It is the right wing we have to worry about, the moralistic, want to lock you up if you don't follow all our moral rules, pro-rich, anti-union, anti-worker politicians, who will pass a law that gives you a 20 year prison sentence for opposing job benefit cuts, or reading indecent materials, or saying that 1% of the population should NOT control 90% of the wealth, etc.
If there's one thing Linux suffers from in the eyes of the newcomer, it's too much choice, leading to confusion, subsequent frustration (with support) and returning to their hated-but-known Windows.
Too much choice. Would you rather have things like under communism in the Soviet Union? You can have your car in any color, as long as its black!
If KDE goes away or becomes unmainted and I get stuck with GNOME I might even go back to Windows!
Windows is a far better interface than GNOME.
GNOME was just made because of a licensing issue, that has been resolved, and it should fold whatever good ideas (if any) it has into KDE and disappear, it has outlived its usefulness and now only serves to divide the user and developer communities and siphon off interest and support to an inferior platform!
Chris Brown was banned from the UK because of the time he hit Rihanna even though it was likely in self-defense (she was allegedly hitting him while HE WAS DRIVING because she thought he was cheating).
He was threatened he'd get many years if convicted, none if he pled (common threat to get people to not fight for their right to a trial), and a felony doesn't exactly hurt a career as a music superstar (*) so he stupidly plead guilty instead of fighting it, and likely his lawyer didn't tell him all of what he'd lose.
He'll likely never be allowed into any other country again. "Grounded for life" in the US. Can't see the world now, or ever.
(*) Aside from never again being able to give concerts outside the US, that is.
Oklahoma City is where their Aeromedical Division is, those are the folks that make sure you aren't allowed to be a pilot if you aren't perfectly healthy or haven't been all your life - e.g. if you had hay fever as a child or something.
Fossil fuels aren't causing desertification. If anything, global warming would INCREASE water, not decrease it, since heat drives the water cycle. Just like when you step on the gas in a car, there is more heat in the cylinders and ultimately more power, not less.
Now if you said hurricanes, that would make more sense.
The worst risk is when the fuel runs out.
Mass starvation and deaths due to disease from lack of sanitation and lack of medicine could kill billions.
Hundreds of millions would die from cholera alone, hundreds of millions would die from lack of diabetes medicines alone. Hundreds of millions would die from starvation alone.
If all the lights go out forever, we could very well have over half of the Earth's population dead in a decade.
How many comments should one be allowed to make before the government puts you in an asylum (and drugs you with Thorazine), puts you in Federal prison for years (and takes your rights away for life, e.g. owning a gun gets you 10 years then) or tells you under penalty of law to stop?
One? Two? A hundred? Who decides?
It shouldn't be a felony, or even a crime. It should be a civil matter, and only then if it isn't free speech.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the First Amendment repealed, or for someone to at least try to pass an amendment to repeal it.
If the alternative is a permanent blackout, they'll find a way to have it make economic sense or they will have the government do it, and switch from capitalism to a command economy if need be.
Without energy, there is nothing. No economy, no goods, no services, no medicine, no food, no life.
The iPhone is way too fragile for police work. They will end up broken the first day out in the field! Just look at how easily they are broken by civilians in regular life, now imagine what they'd be subjected to just by being carried by the average police officer on the job.

Best?
GNOME sucks and KDE rules.
KDE is the best.
And Britain stupidly bans Americans too.

And then mechanic who finds a way to reverse all that gets sentenced to be Bubba's girlfriend in the Federal pen for 5 years.
The regulatory regime in this country is simply too overbearing.
It will be hard to complain when they move to Germany,...
The EU is extremely overregulated. The USA doesn't even come CLOSE.
Getting a Windows program to do what you want is sometimes like pulling teeth!

Thank Wall Street and the 1% who want to keep getting richer and the pressure from stockholders for this.
Companies are obligated to make as much money this quarter as possible, ethics and even long term survival of the company and the country be damned!
Government may need to step it.
In the US, judges determine everything.
Article 3 of the Constitution says so.
The legislature creates law, the executive enforces/executes it and the judiciary interprets it.
Can you even buy something that low end nowadays?
I thought the most low end was embedded 486 CPUs.
50 cents a unit doesn't leave much room for profit on selling the item!
Because if you discriminate on age, you can be sued for huge amounts in a Federal lawsuit.
Age discrimination is not only evil, it's illegal.
Not on the Samsung a740.
From the manual for the cell phone:
You should never rely solely on any wireless device for essential communications like medical emergencies.
Remember that everyone who doesn't have a landline phone, or worse yet, wants to dismantle the public switched telephone network.
If you have an emergency, you want to have an non-IP landline phone! Or a good life insurance policy!
Could be intended to express surprise rather than indignation.
This is Illinois, where almost everything is a felony.
Heck, they made possession of SALVIA a felony, possession of raw DXM a felony and I think they might've made nitrous a felony.
But abusing 911 isn't.
Intel is better than AMD.
Sandy Bridge would crush anything AMD has.
