I'd rather have a relatively lean (read fast) client that performs it's core function very well, rather than a monstrosity that does a thousand things in a kinda half-assed way.
You mean like mutt or just basic file system access with cat, awk, base64, w3m and less?
Or do you really mean that you want core function plus your feature set, and you don't want to be bothered by or care what other people want?
I hate it when an article raises more questions than it answers, especially questions directly related to procedure and which may negate the entire premise of the article.
Most old cities have combined storm and septic sewer systems. One of the hazards of such sewer systems is methane. Did they account for any such sewers in their methane scan?
And regardless of the explosion hazard, or simply the cost of the gas or some deterioration in air quality, methane is a far worse greenhouse gas than CO2. And if you have ever had a small water leak, you know how even a small leak over time results in a large quantity being leaked. (Leaking gases being worse than water because they diffuse so well the quantity of leakage is very hidden.)
The teachers I know all have a list of things they need in their classroom that they are trying to acquire. So sell the rest and use the proceeds for those classroom needs that you would otherwise have to buy yourself, fight for, or do without.
Apple thinks it is, when the original is the Apple iPhone/iPad and the "completely new codebase, but providing very similar user look and feel" is by somebody not Apple.
Ubuntu has made a lot of changes (from the kernel and init system to the Unity desktop and notifications). If something depends on any of those changes it isn't going to be happy with debian.
I have had nearly complete success the other direction though. So I would say if it runs on debian it should run on Ubuntu.
Surely Samsung's lawyers have investigated how much financial interest the judge has in Apple. If she owns any Apple stock, even indirectly as in a growth mutual fund or even an index fund (where Apple may be a significant part of the fund, e.g. Apple is 4.5% of the S&P 500) then she has some financial interest in the case.
The question is, how much? Is it enough to influence someone?
And another bias-related question... Will she try too hard to avoid showing favoritism toward a Korean firm?
"rile up" the judge is NOT "the very definition of contempt of court." Some ways one might rile up the judge would be contempt but it is up to a good lawyer to push that as far as possible without being in contempt.
I have run the 64bit version extensively and have tried to get it running properly, no dice.
Don't know why you've had such problems with Ubuntu.
I've been running the 32-bit version since before the 2004 release and started running the 64-bit version full-time with 9.4. Currently have one desktop system running 32-bit (because it is such a pain to upgrade to 64) and 5 desktops running the 64-bit (one of those is mythbuntu). It has been at least two releases with no special problems that did not also occur on 32-bit. Another 3 systems run the 64-bit sometimes (dual-boot with windows vista and windows 7) and again no special problems.
Running the current 64-bit version is even easier since they've had multiarch support.
I also have one debian server running a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit userland just because it is useful and was so easy to upgrade the kernel.
I am a little bit surprised that Vista will not be supported. I expect Vista just never had the market penetration to be worth the aggravation.
But really, who cares? Open Office (actually I prefer Libre Office since 3.5 came out) does everything I need, and everything everyone else I know needs. The only reason for Microsoft Office is cross compatibility with other MS Office users but it has been a few years since Open Office failed me in that regard. And even then, the sender did not actually need anything that Open Office didn't do. They used MS Office "just because."
Then you need to keep up your skills and always be learning new stuff. I started 25 years ago with C, Pascal, Fortran, Basic, various assembly and a smattering of other stuff. Transitioned to C++, Java, and a bunch of other new then but now obsolete tech. Now currently working mostly in Python and Javascript and still some C and C++. Being involved in open source projects can help the resume, but everything you learn helps the interview process as well as helps you learn what interests you.
Want to transition to less technical? Then an MBA and some other management (people and project) classes can help. Might need to be an MBA from a "real" school to do you any good. A promotion or even lateral move within the same company to get management experience will likely be easier than ending a job as technical and finding a new job as management.

If you do end up on your own in the U.S., COBRA will keep your health insurance going for a time, but $$$$. My last COBRA quote was $2100 per month for my family. I ended up getting a personal policy with similar coverage for under $400 per month. Current job pays coverage for me, buying additional coverage for the rest of the family is about the same price as buying it on my own for similar coverage.
LILO never gave me a commandline when it could not find the next stage. Grub and Grub2 both give me a commandline and let me fix the problem without a recovery disk.
Does LILO load disk images into a ramdisk and simulate a drive? Grub2 does.
Does LILO boot ISO files discovered at boot time by scanning a directory? Grub2 does.
I resisted grub2 for a few years. but I've been using a pre-release version for a few years now and it works fine. You just need to update your skills a decade or so.
LG has a 5" 1080p display. 4 of those tiled would be a pretty nice 10" display. Then 4 of those (16 of the 5" ones) tiles for a 20"... Yup, VRAM and bandwidth quickly become significant!
I think javascript is just about the worst possible choice in popular languages. (php would be worse)
Javascript is strict about things that do not matter (e.g. trailing comma in a list) and not at all strict about things that could make a real mess (e.g. trailing semi-colons, or not, at the end of each line).
Javascript is a huge hack and it shows.
Which javascript environment would you learn? firefox? chrome? internet explorer? Something else? Why would you want to incur the complexity of the world that is javascript when you aren't forced to?
I've done large multi-threaded systems with python. It works great.
The only problem with "python is not reentrant" is if you are calling a module or extension written in some other language AND that extension needs to call back into python.
That may be a problem in some applications, but has not been for me.

"and those who won't pay for protection."
They had to take action on CRTs, now essentially obsolete, for something which occurred during a 10 year period ending 7 years ago.
Couldn't they have found a current or a longer lasting cartel?
De Beers perhaps?
Or if that doesn't pass the "essential" test, how about OPEC?
I'm sure there are other candidates. But no. Like any other bully or mob, politicians pick on the weak and those who won't pay for protection.

That means trying various things to see what it can be improved...
The best I've found so far for me cooking a turkey is to immerse it in boiling oil.
(After the turkey is done, the oil can be poured over the ramparts.)
But even better is to have someone else cook the turkey.
What if all or most just decided to treat the 'want' or 'collect' button as if it were named "dislike"?
FB cannot force us to treat the button according to the text that labels it.
But too bad the masses would never know.
Keep the best of them for lending as needed.

Collecting the information IS spying.
How the information is used after being collected does not matter for determining spying, only the motivation for spying.
Thank you. :)

Do you want to stay technical?

Printer resolution has nothing to do with pixel (dot) size.
Printer resolution is addressable dots, which when used the printer then proceeds to splat a big blot at each addressed location.
