Linux Mint has all the good plug ins and none of the weird stuff thats been happening ubuntu while still being compatible with ubuntu. The window buttons are still on the right, the start button is still on the bottom.
Linux Mint will still use GNOME for the forseeable future.
Im surprised the defense hasnt considered a "substantial non-infringing uses" defense. For instance playing backup disks and homebrew. The well known issue of scratched disks, and the desire for interoperability with non-microsoft approved software. This is separate from "fair use" in that the illegality of the mod chip itself is challenged.
One of the key parts of diplomacy requires diplomats to be able to give uncensored advice to political leaders that may offend the public or other leaders. In the long run this may reduce the quality of advice our leaders get which could have tragic consequences. Its the reason why executive priveledge exists. The most honest president the US has ever had, Grover Cleveland, fought tooth and nail for leaders being able to receive honest and confidential advice.
A leak is only good think if it serves a legitimate public interest, not merely curiousity. If your intention is merely to cause embarassment for embarassments sake then youre not a whistleblower.
My at&t DSL may only be 1.2 mbps but its a reliable 1.2 and Netflix streaming works reliably. What good is comcast's "high speed" cable internet if its a high speed road to nowhere?
It cost no lives, it significantly slowed down a fanatical dictators quest for the nuclear bomb and didnt require military action, the sacrifice of american troops or billions of dollars spent.
I switched from Windows to Linux not because Windows is terrible, but because Linux has reached the point where it has become "good enough". I can play WOW on it and install my operating system the way I want it. It has reached the point where I can find the hardware I need to run on it out of the box without having to install drivers from a CD. Everything on my compaq laptop works with Linux Mint Debian installation. Ive reached the point where if a piece of hardware isnt 100% linux out of the box compatible I just wont buy it. Yes some of the lesser name vendors, such as TP-Link, do pay attention and get customer loyalty because of it.
Do we need 100% marketshare, no. I think 10% marketshare would be the point where I can go into best buy and the salesman can say "Yep this printer works with linux" because there would be a "Linux certified" sticker on it not because hes an ubergeek.
The GUI is nice but people switch when they say to you "Hey all my stuff works with this...are you sure this is free????"
You dont have to feed cows grain- Grass fed beef is healthier and natives grasses grows
over large parts of the United States. If you know any people who can digest grass let me know.
Grain fed beef is only popular because its cheap, but grass-fed beef is healthier and less prone to ecoli in addition to being more humane.

Article VI section 1 clause 2
Is that clear enough???
Ratified Treaties are superior to any state laws. The only exception to a treaty being imposed on states would be something that would invoke a 10th amendment issue which is provided for in the supremacy clause anyway.
Imagine a science fiction book with ads for science fiction magazine or a book about learning about
computers that came with ads for newegg. Technology doesnt have to suck just because it can.
The idea that student achievement can be defined by standardized tests that themselves test rote learning not critical thinking is kinda silly. Giving a child 21st century technology to do 19th century work is pointless. However if there is an integrated technology-oriented curriculum and testing to observe THOSE objectives then the results might be very different.
Except that Tommy Lee Jones only strapped himself to the rocket to stop armed nukes from coming back to eath. A person that had a year to live and could make the trip in 3 months could be around long enough to get things going. We are talking about a 1 way controlled trip not a crash down.
Someone would probably sue them and win for copyright fraud. Considering big media corporation dont want to have to pay some
english government agency for photos of things like Big ben and parliament this is a suit which would soon have massive media support.
I wish Linux and openoffice had been the motivator. Google Apps and gmail is to be given credit for this one. Microsoft is scared s--tless of google apps because its catching on in the enterprise where Microsoft's bread and butter is. If lower tier workers can use google and google apps for 90% of their work then their bosses will figure out how to shift the other 10% on to others. It also deprives them of revenue from Outlook when google hosts email on their servers.

The X-37 proved they could have a shuttle successor without the cost, politics and without Orrin hatch telling them what they had to buy.

Microsoft Gear head: Those wacky open source guys have hacked our kinect controller so it will work with linux
Microsoft PHB: Thats outrageous! We'll have them arrested
Microsoft Marketing: Doesnt that mean they will buy our Kinect controller at $120 each and we dont even have to support it.
Microsoft PHB: Yes it does, Im a genius!
These chess terminators they dont feel pity, or fear , or remorse and they absolutely will not stop until you are checkmated!

A HD roku box with n wireless is $99 which is about the same as the cost of a Windows 7 OEM dvd.
It would be funny if it werent at least somewhat true

What is funny, is that 2500 scientists attended that convention but only 400 voted on that measure.

We might all be running a unix based AmigaOS and listening to our Apods ;-)
Remember that Commodore 64 program? :)
With platinum friends like Oracle on the linux foundation who needs enemies.

Who needs a botnet to make Microsoft an ineffective communicator when they have Steve Ballmer.

Philippines before 1946 was a US territory and was invaded and occupied by the Japanese for 2 years during WWII.

With optical scan there is a paper trail so theres less temptation to screw things up.
