Exactly. I don't even bother to put on my glasses for SD TV. Why would I spend money on a TV with a better picture I can't even see without the glasses I don't want to wear?
You remember things differently than I do. First Quantum made shitty drives, which was bought by Maxtor which made decent drives. Maxtor became shitty, and was bought by Seagate which made decent drives. Then Seagate started making shitty drives, and got bought by Samsung. Following this trend I see no reason to believe Samsung won't become shitty as well.
Justification is needed to resolve the dissonance stemming from gunning down so many enemies.
The only justification you need is that they are not real people. If you give any more thought to massacring civilians in an FPS than you would munching on ghosts in Pac-Man, you may not have a great handle on this whole fantasy vs reality distinction.
Seriously, though, this is an intriguing way of fostering logical/analytical/creative thinking. I wonder if there is any peer reviewed literature on the impact of chess on children?
Yeah, but most of it just says Go would be better.
Sure, but if Wayland gets popular people are going to start writing more Wayland apps, instead of X11 apps. At which point the ability to run an X server doesn't help much.
And now that Pulse Audio does work, Ubuntu is ahead of the rest.
Does it make sense to anyone that Ubuntu has adopted a network transparent audio server but is planning on dropping the network aware graphical server?
You pay a piracy tax on writeable media in Canada. Since this is (supposedly) used to offset piracy, go ahead and download whatever you want. It's already paid for.
Everyone using a modern OS can have virtual desktops of some sort. This makes floating windows useful to everyone.
Think about it, when you use single window applications with multiple windows inside the main window, the application essentially has to reinvent the window manager for those internal windows. Of course, it does so badly. Why not let your window manager do the job it was designed to do?
Besides, Photoshop has floating windows too. I just opened CS2 and count 6 windows. Tell me, what is the major difference between this and this? I just don't see it.

What's the fun in that?
/. style moderation, pseudonymity with a web of trust, and plenty of filtering.
Indeed. The problem isn't Twitter, it's the twits on Twitter.

So then, are we suffering from origin story fatigue fatigue?
Most people are disturbed when watching a movie about severely violent or unjust acts, even when they're entirely fictional.
Yes, most people occasionally have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality.
Its normal. People who can completely disassociate actually have possible social issues.
It's tough being a realist.

Didn't you notice? Greed is the only principle modern society has anymore.

If you want personalization, try Awesome. Write your own environment in Lua.

how exactly do you use more than 250GB in a month?
Rsync.net. Why do you need 100 mbits/second if you're not really going to use it?
Add a browser window, a notepad, and a music player
I'm going to need a virtual desktop for all that anyway.
If you're browsing the web, and you're using IE, you're doing it wrong.
Nobody should have to use any sort of workaround. Code to the spec and it should work. If it doesn't that is the browser vendors fault period.
You phrase the question differently than I would. I would ask why is perl not the default shell language.
Because Perl is huge and sh is tiny. Would you be able to port Perl to BusyBox without dramatically increasing the size of the executable?
Because I've always got two or three shells open anyway. If I'm using Bash all day anyway, why not write my scripts in it?
There are definitely better scripting languages, but I get a lot more Bash practice than I do Perl or Python practice. That's all there is to it.
It is not the CRTC or Canadian Law that stops shows from being available in Canada. It's the regional licensing systems
It is Canadian law that makes licensing systems enforceable. Therefore Canadian law is responsible for broken licensing systems.

The wealthy have killed off the middle class. A strong middle class is what made America great.
There's a growing realization that those who run the US have killed the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Even if they don't, it's a realistic possibility. So to be secure, you have to assume they do.
Ok, then find someone willing to give you a quote to do it.
