Bla bla bla who wants to hear more "experts" and their leftist "science." This article casts some doubt on small parts of global warming theory. It's a leftist conspiracy. Done deal.
Actually I don't live in the first world. I could be worse off, but that's always true. For every person but one, there is someone to point to and say "he is worse off." I just don't use that fact to excuse all exploitation.
Yes before there were holocaust deniers, we had another word for denial. Linguists are still searching for the lost ancestor of denial, so that finally a person may be a denier of anything without being associated with nazis. People born before WW2 have all mysteriously lost their memory of the word and it has never appeared in print, so there is little hope.
I'm not talking about Synaptic, I'm talking about the old applications manager. You used to access it by going to Applications -> Add/Remove Applications. The package name was gnome-app-install.
The 99th percentile might control a large portion of it, but if there's still enough to go around the problem is mostly in your imagination.
Now it's hit the floor. Most people (even in the 1st world) are living paycheck to paycheck, and those in the US are in a constant game of financial Russian roulette thanks to their health care system. Call me a selfish hedon but "not literally living like a hobo" (aka "comfortable and well fed") isn't good enough to make me not see a problem with a tiny number of people hoarding most of mankind's wealth and productivity to themselves.
There were little hints that they were losing focus before that - replacing the old app manager GUI with the new Software Center garbage that only let you perform one operation at a time is one that stands out - but that was the first big thing they did horribly wrong and it's all been downhill from there.
Similar to libertarians, I think they all imagine that if not for the awful government holding them back they'd each become billionaires and live like dystopian sci-fi villains (minus the end where they are defeated).
Can't blame you, Ubuntu just can't stop jumping sharks...if only they could have stuck to being a normal fucking desktop distro, not only would Ubuntu be much more popular, but desktop Linux would be as well. When they moved the window control buttons to the left they had already gone off the deep end.
It's possible (I assume you meant "flash drive" vs "ram stick"). The "Linux on Windows" used was probably a customized Cygwin instance and it's understandable that an AV tool wouldn't have picked it up. I bet the drive's autorun ran a script that copied the Cygwin instance to your hard drive and made a startup entry for it. The Cygwin instance probably also contained scripts that checked local mail clients for mail accounts it could use.
Lucky for you it was just a spammer botnet client, it could have been much worse.
Terminal Reality also made Terminal Velocity, 4x4 Evo series, Monster Truck Madness series...actually it seems that most of their good games were vehicle-based...

The C has also been moved to the front of the name. Totally different thing.

Link is being slashdotted. Is this like those old Blackberry keyboards that had 2 letters on each key? DO NOT WANT!
It'll take a big improvement to be worth losing the familiarity of QWERTY, and if it puts multiple letters on one key then screw that.
First, your numbers are bogus. Self-reported subjective impressions from biased samples do not constitute facts about the state of the economy.
So instead of relying on numbers which could be more scientifically rigorous, we're going to go with...your hunch?
The rest of your post indicates that you are simply happy to be an exploited serf. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that.

Well I don't have to ask whether you look things up before you accuse others of lying or just fly off the handle immediately:

Can't find any numbers for Europe but I'm sure they're much better off.
Ah now I get modded up. They had to openly mock us before people took the shilling problem seriously.
Wealth distribution isn't the issue.
Wow, that made my jaw drop.

Subtle? His username is a play on his employer's name.
Haha check out the name, a play on Waggener-Edstrom
Now if only the major business software companies were this considerate...
Wealth distribution is worse now than in the first gilded age. But don't worry, everything's OK...in your imagination.
Exactly and there's nothing political about their actions either. From their point of view it's as practical as destroying an enemy weapons designer.

Still, too bad our editors couldn't have done that for us. Submissions have been rejected for a lot less than linking to a shitty source.
It'll be hot so you'll have to go at night.

I ran one over with my car once and it still works to this day. All I had to do was bend the connector back into shape.
