While this is mostly a subjective matter, Debian's apt/dpkg is pretty archaic..debs are nothing but glorified tarballs which get unpacked when installing, (therefore have to be created with fakeroot(1)) to name a random point at which it is inferior to a semi-decent system like Portage you can't use it to install packages from source (unless you use 10 debianisms to build a package beforehands). Searching for something with apt-cache is a joke.

No. Last time i had the pleasure, the maintainer in question didn't reply for 4 months, finally apologizing for not replying and (redundantly) suggesting i follow up with a patch (which i did 3 months ago, at that time). Guess I'll have to wait another couple months until it finally get applied.

That is way too vague. Tell me what exactly is 'best' about debian's release practices, and i'll happily show you where it's done better.

Vague claim, community is neither the largest nor the smartest. This is pure fanboyism.

Stupid and wrong piece of uneducated gibberish. What exactly is Debian's role in Linux' or GNU's reliability? How is Debian more reliable than, say, Gentoo? Fanboyism at its finest.

It is the distro with the best cutting-edge version.

Can you please get any more vague?

Sorry to break it to you but they did have turing-complete machines in '66, which do more than ``remotely resemble'' modern computing devices, as the fundamental principles didn't change.
Yes, yours is. No, mine is not, you just didn't think about it, or you consider implementing a jvm a trivial matter. Or, are you even thinking that just because a machine is virtual, it doesn't qualify as a platform?
I don't know where you are from, but judging by the spelling you use for "behaviour" it's not the US, so I can't speak for your particular location.
I'm from Germany. Our truck drivers aren't even considered particularly insane in global comparison, I suppose. Yet you often see them tailgating, minute-long overtaking because the difference in velocity is just so small, going leftmost lane, and so on. Basically the only thing a truck can/not/ do anymore is speeding, since they are all required to have speed limiters.
While I have seen truck drivers do some questionable things on occasion, most wrecks I've seen involved some idiotic driver in a car.
That's most likely because cars outnumber trucks by far
People in cars seem to thing they can weave in and out of truck traffic and that the truck behind them can stop just as fast as they can. Obviously it doesn't work that way.
Well your place might differ (though unlikely) but over here every other track is tailgating either a slow car or another truck.
Besides that this is an somewhat out-of-scope point, i don't see why the PhD grad would be more likely to get bored, and let his mind wander off. I think even PhDs have some desire to survive, and if you're, say, into physics, it probably becomes hard to ignore the fact that you're steering some 30 MJ of kinetic energy around (48t truck at cruising speed (90 km/h)) I guess that provides/some/ incentive to stay aware. It would for me, at least.
Your average truck driver might have literally no idea about the invovled physics, and this is very often reflected in idiotic and dangerous truck driver behaviour.
Do I believe that understanding the physics of how to drive a truck corresponds to actually being able to do so? Not at all.
First of all, the 'physics of how to drive a truck' aren't the same as 'truck driving physics'. And someone understanding the latter is damn sure able to better, and especially more safely, drive his truck.
Seconds, I'm selling those nice bridges. It's a real bargain. Interested?
PhDs having an awesome theoretical grasp of something, and absolutely zero practical grasp of something.
It probably makes you feel better to think this, I get it. Much like people who like to believe Einstein failed his math classes in school.
I'm betting you can find people who can write you the equations, but not actually perform the task because they don't have the coordination or motor skills.
You can find disabled people basically everywhere.
I'm not convinced what you say is true, because I've seen a fair few people with a PhD.
FTFY
Because, in some cases, the more you understand the underlying physics, the less you've ever done anything involving them and live in your own little bubble.
Did you learn all this from The Big Bang Theory?
My guess, take 10 high school students who enrolled in shop, and 10 PhD grads, give them each a month of training -- and you'll find a bias towards the high school students being pretty good, and the PhD grads being terrifying. I'm not saying ALL PhD grads, but I'm saying enough to be statistically significant.
Your average truck driver would also be unable to drive a truck, if not being taught how to.
Given the same level of truck driving education, i daresay the PhD grad would likely do better, because of more likeliness that he better understands driving physics.
Hi! Great to catch you here. Your fucking wife is trying to give away all your money via Email, for a considerable time now. Weren't you aware of that?!
available in june and mags had the "reviews" in august.
Well, with Android Studio becoming available in June, it can't possibly be reviewed in the magazine's 'June' release, for it is actually released at the beginning of April.
It can't possibly go into July, since Android Studio wasn't available at the beginning of June.
It went into the August release, and therefore was on time.

Shit man, my fucking BIOS has a goddamn GUI these days
I called, I want my 90s back.
Dammit what on earth would you want a GUI-driven BIOS for? Probably depends on a mouse, even.
Would not purchase.

She wasn't aware of C Plus Equality until now
Wow you're one fanboy. half your claims are wrong.
I'm shaking, I'm shaking.
(Hope that's what it translates to)
Yes, yours is. No, mine is not, you just didn't think about it, or you consider implementing a jvm a trivial matter.
Or, are you even thinking that just because a machine is virtual, it doesn't qualify as a platform?
The single only platform java will ever run on is the jvm. It indeed is one of the least portable languages around.
So your point is that people [and the world in general] is accurately depicted on TV. Do yourself a favor and escape the gene pool.
Hm, it was worth an unsolicited reference before -- now it's ``decade-old super cheesy''
