The U.S. started it decades ago by propping up a dictator in Iran. If you are too lazy to read history, I suggest you go watch Argo. Hint #1: pay attention to *why* the Iranians took those hostages. Hint #2: Argo took place in 1980. Saying "Iran started it" based on their alleged actions in the past decade when this has been going on for over 3 decades is just plain silly.
It has not been demonstrated that they do actually have a covert weapons program. Iraq WoMD all over again. In addition, they are a sovereign country even if they were I would not begrudge them that. Several of their (hostile) neighbors have them, and the U.S. (also hostile) has enough nukes to decimate all life on earth... why should they not be allowed to pursue them? Stop crying foul over this bullshit.
I thought the point of open source was that anyone can fork it and roll their own. No-one should be beholden to their upstream source. This is what Canonical did, why do they flak for it? It still needs some work (re:customization), but I for one find Unity pretty slick.
The sender is bound to no such thing, and does not need to be in order for Google to do this. The receiver is bound to it, and it is the receiver that has and owns the email after the sender has sent it.
Same as if you hire someone to read all of your incoming mail - the sender of the mail need not be aware/agree to it being read. There is novel here.
REST APIs are your friend. If you follow solid design principles, such as seperating the view from the model, and use open protocols, adding a second UI is trivial.
Yes, but then the school actually has to say $X for tuition instead of $Y and then small print (or not at all) "plus Z for books, which is actually more than Y". If I ever were to apply to a for-profit school this is the first question I would ask: What is X? What is the *actual* cost including the bribes the publishers are giving to your profs?
I'd like to first start by saying that I did not write the AC post that is swearing at you etc.
And yes, it is anecdotal, but what else is there when talking about ease of use? I in no way mean to downplay all of the hard work that everyone involved in the community does to make linux the amazing distro it is - I have the utmost respect for these people and their hard work, but in order for linux to have widespread consumer adoption as so many people in the community claim to desire, this stuff needs to just work.
Also, this is not the first computer I have attempted to put Ubuntu on. In general I find every time I have to do quite a bit of work via terminal/config files to get things working. If setup requires use of a terminal or editing config files, it is characteristically NOT ready for consumers.
I am currently in the process of attempting to switch to dual boot with Ubuntu from Windows7. So far had to do the following:
1. LiveCD wouldn't boot, getting screen artifacts then it dies, had to add nouveau.blacklist=1 nomodeset
2. LiveCD won't recognize my drive, had to run some obscure utility to clean up the old GPT
What still doesn't work (1 day of use, I'm sure this list will grow):
1. Fn keys
2. Screen artifacts when switching users
3. Restart button with multiple users acts as a logout
4. Whether smb works is a coin flip
So no, I don't think linux is ready for the non-geeks, unless they have a geek do the initial install and then never make any modifications to it.

Pretty much why I'm here...
Makes total sense!
Vast bulk of actual dollars are hoarded not used.

I live 20 min drive from work, 10 min bike. Driving in the downtown core of a major city is counter-productive.

Intelligent people weigh the pros and cons on entering into an agreement, and if they see a net win for themselves they continue.
If you do not see said net win for yourself, you are free to avoid that contract.

We are borrowing money to give the rich big tax breaks.

Oh yeah .. and something about the internet that Canada doesn't have.
I live in Canada and have 100mbps internet with no cap for $50/mnth. Unlimited everything(calls/longdistance/internet) cell phone for $40/mnth.
The way I read his comment is that he is condemning both, not defending one. Both books preach violence and other more horrible acts.
I don't know about that, he got modded up. Positive Karma right there.
Nearly all Android users do not care about the Linux kernel being open.
Its not about the user caring, its about the handset manufacturers caring.
Magnets, how to they work?
Say what you want about it, call me a shill, whatever. I actually like Unity.
I don't get it

And if nobody seeded there would be no bittorrent.
I know and still don't care. Then again, I live in Canada... we have much different case law re: IP addresses used to identify actual people.
So margin of error for this study = +/- 100%
please excuse my "linux the amazing distro that it is" (as if linux is a distro) I did not proof read. Derp.
