    Not my experience. Fresh produce at the front, deli and fresh meat at the back, with the bakery. BWS right at the far end, boring shit in the middle

  8. Re:Crap. on Happy Birthday, Linux! An OS At 24 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Like you, I use Linux professionally as well as at home, as a developer and user of many CAD and development tools. I've deployed it in embedded environments in a number of scientific intsruments. I simply don't recognise your experience. So I guess YMMV, but you need to take some anger management classes or change career.

  12. Re:Privacy Issues? on England To Test "Electric Motorways" · · Score: 1

    The trouble is the courts do nothing when the police catch them. If you don't lock them up, these lawless characters just carry on as before. I suspect the situation would be worse if the cameras wre not there. They are more efficient that a beat bobby checking tax discs.

    And you'll be the first to bitch when an unisured driver totals your car. It was reported in Manchester 1 in 4 cars is uninsured, and often the driver has no licence, is disqualified etc. etc. The cameras are there for good reason.

  16. Re: Supported formats on Ubuntu Phones Now Available Worldwide (On Some Networks) · · Score: 1

    I can't see any evidence to supprot the claim that it's based on Android. http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/de... suggests you can write apps in Qt, so presumably there's no Dalvik, JVM etc: With the arrival of the Ubuntu SDK, apps can be written to work on all Ubuntu form-factors: it’s the same Ubuntu OS on the desktop and on the phone, so a single native application can work on both. Which means you re-use most of the app when you add support for a new form-factor.

  17. Re:Woo on Ubuntu Phones Now Available Worldwide (On Some Networks) · · Score: 2

    Seems to me this could be competition gor Google, Microsoft and Apple, so it's a good thing. I guess it could pave the way for your favorite Linux distro to follow?
