This will sell to lazy people of the same breed who buy pod coffee machines for home use.
There is an ever growing movement of people who don't want to eat anything that has loose synthetic origin or contains any "chemicals".
Coffee pod machines use std ground coffee with no additives, they in fact operate just the same as an espresso at a coffee shop, just with prepackaged coffee grounds. They produce real espresso with considerably less additives than instant.
Some offices don't even bother with Ethernet cabling anymore; they just use WiFi. This was unheard of 15 years ago, when Slashdot users were no doubt grousing about their homebuilder's oversight for not incorporating Ethernet into their homes during construction.
I predict 15 years from now, the constant need to be tethered to A/C will be obviated, either through wireless recharging, through improved device charge capacity, or through increased energy efficiency.
Or the next GFC/Global Warning/Asteroid strike will have reduced us to scrabbling in the ruins for AA batteries to drive our Nintendos
Bad analogy. A public company made *other* peoples private data freely available, by negligence and/or incompetence. Completely different to a private individual making their own data public.
Yup, I use a reshipper to buy physical goods in the usa and ship them to Brisbane. Typicaly even with air freight its still 30% - 60% cheaper. I got a 50 kilo gym shipped, total cost half what it cost in Oz.
Because its very hard to reproduce, non of the reporters could come up with a reliable way of doing other than "On my system". I myself used to see that bug until kde 4.8. Have never seen it since.
You motivated me to give nouveau a go after a long absence from it. I'm impressed, performance seems excellent and I have all desktop effects working, plus two monitors. Using an GT220.
I wiped that an put in Thunderbird, which was judged as "just like the old computer". So now she spends nearly all her computer time using Thunderbird and Firefox, and a little bit of LibreOffice, so the obvious next step is step is, boot to KDE with an autologin
Did exactly that with my wife, Thunderbird, Firefox and LibreOffice. She is very happy with the result, two years running now. Never crashed, every now and then I run updates. No problems.
Covers all the request features. However since the move to akonadi it does have a terrible reputation for bugginess, unrelalibility and resource hogging, unfortunately a not undeserved one.
However it has been improving steadly, even drastically since kde 4.7. I've been using it as my primary even despite the problems because when its working:) it is just so good. Fantastic integration with KDE, really good handling of multiple accounts and identities. PGP & SMIME, integration with Google calendar and contact, as well as other 3rd parties. An open plugin system for extending it. And it looks *really* good, the perfect blend of functionality and sexiness - when its working:)
I just upgraded to KDE 4.10 Beta 1 (via Kubuntu raring). There seems to be another qualitive improvement in reliabilty. Akonadi hogging the CPU seems to be fixed. Message searches are working - full text content and attributes.
There's still progress to be made, but its made huge steps and I finally feel confident in saying Kontact is back and will make it. The developers have the feature sets done and are just focusing on bug fixing now.
A *small* sample of the results. All of which have various different answers, all a variation on each other, none of which consistently work. Bonus - many cryptic meanigless error messafes.
# On branch master # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by commits. # nothing to commit (working directory clean)
Every single fucking one. And its probably the most search phrase relating to kit with the most questions and the most complete lack of fucking helpful answers. If the precious fucking git maintainers could come up with a more informative error message and a simple default action for the most common case - syncing local/remote branches then they'd probably reduce google traffic by at least 10%
I love my KDE 4.9x/Kubuntu 12.10 install except for the flakiness that the poxy virtuoso/nepomuk/akonadi brings to it. Thats what I find attractive about the gnome derivatives - they haven't bet the farm on integrating their environments with the buggy unstable CPU hogging piece of crap that is nepomuk/virtuoso.
But I find gnome unattractive compared to KDE and I dislike Unity & Gnome Shell. But I do like where Cinnamon is going and this latest rev looks quite good.
If only I could find a decent gnome based Pim - I love Kontact, when its not being ass reamed by nepomuk/virtuoso. Thunderbird is getting creaky, Evolution is OK but not as slick as Kontact.
The world looks to America to set a good example, and America leads by example.
Sadly no, that ship sailed quite some time ago. In fact it never really docked in the first place. That the world looks up to America is a happy little fantasy americans entertain to keep themselves feeling all warm and fuzzy while they fuck everyone else over.

Do you make the same critiques against Tea Bags?

No he probably means the highly abrasive regolith dust that is kicked up and tracked in by every person using the airlocks.

Wheres the "Fucking Idiotic" mod when you need it.

Its quite snappy for me.
Devs are working on these issues. Broken functionality and bugs get the highest priority, but speed issues are most definitly being looked at.

Especially about the Holocaust never happening, etc.
If they'd ever actually said that you *might* have had a point.
Classic case of USA media lies and a credulous ignorant public.
You've obviously never run into the problem, its never that simple.

so you can fuck the younger generations real good and hard.
Yeah, and you really want it, nice and hard.
I meant to say Mate desktop. Mate is the default desktop for the Mint distro
Ah! that makes more sense. Quite fond of Mate myself, but I'm addicted to Kontact, despite all its issues. It does keep improving.
so I brainfarted.
Meh, farts happen.
Mint What?
KDE is a desktop env, Mint is a distro. The two are not comparable.
Last nights debate was pure politics - not "News for Nerds". Whereas this involves WoW - definitely nerdy.
Thanks - I'll give it a spin in a VM
I'm curious to give Gnome 3 a spin (not Unity). Can anyone recommend a relatively pure up to date Gnome Distro? preferably apt based?
