And I didn't really mind Pulse Audio, per application volume was a big pro for me, and maybe it wasn't because of pulse audio, but they came about at the same time.
there were IO scheduler (allegedly) issues that caused lock-ups of my interface, and it never really got better from their.
I really liked the over-all gnome 2 interface, I liked the "ugly" colors of Ubuntu, and finally felt a Linux Desktop was a nice smooth interface, with Compiz giving it a nice smooth windows moving over windows, slight flourishes (gentle wobble on the windows really made dragging them feel nicer, a good minimize and maximize animation, etc) that made it all just feel connected and smooth.
Once Windows 7 came with it's mouse-over preview taskbar, and edge snapping, the ideal way to manage windows was no longer Linux for me, and it was relegated to when I needed it specifically.
I'd get typical network added onto my service for free (technically $5 less, but I told them I was canceling if they sent me the damned box and remote that I had to keep track of and would literally never unbox because it wasn't worth the HDMI port or hitting the input button on my TV).
For example (an extreme case, but to be illustrative) if all economic activity was taxed at 75% in the US, but there was a universal income of 20k/individual that was untaxed, people spending 80k or less would effectively have negative taxes, but it would look like they were the most taxed people in the world.
It has an 8000 mile range, so it's likely used on flights that are 500-1000, probably one way a day (typical airtime for a long haul plane is 15 hours, probably 1.5 or so flights, so we're going to use one, which allows for 30% non use).
So using those numbers, it's 1/3 the price.
Fuel is a big chunk of ticket price too.
Running an airline is expensive, and the plane cost isnt all of it by far.
The 787 is designed for lower operating costs, so it could actually be cheaper in the long run to buy it and replace something less efficient.
I'd buy a used Leaf as a daily driver if my insurance company wouldn't charge me ridiculous.
I doubt I'd save money, but never going to the gas station would be a worthy perk IMO.
Figure $8,500, -> $4,000 value in 4 years = $100/month.
Insuring it effectively doubles the price, but I'd save $50 or so/month in gas, and never need to fill the tank, I could still use my Truck when needed and for longer trips. If it was a two car household, the Leaf would be a no brainer for a second car.
I hated unity because at the least early version was terrible with common sense mistakes.
The biggest was that a maximized window had the close button on the top left corner of the screen.
The launcher button was top left but 20 or so px down.
A slight overshoot lead to closing the window you were working on.
It is common sense to not put those things so close.
It's also common sense to put the launcher in a corner
Third, if using a unified interface, it's common sense for the launcher to be on the bottom edge.
It was like they went out of their way to design a broken interface to show students why these things aren't just things you're told, but why it's important.
Also, it lead to them killing off developement of windincators, which I was pretty excited for.
I'd probably have them send via UDP (I'm assuming it's the type of stuff where a few missed numbers makes no difference), and completely incapable of receiving anything on that NIC)
She said all her coworkers that upgraded before her (they wanted until a phone was lost or broken to upgrade) commented that the Samsungs and iPhones do not do as well with their terms of art (they learn them, but don't suggest them as often).
Yes, and if the idea is the egg hatched into a bird (their logo), clearly the egg is either gender neutral, or if it's hatching the twitter bird male (based on coloring).
I'd argue gender neutral though, as it was the egg hatching into the user as they mature.

You missed Upstart

Linux as my primary desktop died in '08.

Even that usage is as a thin client at worse.
I can view and play local files, that's more than a dumb terminal.
Tax Refund, and a Bonus.
And a 3rd pay period is pretty much exactly 50%
Those are expenses, not income.
2 of the spikes are likely 3 paycheck months.
then maybe 1 for taxes, and maybe a bonus.
note: I didn't read the article, but that's 4 spikes that I'd expect are not so uncommon right there.
Only save that much if you scrap internet too.

That's valid.
The perks of taxes are relevant too.
For example (an extreme case, but to be illustrative) if all economic activity was taxed at 75% in the US, but there was a universal income of 20k/individual that was untaxed, people spending 80k or less would effectively have negative taxes, but it would look like they were the most taxed people in the world.
Yes, that has flaws too, but most business taxes are paid by consumers too (any without massive profits are effectively passing them along).
Adding it all together, US is still third from the bottom
http://ctj.org/ctjreports/2013...
Except NZ has more total Taxes, measuring them this way is weird, they really should be measured as % GDP.
NZ is about average for the OECD, US is still third from the bottom at 25%, but behind Mexico and Chile, not NZ and Chile.
15% GST is a lot of extra taxing not captured.
If you pay for a higher flight class (even preferred coach usually) you get both, super refundable tickets, AND no bumps.
So there is an option for you.
That's $200/seat.

Citi does 1% on purchase then 1% on payment, so if you don't carry a balance, it's effectively 2% back, as cash (well as payment, but close enough).
I actually think that's true in both cases too, you win car analogy in my book
It's more like Ford saying, but the new fords, you'll save 28% in operating costs. Less maintenance, less fuel.
At least that's how I read the summary, they're comparing to windows 7/8
I hated unity because at the least early version was terrible with common sense mistakes.

I'm trying to figure out by what metric the economy has been going downhill since 1890.
You lost me there, and I'm trying to understand.
Funny you should mention the typing.

I'd argue gender neutral though, as it was the egg hatching into the user as they mature.
You're arguing that people have had consistently less since 1890?
Eggs are female?
