it's like McDonald's food. nobody finds it delicious but nobody is completely repulsed by it either. if push comes to shove (e.g. you're hungry and in a hurry), a big mac will eventually cross your mind. it's just hard to be enthusiastic about it. (maybe this is different in the US, but here in Europe, only children look forward to going to McDonalds)
my only real gripe with unity is its file manager. i want to be able to see/edit the location line and have an UP arrow between the BACK and FORWARD ones.

this used to be my opinion until i learned that the cigarette tax in UK brings in so much money it can more than cover the cost of the necessary healthcare for smokers. alcohol is taxed similarly.
as long as you don't dress like a gangsta, walk with the "pimp limp" and aks tings with a grammar of a 4 year old, NOBODY is going to throw obstacles under your feet.
no, a sieve won't be a problem because they're note deploying a sieve. RTFA! the barrier is not a net and it extends only a few metres below the surface.
i went the other way. after years of struggling with compatibility of printer/scanner drivers for linux (canon, epson, kodak, samsung, xerox), reduced feature sets (on linux) and fiddling with drying ink cartridges, i bought a semi-expensive HP LaserJet and never looked back. the thing is like a tank.
* works over network, INCLUDING scanning * under linux, it supports everything to the same extent as it does under windows AND some features are even better * i can print from anywhere in the world by just emailing the document to HP * if i don't print anything for 2 months, i don't have to deal with dried ink cartridges * when there was a bug in the driver (binary blob was incompatible with the open driver shipped with ubuntu), i emailed HP and within 2 days they updated the blob the driver downloads
i have 50 euro in my pocket with physical button dongle written on it. isn't that the apple way? at this rate, iphone 8 will be half duplex. you'll either connect the microphone or speaker dongle.
he's better off not pardoned (yet). right now, if he returns pardoned, some yank nutcase with " 'mah rifle, 'mah deeemocracy and 'mah obligiateon to do what's riiight" will put a bullet in his head and feel he's doing everybody a service.
who shat in your porridge today? i have a 5 year old galaxy s2 with cyanogenmod and i'm on my 3rd battery. however, I have colleagues and friends and they DO replace phones every time battery starts losing its capacity. simply because it isn't user replaceable, they're not gonna fiddle with screwdrivers to replace it, and the only replacement battery you can buy is a cheap chinese knock-off on ebay. samsung/motorola/etc do NOT sell original batteries for these phones and they don't let you ask the official repair centre to replace it even if you pay them.
Boy it sure would be nice if the battery were user replaceable, right Samsung?
They really deserve this fiasco. So does Apple and any other manufacturer that ditched replaceable batteries just to force users to upgrade phones after 2 years.
i consider sahara to be 'wilderness' and it is expanding. in a few decades, the whole of central africa will be 'wilderness'. so as far as statistics go, we'll be fine.
i can tell the difference between 128 Kbps and 320 Kbps mp3 (often even 192 and 320). i cannot tell the difference between 320 Kbps mp3 and FLAC even on high quality speakers. when i blindtested this with other people, nobody could tell the difference between FLAC and 320 Kbps mp3. this is on very expensive speakers and amplifier i bought from a recording studio that closed down. you will never convince me you can tell the difference while wearing tiny plastic earplugs assembled by sleep deprived suicidal foxconn child labour.

if they are unwilling to make a phone with user replaceable battery, serves them right. this could have been so much cheaper for them.

everybody knows files are stored on the desktop, not NAS.
in my experience, a 1 Mbps cap (per workstation) would increase productivity 100 fold.
