I'm not doing that:) I dislike KDE much, so I'm not even using it, sorry... I was just trying to say that KDE, as an infrastructure project, seems to take on Debian's system as a distribution of always having a fixed number of well-defined releases "in the air". For Debian ofcourse these are stable, testing, unstable and experimental. B.t.w. testing is indeed fine to use for desktop systems; it has about the stability of other distributions' stable releases.
The whole goal of owners (of themparks, buses, whatever) is to/make money/. So in terms of the pictures-farce: - They will try to deny you your right to take your own pictures, without exception with some clearly false excuse. - And they hire/the absolute cheapest button-clicker/ they can find!!! An idiot can think of that. And any idiot can/see/ it in any them-park. All these button-clickers are high school students or something alike,/never ever/ a professional photographer, as that would eat into the profit margins.
They DO belong on the piratebay. You said it yourself; they are/false/ accusations. By giving them to an intermediary to prevent these false accusations from being brought into play you/actually give credibility/ to these false accusations. Then again, it does give the leaker some protection against prosecution for these false accusations:). But to me, the balance is still wrong: stepping back for false accusations is a road into the abyss. The only wise long-term approach in this case is to fight all falsehood right-on.
I would guess someone offered the company a fair amount of money to have Brents domain names released and handed over. I'd seriously check if this message has been sent to all client of this "Network Solutions".
I got an eye opener a few months ago when I improved a new Windows laptop by installing Firefox. In the few seconds that the system (with Firefox) was without AdBlock, I got totally shocked as to how horrendously and utterly unusable most of web pages I frequent were with ads not removed. If I had to choose between using these pages with ads, or using them not at all, I would simply choose the latter and go on for a site that actually does behave. The same will hold here; pages that succesfully sidestep AdBlock, the most important thing on the web after Firefox, I will simply add to the blacklist.
Every time I point out the shaky grounds on which the so called climate "science" is founded I get lambasted by very vocal, very fanatical shouters telling me I am a denier. The conclusion is clear: I am wrong, all others with doubts about climate "science" are wrong, climate "science" is really science, and there is no uncertainty AT ALL in climate science.
Can I ask what country you live in? I have the feeling it must be rather underdeveloped. Where I live and work, laptops for everybody has been the standard for years already. Finding a desktop PC is a curiosity that makes you halt in your track. Cheers
I have been looking for a 13 inch ultrabook for a while now and I had been thinking exactly the same. I already have a 15 inch laptop with 1920x1080. There is no way I would need or want a higher resolution on this screen size; it fits perfectly. The same on 13 inch would be nice as it gives a bit more room to play with how much content you get on the screen versus the size of the content. But 3200x18800 on 13 inch is overkill. In addition, I would be paying lots of EUR extra for something that does not "do" anything for me. And I would say does not do anything for anybody. In my eyes this is a marketing trick, just like the whining about how many petapixels your camera or phone cam has and how many 1000 times it can zoom in.

There's probably many more angles to reply to this. Naming just a few: One thing would be the/spirit/ of privacy laws; the government should not access our data,/regardless/ of the method. Another point: the rules are outdated with repsect to information we give to companies: a) Much information we actually don't/want/ to give to companies, but are forced to or enticed to anyhow (and the government doesn't protect us from this); b) Information to companies is enourmouisly easier and more effeciciently abused or leaked by compnies than before the digital age; c) Privacy laws should already always have included (bits of) private information we choose to, or have to share with companies. Another: (Extension of above) We don't simply "willingly" share; we are coerced into giving up this data, it's just that not all people see it as clearly as that (even so many do, and many more would if explained and explicitly asked), and even fewer are vocal about it. But it's still the case. So the question posed by this government is actually flawed to begin with.
Aha, a karma whore. Well, I might be mentally retarded in your view, but that mostly just gives good insight on your own mental capacities... You are probably too young and unexperienced to have seen the fallout of the first ten years of centralised computing on Windows platforms, it was hell, outright hell. Properly implemented centralised computing can be good for a few scenarios, like the one you mentioned. Problem is that Citrix has taken around 10 years to come anywhere close to maturity, but has been forced long before that already upon troves of unsuspecting and understandably unwilling clients. Further it really is outright unfit for quite a number of use cases. And finally, maybe most importantly though rarely touched upon, is that to properly manage (not technically, but "IT manage") such an environment, really big changes have to be made in IT departments, which rarely happened. And still rarely happens. Maybe things have dramatically changed in the last few years, but at least until a few years ago, SuckTricks was indeed, as you say so colourfully, "shit".
Let's hope this starts the downfall of all Centralised Desktop Terror Computing (CDTC, t/m); too many people have been forced into utter frustration and unproductiveness for far too long already by SuckTricks and like products.
"Imperial: Bringing down rockets, satellites and planetary orbiters since 1957". It's retarded morons like you that can bring a whole country to standstill. If you're not willing to improve becuase you see no benefit, you're voting for regression, becausae other WILL improve. And you will fall victim to those others who do... And especially the "ehance your [own] life" argument is really often-stated, but nonetheless really, Really, REALLY dumb. "Mhooo; I see no enhancement in my own limited 1 foot [sic] range of sight, so it must be worthless". Bah.
... and labels are superior to folders (objectively so--they do the same thing as folders, only with an added feature)...
You are a fool. Probably a developer or so. Labels are not superior to folders. Yes technically they offer more possibilities than folders. No that's not necessarily a good thing. Having a predefined structure that you thought about, that is always visualised, and which fits for you to place all your mail in, is far better usabilty than being forced to attach zero, one, up to infinite criteria to each mail each time you receive one; It costs more time, your set of criteria will grow to infinity over time, you will get double labels meaning the same, you will not label emails in the same class with the same labels over time. In the end you are left with a bizarre pile of puke that has become usable only by searching it. And for searching a pile of puke you do not need labels. Labels are very much inferior to folders. And by the way, dargging in gmail sucks mightily, just like any other functionality. Both Yahoo mail and even Live Mail (sic!) are enourmously better, go figure what that means:(.
Maybe that will give them time to finally build and support a 64 bit version. 32 Bit should be the exception nowadays, but apparently they decided to drop (!) any further 64 bit effort... Yeah, i also still play 8 bit Commodore 64 games on my computer, perfectly normal:) If somebody understands that 64 bit killoff please explain to me...

Sooo, KDE goes Debian. No shame in there, it happens to the best so certainly KDE can be excused.
My HTC phone, ~1 1/2 years old, ~$400,- is and will remain stuck at 4.1.2.
And not supported by Cyanogenmod or anything else.
