Can I please just keep my email, please? I don't want your filters, I don't want you telling me that I've got ten minutes to board a plane as I already sodding know this.
Whenever anyone tries to apply an algorithm to my data they manage to hide the things I care about and show me nothing but the bullshit I can't stand. Does this really have to be the fate of my email, as well?
What I want to know, and hitherto have not bothered to look up, is who in the chain of responsibility decided that we should have been forced to go from something that worked to something that required you to learn how to use stupid new-age UI paradigms that don't sodding work.
I don't want to swipe things in
I don't want to search when I know where things are
I don't want things hiding from me
TBH, I'm still sticking with MATE. Coz this shit's annoying.
But then you'd need to include a Li-ion battery because those screens chew through AAs like no-one's business. Students, who basically throw the calculator in the bag after they've done their homework would forget to get it charged, would then no longer have the option of asking teacher for some spare batteries and would need to work chained to a wall-wart.
They've been trying this shit for YEARS and fucked it up EVERY TIME.
A phone is not a tablet is not a laptop is not a desktop is not a games console. They have been throwing away good, functional UIs in favour of making an unusable compromise run on everything. If they're talking about a windows "kernel" then fine, I get it. But they won't be.
This is a shitty, monopolistic way to go about it, but amazon kind of have a point. eBooks, a product which has no per-unit cost often cost the same amount, or *slightly* less to purchase on Kindle.
If there's no physical cost to produce, then it's a shitty move to try getting the customer to pay the same for what is frankly an inferior product.
It's more the deal that if you're a large drugs company why would you make one of these drugs when it's going to be such small batches as it's not used therapeutically? Your drug companies are too big to bother, and probably don't want the negative press of making drugs exclusively used to kill people.
I ditched Ubuntu about 18 months ago. I really, *really* hate the "Search for your stuff even if you know where it is" paradigm, and trying to use it just makes me infuriated.
Moved back to Debian for servers and Debian back Mint for desktops a long time ago. Only problem with Mint is that by default you're stuck with whatever search / content provider affiliates they've decided you want.
Correction: Boost and Cricket both use the Sprint CDMA network.
If he's bringing his own phone from a different country he'll need a GSM/HSPDA network. Globally, LTE should be the single standard once 4G is on worldwide rollout, but it won't be there for years. Maximum interoperability requires GSM.
I've spent way too long looking at mobile phone standards in the last couple of weeks.
You appear to be on an incredibly cheap deal...
In the UK, my pay-monthly charges are ~£35 a month, including "unlimited" internet that throttles back to EDGE if you try going over 2GB
The UK operators, it is noted, paid an insane amount of money for their UK 3G licences in 2001, which they are still trying to recoup. I'm also paying for a Galaxy SII that got nicked.
I had trouble getting the kit retail, so I got a colleague with a US card to order a couple of SIMs for me online. Yeah, it's got a silly fifteen digit activation code on the paper slip.
$440? for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, though? It's $349 on Google's direct sale site... There are about ten of us from the UK on a US project, and we've all got onto this plan, and five of us have bought the Galaxy Nexus.
Great combination.
Go to the T-Mobile web-store and buy a SIM activation kit for $1. When you receive it, follow the activation instructions on the web and when it asks you to choose your plan, select "Monthly 4G $30"
* Unlimited internet* * Unlimited Text * 100 minutes talktime
It's basically a prepay deal where the available balance will drop by $30 a month, so you just need to top-up once a month, and make sure you have enough credit to cover any calls you make over the 100 minutes No ongoing contracts.
Deal is web-only.
*Unlimited internet means up to 5GB at HSPDA+ speeds.
If this came with a dedicated VFD it'd be a ton better.
That said, getting the mplay blast VFD / IR receiver working under ubuntu brought new meaning to the words "suck" and "pain", so embedded / native support might be nice...
Don't be an idiot. "Liberal bias" is a term used by American conservatives when they don't agree with the way they're represented. You may notice that the rest of the world doesn't try to apply a conspiratorial overtone to what is essentially a chaotic medium.
I've now done the upgrade from Intrepid on three machines and here are the results:
1. Work Machine - Uses an Intel 965 Graphics cards, support of which is broken until kernel 2.6.29 / 30 according to the forums, and won't be properly supported until karmic. Fucking annoying, since by 'broken' I mean "utterly non performant".
2. Home Laptop. Ran just fine, but apt decided that I didn't want the restricted packages installing on the upgrade, so my atheros wifi card was out of action until I could get the.deb from somewhere else. Annoyingly, the madwifi drivers seem to kill whatever ubuntu do to NetworkManager so I'm stuck using the propietary, even though they've been in the kernel since 2.6.25.
3. Home Desktop. This has killed X. Killed it good. At the moment I've no idea how it was managed, but it was...
I love ubuntu, but this upgrade has gone horribly wrong for me on two out of three installs, and 'smoothly' on none of them.
No, my friend. You are the arrogant one, for assuming that I was expanding my argument to all mac buyers. I don't I accept that for certain tasks they are the standard, and I don't have a problem with it. I never said I knew more than all Mac users.
I was actually referring to the Starbucks slurping, Khaki wearing, self appointed kings of techno-cool. You don't want to run Ubuntu on everything. Fine. That's your prerogative
I missed off the major thing that gets my goat about Macs. And that's that Mac users take everything that isn't fawning appreciation as an attack. Which you helpfully revealed at the end of your post.
One of my major issues with Apple is that they force users to spend through the nose for standard hardware so they can run an OS.
I mean, my other problem is that Macs make people with more money than tech sense tell me that I don't know how to do my job, and that they "just work" - A claim I can almost instantly prove wrong by crashing the bloody things.
Nope. These kids come from rough homes, and no teacher is going to able to countermand 16 hours a day of "no rules". Not by the time they're older than nine or so.
Whether you choose to believe it or not, some kids, barring intensive socialisation programs, are write offs. If you've got a mixed ability class, the best you can do is to stop them wrecking everyone else's chances. By paying for school, you're just removing everyone who hasn't already had their problems 'fixed' with dubious kiddy psychiatry.
It's the teachers that make the difference. Go back fifty / sixty years and there's no difference between the technology, since it wasn't there. Technology is more or less irrelevant in schools (Unless you are specifically learning about the technology).
Money would be irrelevant if America wasn't so broken that all the decent teachers can think is "100k a year" instead of teaching some people who could _really_ use their skills.
Cool. I'll do that. Send me a plane ticket and my 2.4 and I are there...
The solution is simple. Stop the PTA managing the school boards, and just have them as a kind of "Viewers group". It's how it works in most European countries. Stops people who don't know anything about Education fucking it all up...
Of course, I don't actually know how it works in the states, as to whether the PTA has some kind of managerial right.

Do you not need a visual secondary? I don't think they're valid here in the UK unless you've got a reference marker and at least two pictures.

While I like the idea, as a motorcyclist who has had the odd 'off', I don't think I want a glass prism centimetres from my eye.

It's not even getting as far as gdm. just outputs garbage to the screen...
You assume that "serious commercial software developers like Adobe" are required.
Linux appears to be getting on just fine without them.
