd agree that whatever ubuntu develops itself is not much every half year, all the upstream packages will have newer versions.
It is a clue relating to an old worldwide mystery. "salat" means "the secrets" in Finnish. I can't tell you anything more than that right now. Just trust me, you will find the coming couple of days strangely erotic...
"Do you have any facts or figures underpinning your statements ?"
That would indeed be interesting, but GP makes a reasonable assumption, akin to "There were more horse carriages out and about before the automobile." No?
That is 9.10 specific. The same general method (using the backports repository) for lucid might be a solution in some time. Right now I think the lucid backports repo is still empty.
In backports, they put updated versions of stuff for people that want them (not bug or security fixes, which go in the normal repos and are supposed for everyone).
I was wondering about the appropriateness of the "undecided" and "unassigned" statuses of this bug, but if it only affects some people with the RaLink RT2860 chip, then that is more understandable.
"Lucid on Asus EEE PC 901 and 1000H fails to connect to any wireless network". Those (pretty common, I think) netbooks have the RaLink RT2860 wireless chipset.
The best solution for the digital age would be to make sure that people with a passion for arts could pursue their passion: Socialism.
Everyone should be given basic income, so that anyone caring more about expressing themselves creatively than about making more money by taking a boring job, could do so.
No, we shouldn't love things. But could you love an idea? I love the idea of sharing and cooperation. It manifests itself in software that runs in my computers. I don't love these particular pieces of metal and plastic.
But sliced bread is *less* versatile than unsliced bread. And slicing bread can be a little, meditational moment every day.
Sliced bread is not only over hyped, it is the work of the devil! The devil doesn't want you to stop and think even for a second. The devil wants you to just keep running along in the rat race./humor/truth
Played for a while, until I clicked "Get diamonds" and was taken to a page to enter credit card details. With diamonds I could get a magical bronze hammer or something, which in turn would magically give me extra food, wood and stone.
So, if you're rich and like a game where real world money gives power, knock yourself out.
As far as I'm concerned AE can stick this game right up their butt.
My understanding of the American dream was too narrow. I thought the American dream was the dream of becoming rich coupled with the implication that America is the place where this is especially easy.
You're right about it not being clever. Clever would imply an intelligent designer, so to speak, while the American dream and other ideas are just that, ideas, or memes, if you will, wielded and propagated by anyone who sees fit.
Pleasantly surprised by the last part of the summary:
"But police and school officials decided no harm, no foul. The boy did not intend to do any serious damage, and didn't, so the police withdrew and are allowing the school district to handle the half-grown hacker."
Didn't see that one coming. I thought I was in for a story of stupid teachers overreacting and a poor kid dealt with harshly.
Post crime punishment is almost never the best option. Punishment mostly works to quench the thirst for revenge among the rest of society. Punishment only works as a deterrent for white collar crime, not crimes of passion and desperation.
I'm not saying we should let drug crazed maniac serial killers (for example) roam free. We should make sure they can't hurt people, but punishing them is just barbaric.
You know, the American Dream is a lie. It's clever propaganda that is deeply ingrained in your life. Because of the American Dream, droves of poor people blame themselves for not making it, since, you know, anything is possible if you just work hard, according to the American lie. Suckers.
I'm not saying I like it, but I'll respect Thailand's right to govern itself. If the people don't like it, revolt/leave/commit suicide. A leader without followers is just a person.
So your saying you respect the juntas right to govern the majority? ps. They *are* revolting. That's why the military coupers are cracking down on the internet.

But that was all ready taken by OpenBSD (or given to them by Torvalds, to be more precise):

Good point. A similarly unintuitive fact is that there are more slaves today than ever before in history.

Pretend you're explaining this to an average person and then do that.
Extra question: Will this affect battery life?
...alternatively, that they are happy learning stuff for its own sake and not expecting to get high paying jobs related to their studies.

Yeah. The 901 is a spare computer at the moment, so In my infinite laziness, I'm going to wait a while and see what the best solution is.
Interesting. Then maybe it is some more specific device ID that is affected?
Maybe you could comment on the bug report.
I have a pet regression in lucid: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/545443

Now I'm curious.
What passes for "extreme leftist tendencies" in the USA?

And then geek chic would adapt.

Yes, exercise regularly and try to be happy. Prolonged depression will lead to permanent damage to the brain. Depressing, huh?

Thanks for enlightening me.

And my karma is still excellent, so no biggie.
