You how is it unfair to recommend your own product above others? Microsoft still packages ie with windows they just have to allows it to be removed just as Google also shows other peoples products.
thunderbolt will probably be the next firewire. Technically its better than USB3 (just like firewire was better than USB2) but used almost exclusively on Macs late to be supported by other OS like Microsoft and Linux. A few other devices such as video cameras which will come with thunderbolt but will have usb as well anyway and will be ignored by the rest of the universe except for a few external hard drive manufactures that will charge more for models that have it than ones that don't.
They probably do have a physical lock and key that opens it but with many cars there has been a bad decision with the on board anti theft and security systems that the car alarm will go off if the key is used to unlock the vehicle after it has been locked the the remote. If that weren't bad enough when the car alarm goes off the ignition locks and won't let you start the car until you lock and unlock it with the remote.
It is also becoming more and more common to have sport and luxury cars with no key only the key fob with a rf chip similar to the ones in credit cards. I saw that in one of my friends cars it seems ridiculous to me considering that any one with the right equipment could listen in on the key exchange.
If you pay attention I specified adobe reader for a reason - no overdrive (overdrive being very common common library ebook lending drm system)as that only runs with adobe. As for flash you either have the old out of date Linux plug-in for Firefox or the pepper api in chrome but not iirc chromium. Neither Chrome nor the flash plugin would be in a gnu approved OS, and average Joe has no clue what a repo is much less find a trisquel specific one as it is aimed at free as in Stallmans definition of free thus it user base would not want it to "contaminate" their system. You say you don't use netflix but lots and lots of people do and it won't work with moonlight as MS won't license the client side DRM and moonlight hasn't seen an update in a long time(also every time Firefox updates it kicks it for being out of date but you can reinstall it and it works fine, or rather as well as it ever did which wasn't that well to begin with.
yes but the have to pay more and more on their malpractice because of stupid ass crap like that and the doctors then have to raise their rates, to compensate medical insurance rates raise for the end user. health care prices would be much lower if there was some tort reform and lowering of malpractice and medical insurance rates to go with it.
if you want a "proper static ip" at home there is always IPv6 they be a pain in the ass to remember a large number of them but since you only use a few internet facing IP's generally anyway it should not be hard, just use IPv4 on you internal network and you have the best of both worlds. For business users that need static IP's the cost won't be all that significant as you are already paying for a business connection.
hmn? red hat seems to make money under it happily enough. android seems to be doing great opensource programs runn of nearly everyones computer now days, be it vlc firefox chrome(ium) audacity, etc, the only problemis MS still rules the desktop with an iron fist. these virtual servers are often running redhat of ubuntu with support contracts, while i dislike the implications of a public cloud it is not the end of the free software world may people will still host their own web servers be it for security reasons or out of paranoia, cost or they just want to. the server room may shrink but it will still be there.
He could of used assorted other lesser known utils or maybe used the ones from BSD after they beat AT&T. As it stands now there are a number of Linux sans gnu OS's out their, Android being the largest inferno a interesting set of programs that i have contemplated playing with i like a number of concepts plan9 had. Also as to your saying "Linux is part of defacto part of GNU" even Stallman would and has said your full of sh!t on that one. And don't go say "well call it gnu/linux then" as there are a whole shit ton of there major projects tools included on my system to. Should I call it GNU/Apache/BSD/X11/Mate/KDE/XFCE/Oracle/Mozilla/Linux as I have packages from all of them installed? Where do you draw the line? I would say call it Linux because that is what they all run on top of.
My first thought when i saw the distro they choose to handout was "failure".
It won't install on the new windows 8 desktop because of the secure boot without messing with the efi module at (are the computers sold by MS at the MS store required to have the secure boot disabled?) it won't play any of their media unless for some odd reason they have been saving it all in.ogg . It won't contain the necessary drivers. No flash(no hulu, or flash games or about 90% of streamed media) no Silverlight(by extension no netflix) no Adobe reader(so no overdrive ebooks from the local library) no idevice support. It is running a DE that most of the Linux community hates or at least treats with mild disdain, and people who have no experience with non-windows environment will look and act just as alien as DE formerly know as metro. For the things that are missing they will have to add repos and keys mess with the command line and grok the forums to find instruction on how to fix the distro in the end all it will do is reinforce the perception of Linux as a nerdgasim that is a pain to use and incompatible with all of their software. Even the software that they all ready use has been re-branded (over purely silly philosophical reasons see icecat the gnu fork of iceweisle the debian fork of firefox) so as to still seem alien at worst and like a knock off at best. the best thing the cold have done for free software is handout (kde, xfce, gnome fallback, (or unity/gnome 3for the adventurous) )ubuntu and linux mint discs and discs loaded with open source windows software. All this will do is make us look like a bunch of (G)NUts Are you sure that Balmers privet army of ninjas hasn't planted a chip is Stalmens head and turned him into a saboteur?
I have written descent sized projects on Open/LibreOffice(.org) and never had a problem with it. What were your problems with it exactly? My only problem so far has been when i tried opening a MSWorks document and a recent bug with long load times for.RTF documents in LibreOffice.
the point of MAD is that it keeps you from being on the metaforical deathbed in the first place because the people that would put you there don't want you to kill them out of spite
Except if you try to take other peoples nukes (and you don't have any yourself) they are far far to likely to give their nukes to you instead. when there is no M(utually)A(ssured)D(estruction) only you will be on the loosing side of A(ssured)D(estruction). If we were to get rid ours and demand theirs they would blast us into a glow-in-the-dark stone age military included despite its size.
Slashdot Mirror
and when was that last time they made a sparc based mass market pc oh wait... never
Yeah just give the kids there own user account and remove his read permissions to the files for videos above his maturity.

scifi puppetry are you sure your not remembering farscape?
that was my thought on reading it too.
*ios not bios stupid auto-correct
Not really they allready have arm Linux Android and bios they can recycle a lot of that code all they have to build is a new front end.
Maybe he meant chromium?
He could HAVE used.
Bloody hell, you wouldn't write "I of used" instead of "I have used", would you?
On second thought... Just please don't answer that.
grow up grammar nazi
That would be Firefox lacking a grammar check not LibreOffice
I haven't but that is how most people treat/use it.
