Although it would be nice any and every distro would run a certain set of good games (or any other desirable application) it is not needed for success.
The moment a publisher releases this set of games with the message it runs best on distro X many will move to that distro.
And as far as it's open source or possible to reverse engineer many other distro's will soon offer similar capabilities.
Any distro would be nice but is not necessary, the moment a reputable publisher comes out with a competitive set of games (or whatever utility) and points at a certain supported distro that will become the distro of choice for many.
And other distro's can copy the required bits to also appeal to the gamers.
Although I'm generally very weary of British politics I agree with you the British judiciary has more standing and worldly wits than the Swedish or any other Scandinavian judiciary.
Scandinavians have never really felt the need to establish strong laws and maintaining them, the place is just to cosy 'I know you, you know me'.
And thus they would happily send Assange to the US because "they would just like us never do something bad to the man", forgetting that in the US lenient means 'no death penalty' and in Sweden it'd be an advise of 'don't do it again'.
Spain claims jurisdiction over crimes committed to Spanish citizen wherever committed.
The War Crimes Tribunal does not claim worldwide jurisdiction, it has jurisdiction in many places due to signed and ratified international treaties.
So the fact the USofA as so far failed to ratify such a treaty means the tribunal accepts it has no jurisdiction over what US citizen do in the US.
Well written.
I work in the business and all this fracking panic in the US is justified for one simple reason, the US oil companies are not regulated.
So at the same time I say fracking can technically be done in a controlled and responsible way but not with the present US legislation that has grown companies devoid of any moral.
All of Europe has it's utilities underground, when there is a problem making a new hook up it's because your local authority is bureaucratic (and history has shown you can't leave it to the market to properly fill in the holes after the dig).
So like here in The Netherlands a licensed company can dig up most streets without much more than a simple notification.
Besides, most houses are hooked up when build, even when you don't take the service the line is already there, like some 30 years ago our town got cable, it's in my house even though I never took a subscription.
Don't worry about the 75% tax for the rich, that's only marginally above the ~72% tax a regular Dane pays and they have one of the strongest economies and highest living standards in Europe.
I feel for you regarding the shitty service you get.
But you are wrong thinking DSL can't support the services you need.
Like I have a 'Light' (V)DSL contract offering 30/3 speed, I live 850 m. (1/2 mi.) from the exchange and the line would support 42/4.
As with all things DSL it depends on how far from the exchange you are and living even closer you can get a 50/5 contract.
Presently there is discussion to bundle lines, most if not all houses here have two phone lines coming in and that way you can double the speed!
It seems the country you live in does make a difference...
I'm fairly sure during the past few weeks I've seen an article about this subject though it might have been based on an other article.
Or I'm confused with some other site that published it.
Without Android the Nokia version of Linux might have taken off quite well.
There were and are plenty of consumers not endeared to the Apple ways and MS was never a contender.
Considering Nokia stopped official development of their Linux system around the time of their engagement with MS the N900 and N9 are even now still remarkably useful phones.
Take that CEO and let him work for his regular annual pay but without bonus and see what becomes of the company.
I'm convinced he would compared to the regular workers still be able to live a life of luxury.
A good example of how big these fat cat bonuses are, for most workers a month's salary is significant.
And it's a good example to his fellow CEO's but I'm not holding my breath waiting for the next to share his bonus.
In Switzerland the majority of gun crimes involving domestic violence are perpetrated with army ordnance weapons.
The regular abuse of these weapons has in 2007 made the Swiss stop the reservists having ammunition at home.
Because the murder rate using guns in the US is so out of whack with the rest of the Western world it's not really a fair comparison.
That's the advantage of living in a country where software patents protect your intellectual property!
But you could still add medibuntu.org to your list of repositories.
The fact it's possible to get a key for x86 and not at all for ARM is bad enough, it seems you don't want to see MS is the driving force, not the manufacturers or Verisign.

Pfff, why all that trouble when you could just use KDE...

Thanks, good to hear.
That's all.
At the same time I also installed / on it but then found out it is not yet supported during Grub updates.
I'm fairly sure during the past few weeks I've seen an article about this subject though it might have been based on an other article.
Or I'm confused with some other site that published it.
The office suites available sucked. The graphics tools available sucked compared to photoshop.
That's obviously crap, sure we all like to drive a Mercedes S-class but every other modern car will get us safely and reliably to our destination.
For the vast majority of computer users Libre Office and The Gimp are quite adequate.

I am saying you don't need to replace the CEO by a menial worker (and his pay) to make a better life possible for the rank and file.
Take that CEO and let him work for his regular annual pay but without bonus and see what becomes of the company.
I'm convinced he would compared to the regular workers still be able to live a life of luxury.

Send from a much appreciated Thinkpad :)
But can you really handle more info about the people of walmart then what the photo's already tell?

So hopefully my initial complaints about the Win8 secure boot requirements on x86 were not based on the full story.
Remains the ARM bit...
That's the advantage of living in a country where software patents protect your intellectual property!

SecureBoot is not a Microsoft feature
But if you want to manufacture and sell a computer with an OEM version of Win8 it is an MS requirement.
And for proper dual booting you have to get a licence, not because of Verison or the manufacturer but because of MS.
The fact it's possible to get a key for x86 and not at all for ARM is bad enough, it seems you don't want to see MS is the driving force, not the manufacturers or Verisign.
Apple doesn't have a previous conviction on the subject of using it's de-facto monopoly to keep out the competition.
