The nice thing about light weight GUIs is that it's a lot easier to tune and fix than a giant stack of software is. Saving memory isn't the only reason to use Fluxbox, etc. Once you settle on a good configuration (which doesn't take that much time), you never have to worry about the choices your distro will make in the future. It's much nicer to sit down and figure out your GUI once, than to relearn every time they release a new version.
That's not terribly informative. What part of GNOME is the interface? The window manager? The desktop? The panel? All of that? One might as well ask what part of GNOME isn't Gnome Shell.
It's not known with certainty which component of the binary system the planet is in orbit around at this point as both stars in HD 176051B are relatively Sol-sized (1.07 and.71 solar masses).
Orbits do not work that way. The planet is orbiting around the center of gravity of the binary star/planet system. Since this is a binary star, this very well might be a point in empty space.
For example, easy collaboration, and no installation or upgrade procedure for the user.
There's no reason a native app should be any less capable of networking than a web app. Installation is trivial
There's even a security benefit: if a user wants to play some silly game, it's much safer to run that in a browser than it is for them to download and install something potentially dodgy.
There is no security benefit. The browser is not a sandbox. Putting all this capability into javascript increases the attack surface, and conditions people to just run whatever crap they find on the internet.
The only real reason web apps have any traction at all is that it's easier to deliver advertising with them.
There's no shortage of food and water. Only distribution problems. Famines are 100% political problems. IP addresses are different, even if we solved the distribution problems there would not be enough for everyone.
Fair enough. But then we need something that is. Documenting every stupid piece of trivia that exists is a useful goal. The problem for Wikipedia is that the set of all facts is a superset of the set of notable facts. So if we got some other group together to create an electronic encyclopedia without the concept of notability, it would completely supersede Wikipedia.
In short, the notability policy will ensure Wikipedia's obsolescence if its not changed.
If it's notable enough that someone would search for it on Wikipedia, it's notable enough to have an entry in Wikipedia. The entire concept of notability for an electronic encyclopedia is bogus, and representative of the culture of Wikipedia these days.
Chances are Google didn't even know what was in the packets until the States started getting nosy. Just because they dumped broadcasted packets to disk doesn't mean anyone looked at it.
A Windows box is a lot more likely to get infected than a Linux box is likely to get rooted. And there's no reason a virus can't use a VM image as a vector, so to be safe you have to assume it is. Security and stability are two of the biggest reasons to run Linux, using Windows as a host negates that.
I'd easily kill one hundred to save my own kid. Color me weird, but there it is.
Its not weird, and most feel the same way.
It may not be weird, but it's definitely irrational and morally wrong. Something happens to people when they become parents, even seemingly good people turn into sociopaths. Except that instead of putting their own interests above everyone elses, they put their child's perceived interests above everyone else.
What's even worse is that they're not even rational about what that is. Where a sociopath will coldly calculate the actions that will maximize his self-interest, parents are insane with fear and it's trivial to manipulate them into acts of great evil. Just think of the children! And there are millions of these dangerous creatures around. Absolutely terrifying.
Look at India and Pakistan. Two countries at each other's throats for decades after they gained their independence, yet the moment the two got nuclear weapons, suddenly hostilities ceased.
VirtualBox is a lot easier to.... move images between machines
Really? How do you do this? Virtualbox keeps its machine data in a separate directory from the hard disk file. In my experience moving VMs between instances of Virtualbox is a nightmare of manually editing the paths in the config file before importing. It can be done, but it's a pain in the ass.
What VirtualBox really needs is to keep the machine into a single file. Then you could just drop the file on a USB key and run 'Virtualbox MyVirtualMachine.vm' on any machine and it would just work. Until you can run a new machine with a single command line, without importing/exporting anything, I wouldn't say that it's easy to move images between machines.
I've got nice big hands, and the PSX controller sucks. I liked it at first, but the more I use it the more it cramps my hands. It's essentially an SNES controller with handles hanging off. But the handles mean I can't rest the controller on my fingers like I used to, I have to grasp the handles. I've tried not grasping the handles, it requires sustained concentration, not natural at all. Problem is, the handles on the PSX controller are thin and straight. So I end up really curling my fingers around it, cramps right up.
The Logitech Dual-Action, now there's a nice controller. See the nice big grips, those fill up all the space in my palms. I can play forever with that thing. It has an actual d-pad too. It's superior to the PSX controller in every way but one, the square holes around the analog sticks. I mean, wtf.
saying the playstation controller is worse than a controller that had not one, not two, but three different ways of holding it, depending on which buttons you wanted to use, is just stupid.
And none of those ways to hold the N64 cramp my hands as bad as the only way to hold a PSX controller.
Sorry, this thing requires a boot disc. I guess they are working on firmware for the dreamcast that could boot directly from the SD card, but that's going to require opening up your machine.

Think image processing, online mini-games, and no doubt hundreds of more imaginative uses.
All of which would be better done with a native app.
The same thing has happened to floppy disks and VHS.
There's no shortage of food and water. Only distribution problems. Famines are 100% political problems. IP addresses are different, even if we solved the distribution problems there would not be enough for everyone.
Can you honestly say it's any worse than the shit they actually try to pass off as worthwhile in English class? Moby Dick? The Scarlet Letter?

I don't give my parents the implicit right to risk my life in an attempt to save someone else.
When you get in a car you give the driver the implicit right to make life and death decisions involving you and everyone else on the road.
If it's notable enough that someone would search for it on Wikipedia, it's notable enough to have an entry in Wikipedia. The entire concept of notability for an electronic encyclopedia is bogus, and representative of the culture of Wikipedia these days.
Seems like the general perception of the Wikipedia community is anything but productive and civil. More like insular and deletionist.

It's always easier to look smart, than to actually be smart. Smart people see that the world is complex, and know they don't have all the answers.
Look at India and Pakistan. Two countries at each other's throats for decades after they gained their independence, yet the moment the two got nuclear weapons, suddenly hostilities ceased.
You're kidding, right?
There are more people on Earth than there are IPv4 addresses. There is a true shortage, whether companies are sitting on address blocks or not.
What happens when the Windows host gets a virus?

There's Digimon Rumble Arena.

What you want is the percentage of total income in the top 10%, not percentage of total assets.
Why would I want that?
