And who exactly is going to pay for this? If your system is not infected can you be exempted from a "monthly fee" or is it punishing everyone when Windows is the majority of infections? Maybe Microsoft should pay for it all?
I installed it yesterday. It works fine. No griping = no problems. The only issue I had was I had to reinstall the package containing the key for "ubuntu-extras-addons" as the installer did not do that correctly. On launchpad I found the solution and it has already been fixed for when the release is official. So, good stable release - for me at least - and no big show-stoppers to gossip about yet!
Funny, I didn't realize I was included in your "us." Cry a river and go submit a Fedora story. If it makes it through the gauntlet like this story has then good, otherwise stop crying over sour grapes.
... Example: someone asks me to code up something in OpenMP to do XYZ efficiently, on a platform with 256G memory. My first effort *should* work, but it keeps blowing out memory. So I code versions 2, 3, 4, and 5. In the meantime the requirements have changed, because the person I'm working for is also a scientist, and she's learned something new, and would like slightly different capabilities. I finally get something that appears to work, and then I wrote a few system-level test....
So, the history of humanity could end with: On 24th of July, 2023: Testing Device A147 achieved Singularity status. It quickly reprocessed in a sustained manner unknown to humans the entire mass of Earth. Humanity ended and a new node was born?
I'm talking about the news. Whenever a terrorist act is committed anywhere on the globe news immediately seeks to attribute it to "Al-Qaeda." The multitude of viewpoints and reasons for all the terrorists are lumped under a single umbrella. All terrorism has been reduced to "Al-Qaeda" and since it is all that name there is no reason to think about the name. Just think what your government wants you to think. Have you ever questioned why the terrorists hate us so? Their attacks are on Western ideals and Freedoms. It appears they are winning for now.
No matter which particular branch of government performs the action: We have always been at war with Al-Qaeda. Mr. Orwell was an optimist, he thought it would happen early.
Please don't think that Freedom is intrinsic. Looking at government is always looking into the business end of a gun. Sometimes that end is painted nice and is reasonable. Other places, not so much: that's why it's important, here, now, to preserve the pretty paint of the US governments business end.
Yes, the hysteria is starting to fade a bit but in the meantime departments such as Homeland Security have grown into unwieldy beasts. I hope you Americans reclaim your civil freedoms soon: you know the ones that have been eroded in the "War on Terror." Terror to who? The occasional nut they do catch or the millions inconvenienced every day just trying to get on a plane? Secret lists... I could go on, the point is stop cowering and be Free again.
If I ever had to take a polygraph test I would do so under one condition: I get to add one question to the test at the beginning. The question would be: "Can this machine tell if I am lying?"
This is where you get into naming such as "GNU/Linux" when talking about the combination of GNU compilers and utilities with the Linux kernel. Often, the essential GNU parts lose their distinction and people just call it "Linux." I personally just say Linux too but Linux depends heavily on GNU.
The buttons default to the left with the Ambiance and Radiance themes right now. If you select the other themes the buttons go back to the right automatically. No command line voodoo involved for less-seasoned users.
F/OSS is reimplementing quite a few areas to make that code compatible with itself. On top of that base there are also quite a few innovative and novel F/OSS initiatives already.
Linux is a kernel. This means it's part is a dispatch and control mechanism for the operating system as a whole. The complete operating system includes other things such as libraries and utilities to name some. Correct me if I'm wrong?
This is such a disaster. Someone please provide links: I know that even now after the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska there is ongoing environmental damage and hardship for the people who live in the area. From that example, speculate on what will happen in the Gulf.
That is true and exposes another aspect: values. I value my freedom to set my own course and not have it dictated to me. However, a further subtlety is if your input supported the conclusion would you believe you had your "freedom" when you did not and are therefore contained within the desired output of another?
In the future I will specify further the context of what I am saying.
The conclusion of that statement I believe is what provides the relevance:
Beware those who would deny you access to information for in their heart they dream themselves your master.
What do you think about this statement as it relates to human nature? If you agree that seeking to control information is seeking to control thought is seeking to control action then shutting down Google says something about the nature of Turkey as an entity.
Can I be blamed for others lack of critical thought? The quote begins:
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century...
Anyone who is thinking as they read instead of blindly ploughing through the words would have realized that Earth has not reached it's final century yet?
That is a valid point. At the same time we must look forward and to do so we need guides. Extrapolation is one of those guides. The quotes on that page represent a coherent package that are relevant to current human issues and are therefore useful for extrapolation given our current world.

So does whoever modded you "informative" get to get sued too? Serious question!

Since you brought it up, here is a link: Common Sense.

It may be flamebait, yes, BUT there is a measure of truth in that post.

Now your just being pedantic.

Obviously I post mostly elsewhere where people think about what they are reading. I remember when Slashdot wasn't an idiot-fest.

What do you think it says?
Please specify what William Shatner telling Star Trek fans to "get a life" has to do with fiction containing truth as well as fiction?
Can I be blamed for others lack of critical thought? The quote begins:
;)
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century...
Anyone who is thinking as they read instead of blindly ploughing through the words would have realized that Earth has not reached it's final century yet?
And it was fully sourced too..
That is all leading up to the conclusion: Beware those who would deny you access to information for in their heart they dream themselves your master.
Do you not think with human nature in mind this has a degree of truth to it?
That is a valid point. At the same time we must look forward and to do so we need guides. Extrapolation is one of those guides. The quotes on that page represent a coherent package that are relevant to current human issues and are therefore useful for extrapolation given our current world.
