Maybe I should compile a list of politicians' names, positions, and their political parties...
Next round of elections, mainstream media won't be able to mention the incumbents without paying my some obscene license fees.
Something can be morally wrong (arson, murder, jaywalking...) without being "theft". Copyright infringement is one of the things that falls outside the definition of theft regardless of its moral status.
I've heard the analogy go like this:
Windows is a brick building with bars on the windows and an alarm system in a bad part of town. That's "security hardened". Attacks are quite likely, and successful attack techniques spread quickly through the underground.
Mac OS is an adobe hut with no locks in the desert. That's "Safety". Attack likelyhood is low.
As someone living in central California, I can assure you that "in a bad part of town" and "in the desert" are not mutually exclusive.
It's much simpler for me to install base Debian (or Ubuntu Server?) and then install the applications I want, rather than installing Ubuntu and removing the applications I don't want.
In much the same way, why would I want to keep track of Windows features that need to be disabled every time it's installed, when in Linux I can know the insecure options aren't enabled because I haven't enabled them.
As I understand it, the final verdict of the review is that it really hasn't improved that much...
The last paragraphs of the review said:
The bottom line is that this operating system installed flawlessly on all five of our test systems. It also performed quite well, showing both significant and incremental improvements in most areas over the previous Long Term Support release. The stacked feature set, unparalleled ease-of-use, rock-solid stability, and heavy coat of polish make Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx the most approachable Linux OS to date.
So, it is without an ounce of trepidation that we are unseating the now one year-old Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope and calling Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx the desktop Linux distro king.
I keep some offline Debian machines updated, and `apt-get --print-uris --yes` is an easy cli method of getting a list of files to download. I haven't found an equivalent option in aptitude.
I'm pretty sure one of the first limits creditors have on a loan's size is... how much the debtor asks for. If Tesla only applied for $465 million, I doubt they'd be given more.

OK, can we have a test that includes all specifications of the HTML5 Working Draft?
Is that a fact?

I believe that is a US vs British situation.
Slashdot vs British?
You are arguing that it is OK to steal software and break licenses but to download a movie is a crime?
I think he's saying he can use Linux to order a DVD from Netflix and stick the disc in one of these.

You could stick the hard drive you intend to use on the new architecture in the compiling computer and copy the binary from there.
I'm not as smart as most of you slashdotters...

Wasn't he still at Sun when they tried the "eat your own dog food" approach with Solaris there?
Maybe Google has better dogfood.
IEs4Linux seems to be getting a bit dated. Anything out there that can replace it?
I see it, though ZPMs don't usually have a ~10m torch flame coming out one end.
...coexist peacefully with people who don't like you very much...I think you have never met another person in your life.
Or at least has never been stuck for a prolonged period of time with one of those people that don't like him.
Nah, just skimmed the conclusion.
There is a lot of under-hood changes in libs which as end users we cannot see.
Define "cannot see". So it's no more stable than 4.4? No faster? As an end user, I'm sure these are things I'd be able to measure.

Debian unstable users can install the open-source build with aptitude install chromium-browser

What, the VP8 encoder can't be tuned for higher resolutions over the next few years?
I think I've seen a 7z option in ark (Debian unstable).
I think that is geekoid's point.

As a Slashdotter, are you really going to be that picky?
They seem to think it's ok to wait months, and then only update with the entire OS.
That's their policy for all software. Try the backports repository.
