  1. Re:And... on Pacific Northwest At Risk For Mega-Earthquake · · Score: 1

    My post does not relate to the value or cost of one human life, or many human lives. I am merely comparing the cost to improve current infrastructure vs. the cost to let it all fail and bring in new population and infrastructure. The first is a finite cost laid out now. The second is more variable and also paid out over an extended time period (hence more desirable).

    Very true, however The March of Dimes was originally founded to fight Polio and succeeded in mostly eradicating it, but they are still around, albeit with a modified mission.

    why kubuntu, when OpenSUSE put so much love into their KDE distribution? Plus, yast is a godsend for console only computers.

    Let's be honest, God run's OpenSUSE, so it just works when he plugs in a second display or a projector. Plus, he also gets KDE.

    I too have had problems with Ubuntu, it's why I keep going back to OpenSUSE, their distribution is much stabler IMHO.

    You're dreaming. We've had 15 years to invent an "even better solution". There isn't one. Quit living in denial, you're starting to look silly.

  19. Re:your first sentence is technically flawed on Ubuntu on a Dime · · Score: 1

    The only benefit I have found to debian or ubuntu is the sheer number of packages. Chances are almost anything has a .deb or is included in a repository somewhere. Developers usually target debian.

    OpenSUSE is working on that, their build services are nice and zypper is as good as apt-get now. But sometimes the packages aren't there and you have to build from source.

    OpenSUSE uses zypper now, it works as well or better then apt-get.
