Well, I could always go back to sunview I guess. But getting the gui out of the kernel was a pretty good idea in the 1980's.
Nothing is holding x.org back, except that it already has the functionality that is needed since before the current programmers were able to fill their diapers.
I'm afraid it isn't going to work. This idea is essentially the 'Verelendung' that Marx was predicting. In practice, there appears to be no limit to the abuse that people will put up with.

Well. he seemed to think we might, as Einstein himself said:
( http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein )
By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English! (To The Times (London), November 28, 1919, quoted in The New Quotable Einstein by Alice Calaprice, 2005, ISBN 0-691-12075-7)
Dead zones are probably not caused by CO2. But I also don't understand your paradox: Photosynthesis can only occur in the top of the water column where the excess oxygen escapes into the atmosphere (oxygen solubility in water is quite low), while 'dead zones' are always confined to poorly mixed deep water. How is this zooplankton going to get hold of both the O2 and the nutrients?
You think the universe would be even remotely interesting without at least one really evil species? We could be the Vogons of the galaxy. I'd like the shouting part.
And after CO2 levels have decreased, there may be mass extinctions. Perhaps mass extinction is the preferred process to upgrade the biopshere to cope with new conditions?
Yes, they are obliged to store non-anonymized data for a maximum period of 18 months, but that crappy legislation only got passed with the explicit provision that it may only be used for specific police inquiries. The telephone companies are certainly not allowed to do their own data-mining or to hand over that data to varios research groups. In fact, if that has happened here, we may yet see the whole data-retention farce being reversed. O yeah, period to you too.
Well, obviously the people at Microsoft Corporate thought that 'using your brain' was a completely novel and non-obvious idea worth being protected commercially. Says it all really.
The (putative) sanity of the EU is not really the issue. It appears that the provider and the researchers have violated the EU legislation, and especially "Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_95/46/EC_on_the_protection_of_personal_data ).
For instance with respect to this article:
Personal data are defined as "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person..."
I'm not sure 'anonymizing after billing' as the authors did is sufficient to make the data non-personal (the gist of the article is after all that you can be identified by your stereotypical movements...)
Data may be processed only under the following circumstances (art. 7):
* when the data subject has given his consent
* when the processing is necessary for the performance of or the entering into a contract
* when processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation
* when processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject
* processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller or in a third party to whom the data are disclosed
* processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by the third party or parties to whom the data are disclosed, except where such interests are overridden by the interests for fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject
It's not so hard, let me explain: spherical numerical analysis techniques: That is standard maths; If you need to compute something involving for instance a cow, you start with "Assume a spherical cow with radius R". advanced quantum distribution array matrices: That just your normal quantum distribution array matrices but with the new icons and toolbar.

But, surely the writers of the malware are also partly to blame.
Oh, wait...

The sieve was probably not tested at martian gravity or they would have fitted one of these:

This is ./. That means that TFA is an empty placeholder or, at best, pointing to a vapid bit of text between ads.
In this case however, a few levels down it appears that the science behind the journalism is decent enough, for instance:

None of those conditions seem to be met...
Great. So now somebody has an incentive to cut off my fingers.
Better still:
Now the thief of your luggage has more use for your dead body than for you alive.
The poor MSerables are so used to being laughed at around here we don't even have to press submit anymore to make them feel it.
Yes that should be

You just spoilt the most uninformed thread of the day.
It has beeing leaning for almost a 1000 years already. Giving it another 30% extra after a major update isn't that spectacular.

I envy you; You still have a known-space story to read (Flatlander).
Oh wait, or perhaps I don't, because you suffer from amnesia...
No problem: I already did a ls -lR and there is a lot less on the web than you think.
Especially if the message is posted by asynchronous13; for all we now he posted it tomorrow ...
Oh, did I tell you it's waterproof, shockproof and crush resistant, too?
Ok, I'll take up your challenge; hand over your Panasonic CF-M34 now.
Perhaps the widget is actually correct?

You redefine 'real work'.
