On install, ask if this is a mobile device... if it is, install your screwy new UI. But no-one will click that option because there's already a fantastic Linux distro for mobile called Android.
If they don't chose mobile (and no-one will) then install a "normal" desktop.
Lolwut? If you installed on a desktop, and it never detected a touchscreen, what's the difference?
Yeah, it wanted to be Metro so bad, it went back in time and came out years before Metro just so it could be even more Metro than Metro. THAT's how bad it wanted to be Metro.
In fact cat and sedentary people are almost indistinguishable, from computer's point of view.
Cats are nocturnal. They're sedentary during the16 hours a day you watch them, then stalk to house all night looking for bugs to torture. I'm pretty sure a computer can figure out the difference between diurnal and nocturnal.
I guess you missed the/. article a few days ago about how good North Korea's cyber unit is. They're one of the top countries, after US, Russia and China. They're Chinese trained, and work in China where the infrastructure is a little better. Say what you want about the rest of the country, their cyber capability is significant.
It's fortunate that nothing else changed during the same period of time, and that, with the invention of time machines and alternate realities, we can re-run the universe with multiple variables. Otherwise, it would be easy to confuse correlation with causation.
Dumbass. When they talk about increasing productivity, they're not talking about you controlling your toaster with your remote. They're talking about an army of connected sensors on the production floor, delivery trucks, planes, etc and all talking to each other. They're talking about more accurate weather forecasting from distributed barometers in smartphones and other sensors. Thing bigger. Yes, this is going to be big, but not technically bigger than the internet, since it's part of the internet.
Hardly. I'm saying we need to do a million times as much.
Imagine pushing a boulder down a hill. Buying more efficient light bulbs is akin to pushing the boulder less. Or imagine charging money to your child's credit card and amassing a large debt. Buying more efficient light bulbs would be aking to spending less on the card, but still spending. We need to stop pushing altogether, get out in front, slow it down, stop it, then push it back up the hill. We need to stop charging money to our children's credit cards, start sending money to it, pay it off completely, and start putting money in savings.
Buying more efficient light bulbs isn't even in the same ball park with what we have to do save the planet. I'm not advocating giving up, I'm advocating changing the focus and doing a million times more to save ourselves.
What about brick production, which emits massive amounts of CO2? What about declining rain forest and other ecosystems that store CO2? What about undoing the damage that's already been done? What about the positive feedback loops like methane being released from the tundra as it melts? The global climate is way more complex than this, and buying a Prius and high efficiency light bulbs aren't going to cut it by a long shot.
Sometimes studies find things that defy our intuitions, no matter how strong. So yes, even things you are certain of should be checked. What's the harm in verifying something you "knew"?

Did you not even make it half way through TFS in your race to be frist?

Didn't Iron Man use one of these to make starktonium a few years ago?

MIght as well just call it "We're 16, still live with our parents
Well, not everyone was running their own company at 17 like you.

Neoligism is a neologism!
If you live in a developed nation you're orders of magnitude more likely to die of the flu than of ebola.
...if you're a toddler or senior citizen.

And the Apple store.
What, and not be able to post on Slashdot? No thanks.

And it seems they're still using those first computers sometimes.
Praying to God this is just a troll.

Do I really have to point out that a rock that left Mars 4.4 billion years ago will potentially have different things in it than a rock from today?
Yeah, the first country to develop one. If Japan, Germany, or Russia had developed it first, does anything think they would hesitate to use it?
Well said. The first snarky remark I thought of was, there's a reason the word counter-intuitive exists.

It's a schoolbus crashing into an Aerobee.
Wow, your books must be really heavy to make a supersonic boom in less than 1/32 of a second that sounds exactly like a gunshot to a computer.
So I'm guessing you didn't RTFA where they talk about the Hydra? I know, I know, I must be new here.
You mean besides killing Bothans?
