thats actually not true, unless you count desktop computers as the only type of computers.
As in number of installs, linux dominates world wide as the most installed OS peroid.(includes android). It dominates in the supercomputer, phone, server markets, and it makes a sizable presence in the Mainframe, realtime, and embedded markets.
Compare with windows, which has desktops on lockdown, has a small presence serverside, and virtually non-existant, and viewed as some form of sick joke, elsewhere.
Yes and No. In cyber security class they taught us that nothing is secure from someone who absolutely wants your data, but that doesn't mean you can do nothing. Security is not an all or nothing event.
Cyber Security relies of being meshed with physical security, and the good will and social reliability of everyone else, to certain degrees, and other non-cyber security measures.
The three "Ds" of security are Deter, Detect, and Delay.
The ability to detect intrusion can give you the ability to start clean up sooner, or take actions against the intruder. In the case of the NSA, exposure to the public. If what they do isn't so secret, its not as effective.
Deter - Strong Crypto, unless the math is completely broken, brute force takes time on really powerful computer systems, which means money. The more you make an organization waste on your system, the less they can do for everyone else. Also the secondary effect is detection, because the monies spent, as well as the physical locations of such computers will leave a pretty big paper trail. Another deterrence is air gapping, making them have to send someone to your house to steal the computer. This is a high risk, because it would leave lots of physical evidence, and there is a pretty high level of political risk in doing so.
Delay - login systems, crypto, proxies. multiple systems in succession that need to be broken. The long it takes in manhours is manhours not spent elsewhere. When running from a tiger, you don't need to be faster than the tiger, just faster than the guy next to you. same concept.
Detect - the sooner you detect, the sooner you can either do countermeasures, or go public with it, or start analyzing the attack to prevent future attacks. The best disinfectant is sunlight.
If your using the truck as a truck, I don't care. I don't care if your a rancher, offroader, gotta few horses, construction, etc...
By all means, continue to get work done.
However things like a Escallades and Navigators shouldn't exist. If your a limp dick office worker too self conscious about being a white collar employee, fuck off. you have no business driving a truck.
No, they supported him, because he was far better than the communists, who would have most likely wiped out the royal bloodlines.
He also got called "little corporal" behind his back in a derogatory manner by conservatives. They viewed him with deep suspicion, and plotted against him. They also feared and loathed the strasseist wing of the nazi party, and especially the SA, most of which were young unemployed strasserists, and big well organized goverment allowed hooligans. There was even talk that the SA was going to replace the wermarcht as Germany's army.
The night of long knives changed that. The top SA leaders were assassinated, along with many influential conservatives, the strasserists, the SA's role as the nazi's political army was given to its former subdivision, the SS, which was more conservative and middle class in its economics.
After this, no one dared oppose Hitler. Hitler's version of nazism was unopposed. Hitler selected himself as monarch.
See, the thing about Monarchs is they never got selected for any fitness test, they selected themselves by taking the throne, either by force, or by treachery. That doesn't make a good or accountable leader.
Mark Shuttleworth is an egotistical asshole. I think he went totally bonkers with acusing everyone not using MIR as the "open source tea party". After that, I am going to tend to ignore everything he says as total hysteria.
His Red Hat bashing is also inane. Red Hat makes things the rest of the open source community uses, like Gnome, network manager, systemd, and is a big time contributor to the linux kernel. Cannocial is not. Cannocial makes things not widely used outside cannocial, not because they are closed, its because no one cares. Bazzar(everyone else uses git, subversion, mercury), MIR(everyone else Xorg or wayland), upstart(everyone else uses systemd made by redhat or sysv-init), and finally their own in house desktop Unity, no one else uses unity.
But if you need to put somethings in perspective, 76% of all computers on planet earth run the linux kernel. In every market except desktop Linux has a sizable represenation, from super computers, to the only non zOS mainframes, to embedded, to realtime, to phones, to servers.
Debian is the most popular server distribution of linux, which is the most popular server operating system. In fact debian has 10% of the total server market share, itself. Thats a bigger share than Apple has on the desktop. Thats large companies and governments trusting debian with their data. Thats in an enviroment that is less fail tollerant than the desktop, and ultimately more important.
When you need something that is going to work, and not fuck up, you look at debian. Debian is quite litterally the face of Linux.
Ubuntu might have %70+ of the linux desktop installs, but thats not even signifigant, because they don't have more than 0.5% of the market. No one trusts Ubuntu with their fucking data.
There are a few versions of Mint, and it Mint by itself isn't a *Real* distro.
Its just a set of remixes, and they make the Cinnamon Desktop.
So think about Linux Mint, Mate and cinnamon as simply the "Ubuntu MATE and cinnamon remix", as there are already remixes for all the other major desktops.
A user interface is just personal prefrence. Lots of people don't like Ubuntu's Unity. So there is Kubuntu, Gubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and Mint.
Mint also makes a debian remix as well as the famous ubuntu remixes.
multi-arch is done by debian, and debian supports a far far far wider range of platforms than ubuntu. There is also consistancy throughout the various platforms, unlike ubuntu, where things other than x86 don't even show up in the package tracker.
I am also pretty sure that Ubuntu takes most of its build's from debian-unstable, then tries and tweak them.
As far as init systems got, Ubuntu is the only one using upstart, and most likely will stay that way. Everyone else is going to red-hat developed systemd, to include debian.
If debian went away, ubuntu would most likely be based on redhat or slackware.
Debian is one of the giant trunks of the GNU/Linux community, with RedHat being the other. Ubuntu depends on debian.
Recent advertising decisions by Ubuntu asside, there is nothing wrong with taking something like debian, and putting some polish on it, and making it a easy to use consumer desktop. Debian wasn't doing this, and someone really needed to. Nothing wrong with the general concept of Ubuntu, but its dishonest to say Debian is either less important, or less relivant.
>Any company that requires current "certifications" for people who have been working years in the field deserves exactly what they get.
I'm with you. It says they don't know enough about computers themselves. This is a sure recipe for abuse, because backwards tech-phobic people have a horrid reputation of undervaluing, abusing, and are ever fearful of tech people, that they might use their knowledge to turn the tables on them.
what the fuck are you talking about. Ubuntu is not a successor by any means, it sits firmly downstream.
If debian where to go away tommorow, Ubuntu would go away in 6 months, because they still pull packages from debian to make their new versions.
Also, debian runs on a wide variety of hardware Ubuntu won't run on, in fact one of the widest variety and its a better general purpose OS.
Also, Debian has the lead market share in the server world, so I'd love for you to tell all the companies who run debian-stable servers they need to ditch them for ubuntu-server.
I think its called "tribute". Its an acknowledgement that apple, not the municipal government is the most powerful entity in city, and they call the shots.
Socialism is not rooting in a centrally mananged economy, but the belief that all production should be done for a common good("worker owned" the means of production)
While there are certainly many types of socialism where this is the case, its NOT a defining feature (anarcho-socialism for one, and even pure marxism, in the never achieved end state has no government).
There are other highly oppressive big state types of governence than socialism.
Facism and the so called National "Socialism", and integralists, and even proggressives, make up "third position economics".
Then we have monarchists, and feudalists, and other ancient state supreme forms of government.
or why doesn't bill gates get his friends in glaxoklinesmith let one of the countrys with a malaria endemic to have a free license to manufacture the malaria drug themselves?
The reason why they need the drug from westerners in the first place is because restrictions on intellectual property prevent them from making it themselves.
Or if Bill Gates wanted to help the worlds population, instead of having UNICEF pay for monanto crops, yearly, per license, why doesn't he tell them to stop pursuing Intellectual Property infringements and let people feed themselves. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/18/monsanto-brazil-soybean-farmers_n_1606267.html
The real danger of intellectual property isn't music or software being yanked from westerners, its the same strong arm tactics being applied to food in medicine, in the developing world, and in poor areas of the so called developed world.
So what does that have to do with Gate's philanthropy? Well, they own a nice sizable stock intrest in monsanto.
So, if Bill Gates wants to stop capitalism, he can start by stop being a capitalist. He gives with one hand and takes with another.
What he's taking is peoples ability to produce what they need independantly, and giving them dependance.
Again, just like he gave out free copies of windows in the 1900s, just to make people pay for upgrades, when the third world depends on him for food and medicine, is he going to start charging money?
Slashdot Mirror
and so does the treatment.
having someone declared mentally ill was a good way of getting rid of them back in the 19th century.
I think you misunderstand.
mental health centers ARE prisons.
They are calling for a return of the bad old days of 19th century asylums.

In oklahoma not so much, but in a an aggressive congested enviroment like NYC, why is anyone driving a truck?
Anyone else think of that too.
Tall SUVs ARE the problem
see the problem isn't the beer, the problem is when you stop serving people beer.
solution. let bars stay open all nite

bullshit. Mainstream is a relivant term. What is mainstream to one, might be obscure to another.
In the Linux world, there were traditionally four "mainstream" desktops
Gnome, KDE, XFCE, and LXDE.
MATE and Cinnamon both have a sizable following and intrest. Its not like we are talking about icewm, or some obsecure window manager here.

Bill Gates is pissed that after spending Billions of dollars on public relations, people still like google more
>Hope this revelation doesn't make Bill Gates think any less of the project!?
Sour Grapes From Bill Gates
>Hope this revelation doesn't make Bill Gates think any less of the project!"
or if Bill Gate's projects involve getting UNICEF to buy from organizations he hold stock in such as Monsanto and GlaxoKlineSmith
hopefully we'll have someone get to counter-check NSA facts vs real facts.
He's also done far more to HURT humanity than I could ever dream of doing.
What have you done btw, besides talking shit on as AC.
this makes it seem that much more ridicolous.
Why doesn't the state just sell more TVs and airconditioning?
or open more state shops if people can't reach the current ones.
surely no one is going to pay 5 times the price for the same thing when they know the government shop won't rip them off.
because I, the worker, have no choice in buying services, I am just as complicit in setting up systems of exploitment I have NO CONTROL of changing.
the diffrence is Bill Gates has not only the economic status, but social, and political status to change the system. I do not.
