Have you used the Software Center in 12.04? I think it's both easy to navigate and slick looking. There amount of things available for purchase have increased greatly over the last two releases.
Considering the usernames chosen for these posts, I have to conclude it's just GNAA-style trolling. A company paying people to post here probably wouldn't allow them to pick usernames like "JonesFuckAssFucker".
Goodness, in the not that distant past, we just called it 'being a responsible adult'....and we didn't have all these horrible debt problems in our society.
Is this a new affliction you're describing here?
No, it's not new. Wage growth stagnation has been ongoing for 30+ years.
Americans weren't getting paid more, but costs were rising. Taking on debt was the answer to maintain living standards without real wage increases.
I suppose it's more comforting to blame personal judgment failings rather than contemplate attempting to change the broken global economic system we currently have.
An awful lot of Americans are paying a lot and getting very little out of college right now... especially at for-profit universities. Every taxpayer has an interest in this subject because of federal student loans.
Major reform is going to be necessary because the college debt bubble is going to pop sooner rather than later. I applaud this man's effort to bring some fiscal sanity to the world of higher education.
Complacency here starts us down a very nasty rabbit hole.
TFA states as much, since the author admits there is no plan as to how Fedora will be bootable on Win8 certified ARM hardware except to "pray somebody makes non-Win8 certified ARM hardware".
The PIGS, being really bad at finance and good at grabbing money from other states, don't really help either - they like the status quo, they're big spenders and cannot realistically be kicked out of the eurozone, so they'll keep spending as much as possible, what are the others gonna do?
The way in which the Euro crisis is always spun into a simple morality story is very amusing. Greece and Spain, for example, got into their current situations while following very different courses.
Why can't everyone just export tons of shit like the Germans? Here's a hint: You can't export anything without someone else importing.
The actual nature of the global economic system doesn't allow for convenient and simple fairy tales to be told, so it is ignored in favor of a story little minds think they can parse.
Not to mention that it's probably not a perfect sphere, so a single radius doesn't capture its size.
Wikipedia sayth:
It is a near-perfect sphere, with an oblateness estimated at about 9 millionths, which means that its polar diameter differs from its equatorial diameter by only 10 km. As the Sun consists of a plasma and is not solid, it rotates faster at its equator than at its poles. This behavior is known as differential rotation, and is caused by convection in the Sun and the movement of mass, due to steep temperature gradients from the core outwards. This mass carries a portion of the Sun’s counter-clockwise angular momentum, as viewed from the ecliptic north pole, thus redistributing the angular velocity. The period of this actual rotation is approximately 25.6 days at the equator and 33.5 days at the poles. However, due to our constantly changing vantage point from the Earth as it orbits the Sun, the apparent rotation of the star at its equator is about 28 days. The centrifugal effect of this slow rotation is 18 million times weaker than the surface gravity at the Sun's equator. The tidal effect of the planets is even weaker, and does not significantly affect the shape of the Sun.
Slashdot Mirror
Welcome to Slashdot, please enjoy your stay.
I think someone has a sense of humor ;)
Maybe they don't like systemd...
Windows 2000 was the last MS operating system to include that game.
You can copy over the files and have it run just fine on Win7, however. :)

It's no more dumb than the fact the Skype devs apparently can't figure out how to compile using 64-bit libs.
Even the cheapest machines come with 4GB of RAM nowadays, so the time to go 64-bit is now.
Er... Slashdot? heh. :)
YDL hasn't had a end-user type release since mid-2009. I'm not sure if it's still supported with updates.
We call these laptops. As your requirements suggest, laptops won't be going away anytime soon.

Learning about a metal album release on Slashdot... :)
Thanks man. \m/
That's what you get for using a blasphemous browser with multiple tabs!

"IT drone who forgot the laws of physics" still beats "AC troll".
Roll d20 first before you start celebrating...
Part of pretending to be a new user is remember there are some things legitimate new users would never say.
"Where are the mods with a sense of humor?" is one such thing.
Try harder.
He was being sarcastic.
I hope they offer a SKU that does not have an optical drive...
Why? The whole point of consoles is standardization.
The 360 SKU with no hard drive was a mistake, this would be no different.
I think your troll detector needs new batteries. :)
Since anyone can pay $99 for a signed bootloader, doesn't that make the entire system a bit of a joke?
This whole setup is enormously complex and has very little benefit to anyone other than Microsoft.

Pointless? No more pointless than bitching on Slashdot, I guess.

I learned about it from a /. AC some years ago and I like it. :)

So more round than you might think. :)
