Your question could also be phrased as "Was it better to get Bush for president and 'An Inconvenient Truth' from Gore, or would it have been better to just have had Gore for president?"
In the "Back to the Pilot" Family Guy episode, GWB loses the 2004 election, goes back to Texas, and starts US Civil War II...
Hard to say whether alternate timelines might be better or worse.:)
With current *buntus you can download these non-OS packages during install. Even with an nVidia or ATi card, you can be up and running in the correct resolution on first boot.
It's too bad that engine development/engineering really never made it to the bikes.
That's true for something like a Harley, but engines on bikes of every other category have become extremely sophisticated. 600cc supersports models can rev to 18000rpm these days...
Were you around for the previous/. discussion on this? There is no benefit to changing to getting rid of timezones. You go from having to remember what timezone Chicago is in, to having to remember what time they eat lunch in Chicago.
We have months as a approximation of the moon's orbital period. That was important information of much of human history, but not so important for most of us nowadays.
How about approaching it by telling those same people that using Imperial units is propagating the British rule over America and until it is dropped, the US will never be truely free?
Americans seem to dislike the French more than the British.:)
There are too many politically conservative idiots, like my mom, who believe attempts at converting to metric represent a "socialist" conspiracy, and almost literally scream at any attempt to remove Imperial units in favor of metric.
Which makes it all the more amusing they constantly refer to the American Standard system as "Imperial".

Most current MegaCorps started in the late 19th or early 20th centuries, not in the post modern era of global competition and outsourcing.
I'm in the middle of a winter storm, you insensitive southern hemisphere clod!
Sounds like you should be using a different distro. Check out Debian.
I don't think I had logged into Facebook in something like 3.5 years, but I never did actually delete my account until just now. :)
Thanks for the link.
A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for the banks.
... and a vote for Obama is a vote for the banks. Seems we don't get any choice on this matter. :(

Windows 7 can't do that to my knowledge.

Do you have a globe? Alaska isn't close enough to the pole for the desired purpose.
Does Obama pay people to moderate slashdot?
Check the self-professed politics of /. users from a recent poll: http://slashdot.org/poll/2296/in-the-simplistic-leftright-divide-id-call-myself
To vote for him is to vote for more W's politics.
That statement applies just as much to Obama as it does to Romney, unfortunately.
Posting in a story from the same IP address you modded from will remove your mods. Whether the post is logged in or AC makes no difference.
it's "news for nerds".
That descriptor vanished from the site header around the time CmdrTaco retired. :(
LOL... your country shits out candidates
You should check the Google results for "Santorum" and see just how accurate your choice of terminology is. :)
Ron Paul didn't win Iowa and his very small chance at the Republican nomination is now even smaller.
It'll be President Obamney doing the bombing.
I have to agree with this. I can't really imagine Mitt running things even a little differently than what Obama is doing right now.
Filp-flopping brothers, separated at birth. :)
Alaska and Hawaii had become states by the time of the lunar landings.
Through God we will meet and defeat all other nations.
I say that to myself when firing up a Civilization game, too.
Generally speaking, he'd be correct.

Or 1000 if you like playing with dry ice.
Fixed...

The moon is doing that for us, at a rate of 15 microseconds per year... you'll just have to be patient. ;)

If you dig deep enough, all humans are linked genetically.
In common usage, "related" isn't much applied to anything beyond second cousins... so the stretch used here smacks of conspiracy theory.
