There ought to be a limit to how much a person can consume
There is a limit, it is called the mbps of the connection you pay for.
If ISPs didn't want to you consume more than 4gb/day then they should only provide you with the bandwidth to consume 4gb/day. Simple.
Well if only tiny fixes go on in between release candidate and the released version, nothing major would change therefore it *still* wouldn't be for your average user.
Ah, I see. So basically, it isn't a release candidate as there is no chance of it being released 'as is'. No wonder people don't trust their programming, they can't even get the terminology right.
I only mirror Ubuntu as I don't have any Fedora systems. And I do not have the connection to make my mirror public ( 75% throttle after 500mb upload ) otherwise, I would.
The mirror on my LAN that finished updating 5 minutes before the connection dropped. I would probably use it more to monitor the machines, as I only own 4 of the 7 active ones on the network, the others are other members of the family, than use it to do updates anyway.
Is it possible to run your own server? If not, isn't it just another piece of vendor lock-in?
I'm interested in using it but I don't want to depend on Canonical. For example, what if my internet connection goes down? I'd lose the ability to use Landscape at all, right?
Apples and oranges in a way, I can't resize the "window" of a newspaper. Also, all the space on it is used whereas fixed width sites tend to waste a lot of space! On the other hand, the line length on newspapers is ridiculously stupid at times. 5 words per line? Jeez.
Fixed width also means I can't balance the seeking time involved in finding the start of the next line and the read speed of a continuous line of text to my own personal taste..
I've never seen a fixed width site that had any benefit from being fixed width. And besides being easier for the developers, I can't think of one. Can you provide some examples?
Hey, how about maybe the poor school performance was due to the fact that school is boring ( it is pretty much just memorising facts and figures ) and the more bored the child is, the more likely he is going to do something interesting/exciting like, I don't know, gaming?
bacon bits and garlic in your strawberry ice cream
You don't?:) And yes, I was only joking.
I did have the "Realplayer" experience and I think you are actually quite on the mark in regards to available bandwidth vs. required bandwidth. I think people jab at it because it was marketed as "the next generation" system for everyone but fell flat on its face due to the realities of the infrastructure it was used on ( i.e. not ready ).
And that isn't the only thing wrong with most people in the world today..

You are aware the command-not-found is available in Debian too, right?
And what is the alternative to it? Can you pass aptitude/apt-get/dpkg an executable name and it respond with what packages supply it?

But then you don't get the achievement :(
While I was learning to drive, I managed to skid the car which had ABS in the dry so either ABS is a con or the instructor needed his car fixing!

It's available to as many people who see fit to use it, although we wouldn't recommend it to just your average user
If this is a release candidate, they are basically admitting the end product won't be for the "average user".
Those space cowboys aren't doing their job.
Get to work, Spike.
These looks quite interesting..
Is there a UK plug version?
Did you install Ubuntu on it yourself?

I have a question about Landscape.

Thank you ( and your post siblings ) for correcting that incorrect line of thought.
That makes perfect sense.

The world's most advanced open source database
Shame they couldn't spend a little time and allow the website to fill the width of my browser. IMO: Fixed width site = lazy design = unimpressive.
Actually, I have had "permission denied" while running a command as root ( listing a directory ) so even root is not 'all powerful'.
Isn't that called theft?
you don't have to get good grades
You do if you don't want to be labelled as a "game addict".
Please lead us, oh wise one... by example.

Seriously, why does the blame always go one way?

Yo dawg, I heard you like buffering so I put a buffer in your buffer so you can buffer while you buffering!
Damn, now the word 'buffer' looks weird.
You said it yourself:
"I wanted to find and beat the crap out of the guy who made it available."
The guy who made it available != TPB
In fact, perhaps more correctly, hardware stores that sell knives help commit knife crimes but haven't been prosecuted for it.
