Wikipedia tries to publish the objective truth about stuff. That creates a few problems: A lot of advertisers won't like what's up there. They will either threaten to pull the ads unless the content matched their view of the world or they will just edit it themselves. This is the same mechanism that keeps the news pro status quo. In the end Wikipedia will only serve ads of horny cougars in my hometown on the side of articles about the amazing powers of c14lis and easy million$ in Nigeria.
Craig: Was there ever a moment, when you guys first came up with the genius plan to become a Peruvian flute band, that any of you said "Hey, you know? This plan might backfire."... No. That never occurred to you. Because you guys are jerks. You never learn from your mistakes. And that's why everyone at school thinks you're assholes. Kyle: That's not true! Kids at school like us. Don't they? Stan: Yeah dude. The kids at school totally like us. Craig's just being a dick because we're having a tough time right now. Craig: I'm being a dick? Stan: Yes! Craig: You guys took my birthday money, got me arrested, sent to Miami with no way home except to take down the country of Peru - and I'm being a dick? Cartman: There's no talkin' to this guy!
I can live with my data on the cloud, I am online 95% of the time anyway. It is harder to cope with an application that is not there when you are offline. But for the love of god, somebody please enforce some human interface guidlines on the cloud!
Microsoft never just names anything (whether descriptive or not). Remember what the PHB said: "the name is the most important part of the project". This particular name is meant to tell the average user that she should not really try to understand what it is, but she definitely needs it.
Im sure the problem is RMS wants to get the Hurd right from the beginning. But you never really can plan for everithing on a nontrivial case. Gotta have your child grow by herself or she will go fubar on you.
The rats are fleeing the sinking ship. But seriously, with all that rebranding and repositioning going on, you just know that KDE^H^HSC is not a viable anything anymore. What used to be the best desktop seems now to be just the best Powerpoint presentation.
Sadly I have to agree with parent. Kde 4, Vista, Amarok 2 and Winamp 3 all share the same quality of having taken the wrong turn - a half-baked and pressed update to something that was working mostly fine. Torn apart and given love in all the wrong places.
I have been a Kde user for years, and it kills me to say this, but Kde 3 used to be the poweruser's desktop and Kde 4 seems to be the idle programmer's paper towels.
> stupid layout of the Del/Insert/PgUp etc. buttons
The Logitech Wave Comfort 450, which is an earlier model, has a better layout there, but it also has less extra keys and the caps/whatnot leds are hard to see. At this moment I am pretty sure the Heisenberg uncertainty principle somehow makes it impossible to create the perfect keyboard. Or maybe it's just the PHB stepping in and adding his 'input' to the finished keyboard.
Slashdot Mirror
And that would be the .38 special
Stop with that black and white view of the world!
It was outsourced, which is basically the same as automation.
There also was some news about a monkey with three asses...
Something about a Clockwork Orange. Did that enforcement real good...
Suing your own customers is soo 2010.

Patent by surprise!
Looks like someone stapled a couple of gift bags to a pair of pajama pants. Back to the drawing board!
A number like 57 just screams out loud 'that's all i've got'. And here's my 12 bucks for the stripper.
And now everybody go watch 'Brazil' again.

might it be that 'safe to leave' means 'go away'?
