What exactly is it that you right-wingers think George Soros does, that inspires so much hatred? It's amusing that you Fox News disciples seem to think that just uttering the man's name means a lot to the rest of us. It doesn't. The only time I've seen any examples of what he's supposedly so bad for, was when Glenn Beck tried to claim that Soros helped the Nazi regime (when he was a child no less), which is utterly stupid, along with false.
When you look at what he actually does, he is a pretty solid fighter of communism, and fascism in Europe
Yeah, it wasn't our new global economy, was it. Funny that you blame liberal democracies for the problems, and side with China. Where would they be without the globalization that has pushed the western world off a cliff?
No nice way to put this: You live in a fantasy world, that doesn't exist. You are out of touch with the real world. Turn off cable news and AM radio for a week. Just one week.
What we need are leaders who won't cut taxes on the rich, while sending everyone else out to fight bullshit wars. Tax cuts during war, is what got us in this mess.
Because Norquist is fine with that. He's out to protect the top 5%. Guys like him whine that someone who makes 12,000 a year doesn't pay the same dollar amount as a guy who makes 1,200,000 a year, so they love draconian flat tax plans.
No, in fact, they are not. When the Democrats are putting social security on the fucking table, and Republicans still won't give in on tax cuts for the top 1%, I"m not even sure how you can make that claim unless you're not paying attention, or paying attention to Fox News.
The sad thing is seeing people, even here in this thread, arguing in favor of reducing the middle class down to third world levels. No talk of fair trade, just that everyone should take a pay cut to compete with slave labor.
Yes, don't insist on minimum wage laws in our trading partners, just lower the price of labor here, while the CEO's keep raking in huge obscene bonuses.
Your solution is just cuts, cuts, cuts, and kiss the middle class goodbye.
And if it weren't for Phoronix "advertising the problem" it most likely still would be sitting there, not getting attention. So you've lost complete respect for them, because they highlighted a problem in Linux, that needed to be fixed, and it got fixed?
You can argue of semantic word games all day, but for a lot of users a "problem" was fixed. It might not have been a "bug" "in" Linux, but the end result was that battery life under Linux suffered, and that has now been fixed.
Yeah sure thing, that's why the same card works flawlessly when just using ALSA. The only systems I've had problems with that card are ones that use Pulse Audio. Remove it from the equation and audio works fine.
Pulseaudio is the worst. I never could get it to work with a Creative Audigy sound card. I just had to laugh when someone said "It's not going to work on every exotic configuration!". Yes... Because we all know how exotic Creative Labs sound cards are.

I think we should power our society by burning chiropractors.

The stupid.... IT BURNS!!!

During war time? It's fine to ask middle and lower class people to sacrifice their lives, but raising taxes on the rich is out of the question?

Coming to a head near you: The story of a capitalist that fucked the consumer, and you can get streaming video of it from the IT guy!
I'm glad we're not wasting all of this money on medical research, or the space program, or evil socialism.
I'm so glad we have our priorities straight, and are still building up a massive arsenal against that imaginary enemy of ours.
That site, and the game itself, is actually hilarious! It's in the realm of self parody at this point.
Let us know when Greenpeace is convicted of something like this.

I'm fairly sure Mint has had something like that for a long time.
It depends on what version you're using. They also have a rolling release version based on Debian Sid.
Silly me, thinking it was about freedom and choice.
