What exactly do you use as Linux?
I mean, I've been running Linux for 4 years now, never actually running vim, emacs, or anything more complex than Nano to make it work.
Actually, as they are releasing Steam on Linux too, it's very much possible that they don't want to write any more code to support BSD too. At least Linux has decent driver support and an existing user base - after all, they are a games company, not an OS one.
I'd say Gnome had a very big purpose to live in the KDE4.0 days, when the K environment was basically useless, GNOME had a niche of a good enough interface.
I'd say this is more imitating Google than Apple:
"We are doing a series of products to showcase how we'd do it (Nexus), and then we lend everyone the software for them and us to profit from (HTC, Asus, Acer, Samsung) "
Yes, I am talking about AMOLED, Samsung Galaxy S3's SuperAMOLED in particular. Yes, iPhone 5's screen has a Retina display, but I like the S3's colour range and contrast better.
Oookay, so you lose all sorts of credibility for linking to the second link, because it is just mindless bashing of 4chan, not linked at all with censorship.
AFAIK, the slot interfaces have been stable for a few years now: DDR3, LGA1156(or AM3 if you like.), PCI-Express. New versions come out, but I've been coasting with this setup for quite a while now.
Actually, only the first point was kind of in focus in 17-37. We know for sure that prison sentences were a contact-spread disease, we know that the prison system was harsh (and I mean, people rarely lived more than 10 years there) and the corruption was rarely, if ever, a concern. Because the real concern was a "dog eats dog" system.
Yep, just like yesterday, people like to post, and just like yesterday, your comment will be out of the bottom quite soon. Want attention? Try FP.
Slashdot (mostly) believes that, of course, Iran doesn't threaten the West as much as the West desperately wants it to be compliant. No need to get all conspiracy-theoretic about it.
You know why people don't like conspiracy theories? Because they tend to turn out wrong. You can guess all you want, but unless you actually are behind the curtain, you are not likely to know just what is going on. Only hindsight in these situations is 20/20. So why bother with hopping on to the latest guess?
Minus a point for even remembering KDE, which has the most configurable classic desktop in the arena, a strictly optional tablet/netbook interface with an actual tablet to boot from it (Vivaldi, of course), and still are the easy (often default) option in desktops.
So what I am saying - if "it doesn't have 5% market share" means dead to you, fine. In fact, it hasn't ever been alive by that standard.
If dead means "no new releases, no developers, no community", then Linux is very much alive and well.
Slashdot Mirror
Yep. Ubuntu's main mirror is hosted on Amazon S3, AFAIK.

And Thunderbird, Firefox, VLC, Audacity, GIMP. Because nobody uses them, right?
He was making a point that "state-run" does not mean "free."

Actually, if you want to go this way, you can see that AppleTV, Nexus Q or pretty much any damn thing with XBMC able to run got you covered.

IPS superior to LED? I believe your mileage may vary.
You have a very crappy netbook then, because all sorts of Optimus-powered ones can do all of that with ease.
I remember how E16 actually came out in the late 2000s, and they are tidying it up for 17's release. I think we will see it.
Their non-existent touchpad support.
Mageia, even though it's got some pretty awful bugs to iron out, is moving in the right direction.

Because of a Chicken/Egg problem, not because of Optimus.

So, if short, Raspberry Pi will rule the world?
Thinking you pay a price too big for mobility, and then getting a freaking iMac? Duuuude.
Now, if you see them over five times, that must be your local representative's twitter.
Well, it's not that these projects were in beta for way too long, it's just that they are being honest about it.
