Sorry but I have to agree, a big part of the support community is like a conglomeration of elitist hackers with a mindset of "linux is for hackers", "linux shouldn't become too user-friendly", "if you can't use it don't try" and "stop noobifying linux". Sad as it is, they are also the ones that propogate the image, that linux is for pros only.
Linux has superior hardware support than does Vista and Win 7.
Since most hardware is available for operating systems with the biggest user-base (Windows and Mac) your statement is simply not true. I could pick any hardware store around, walk in and ask them for linux compatible hardware and most of the time they'll just give me a blank stare or respond with "you simply have to try it out". Why else are there databases on the web of linux-compatible hardware ?
It's a "CD-R" so still clunky, cumbersome for transport of big amounts of data and write-once read-only. Personally I'm sick of CDs and DVDs mainly because the CD and DVD drives still have problems with them (not all DVDs are recognized/can be read) and they represent an era I'd like to leave behind. This may be great for archivists but for normal users it'll be like a step back.
This might come up on TV and if it does lawmakers will pretend to do something about it, just like they've always been doing and suddenly everybody will be fine with no change. Some things will never change.
Since this uses specific js-tech/js-functions, is there a way to block specific js-functions ? e.g block calls to ajax by specific websites, cuz a website could easily mask as something useful but make calls to java functions that could be used for mischief.
The Pirate Party allegedly already has a similar system in place, where any party member can vote on current issues or bring up new ones for discussion. The idea is full disclosure and - I call it - radical democracy, a system which I btw fully support. Outside of the U.S I know it's working pretty well, because there's a different political system.
Please at least post a link to backup that claim. Here's my link showing the education spending by % of GDP. As of today(24.7.2011), the United States are #37. Maybe the annual total of U.S education spending is more, but you also have what ~300M people.
And I think at least Californian students would disagree with your claim that
In closing I would claim spending might not be the only issue for education in the U.S, but it is high up there with the education system being a mess itself. Fear not America ! You are not alone with your crappy educational system !
If Anonymous wants control over their posts, private data, friends-lists, etc. how about just joining diaspaora and helping the development instead of trying to reinvent the wheel ?
I'm feeling compelled to see how far I can get with getting pastafirism or even kopimism recognized as a religion in my country. I hope others are under this compulsion too and this turns into a worldwide thing. That would be quite funny and hopefully an eyeopener to some people:)
I tried that. I forbade AdBrite, Facebook, Google Syndication and many other scripts, yet when I checked Occlusion's graph and my cookies, cookies of those blocked sites existed. After installing Ghostery most of them [cookies] weren't created and Occlusion didn't register them.
Is there a setting in NoScript I'm missing besides the "Forbid x" ?
A additional book filled with stories of the maltreatment of the worshipers will be needed and a prediction that the infidels will fall. Maybe that'll get their attention.
Who are we trying to kid here ? There's no way that's going through.
People already feel like they are being pissed on if somebody even suggests changing the educational modelthat's firstly a ideological issue and secondly a monetary issue. Does anybody seriously think farmers are any better, when the primary issue will be monetary ? Good luck with that.
go on and while you're at it replace science with religion. I would love to see a god-powered car, computer, house, town, state and economy. Meanwhile I'll laugh at your backward asses.
Isn't it obvious that companies, that make money exploiting people and ignoring their privacy, are against this bill ? They will be able to "convince" politicians not to pass the bill. Money does equal power after all.
Look, if it was really possible to power a car with water (or even get the infamous "100 MPG" you hear about occasionally) the auto companies would do it.
I think you're mistaking the auto companies with trustworthy companies - oh wait that's right. There are no trustworthy companies. They will squeeze as much revenue out of the current market and move on.

The judge doesn't have one.
The whole point was trying to make is vendors write drivers for windows first, therefore it is logical that windows supports more hardware than linux.

Was about to post a similar statement, but you nailed it :)

Spending is NOT the issue.
after the major budget cuts.

Exactly ! It's about time that money's spent better, say in education

I fully support this and have saved this quote !

Doesn't block cookies afaik and collusion showed me that pretty well.

destroying god's work. One step @ a time ^^
Same opinion here. Related to GeoHotz or not they completely deserve it. I'ld love to see Sony fall.

Never underestimate human greed (or stupidity).
science actually helps while theists claim it was prayer that helped people.
