Bingo! Listen to music produced today and compare it to what was around up to 15 years ago. The quality has sunk. No talented recording artist or engineer likes to work for a pittance.
How often do you hear about recording studios going bankrupt and having an unsuccessful business model? They don't.
This sentence alone clearly shows you know absolutely nothing about what's been going on in the music business during the last decade. Please shut up. You don't want to get me started.
The peculiarity of the boundary surface between the positive and negative sections of space, then, is, that practically all light that crosses it, crosses it in one direction, namely, from the positive side to the negative side.
Google Groups makes following a thread's history a LOT easier than any usenet reader (particularly when you're coming into the middle of a conversation).
No way. Get an account on one of the free servers with decent article retention time. You'll be able to access it from anywhere as well.
And why install an overkill graphics processing unit inside the processor if most people won't use it anyway?
No one's talking about installing a processing unit inside the processor. The whole point is that the CPU will simply be powerful enough to take care of all the graphics.
Because it's bloated as a single app, but less bloated then opening up a new process (or more than one!) for every single web page loaded.
Rendering engine choice has nothing to do with multi-process tabs. Chrome does its thing by spawning multiple instances of WebKit, so it's not like the "separate processes" philosophy is somehow built into the renderer. Firefox could do the exact same thing with Gecko.
"Everyone agrees now that KDE 4.0 was a mistake." I'm not too sure about that really, 'everyone'?"
You know what was a real stupid mistake? Releasing Kubuntu 8.04 based on KDE4.0, thereby letting down everyone who had been long expecting the widely anticipated long term support release, in sync with regular Ubuntu.
Yes, but within reasonable limits. If I have to install the whole KDE just to have a decent CD-burning GUI program, we're far off those reasonable limits.
And the end result is that I use `cdrecord` from the command line.
Exactly. What most people here don't seem to understand is that human greed and incompetence are the factors that will make any technology unsafe.
So it's silly to choose an energy source based on the probabilities of an accident. The wise choose their energy source based on the potential consequences of an accident.
You can point me to any old video of a plane impacting a wall. It won't do you a lot of good when you learn that the disaster at your backyard's nuclear plant was due to inferior materials or safety standards, employed because of somebody's greed for money.
Bullshit! If child pornography were the real target, they could have simply removed the binary groups. Removing alt.folklore.computers and alt.os.linux in order to avoid kiddie porn just makes no sense.

Open source does not work like big business. It doesn't stagnate because there's no competition.
Not entirely true, IMO. Even though no money is directly involved, a team of open-source developers will still want their project to be successful over competing projects as a matter of personal pride and potential business opportunities.
If there's no competition, they have one less motivation to keep up work.

Sounds very much like a battery.
They also have "groups" that aren't part of Usenet.

(x) Greylists suck as well
Not here... anyway, experts-exchange.com should be taken off the Internet by popular demand. Or, at the very least, filtered into oblivion by Google.

Yes, but not much bigger.
Yep. Definitely a girl.
You've obviously never tried that, mate. You're going to remove the whole freaking KDE with that one. So much for "modularity".
What a convenient example. Since I use Opera for browsing and I don't use a file manager, can you tell me how to remove Konqueror?
Yes, but within reasonable limits. If I have to install the whole KDE just to have a decent CD-burning GUI program, we're far off those reasonable limits.

Maybe, but I really wouldn't want my money to go to scammers.
Or sufficiently advanced technology?

I switched away from Emacs because I wanted to program with an editor, rather than program the editor.
With all the updates that came out for VAX/Unix in the last four years?!?
