For comparison: here in South Africa it costs ZAR 13.83 per litre or 0.264172 gallons. > ZAR 3.65 per gallon > USD 34.34 cents per gallon (@1 ZAR == 0.094 USD)
That is 15.94 cents above the current US rate. You are closing in.
Another side effect not mentioned in TFA is that mosquito zones would increase, allowing them to reach areas previously too cold to breed. Combined with mosquito borne diseases, could lead to a most epically disasterous time.
If the mag promises to cover various flavors across the gnu linux landscape, and the technologies and people surrounding it, then I would love to hear your reasoning as to how this is fragmenting the community.
Your optimism is noted but misplaced. PET plastics are recyclable but not biodegradable. The newer Bioplastics are however those are not readily used in production in any country where you would need to make a sun-light.
Exactly this. $630,000 that could be used to educate and bring awareness to the people. We are the ones targeted by products, and we have to make an informed choice about what is useful vs what is damaging. Isn't that also known as "geoengineering"? I believe it is, and on a global scale too.
Very well, but at least dedicate the effort to a worthy cause like Protein Folding, SETI processing or even a Library-of-Congress sized recipe book - the idiocracy present on facebook can fuck off and die for all I care.
I ran this simulation over a dozen times now, the results are terrifying. Try it for yourself, I believe it's called "Plague Inc" in the Android play store. Gulp!
The dimensions of thumbnails are as pertinent as the file size itself. The clutter-free look is very attractive in a world where every other forum has animated gif avatars, large colored signatures and superfluous use of !!!!
It is akin to how people post to mailing lists with the entire thread quoted. It's just bad netiquette.
The cb-welcome script starts by updating your sources list, then prompts you, by category, if you would like to install that category, or [s]kip. It's an interactive method for running a bunch of predefined apt-get install commands, this includes printer support, Libre Office, development tools, the Liquorix kernel, and some more. Nothing fancy yet simplicity rules.
Essentially it is is Debian + Openbox, albeit with some preconfigured, sane, defaults that runs tint, conky and compositing. Under the hood you can reliably use all the Debian tools you love.
I believe #!'s target audience is the person who already knows what they want, who enjoys or wants to learn how to tinker with the system, and who wants to help others do the same. And the forum certainly reflects this, brightly I might add:)
You are correct. The existing system will stay intact.
This is not aimed at changing packages that are already part of the Ubuntu archive; for the most part our existing system works well for those, and they tend to have non-trivial dependency structures. We'll continue to use dpkg and apt for building the Ubuntu operating system, syncing with Debian, and so on. There's no point developing a packaging system for apps and making it have the full panoply of features needed for the Ubuntu archive: it'd just be second-system-effect on top of our current packaging system. So the scope of what I've been considering is purely leaf apps built on a fixed "base system", which in the case of the initial target of the Ubuntu phone/tablet work would be the run-time part of the Ubuntu SDK.
Wrong. They need *community support* like so many Linux distros have. I have never had better help from the community than I ever, ever got through paid support.
This will never happen though! These people bought, along with their licensed "rentals" of Windows, a sense of indignation that stops them from entering and contributing to a community support structure. It requires a certain level of humbleness.
Slashdot Mirror
Absolutely!
It must be microsoft's answer to running in kiosk mode. Just like how UAC was added after-the-fact to provide a secure userspace.
Monty Python predicted this, they also predicted how to fix this problem, that video is left as an exercise for the reader to find.
The Architect
I for one am keen to see how this turns out. Will you keep us updated if you do try to get the rig running?
Oh and for the record: if I was someone who strives to be the first to say "use a vm!", I would recommend qemu / kvm :)

Tron, is that you...?
"The presence of the virus on the victims' teeth supports Brooks' claim."
Coincidentally, the author of The Zombie Survival Guide shares the same surname... or not so coincidental?
Talk about a historical cover-up!
You just made my day!

Hey, no way to have an open mind without open software :P

Analogous to a Trying-to-post-first-so-I-don't-care-if-my-response-is-half-baked post.
So *not* informative.
Apparently E.T's second name was "Cetera"
Undeniably so, but isn't it too late for that already, looking at this animated timeline of nuclear tests between 1945 and 1998. One wonders how the planet is still alive.

Probably between 1000 and 100,000,000 civilizations in the galaxy.

Ditto. It will save your sanity too!
