Well I have, and I'm sorry to say that kmail is probably the worst of the core kde applications. And I say that as someone who generally loves kde and have used it for 10+ years (and I didn't even moan during the kde3>4 switch).
Strangely, I keep on using kmail in the forlorn hope that it will eventually get fixed and stop being a slow and unresponsive resource hog. The latest glimmer of hope I cling to is that the kde devs are finally getting rid of the nepomuk/strigi mess......
The reputation of the police is so low now that they need to be audited, and this is lesser of the two evils. If you have broken the law and think you deserve leniency, then ask the judge when (s)he is about to sentence you (or during the plea bargaining process, if you are arrested in the US).
Yep. I used Linux almost exclusively for many years at university. Back when I had the time and desire to fix things when they broke. Eventually I was worn down by the endless cycle of update break fix that you get in Linux. When you can't even safely update to the next version the system is broken.
And windows update is always flawless and never breaks anything, and every in-situ upgrade between windows versions is always a complete success...
Ubuntu 14.04 user here. Every time I login I am greeted with a stack of "System problem detected" warnings. Both Firefox and Thunderbird are extremely unstable. Firefox crashes a few times a week. Thunderbird does so twice a week (about). Now and then the whole system hangs when doing a rsync to an external disk (hangs, not busy).
Kubuntu 14.04 user here. Firefox crashes maybe once every 3 months, kmail maybe once every 2 months, which is no worse than my windows experience of browsers and mail clients. Never had any hangs or crashes when doing an rsync.
Oh, I am sure Linux apologists blame me, my hardware, etc. But I've been running 10.04 for years on the same hardware
Solidworks offer a free (as in beer) 2D CAD package with a very similar look and feel to Autocad (and fully dwg compatible), and they even have a linux version. So you can have "autocad" on linux......
Yep, 2GB is enough to load windows 8.1 and fire up an instance of internet explorer, if that's all that happens. But then HP will fill half of the 32GB flash with crapware (cos they always do), and then you will need to run antivirus of somekind, and then most users will end up accidently installing crappy browser toolbars and printer drivers with autostarting utilities. And then 2GB and an A4 cpu will be nowhere near enough.....
At the risk of a possible bad analogy, if Google included undocumented unlicensed code in Android, I would not consider it reasonable to hold each phone vendor liable for infringement, either.
That is a bad analogy, which is why all the major phone vendors have done licensing deals with Microsoft, and not Google. And remember SCO going after end users of linux?
My thoughts exactly. There is no way you could compress the whole B5 story arc into several movies, never mind one, without cutting out everything that gave the series it's depth and texture.
I get why people complain about series 5, but I think that was partly because JMS didn't think he would make it that far. After series 1 and 2 taught you about the B5 universe and it's characters, and built up the sense of foreboding that something bad was coming, I thought the way the momentum built during series 3 and 4 was excellent.
What's the point of being a stealth aircraft if you have a radar shining like a spotlight out of your nose? Then everyone can see you coming, and the response becomes as simple as having a passive radar homing missile.
My first thought on seeing this was that it's a way round the limits on the police retaining people's DNA records. Now we need everyone's DNA and to keep it forever, because, you know, cancer!

Its 2014 and LibreOffice doesn't include a plausible alternative to Outlook, OneNote and so on.
Yep - that's a feature, not a bug.....

You could never pay me enough for me to want to be a teacher. I'm glad other people are prepared to do it though.....
