Windows updates are also exempt from your cap on Comcast, and so is Facebook traffic IIRC. Comcast doesn't practice net neutrality, this has been known for some time. Choose another ISP, if you can.
It isn't bad in computing, those who complain about "fragmentation" are implicitly promoting the One True Way, and therefore, promote curated (walled-garden) computing, whether they realize it or not.
Gnome is like a nirvana of choice compared even to Windows, don't paint them with the same brush as the Appletards because they like the keep things simpler than the KDE crowd.
Yeah I'm leaning towards running Cinammon over MATE as my new DE when I upgrade my laptop to 12.04, it seems to have more new features including the super-useful Win7-ish searchable menu.
It's true most are easily scratched, I didn't think of it because I always bought a screen protector film with the device which works great for scratchproofing and doesn't make the screen any harder to use. I get the thick, washable matte-finished ones like JAVOscreen.
It's a bad thing but this isn't in the same league as censorship (government and their pro-IP megacorp masters) or creating walled gardens (Facebook, Apple, and I'm not so sure about Android OS either).
I think Gore's influence alone has done at least as much bad as all the PR machines combined. Without the "devil's endorsement" conservatives might have applied their abundant skepticism to the denialist PR machines as well.
There you have it folks, right out of the horse's mouth, it's more like this:
Bob: How long will it take us to hit the ground if we don't open our chutes? George: 2 minutes. Bob: Your math is off. 3 minutes. John: I'm pretty sure we're actually in a vertical wind tunnel with a hologram projector guys, don't sweat it. George: You're fucking nuts John. Bob: John, WTF!?!? John: Such small minds. You guys all slept last night, right? That's when the aliens abducted us and put us into this little experiment. Spread out and try to find the walls of this chamber. If you pull your chutes you'll be seen as inferior specimens and incinerated. I'M ONTO YOU ALIENS!
If denialists can get on board with a "fusion manhattan project" I say go for it. It's risky but it's better than burying our stupid heads in the sand and doing nothing. If fusion is achieved it will take a massive chunk out of human carbon emissions and then we can use all the extra cheap energy available to power carbon sequestration facilities.
That's just hitting the reset button on the argument and everything would end up the exact same way it has right now. The only thing that might make a difference in a do-over is tying Al Gore to a chair in a locked room. Without a conservatives' bogeyman spouting about the dangers of global warming while acting like it's not a real thing, and selling bits of paper that claim to fix the problem, global warming would have been taken a lot more seriously.
Still it's odd that she didn't believe in dinosaurs. Couldn't she believe that GAWD created dinosaurs (including evolutionary relatives from different times coexisting - so you'd have Cambrian creatures sharing the ocean with plesiosaurs etc.) during the I Dream of Jeannie creation sequence as seen on Family Guy, and then they went extinct somehow?

Really? There are a few frameworks that work across pretty much all desktops...
Maybe bootnet or 4x4net?

One man's "more choice" is an anti-choice idiot's "fragmentation".
FTFY.

On Firefox, disable HTML5/DOM storage, install CookieMonster 1.5 and BetterPrivacy.
Yeah basically that. The rich can hire the expertise and change the rules to stay out of court in the first place.
Exactly, the concept of a republic is like well-meaning DRM, and once it's cracked you're left with a plain old oligarchy...
In what kind of dream world do these pushlishing groups live in?
Academia. They charge that much because the universities have the money because they charge a lot because student loans have the money.
Lack of multi-touch displays would really have limited to very basic gestures, it would probably just be click interface.
OH GOD NO what would we do without multi-touch gestures! A fucking one-click interface like every other computing device on the planet!? THE HORROR!
I don't get why people think capacitive touch is better. Here are the ways in which it is different from resistive:
Pros:
- Allows multi-touch gestures
Cons:
- Less accurate
- Requires a human finger or object of similar resistance, rather than just any object
Now does that seem better overall? Even the phone I have now has resistive touch, that's one of the reasons I bought it.

Why would you put a filter on a CFL to get that dingy yellow glow?

For instance, banning the light bulb - just how stupid is that?
Those ungodly-inefficient things that produce a shit-ton of heat and a little light as a side-effect? Not too stupid.

Linux's /dev/random is about as good as you can get without specialized hardware:

You think too small. Leave toy robots and lite-brites with Mooninite artwork on them around the city.
I was like "a particle? Jeez they're desperate."
