Give Lubuntu a try (LXDE plus ubuntu). It uses about 1/4 as much RAM as kubuntu requires, so it's good for old laptops or PCs with 1 gig or less memory.
As for Unity, I don't know how accurate these benchmarks are, but if it uses twice the RAM then it would not fit inside my current laptop. Still I'm willing to give it a try and see how it looks.
Atlantis, Cosmic Ark, and a few other iMagic games Chopper Command, Pitfall 2, and a few other Activision VCS games Zaxxon (arcade) Crystal Castles (arcade) Marble Madness (16/32 bit versions) Space Ace (the Atari ST/Commodore Amiga version) Zelda: Link to the Past Yoshi's Island Final Fantasy 5 and 6 Zelda: Mask of Majora Final Fantasy 9 Banjo Kazooie 1 and 2 Final Fantasy 12
and so on. I'm at work and don't have time to type a complete list but these are the games that stick in my mind as "most beautiful" of their respective generations.
I can already predict the headline in another ~20 years. (see subject). There are trillions of lightbulbs and if you assign all of them a unique address, then you're sure to run out very fast.
My facebook "friends" and I don't like the same things. I like sitting at home playing videogames or watching Free tv or reading Asimov's magazine. Most of them do not.
Most of them like going out, or looking for child-friendly school related activities, or jogging, or other tasks that hold zero attention for me. Even if they recommended a site (via bing) I'd probably not look at it.
Nice idea though. I guess someone will find it useful.
>>>until it reaches the Supreme Court, but it's a vital 1st step.
And when the Court strikes down these fishing expeditions for IPs, the Obama administration will simply direct Congress to pass a law saying that IP addresses can be linked to homeowners and the homeowners prosecuted. That's what happens almost every time the Supreme Court makes a decision Congress or the President doesn't like.
For example when SCOTUS said nude drawings of children are not illegal, Congress just passed a law saying "Yes it is." You are wiser to place your faith in State Nullification - your local legislature simply refuses to enforce laws that are unconstitutional. Plus they have actual power (money and soldiers), where the court does not.
To be a good marketer, you have to believe with 100% conviction what you are saying, at the time you say it. Then the next day or week or month, you believe 100% what you are saying, even if that's the exact opposite of what you said before.
I'm sure this guy will happily say "Google Android sucks" on his last job, and then say, "Google Android rocks" in the present, without any problem whatsoever.
I keep hoping Siffy's Ghost Hunters will find something, but of course they never come-up with anything solid. Oh well. I'll keep fast-forwarding through each episode, just in case they do stumble upon something.
Aside- Of course I would have preferred they canceled GH and kept Stargate Atlantis and Battleplanet Caprica, but whatever. (shrug)
According to the Supreme Court, cops are not allowed to stop *every* car along a highway --- only the ones they suspect of drinking. Of course, cops ignore the SCOTUS rulings (like entering homes without warrants) and just do whatever they want anyhow.
Constitution: I can not lay my hand on a single part of this Legal document that gives the Senate power to censor Apple's applications (or apply pressure to censor). On the contrary the law is clear:
- congress shall not censor speech - non-enumerated rights (like owning ihones with DUI apps) are reserved to the people - Powers not granted to the Union government are reserved to the Member States, or the People, respectiv
>>>you get MBA's and Finance majors getting all the high paying jobs,
Things changed after the second depression hit. They are not finding jobs, and believe me, they aren't laughing anymore about their "drank my way through college" days. I know one guy who went *back* to being a technician because he was laid-off from his high-paying finance job.
Fight back. Rebel. Gum-up the works. And above all: Have a Supreme Law (constitution) that even the most powerful man must be obliged to obey, or else face criminal prosecution, and his acts shall be nullified.
And of course ISPs will start filtering .xxx

Just as they filtered-out Usenet because "it's used to spread porn", and they filter out Spice Channel from their cable services (unless you pay extra). Dang.
I don't like Microsoft. Not since they killed-off my favorite software (WordPerfect, DR-DOS) and companies (Atari,Commodore,Netscape) and other tactics that led to the US and EU suing them.
But I don't like spam either. It fills-up my yahoo inbox with all kinds of shit. I guess overall, Microsoft's killing of the botnet is a good thing. Yay Microsoft. (cough)
Not I. $30/year gets me a full year of qualify fantasy and science fiction (Asimov's) whereas the Times offers nothing that valuable. I can hear the news for free (via google).
I think some people would not only give-up privacy, but also choose Serfdom, if they lived under a beneficent lord or king or dictator. Trading freedom for security & ease-of-life. In fact that's pretty much how Romans lived from 50BC through 500 AD, and it seemed to have worked.
(1) All of these explosions are being seen 'round the world, and the anti-nuclear types (aka environmentalists) will be opposed to building any new plants, thereby derailing Obama and Biden's plans. It might also have negative affects in the EU, blocking their efforts to convert to nuclear.
(2) Japan's one of the world's richest countries (with the second-fastest internet service). I suspect they'll pull out of this just fine.
Just like a Bill Gates or Donald Trump are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, and don't need social security or food stamps.
(1) If this was microsoft that had been collecting SS numbers, WillyWanker would be all for the investigation.
(2) You can refuse a search of your car, because they need to have either a warrant or probable cause (keep your eye on any drug-sniffing dogs, as sometimes officers kick the dog to make them bark). Make sure you lock the doors when you exit the vehicle.
I refused a search in Texas without any longterm negative consequences. The Law of the Constitution supersedes any other law or court ruling.

NICE SARCASM.
(You were being sarcastic right? Every OS gets malware, because no machine is perfect. There are always loopholes to exploit.)
Atlantis, Cosmic Ark, and a few other iMagic games
Chopper Command, Pitfall 2, and a few other Activision VCS games

What's a suitable substitute? Dark chocolate maybe? Blueberries? Maybe coffee that's been sweetened.
I have no representative to speak for me in the foreign legislatures of New York or Connecticut or Massachusetts or California or.....
Therefore I should not be taxed. The only state that can legally or morally tax me is the one that gives me a Representative in its legislature.
I prefer to store my documents in a secure location.
My home.
Therefore I will continue using MS Office 97 and/or LibreOffice.
