...but that's like saying that Barack Obama is a "member" of the human species, it doesn't mean anything useful.
Stop doing this.
This is useful, for everyone else who's not a member of the human species. Like it or not, Anonymous is not what you specify, it is just a group of script kiddies for the most part. It is not a collective, it's a group with a pretty big herd of sheeps which are blindly following it. That is, if we're talking about the group. If we're talking about the concept, I agree.
You could kill, abduct, or otherwise maim a Borg crew member, they wouldn't care.
That's not completely correct. The Borg care if you engage against them, because then you've become a threat. As long as you're not a threat or "interesting" target, they don't care. While they don't value the life of individual drones, they care very well if you start killing them.
Their pure size. No matter *what* they release, their pure size will press it into the market and let them make a profit. People can scream "no one will buy Windows 8" all day, that's not the truth. Consumers will buy it *en mass* with new PCs, Laptops and Tablets...yes, I said Tablets, because they'll think "Cool, a full version of Windows on a Tablet! I can run my copy of Photoshop 7 on this!" (see Netbooks and Windows). Businesses will adopt because their IT-people have read in the magazines that it is so awesome. Big business will get it either scrammed down their throat via contract, or the Pointy-Hair-People will decide that it is a good idea.
It will not reach the sales of Windows XP or maybe Windows 7, but at the end of the day, Microsoft will end up with more money and can tell "it sales well".
Being Alpha says *nothing* about the software product. That's just the developer saying "We still have soooooo much stuff we want to do" and says nothing about if it works for the user or not.
Are people really spending that much on a gaming PC? I mean, I've built my PC (4GiB RAM, Core2Duo 2.6GHz) for roughly $ 325 + a $ 125 graphicscard (9600GT with 1GiB) and I was able to play Half-Life 2, Bioshock 2, Crysis, Alice: madness Returns and similar games on High-Settings without problems...
Apparently a bunch of it is outsourced, which in addition to the nature of the work, leads to questions about content privacy, especially when some of the images being reviewed are non-public (e.g. stuff you've sent through Facebook messages).
Not really, Facebook is of course allowed to see it (TOS anyone?) and so are all employees of Facebook...and I'm sure contractors are also held under a NDA/Agreement or something similar. So...nope, no problems there.
Well, if you're worried about the content circling within Facebook I have a simple question...why did you upload it to Facebook then?
I agree. I was actually looking forward to try it on my tablet, as I thought it would be a wonderful fit...then I saw the On-Screen keyboard...and then I tried to get something done as root..."wait...shouldn't the onscreen-keyboard show up with that dialog? Well, I'll just lun...oh, screen disabled, makes sense...uhm....how do I get out of this?".
Now I'm looking forward to try Plasma Active (KDE Tablet UI)...that one looks actually sane.
The big problem with getting user opinions is...if you ask 10 users, you end up with at least 5 opinions how the software should work/look/behave like.
2. All control panel stuff, should be really part of the OS and be not tied to any window manager, but run in all of them.
Whatever-place-of-eternal-pain-you-believe-in NO! Panels and such stuff should be independent applications which can be launched with *any* WM.
It sounds like both Gnome&KDE need to work together to create a new layer thats common to all linux's...
There is only one Linux. What you mean are distributions, which are (basically (yeah, I know)) nothing more but a collection of software.
3. Linux needs to redesign how X + WM + GNU work together. X11 + XCORE(qt+gtk+scriptbased api) + WM on top.
What?... What?... X11 is a windowing system, a WM is a window manger to manage those windows created by X...and GNU is an implementation of UNIX...what?! I think you misunderstand the graphical stack. X11 provides windows, the WM helps you manage those in an effective way (and window decoration) and whatever *draws onto these windows* (GTK, Qt) doesn't matter for the stack underneath it. Making it more like Microsoft Windows (decorations can be drawn over by the window, wtf?) will not make anything better.
As with all shit, people will pretend it's gold. Look at Gnome3. It is so far away from a traditional desktop, and there people which like it. I'm not saying that it is bad, it's just not what many people want.
The same will happen with Windows 8...while many people will take a step backwards, there will be some which go "Look, I can now unlock the login screen when I swipe with my mouse! This is awesome!" - "Yeah...previously I just typed my username..." on us...and you can bet that it will find it's way into the corporations. Actually, I think it will do more damage to everyone else then to Microsoft.
How often have you seen a device that transmits *something* wireless being properly secured when the companies goes "No, we can't give you access to that...because...it is too complex for you to understand!" or "Why should we give you that data?"?
If I get all this "limitless/infinity" stuff correct, then, in theory, in a limitless/infinite universe there would be an infinite number of "flat" solar systems.
...like the MAC mechanism preventing keylog from knowing your administrator password (the UAC prompt has higher IL value), with most GNU/Linux distro any apps can sniff your typed root password.
So, you finally need to type your/root password instead of just clicking a button? Is the default user account now finally not the admin? That would be an improvement.
Shareware IS NOT free/opensource software with donation. Shareware was a dumbed down version of a program which is handed around for free and you need to pay for the real thing.

*: You will be nicely asked to clean your license plate, they won't let you drive off until you've done that, though.
How do you know?
What? They were making up excuses...I though they had dropped that because they figured out that gas needs to be bought anyway.

Oh don't worry, it does not work great on Tablets either...I tried...

I surely hope that the license plate "'; DROP TABLE tracking_data; --" will not pass/being recognized as valid in the system...
Inexpensive? The cheapest I can get as a consumer are € 2.89 in a 10 pack (3.5")...that's roughly a whooping € 200,- per GiB!

You're using Windows with four screens? Are you using a different window manager or some additional software to manage windows?
So, "typographically rich" is the new buzzword, yes?
