Adoption Of A Single, Standardized Interface Design
NO. choice is good. I'm not sure how to have the user chose b/t KDE/GNOME, but as long as programs are logically designed we should be ok.
I halfway agree with both of you. I would like to see the distros choose one or the other. IE...RedHat likes Gnome they should dump KDE, and stick with Gnome. Suse likes KDE, use it and dump Gnome. But damnit pick ONE. Don't do like RedHat is doing and pick both and try to make them look and act the same. Offer the other desktops as optional downloads, don't even put them on the cd's.
As for the binary distribution for all software, how about a graphical installer for all software. In windows to install software you find the setup.exe file and run it. How about something where I have blah.install file and can type at a command line install blah.install or go into an add/remove programs type feature and have it install from the blah.install file. And no rpm isn't it. rpm and apt are good starts at this. There was an article on this a few weeks ago.
name some illnesses and point me toward some studies that show the link.
As anectodal evidence, all my high school friends are fine and well adjusted, many now married with children. A fair number of my siblings friends are not. Some are on the drug du jour of the moment Ritalin or Prozac or some shit like that. One attempted suicide. My sibling and his friends had active sex lives as teens.
Unfortunatly my anectode isn't worth much. But I never said anything about demonizing sex. Unless you are ready to face the consequences of sex then you shouldn't do it.
there's over 6 billion of us on the planet right now. that was not done with sound religious planning. HA! I think it's more because religons generally promote child bearing that there are 6 billion of us now.
by the way, how does a little self control deny anything about human sexuality?
wrap that pecker if you don't want to infect her Oops, sorry baby, the damn thing broke, or came off, or my sicko roommate sabatoged them (did you see that video on Fox?).
i am certain there are people out there who can abstain Abstaining is not some mystical process. It's simply not fucking. If you can't not fuck, then I would imagine there being something wrong with you. You lack self control, probably go impulse shopping all the time and gamble too much. Give me a break. EVERYBODY can not fuck. Eating is harder not to do. You probably eat 3 times a day. How many times a day to fuck? Ok, how many times a week? A month (you poor married bastard:-P) ) There is a sex drive, but it can be over-ridden and it isn't the all consuming force you make it out to be.
No, it isn't. It's all about culture. If the kids are raised where abstinence is the way to go, then you get teens that use abstinence. If you raise them to use condoms then they use condoms. Where/when I went to high school, no body did anything except get drunk on the weekends. When my family moved and my younger siblings started high school, that high school handed out condoms, but also had a day care center. Which one the teens are more likely to chose. They use the one they are told to use.
How the fuck did this get modded up? There is nothing here. If you change 'Bush sucks.' to 'Clinton sucks.' you get the same rant but with a rightist spin. Nothing about anything written in the article, hell, this post isn't even funny.
OK. For some reason, all the posts sem to say the same thing.
Bush sucks
Conservatives don't believe in global warming
Condoms are good, how dare Bush push abstinence on the people.
First, Bush doesn't suck. Granted I'm a right leaning mid-liner, but that isn't a crime unless I'm in Berkely or San Francisco.;-)
Second, if you believe in global warming, find some real evidence. Yeah there may be an elevated level of CO2 in the air now, but CO2 is a piss poor 'greenhouse gas', methane and water vapor work way better. If there is a global warming trend I'd be inclined to think that it's the sun causing it as there is evidence that Mars is warming, also.
Thirdly. What's the best way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases? Condoms or Abstinence? Maybe there was a leftist bias on those pages to begin with and they really do refect more acurately scientific evidence?
yeah, but then you have to come back 2 weeks later after the bruises have healed and say that you didn't punch them in the face. The photographs were faked in photoshop. You didn't make him see stars, he was looking up at night. There is no bruise.
nope, sorry, I went to a tech school to study EE instead of a real Uni and study math. I can apply it, but the deep math goes over my head. Which makes me wonder, if they can be 99% sure that those digits are random, how many 9's (99.9999999) can they be sure? Or is my question a non sequiter, like what's a mile north of the north pole?
Among the most puzzling mysteries: Mathematicians are pretty sure, but still cannot prove conclusively, that the numbers following 3.141592 occur randomly.
"I don't think we're any closer to answering this question than the Greeks were 2,500 years ago," Borwein said.
Um, you have 1.24 trillion digits of pi. I think you can begin a statisticall analisys now.
I think I read somewhere that to draw a circle to circumscrible the known universe with a an error of +/- the width of a proton, you only need to know Pi to about 20 places. What practical purpose is there to know pi to 1.whatever trillion places. Unless, of course, you're Count Duckula, in which case it's a party trick.
Q. Why didn't you include Mozilla? A. We were contacted by a developer in the Mozilla project, who asked us not to include Mozilla. The Mozilla.org project provides binaries for testing purposes only, as anyone who has read this page knows -- scroll down to the very bottom, and you will find a notice to that effect. In short, they do not want to wind up providing end-user support to people, and so they ask people not to re-distribute Mozilla unless it has been customized to make it clear that Mozilla.org did not provide the binary and will not support it.
Unfortunately, it is not at all clear what requirements we need to meet in order to be able to re-distribute Mozilla, or what level of customization would be needed to do so. Also, we didn't have anybody willing to take on that task. If you want to help us out with this, get in touch! Beonex is a fine product, but we tend to think that Mozilla is better, especially since it is updated much more often.
Dilbert is coming true. Remember the one where Dilbert is at the computer store and the saleman says something like "this computer only has 1 button and we push that for you before is leaves the factory".
Actually I believe the captain's yacht was in an episode. The one where the Enterprise is funneling engery to a Romulan warbird and somehow space time shatters. The one where Picard goes for a owl of fruit, screams and his hand has like 4 months of fingernail growth.

Freud has been widely discredited in the field of psycology.
Ha! Hasn't MS been paying attention? That particular problem has already been solved. It's call BASH.
Hear hear. I thought the water cooling article got a bit hot. (ha)

Ok, but which one works better at preventing STD's and pregnancies? A condom or abstinence?
(just trying to get you back onto the discussion, you were veering off topic. Next thing you know you'd be screaming about global warming.)
yeah, but then you have to come back 2 weeks later after the bruises have healed and say that you didn't punch them in the face. The photographs were faked in photoshop. You didn't make him see stars, he was looking up at night. There is no bruise.
This will make Wired's 2003 vaporware award. But we won't care cause we'll be using Evolution, Aethera and Kroupware.
Dude, seriously, return that 'Chasing Amy' video back to the video store.
Slashdot editor looks up word in dictionary.
No, he googled it!
A sequel! The last one had some naked robot action, but in the ssequel, I wan't some hot robot on robot action...like that Bjork video.
huh.. I just like saying Bjork...

Why did this man glue himself to a hammer?
Who would want to tatoo a robot?
No, no. It should be renamed the National Space Wallpaper Archive.
I was scrolling through the list of games and saw Shinobi...does that mean that *ahem* Shinobi's back?
