Just how many people have the last name "420" or "Fourtwenty", or a first name like "Saskboy"? The policy is bullshit and applied on the whim of power mad Facepolice, not an *implemented* or *enforced* policy. As far as I'm concerned, the drag queens were being persecuted for their lifestyle, not because they were using "fake" names.
If I didn't need that Windows boot to run Oracle and Sybase ASE, that box would have been reformatted and reinstalled with Debian or Ubuntu this afternoon.
Recently I was having trouble with my Debian box, an old 3.8GHz single core creaker. So I shifted my emails, my personal data, and my development tasks over to run on my Windows 7 laptop.
That was two weeks ago to the *day*. Today I had to do a system restore because some drive by hit it (even with Adblock Plus running, as well as firewalls, anti-virus, and a hardware firewall.) My folk's Windows 8 system got hit twice, and the 8.1 upgrade has been hit once -- and they don't *do* surfing, other than a half dozen reputable websites, and their email and games. So they are *not* going to porn sites or anyplace else famous for infections.
Today I was so frosted over the drive-by forcing me to waste an hour recovering the machine that I took another stab at addressing the overheating CPU on my Linux creaker, and discovered I could unclip the fan from the CPU cooler so I could clean out the cooler fins *properly.* That box is over 10 years old now, and since I switched to Linux, it's been disabled exactly ONCE -- and that because Ubuntu's upgrade process couldn't deal with a running DB/2 UDB instance in the startup scripts and crapped out *horribly*, leaving the box corrupt (I've been on Debian since.)
Windows?
I don't give a rat's fat ass what version number MicroSquishy uses. Windows is CRAPWARE and there is no way on Earth I will EVER use a Windows box as a general surfing platform again. Running builds and compiles in a restricted environment? Playing music? Sure.
But let it loose on the Internet again? Never. Ever. EVER.
Note that the article and book discuss what educated theologians think, not what the followers think.
Philosophy and "what if" questioning are a big part of religious educations. The general public, not really.
So while the Pope and Dalai Llama might be willing to welcome ET with open arms, wingnuts like Westoboro Baptist are going to have apoplectic fits about "devils" and "demons."
Nice theory, but you're assuming the dashboard is only as big as the screen. That's a very poor assumption, especially if the user is on a 720p display. As to printing out the web page, I've had no end of problems printing out dynamically-generated pages over the years.
There must be a lot of overly sensitive Gnome developers here today. I crack wise about how I feel about Gnome 3, and that's "flamebait" because the poor nancy-boys can't handle the fact that their GUI *does* suck farts off dead chickens in August. And if you've ever smelt a rotting dead chicken in the August heat, you'd know just how vile and revolting that description is.
And if you've ever tried to use Gnome 3, you know how accurate that description is.
Another fool who thought people would be impressed by their PhD.
Get over yourself. Nobody outside of the research world gives a shit. In fact, most companies will avoid interviewing or hiring you because you're going to expect higher pay for your education while having spent less time learning the craft of programming than someone who got into the job market after their BSc. (or equivalent.)
It's only a matter of time until lazy-assed system admins create installation packages (aka "distros") that include exactly what should be running on a particular VM.
I mean, FFS, what the hell does the OP expect? For the world to do his job for him?
You can find "proof" of anything you want to on the internet. That doesn't make it true or real. Religion and ghost stories are the fantasies of idle minds, and nothing more. There isn't a single tale of religion that is substantiated by facts, especially Judeo-Christian-Muslim. Oh, sure, Mohammad existed, but he was a freakin' delusional schizophrenic who convinced his followers his fantasies were the "word of God."

This is what you want. :P
Doh! I was thinking Erlang, where the result of the last statement in the code is the result returned to the caller. *LOL*
And if the details generated are:
?
I have. And my car was seized.
Why shouldn't yours be?
Oh yeah.
You're "special".
Fortunately bozos like this doofus only have jurisdiction over a couple of square miles of land, not the entire global internet.
Wanker.
Stop sitting on your phone, fatass! :P
To me, the fact that I don't know who they are tells me all I need to know about how successful they've been at launches...
Angry? No. I just think it's a crap UI, so I stick with KDE on Linux boxen.
I guess they want to make it illegal to protect yourself and your data from intruders and thieves.
Zieg Heil, Mein Fuhrer!

Reports can be saved. You can't save your current view of a dashboard.
The comment on "multi-touch" tells me all I need to know about this release: it's targetted at touch screens.
Not "normal" desktops.
No wonder Gnome 3 sucks so heinously. It's the Linux version of Windows 8.

Communications from planetary surfaces, anyone?
Hunh.
And here I always thought it was about entertaining me with an engrossing "what if..." story.

Regardless of the distro, I install KDE and I'm good to go. The only thing I use the "default" GUI for is any tools that aren't portable.

The campfire gave rise to two things that permeate human society: religion and ghost stories.
Unfortunately, both are about equally grounded in reality and truth.
