MeMenu is a major feature. My g/f will go mad when she sets up her Bookface and Twatter accounts to stream simultaneously to her desktop! Remember that Ubuntu is for the consumer; The User's Linux Distro. If you want bare-bones and configurable, grab Debian Stable or Ubuntu Server. I'm pretty sure you can ditch anything you want out of those and make it just how you want.
Actually, the two most popular methods of damaging the GATSO speed cameras currently in use are either throwing a tyre over the supporting arm and filling it with petrol, or drilling a hole in the side of the case and filling the body with expanding insulating foam. I hear that both are quite effective.

Indeed! So, Let's take a TomTom Go Live 740 (The most expensive one listed under car navigation) at $349.95. That's SatNav and one year of map updates free. One year of map updates is $39.80. That's a total of 389.75 for two years of SatNav and updated maps.
Take an average Sat-Nav capable phone (purposefully not choosing iPhone): HTC Pure on AT&T is $49.99 before you even start choosing your tariff, and requires a two year $30 per month data contract. That's already $769.99, and we haven't paid the $100 for your navigation app yet. Oh, and we also don't have the extra year of map updates.
I can't see the plans for this phone, as I'm not a US citizen, but already I can see that getting a smartphone for satnav capabilities is just idiotic. If you have other uses for the smartphone, then yes you're saving money.
Don't ever think that using your mobile phone as satellite navigation is the cheap option, though.
Advertising execs aren't the ones who we're concerned about. It's the "Click the dancing monkey to win $100!" scams, or "Download smilies for your messenger app! Hear the sounds now! *GIGGLE FART SNORT SCREAM*" obnoxious Flash assaults on the senses which irritate us.
I typically browse with AdBlock enabled constantly, and whitelist sites I browse frequently. If I see one of these advertisements, I re-enable AdBlock. It's very effective.
You should absolutely not use AdBlock, the wonderful advertisement blocking addon for FireFox and Google Chrome, to block irritating and obnoxious advertisements when browsing the "The Escapist" website!
Anybody else think we're moving into an era similar to pre-Renaissance Europe? High quality education and high art for the elite and rich, "No Child Left Behind" dumbed-down bare-basic education and low-brow comedy for the underclasses.
Release the formula and process of manufacture to the public under a GPL-like license. If it can't be sold by pharmaceutical companies, it's making no money anyway.
Hell, market it as a plant food. It worked for Methodrone for a while.
Because then you're living with whatever side effects are present. Consider that an unknown side effect in 10% of the population is causing cerebromedullospinal disconnection.
Picture telling a man who was just told he had six weeks to live that he now has a long natural life, but can only move his eyes for the whole duration of it.
I very rarely play multiplayer FPS's, I meant single player. Fiddling with an analogue stick to align the weapon in just the right place to headshot in Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 *really* irritated the hell out of me. That would be a half-second move with a mouse.
Yep! I've spent my time explaining the difference between theft and copying on one of the few websites on the internet where everyone should know the distinction.
The legal definition is in line with the definition I gave, so it really is "everyone else" who is wrong.
Calling illegal copying "theft" is a sign of stupidity, and joining in with the mouth-breathing, brainwashed swathes of Daily Mail-reading, Fox News-absorbing troglodytes of the world makes you one of them. When the law says that illegal copying = theft, I'll change my mind. Until that point, it's still just copyright infringement.
Enjoy your time with the popular crowd. I'm not sure you fit in here anymore.
So, you wouldn't say you were participating in an interactive story utilising the processing capabilities of your computer, then? Obviously, a game has an objective (to win) yet your situation has no winning scenario, just varying endings.
You can't "win" at World of Warcraft. You can achieve excellence, and aquire the best trinkets, but ultimately that is not what the game is about.
It's a story. It's hundreds upon hundreds of hours of lore, spanning many continents and ages.
WoW is the representation of the main character of any fantasy novel written in the first person. Take Pug out of Magician, and replace it with "I" and you have what WoW is. What any game with a plot is.

Isn't that a major selling point of Linux?
