It was a sinking ship before I ever started using Linux -- Mandriva 2009 was my first ever distro, and it made me fall in love with Linux. But the writing was on the wall for that company, well documented in the forums I used to frequent back in the day. These days (and since roughly 2010) I'm an Arch Linux user, so I never got on the wagon to Mageia, but back then I so desperately was ready to take on a huge role with the community-based distro that we always talked about.
I'm simply waiting for extension support, and I'll be using Vivaldi (weekly-snapshot or otherwise) full-time! Was so happy to have run across it on the ChrOpera forums. Rejoice! For pre-chromium Opera lives on in spirit!
Weird...really odd. I had the exact opposite experience. Arch has been super stable for me when Fedora was garbage, Manjaro and Antergos wouldn't install and Ubuntu was too resource heavy. Glad you found something that works for you though.
Exactly, I've had a similar experience, on more than a couple different laptops. My current laptop is about a year in...never have I had Arch itself take a dump on me. Stupid stuff I did caused issues, but not because of a simple update...odd that OP's comment was up-voted so much.
Yes, something that I do. Found it funny that the title is "Too much exercise...", then goes on to cite a study about pretty specific types of JOGGING. Sensationalism?
Yeahhh, I've been using this for a few months now, just as good as ABP as far as blocking ads. Can't speak much to the performance differences as they've been negligible on my "beefy" hardware, but the lack of special whitelists for ad makers is a huge plus.
...was the last actual SimCity. Every subsequent game with that name was a dumbed-down fucking shell, a goddamn disgrace. Had high hopes for this latest iteration before all the BS came to light. SMH.
Hell I still play SC4 now when I get bored. Have an awesome realistic region of 4+ million or so, based on a map made from the Oxnard, CA area (scaled way up). Bah...but enough waxing nostalgic. Fuck fucking EA and what they did to Maxis, smfh.

Wow, did this seriously happen? SMH
Up-mod for Armageddon reference had I the points!!
But, agreed, I could definitely devote a career and life's work to studying space, astrophysics and cosmology more precisely, heh.

Agreed. It'll be interesting to try it out once it's stable enough. Totally not wanting a redo of the nightmare that happened at the beginning of KDE4
Agreed, still in love with and using KDE4 Oxygen atm, heh.
Thank you so much for piquing my interest in Kerbal! So buying this game!

I never noticed...uBlock must do it's job VERY well.
This...this is amazing!
This post...is so awesome.
Was just going to post this. It's so annoying that they're hidden by default. Like, why? How does it help even the no-savvy user?

Even more specifically, Presto needs to be open sourced!
Yes, they're referring to the layout engines (Webkit and Blink); that's the partiality of each respective browser in regards to 'open source'

Lol, I don't foresee parent rebutting...
So mad I've no mod points for you...this should be copy/pasted in every rebuttal to the "subscription" assertion.

Slashdot has ads?
Lesson learned: don't build a good product that is going to work well for a long time.
This was my first thought -- that some of these manufactures poorly implemented their planned obsolescence, lol.
I, too, have had a strong desire to some day make a trip to the southern hemisphere to view these amazing sights. It'll be so amazing!
My initial thoughts when I read the headline as well, haha.
Lol, don't worry, GP nor wonkey_money will bother commenting at their surprise that something so absurd could possibly be true.
