Maybe a slashdotter without a Facebook account is practicing his mass murder skills on deleting stuff off the internet before moving on to deleting people! *gasp!*
So because I refuse to submit to Facebook's non-friendly terms of agreement, I'll now be suspected of being a terrorist or something? Sounds like the same logic used to prove global warming is caused by the falling population of pirates.
Fact is... on Unity or Cinnamon or KDE, I can just switch to a new windows with one step -- move my mouse over to the window & click to bring the focus to it. On Gnome 3, I have to move my mouse up to the top left corner and click on a word, then move my mouse back down to click on the window I want to do something in. That's a convoluted way to just go to another window. It's akin to go to the bathroom by walking in the opposite direction, and touching the wall, then walking over to the bathroom. How could that be a better workflow than just going straight from point A to point B? And this is just the simplest of annoyances about Gnome 3's insanity. The basic stuff should never be a process to do.
My keyboard or my brain wasn't entirely up to the task of typing when I typed.:-P Sorry. Anyway, basically I was trying to say that I don't think Unity can be installed on Mint. If that's the case, then it might be useful to expose users to Ubuntu, since it would give new Linux users a way to explore more options than they'd have on Mint. I just looked it up though, and it turns out that it can be installed on Mint so my point was moot. So that probably means my brain wasn't up to the task of typing when I commented earlier. BTW, I've also heard hoards are leaving Ubuntu, but I've also heard that is not what the stats really say -- http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/stats-show-ubuntu-not-losing-ground-to-linux-mint
Maybe not the next best choice. I've installed the Cinnamon desktop environment on my Ubuntu 12.04, which gives the Mint OS's look but keeps all the benefits of the Ubuntu community, 'cause it actually is Ubuntu and not just Ubuntu based. This also allows someone to try Unity, and any other desktop environments installed on the system. I don't know 100% for certain, but I think you can't install Unity on Mint? Even if you can... why do Mint, which an altered Ubuntu, if you can just do Ubuntu & still get the Mint UI that someone might like?
This reminds me of April 1st. I highly doubt anyone using malware to slow down or halt the Iranians nuclear efforts, would do it in a way that makes them clearly realize they're infected with something. That's more of a newbie prank or a troll ("unverified email" should keep this story from being news), than a real attempt to stop anything. The whole reason Stuxnext & Duqu were so successful is because of their ninja-like quietness in the systems.
The link shows the browser stats ONLY for visitors to w3schools.com, which is notoriously skewed away from IE due to it being a techy site for people who tend to use other browsers 'cause they're web developers who use a variety of browsers. This is not news by any standard. Even the text below the chart says "W3Schools is a website for people with an interest for web technologies. These people are more interested in using alternative browsers than the average user." & "These facts indicate that the browser figures above are not 100% realistic. Other web sites have statistics showing that Internet Explorer is a more popular browser."
That makes sense. I didn't notice how it related or didn't relate to the direct parent. I'll have to keep an eye out for that in the future, thanks. I just noticed that it was directly related to the article & made some good points, so I didn't think of it as offtopic.
That makes me wonder how many Delawarians are going to find a new career... the kind where they work for an out-of-state entity, placing bets or making moves in casino gaming. Does the state have a way to verify that isn't happening? The money could flow into a Delaware resident's bank account, and then be moved to anyone else on the planet as "payment for services rendered". Too easy to get past that limitation, which means a ton of people will be trying it... and most of them will pull it off.
Is this modded -1 & "offtopic" because the 1st word is "Python"?!? C'mon mods, at least read the first sentence before spending your mod points. This guy spells out exactly why I got into PHP. It was 1999, and I was struggling for months to write some good PERL scripts. Once I switched to a webhost with PHP, I made things work in less than a month. That's what's RIGHT about PHP for websites. That's why nobody really fixes it even though everybody complains "it's broken".... which is a ridiculous concept, since it gets things done quickly when you have little skills. So PHP should really be talked called "the gateway drug" to more hardcore coding, 'cause that's what it is for most people. If you expect it to be as awesome as Python, C, PERL, Ruby, etc, then you're totally misunderstanding PHP and yes -- you'll see it as broken.
Shouldn't this be a DMCA violation? After all, it's circumventing the technology of a business's copyrighted stuff (DVR FFWD function), and that's illegal according to the DMCA. Tsk tsk tsk TW.
She's trollin' you bro, there's just no way somebody isn't a Star Trek fan. Well, Penny isn't, and that severely annoys Sheldon, but they're fictional. It's funny because there's just no way somebody wouldn't be a fan. Am I right?
So let me get this straight.... a person pays for a DVD, makes a copy & uploads it to their Megaupload account. Then Hollywood's government seizes the legally bought property because the person made it available online. Then Hollywood's gov't says the uploader who originally bought the movie, needs to buy it back if they want it. Hmm? Am I missing something? That sounds a lot like....
I tried Gnome 3, hated it. it's far too interruptive to my workflow, mainly due to forcing me off my focus just to switch windows & apps and stuff. I'd use the word convoluted to describe it. Cinnamon & Xfce are alright, but they didn't blow me away or make me feel there was any reason to log off Unity to use them. I also haven't heard about any. That being the case, I figure KDE probably isn't going to offer me any real benefits that I don't already get in Unity either. So I've never installed KDE. Although, I prefer a few KDE apps, which run fine in Unity.... like Kdenlive & K3b.
I wish somebody would/could organize a massive switch to Linux or a *bsd (including Mac). That might send a message to Redmond? I don't know how somebody would organize something like that though. I'm not good at that kind of thing. I switched for good, last summer.
If this turns out to be true or not, I think the fact the US military is having its secrets "made in China" while the US is actively trying to convince its populous that they're under cyber attacks, really contradicts itself but should at least raise some good questions in public & congress.

LOL maybe I should check it out again.

On USB sticks???? What are they doing on USB sticks?!?!? Whoever put that on there, should be fired immediately, no questions asked.
See, that's why everybody buys Microsoft products... it's all about the big boobs.
I wish a Nokia costed just $49 and nothing more.

As long as it's found, then I don't care where they found it. Get over yourself Texas.

I don't live in Utah, but "A lot of the problem we have out here is a lack of common sense.", sums up most of the world from my point of view.

That idea would probably work like a charm. Brilliant!

Get 'em labeled as robot sexual predators! Yeah. After all, they were arrested for spreading a robotic sexually transmitted disease, right?
