The ironic thing is that Mint and some other distros would go the way of the Dodo if only canonical actually stood down from their pedestal and listened to, hmm, basically everybody in the linux world?
PERHAPS because you actually know how to change it? Fine with me; but all these folks saying that it's a great visual really want to keep as away from the masses as possible. AND the effing irony is that there an immense amount of actually good artwork done by the community, and Canonical just ignores it. Mod me flamebait if you will, but the most popular linux distro seriously looks like its "Made for losers".
The IPCC Fourth Assessment Report predicts sea level rises of 7 inches to 23 inches over the next 90 years depending on scenario. The truth is that while it is possible that there could be increases in hurricane activity, "massive flooding" is unlikely to have a significant effect on industrial production. An industrialized country like China can build up a seawall one inch per year, or move factories away from coasts.
Isn't that GLOBAL? If you think Texas is big, take a little look at the Pacific Ocean. 7 to 23 inches is a major change. And by the way, even a tiny minor event like destruction of the Panama Canal can wreak total havoc with this little monkeysphere.
You had me at make a sarcarstic comment. This whole thing is about feeding the trolls. I think the only appropriate response to some denier is to 4chan the f*ck out of them.
"AGW has been proven to be bogus!1!!1!!" Response: Fuck yeah, and the moon landing was a hoax; 9/11 was executed by Cheney; the holocaust is a fraud; and the sun is a motherfucka charriot of fire.
When you enter in 4chan-land, you should respond appropriately
Anything remotely serious is just feeding the trools.
"Big-tit porn; priority no 1 of your Federal Government."
"Be safe: Please refer to the Australian secure masturbation laws."
If I had some shop skills, I'd be making an "official seal of approval", with the flag and the leading politicians behind this and some nice big government-approved tits on it.
You shouldn't be interested in their welfare. But stop daydreaming that they won't compete. If one in every TEN MILLION is capable of doing the next Skype or Infosys or Embraer, you'll have 570 foreign companies to worry about. Hone your skills and get ready for an even worse tidal wave of competition.
Well I heard some russian guy joined a friend from America and they started something up back in 98 that is now employing tens of thousands. Must have been some hoax I guess.
Dude, take your pick. Either you'll have more HB1s inside America, or you'll have competition from abroad. This is a binary decision. But of course, all of those 5.700.000.000 people from outside America aren't as smart or deserving as real Americans...
Now I am fully aware that this is a fine and dandy way to waste some good earned karma, but sorry, it's much closer to the truth.
You are right on target; I had some serious money to invest in a startup in CA, but the sheer humiliation involved with the immigration process just made me sick. Couple that with a sad growing xenophobic hatred for immigrants, from people with no understanding of economic change, and a firm belief that anyone not born in sacred american soil must not be as smart as them, as deserving as them. It's like Google and Yahoo, founded by *those horrible people==immigrants* do not employ Americans. I don't think for a second that SV is sinking; it will float because of its sheer brainpower, money, and network-effects magnetism. But the USA is--you can't live on borrowed money and think that no troubles will happen, ever. China has, with its 2+ Trillion of greenbacks, bought the USA, and it's just waiting for the receipt. F**k everything; my money is now on gold while I wait for the dollar collapse.
Policies that you can't argue against without putting yourself in an inferior position:
Patriot Act-->Who wants to be labeled as unpatriot in a time of grave danger?
Accounting by Fair Values-->Who wants to support "unfair" values?
Tax Relief-->Who the hell can be against relief?
etc; ad nauseam... The problem is that examples such as these are all complex laws with hordes of pages and technicalities, yet they sound FAIR, COMMONSENSICAL, HONEST, and with CA's direct democracy, Joe Average will be sucked into this type of framing trick.
I for one have always thought that ThePirateBay.org should change its name to "OurSharedCulture.org", or "AllHumanCulture.org". I REALLY Want to see a politician screaming on TV "We gotta shut down those bloody criminals from "OurSharedCulture.org"!!
And, what about the "halting problem"? We can't even write a program that can take any program as input and tell whether that program will stop or run forever. While, if you have a really smart programmer, they can look at any program and, after a little while, tell you not only whether it will run forever but for what input it will or won't run forever. So, humans can solve the halting problem but computers can't.
This is SERIOUSLY the most stupid thing I have ever read in my life. And I have read the Patriot Act!
I read and write them for a living, to answer your petty ad hominem. A journal with the slogan "Learn and Live" is telling you "Don't read this shit or die". The journal is intended to publish papers with CVD. Do you find that people that dance the macarena once a month have a significantly smaller chance of cardiovascular death? Then don't try to publish that in "Circulation"; my bet is that they'd simply reject outright. While other journals might take it.
The problem is that the journal *stands on* these types of health problems. One day, a scaremonger paper will be published without the real backing up evidence. Circulation is probably a great journal, but yes sir, it does have a bias and it likes these types of health hazards.

Hello there, we are the publishers of the renowned cartoon named "DILBERT", and we would like to include your illustration in the coming volume.
Glad that you woke up from the coma. Here's some news: there are now at least three plausible alternatives to the iPhone. The iPhone's profit margins are around 60%, but that ain't lasting for long, babe. http://brainstormtech.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2010/03/02/what-doth-it-profit-an-iphone/
Slashdot groupthink is going to be mighty confused.
Hell yeah!!1 Micro$$$oft is evil; hmmmm; oh what?
Team fortress by any chance? Steal the code, kill people, I can help with whatever task is needed.

If we are warming the planet who is to say it is not actually a positive thing?
Everybody knew there was a housing bubble. Very few expected the... wait for it...

Who the hell modded that "funny"? It's either "informative" or "insightful".
A real programmer can do all 25 in one line of code.
