Next time around, I'm going 100% KDE. Not everything in KDE is best of breed, but I'd rather have tools that were designed to work together.
Why wait for "next time"? It isn't that complicated to migrate between DEs (at least on apt-based systems). In aptitude, install the KDE metapackage (kde-standard on Debian) and then mark the "gnome" category as auto-installed (Shift-M on the category itself, rather than individual packages). Restart X.
If there's a chance I'm going to get sent up the river for something I didn't do, I would prefer requiring that a dozen strangers be so thoroughly convinced that it's a unanimous decision; rather than one Judge that "understands" it all by virtue of having taken a Forensics for Dummies correspondence course.
You mean the decisions based on Microsoft's claims about how great IE6 was when it came out, so they locked critical business apps to it?
IE 7 was released 5 years ago. By that point, it should have been abundantly clear that the app's days were numbered. If nothing else, they should have at least started brainstorming the migration at that point.
He didn't say we're wealthier. He said we have a higher standard of living. Luxuries that not even the wealthiest king could have imagined way back when. Instantaneous communication world-wide, hot-cold water faster than any slave can fetch a bucket, fresh food out of season, crossing the Atlantic in less than a day rather than several months, relatively smooth roads and rides, a far wider variety of on-demand entertainment...
Interesting at the expense of hardware engineers. Why do hardware engineers have to put in all the time, effort, and knowledge, and get paid less than software engineers, while software engineers who make Phone apps and stupid facebook games reap in millions in venture capital ?
Simple: it's a lot easier to get one million people to pay you $1 than it is to get one person to pay you $1,000,000; and the VCs know it.
hahaha you're funny. the problem with your idea is that we already have plenty of manmade facilities the same size whose properties are known which could therefore be used for calibration.
Not to the same degree. OK, sure, you can point it at just about anything and eyeball whether it's in focus or not. But what about sensors outside the visible spectrum? Is there a weak spot in the lower left corner of the thermal imager, or is that part of your calibration target actually cooler for some reason? Only way to be sure is to have thermometers scattered across your target.

Also, let me know about the secret prisons china has outside its borders in order to torture people and circumvent its own laws.

You assume they need to be outside the country?

True, but in the picture it's practically one tail.
One blowtorch, one USB key chain drive -> coming to a Youtube near you.
Until UMG deletes it.
It looks more like KDE's equivalent of XFCE.

Granted, but the Accounting can't tell the difference between "expired and thrown in the trash" vs "expired and eaten"
I stopped reading at "I", realizing that the post wan't about me.
Changed my username. I've been here longer than this account.
Ah. There used to be a "Text with HTML" option or something like that, and Plain Old Text was...Plain Old Text.

Heck, Apache HTTPd became the dominant web server without any support from major players.

We've also got much worse.

Which is kind of stupid. I'm a creationist, but at least I recognize the difference between evolution and abiogenesis.
Oooh! Anyone up for Nerd Sniping?

Aye. Anybody can sell 'their' laptop on Craigslist and get 20%-50% retail for it. New-in-box processor? Good luck.
