There isn't anything wrong with making the default configuration simpler and/or prettier. But you can't remove things and not let the user configure it back.
Usually, sheer inertia will drive the majority your way, specially if anyone can correct a few pet configuration options.
If you say "my way or the highway", guess what, many will hit the highway in search of a better environment.
Nvidia still dosent get it.. Reminds me of now famous Torvalds quote from video where he send hes regards to Nvidia..
What doesn't it get that the quote from Linus reminds you of? That Linux developers are unprofessional? I think it gets that very well.
Nvidia still doesn't get that removing a feature, from the linux driver, to level it with the one for an inferior product is a big "f_ck you" to their linux costumers.
If that is being professional I think that calling " Linux developers are unprofessional" is praising them.
I read the link and thought it pretty amusing, both the content and to equate it to what I am asking.
1) I am not saying it is the end of the world, I am just asking what it will cost. It's going to cost billions/trillions- I think I have a right to know.
I think it would not cost you very much. For come corporations it would be very costly, so they fight against the science with their "science" (see the long fight waged by the tobacco industry). For other companies it would bee a boom, unfortunately they are small right now and without the lobbying power.
2) They basically admit that there is no assurance kyoto will work.
Yes. It should be a start into a more sustainable world. If the first step is the only step, it will not be sufficient to finish the travel.
1.) What is the societal cost of cutting energy usage. How much does this cost in comparison to warming.
2.) Explain how using less carbonaceous fuel here will prevent it from being burned there.
Please invent some psychobabble to explain common sense.
What's the point of the universe if there is nothing to appreciate it?
Now, that's anthropocentric. The Universe managed quite well for aeons before we dropped in and it'll continue to do so long after we're extinct. We're not the raison d'etre (despite many of us being convinced we are).
Sorry, those are the words of dying breed. A new, ferocious breed/civilization/race will replace you and those like you and your words will be forgotten or used as a cautionary tale...
I'm not even saying that it is good or bad, that is how the Universe manages itself.
There is a difference between being a liar and aggressively lying.
Its a shame that you don't seem to understand that.
I fear that you did not understand my post. I was saying that when someone says"politicians lie" it is not helpful because it does not take into account the size, frequency and importance of the lies being said.
I think you mean:
"Listen, Goldman Sachs gave you a choice between Goldman Sachs and Goldman Sachs in the last election, so you can't complain that the government is raping your future!"
Well, It is true that is "Hard to know whom to believe" if you can choose the graphics and facts to support your "gut feeling".

No.. Third party votes do count. When the Republicans and Democrats are working together to divide the people in half as evenly as possible, and only winning by small margins, a small-margin of third-party votes has a huge effect.
The only problem is that "huge effect" is, usually, negative for the interests they represent. They "steal" votes from the candidate that is near to their interests making the other win. So, you have a real disincentive to promote a third party.
You do realize the metric equivalent ot MPG is... L/100km! Which is just a minor variation on GPM.
Sorry, while the rest of your post is correct, the metric equivalent of MPG (or better Miles/Gallon) would be Meters/Liter (distance/volume). L/100km (Volume/Distance), which is used in Europe is the "inverse" of MPG.

A CNC machine? That's olden-days talk for a 3D printer, right?
Well... Almost.
The mentioned CNC machine uses subtractive logic while the 3D printer uses additive logic.
What do you mean "The Matrix (1)"? Did they make other ones?
No. Obligatory XKCD, last strip

And there's never been a major accident with hydro power. (shamelessly reposted from another comment)
And how many years after were the affected lands suitable to human living?
We have to take all threats seriously [...]
Of course you have to but no, an app is not a threat.
Of course not. I think that what got him in trouble was "... unwisely posted a video of it on YouTube".
The video alone, without the app, could be seen as a threat.
Of course, after some some clarification, things should not have escalated as they did.
GNU the operating system, not GNU the public license...
Just an extra detail: the G in GPL means "GENERAL" as in GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE.

You are in stages 5b and 5c on global warming denial: the most common skeptical arguments on global warming

Sorry, you're falling flat on your face for this one. Here's why:
When I ask the question, "How do change the screen resolution?" Windows: Control Panel
OK! I don't know where to click!
Just give me the directions to do it in:
* Windows XP
* Windows Vista
* Windows 7
* or perhaps Windows 8 (all variants)
I think that "It depends" would be a lot more honest answer.
I think it was The Who who popularized that style. Not exactly Heavy Metal...
At least for a few milliseconds... Before they are also hanged.
Sometimes they are even useful...
Aw come on......have a heart.
I bet that's exactly what the victims were telling to the priests even as they were lying on the altar.
And then they took the offer... literally!
It is always nice to hear a few uplifting stories like that. Proves that some people can improve themselves.

A paradox, once in a while, makes your mind happy!
Absolute statements like this are true and meaningless.
You should not equate everyone using statements like those.
I think you mean: "Listen, Goldman Sachs gave you a choice between Goldman Sachs and Goldman Sachs in the last election, so you can't complain that the government is raping your future!"

Charles de Gaulle said it best: "The grave is full of irreplaceable men."
So he confirmed that there are irreplaceable men but, unfortunately, they are also mortal.
I find interesting how a subject can be just overlooked by being discreetly "forgotten"...
