That may be but there's no point to another linux distro that nobody gives a shit about. There's tons of them already. Yeah, they'll garner a 100 or so people who have some kind of Gnome hard-on but nobody else will give a shit. This is just more NIH crap. The problem with linux devs is that they all think they're a bunch of effing geniuses.
The vast majority of musicians both today and in the past do not have music degrees. BB King doesn't even play cords and he's considered one of the greats. You don't need a book to tell you how to make music. However, it's completely irrelevant. The music you hear on the radio has been heavily produced to sound a certain way. Even if the artist had some really cool shit going on, that can be all thrown out the window by the label. They don't give a shit about music theory. They only care about how much money they can generate and that overrides all other decisions. Musical creativity doesn't matter at all so long as it sells.
I'd be for stricter gun laws if they're actually effective but almost everything I ever hear mentioned, would have zero impact on gun deaths in the US. If you really want to address gun violence in the US you have to reduce the wealth disparity and offer real opportunity. The culture will change in kind. But as long as there are so many people who feel trapped in living in shit for the rest of their lives with nothing to lose, you WILL have a lot of killing going on. Capping mags to 10 rounds won't do shit to stop that. Even when the large capacity magazine bans were in effect, it was trivially easy for me to obtain them. Also keep in mind that Canada may be more restrictive but they also have just as many people with guns -- they just don't go around shooting everyone with theirs. Same with Switzerland and they almost never have gun violence. Do the math.
Any good designer does it by hand. WYSIWYG tools generate shitty, bloated code. If you want to put together a static site, then fine use a WYSIWYG tool but for a dynamic site, every developer I know would laugh their ass off if you handed them prototypes generated with a tool like Dreamweaver. And you would probably be fired shortly thereafter.
I got a Nexus 7 as well. I had a little trouble extracting the box from it's sleeve. The tolerances are very tight there and could be loosened a hair and all would be well. The tape was trivial to deal with because anyone with a knife or box cutter will get through it in two seconds. All in all, it took me about a minute to get to the device, with the vast majority of that time spent dealing with the sleeve.
Apparently, current events and history aren't something you pay attention to. The so called "Arab Spring" would never have happened had it not been for people with pistols, rifles, etc. They didn't have tanks and fighter jets but they were still effective. Sure, the military could just nuke your city and call it done but then the whole deal is game over. Do not underestimate the power of small arms. There are about 1.5 million troops in the US and we are a country with vast borders. 150 million people with small arms can do an amazing amount of damage. You also have to expect a number of people in the military will either lay down arms and refuse to fight fellow countrymen or switch sides and bring their weapons with them.
One ant crawling on you is not dangerous, but a million are. You need to rethink how things really work because you're just believing what a million other defeatists have been spewing for decades. And just and FYI...I'm by no means a gun nut and I'm fully supportive of reasonable gun laws.
Wow, you're so proud of yourself. Too bad you don't pay attention.
I was replying to a guy who was saying that illegals have little to no effect on food prices. My reply was a refutation of that. You can't have it both ways. Either they have an effect on food prices or they don't. He says they don't, I say they do, and then you seem to think it matters what the political explanation is. As if, somehow, that destroys my argument. Perhaps, when you're done patting yourself on the back, you can explain that to me. You might also want to look into why there are anti-mechanization laws. It's to keep machines from taking away jobs from human beings. Not that it really matters because the laws just even the playing field by taking away tax breaks that shouldn't exist in the first place. Any company that has a real hard-on to go mechanized is perfectly free to do so just don't expect the fucking tax payers to pay for it.
And FYI...your final statement does nothing to refute my evidence either but I'd love to hear how I'm wrong. Thanks for playing, dipshit.
Hand harvesting of fruit and vegetable crops accounts for 50% of total production costs. So, please spare me this notion that it doesn't really effect what we pay in the grocery store. Some of us eat stuff other than wheat and corn.
Sorry but compression isn't going to make your shitty car stereo sound good. And the only reason I have to go to the "volume bar" is because of loud commercials.
This actually happened to me this last weekend when I went to the T-Mobile booth in the mall and asked about the Lumia 710 and was strongly encouraged to look the other way. They did relent and show me the phone (which they said was charging because the battery was fully drained but when they handed it to me, it was fully charged) but I had to be persistent.
I don't know why you keep talking about fairness since I've never asserted that the market was fair. Only an idiot believes in a fair market just like only an idiot believes in fairies. You're trying to change the meaning of "fair market" because the market we have now isn't a true free market and because that's inconvenient, you seem to want to change its definition. The definition of the word does not change simply because the US is incapable of creating a free market.
Um...no. To quote wikipedia: "A free market is a competitive market where prices are determined by supply and demand." For more see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market
So, there's still no reason to use it unless you're a Microsoft fanboy. I've also found it more buggy (i.e., it likes to crash) than the others but that's not covered in the referenced link.
People of religious faith make statements as if they are fact, whereas, I simply state they are "probably" evil. Also, there is no counter evidence -- only supposition.
Actually, I don't use Anon as a source of information with which to form my opinions about anything. At best, they may draw my attention to an organization that I'm not familiar with but I'll make my own judgements about whether they deserve the attacks Anon makes against them.
I have no idea whether Stratfor is evil. I was merely countering a previous claim that painted them out like they aren't evil when nobody seems to know much about them. I like to follow the money and people paying millions of dollars for info aren't doing it find out how often the president of Iran is taking a shit. Given that, Stratfor is probably evil but I have no real evidence to back it up. However, Anon probably does since they just stole all of their data so maybe it would be good to ask them.
There's actually very little info on what they do on wikipedia. I like how you make it out like it's highly unlikely for them to do evil. You have no idea what they do other than the very public stuff they are known for. Isn't it possible that they do some things that are less than honorable? Perhaps they are just an intelligence arm for corps that are trying to figure out new ways to screw indigenous people out of their natural resources. I don't know but I do know people aren't giving them millions of dollars for some generic intelligence info. The wikipedia entry refers to them as a civilian CIA. It's just common sense, dude.
It's only less polluting if you assume there's never going to be catastrophes and that the whole nuclear waste thing is no big deal. Those are very big assumptions. I think Chernobyl and the recent disaster in Japan has already proven the first one to be a very bad assumption and I'm guessing Greenpeace is trying to reinforce the point.

I still don't see the point. Proving your code works in some perfect world Gnome distro doesn't mean it will work in a consumer distro.

Design tools are useful for rapid prototypes but utterly worthless if you're going to turn the output into a real website.
Real UI developers code by hand. Everyone else is just a dilettante.

And mine charges up just fine.

Sorry but I cannot fathom how warmer water would negatively effect a coal plant.

The liberal arts loaded CIA has also done a lot of evil shit. I don't get your point.

My point is that you have no argument.
ROFL...they also have a laundry list of customers that most people would classify as evil (e.g., Blackwater). So try again.
