"Yes. ANY Coffee in America is overroasted dog shit"
If you're talking Starbucks, Peets, etc. I'll have to agree.
But "any" espresso? Here in San Francisco, all the major local roasters do really light roasts. If you try Blue Bottle or Four Barrel coffee you won't find dark roasts at all.
A while back I donated money to the ACLU. I thought it would go towards defending civil liberties, but it turned out my donation was used to pay a company to repeatedly call me and ask for more money.
After a few hours of research, I found the private home phone number of their CEO. A few days worth of repeatedly calling him and hanging up got my number off their list forever.
"The problem is the fallacy that in order to make a UI that appeals to new users you must automatically get rid of everything that your old users liked about the original."
DOS had a lot of powerful features that Microsoft dropped with Windows 95. Do you think Microsoft would be doing better now if they'd stuck with DOS?
Here's the problem: they're trying to make a desktop that has a broad appeal. Gnome 2 was mostly used by nerds (such as myself!) and nerds don't like change, nor do they like things that have broad appeal.
Getting new users/customers vs. making your existing users/customers happy is perhaps the oldest problem in business, and it's the minefield that Gnome 3, KDE 4, Unity, etc. etc. have all stepped into recently.
Whether that means you'll be able to run any Linux application you like remains to be seen, but I imagine if it's Debian-based it should be quite hackable.
I think they're only referring to the other side of the equation, i.e. disposal. Environmental groups took Apple to task over this a while back, and they responded with some kind of recycling initiative (to what extent, I'm not certain.)
I've never seen so much negative press directed at a group of Americans exercising their first amendment rights. OWS clearly scares a lot of people. Even the Westboro Baptist Church doesn't generate this kind of negative publicity.

Good to know about the EFF. I work near their HQ and have lunch with those guys every now and then.
One time RMS himself even showed up for lunch with us. His "pleasure card" is still sitting on my desk.
What was tha.. again? Sorr....... hear you.

You know you've taken your censorship too far when the Russians are telling you to dial it down.
..."Homer Simpson"? Because it sounds like their plants are run about as well as the one on The Simpsons.
Also there was that Galileo guy too.
(Must be all the espresso they're always drinking.)
That's it? It's 2011 dude, a few megs is nothing to worry about.

Looking back at these old screenshots of HyperCard brings back memories, but it also reminds me of Flash.
Sure, Flash is a lot more complex in many ways but the spirit seems the same.
Telecommuting doesn't make me invisible; my invisibility cloak does.
Holy shit, you're right. You know what, fuck it, I'm going to go back to using a slide rule.
Not sure if it's "real" enough for you, but Ubuntu is coming to tablets.

Many Gtk2 apps have been ported to Gtk3 -- Gedit, Shotwell, etc. Getting Gtk3 to run on a Gnome 2 desktop isn't as easy as it could have been.
The augs are already here!
...the T-Mobile store is right next to a sex shop.
The giant posters of the T-Mobile girl (her name is Carly Foulkes, btw) make me want to go to the sex shop more than they make me want to buy a phone.
I take it you've never heard of MacPorts? It's a package manager for OS X.
It's the easiest way to install MySQL and other necessities for web programming.

I still program for System 7, but only because it's ironic.
The Tea Party was bankrolled by billionaires and given nothing but positive press by certain news outlets.
The comparison is absurd.
Oh, I didn't realize only "liberals" were in favor of free speech. Thanks for enlightening us.
This.

Certainly more competition is good, especially in the mobile phone market where there's barely any.
But to trust a phone service from a country known for stifling free speech... I think you'd have to be a little crazy.
Is that the latest excuse as to why the "security solutions" out there today are complete crap?
