Just what exactly is so hard about configuring Debian? It detects pretty much all hardware, and everything Just Works(tm), including whichever desktop environment you chose to install.
"Pretty much", being the key word there.
I have an engineering lab that runs linux. I was happily running Debian on it for a couple of years and everything was just fine, until we replaced the computers. The computers had an Intel board with everything integrated into the board the latest Intel Chipset . The latest Debian stable didn't detect the NIC, sound card or video card. I compiled and installed the NIC driver, but quickly found out that in order to get everything else working I would need to install the latest beta/test/"unstable" version.
So I installed Ubuntu and was done with it.
I have no problem with Debian and would have preferred to continue using it, but I that lab was a tiny portion of my responsibilities and I didn't have time to screw around.
I had a very long discussion with a Novell devotee about ED vs AD back in 2000 and from I got that ED and AD were functionally equivalent with different methods of implementing core functionality.
All of the disadvantages of AD he cited were the result of on him not really understanding how AD worked.
As for Shraia law, there are groups who's stated goal is to institute Sharai in the U.S. They are small fringe groups to be sure, but they exist.
There is a much, much larger group of Christians in this nation who want the Christian version of this, yet for some reason I don't the tea partiers frothing at the mouth over them.
Your view of the people who label themselves as Tea Partiers is derived from incoherent news achors and Democrat party mouth pieces. You may want to actually look into the ideas these people have. You might find yourself agreeing with them if you truely have an open mind.
I personally know several. They are all 50+ years old, white, middle to upper middle class and racist. I don't agree with any of their ideas, because their ideas are stupid and will set our country back 100 years.
The definition of 'small business' has been molested to include business with billions in revenue, so I would take that statistic with a grain of salt.
I did some testing and have confirmed: The CPU in the Samsung i5700, (Samsung S3C6410 @800 MHz) officially sucks.
I'm running Android (xdandroid) on my Touch Pro 2 which has a Qualcomm MSM7200A (528mhz - overlclocked to 768mhz), and I was able to stream slacker radio and load and browse slashdot over WIFI with absolutely no problem. I also tested playing mp3s off the sdcard and also had no problem.
Interestingly, the original Galaxy had the same processor as my Touch Pro 2. Assuming something isn't wrong with your phones hardware or your OS isn't screwed up, the i5700 seems to be a step down from the Original Galaxy.
While I don't think skipping the baby talk would be bad for language development, I think you might be taking credit for too much there.
I have three kids. The oldest didn't say much of anything until he was three, but was extremely bright at math once he entered school. He is seven now and it a wiz at math and at a normal pace in language arts.
Our second talked earlier and is now reading at a 2nd grade level in kindergarten, but is at a normal level in math.
There are clear differences in each childs personality. The first, the "math wiz", has my personality. I'm an IT person and like him excelled in math in school and did okay at language arts.
The second, the reading wiz, has my wife's personality. She is working on her MA in English literature and was reading Shakespeare in 2nd grade.
As far as I know we treated both the same - or at least we made no effort to treat any of them differently.
But then somebody produces some non-anecdotal hard evidence, such as crime statistics or historical accounts, and it turns out to be incorrect.
I've never seen any non-anecdotal evidence that suggests the world used to be better than it is today. If you would like to provide some to me, go ahead.
Yes. My wife is interested in running for office in the future. She knows plenty of people in the state Democratic party leadership here. They have told her that if the time is right (someone retires/scandal/etc) she could easily get funding and a staff to start out.
It's all about knowing the right people and having the right qualities (being electable).
Yes, corporate money has dirtied the political process, but that doesn't make it impossible for people who actually care to make it in politics.
Whiny, defeatist attitudes like yours only help to perpetuate the status quo.
The debt has been increasing every year since at least 1977 and possibly going back to 1870.
Where are you getting your information? Since the end of world war II, the debt has increased nominally every year. I bet it's no coincidence that you picked 1977 as the mythical turning point - the year Cater took office. Never mind the fact that growth of the debt slowed under Carter after spiking slightly a little bit under Ford.
Percent of gdp is just spin used by those that just want to claim
It is not spin. Percentage of GDP is the equivalent of a debt to income ratio that creditors use to evaluate individuals and businesses credit worthiness. The people use it is that it's the number that really matters.

No. Mac users use special proprietary connectors when they mate.

How about we kill two birds with one stone and feed the rich *to* the poor?
We need USA 2.0 at this point, written from the ground up.
From the ground up...like Netscape 5?
Agreed. See my post below.

The phone model he cited is an older, "budget", Android phone. It's CPU is much slower than the one in your Droid X.
Travel expenses are paid for.

I think he might be proposing a three-way.
I have everything after the second step automated.
A 40-fold increase in crime across a century. Whatever could have happened?
More and more things were made illegal? More police were hired? Crime statistics are effected greatly by enforcement bias.
I was thinking more along the lines of hunger, poverty, violence ect.
Note that crime rates in the U.S. are at their lowest since 1969.
But then somebody produces some non-anecdotal hard evidence, such as crime statistics or historical accounts, and it turns out to be incorrect.

Just imagine Yoda saying it and it will make perfect sense the first time.
Do you really believe that ?
Yes. My wife is interested in running for office in the future. She knows plenty of people in the state Democratic party leadership here. They have told her that if the time is right (someone retires/scandal/etc) she could easily get funding and a staff to start out.

Ugg!
Please excuse my molestation of the English language in the above post. :\

So you're not a dimwit. You're just naive.
