yeah, we thought the same thing in 2000. Look where it got us. The alternative is not the best choice either. You're problem is not wtih politicians, but with voters.
It's not party you want to change, it's the system. You can put whatever party you want, but all of them need money to run elections. They aren't getting it from you. They got to get it from someone else and they won't give it without something for something.
You seem to completely ignore the other branch of government called Congress who controls the money. When you brought up Benghazi, you lost all credibility with me.
Really? REALLY? I'm sorry, perhaps you need to review how we got into Iraq, started two conflicts by choice at the same time, while having completely unrealistic expectations on how things would go. How many trillions of dollars were spent? What about the sheer millions of dollars given to Iraqi politicians, money larger than what we spend on education or infrastructure that have completely disappeared. Obama has done some stupid shit, but NOTHING compares to what George W. Bush has done in his 8 years as president. The only person who can even compete with Bush is Reagan.
You do remember the last 8 years of Republican presidential rule right? How much money was spent? How much more laws were enabled? How fucked up did our economy get? How much hubris did we generate running around trying to be pretend we know how to be an empire while still try to be all gooey and heroic about it?
I don't remember that at all. You can trace back when that whole Contract with America started and Newt changed the ideology of the Republican party. They win elections now, but they are batshit crazy. They also set up personality cults like our friend Reagan, who would be drummed out of the party today because he's way too moderate.
yes, the the old trope of 'both sides do it'. Jeezus. The scale of the crap that the Republican party does is completely fucked up. In fact, they are more geared towards trying to win elections than actually trying to do any legislation. They are completely bankrupt on ideas. What new ideas have they come up with on economic policy, foreign policy or anything else for that matter? Their ideas is to sell the old 1950s and go back to the good ol days (which wasn't that great)
Lord. Conservatives are idealess, idealogues.:P
Your comment and the parent comment are both completely full of shit.
Columbus knew exactly where he was going and all educated people of Europe already knew the earth was round hundreds of years beforehand.
You seem to have been stuck on some themes that I have not even addressed. I never talked about 'round world' theory. Columbus had no idea he was going to land on the West Indies, he thought he was going to find a faster way to the spice lands. That was his intention, he didn't think he was going to discover any new land. Unless you think they somehow divined that considering only perhaps the Vikings may have found the new world. So to wit, Columbus decided to go a different direction to get to India and ended up discovering the West Indies.
A reasonable complaint. Participation in making it better is way better than just bellyaching. I suggest you file a bug and help shape journalctl to what you think it should be based on your experience. They do need that kind of feedback.
If I thought it would do any good. Needing feedback isn't the same as accepting it.
I have, in a long and evil career, encountered all sorts of development groups. Some were very friendly and open to suggestion. The Commodore Amiga team, Objectweb's JOnAS group. More commonly, there are groups who'll either ignore suggestions, or get outright hostile at the mere thought that anyone could be so uncultured and stupid as to not realize that they'd done everything Exactly Perfect and if there was a problem, it was a personal deficiency on the part of the consumer.
Filing a bug report on such projects is an exercise in futility. The best you can do is make a lot of noise in public spaces and hope that enough other people do too that either some other group feels motivated to find a better solution or that the original group realizes that they're never going to get any love and becomes more accomodating.
Well that is certainly a cynical method of doing it.:-) I prefer to use social engineering and do it that way. It always depends on how you coach the problem if you want people to take it seriously.

Sigh. Way to prove his point. India was already discovered by that point. The idea was to sail the other direction as a better route for spices instead of the Vasca de Gama method or the even more arduous overland method.
It is hard, because changing the font changes drastically how things look in terms of spacing. Mac applications all need to conform to a standard. Especially if they plan on doing new designs around that font that would look odd in the old one. People with older hardware will likely need to stay on the older OSes.

Right, because they anticipate that Republicans will take over the Senate so they need to curry favor.

Great numbers. Not a single source on any of them. If your source is your ass then please state so.

Just think the terror when I type use a hot spot called 'Al-Gebra'
What were the breakages?

That's fine. I'm just letting everyone else know....
I love you.
You must be new here. This is where neckbeards go to whine that it isn't 1997 anymore.
GNOME has already ported, amost ready for day to day usage. You can probably do it with 3.14 depending on which distro.
That's what I was trying to figure out? Who are they shipping it to? Why isn't this a question?
Pfft. In my day, we hid in the grass, sometimes burrowing in the dirt while roving clouds of predatory birds seeked us out for food and we liked it.
He's always been the big vision guy. Luckily he's good at it.

Interesting how you see that happening in GNOME as well. Some of the same observations are applicable to the GNOME project.
Taxes are also used to change behavior with incentives that's also why current tax code is so complicated.
