and Hollywood is full of crazy nut jobs with a lot of weird beliefs. I also disagree with some of Stephen Kings views, and he's in my top two favorite living/publishing authors and I keep buying his books.
I'm okay with what's happening here, because it's done by the public without government intervention, I just think the public is being a bit silly. If the government were in the middle of it I would be pissed off.
If you really want me to put Windows back on this system just to satisfy your jealous undersized Windows boner you can forget it. As far as the work systems concerned I don't want the Secret Service showing up so I've given as much info on that as I intend to.
It is slower than KDE, even in a clean state. This thing came with WIndows 7 starter, KDE is still faster.
BTW, my Atom is a dual core 1.8 Ghz 32 Bit, the work system is 3 Ghz Core 2 Duo E8400. Yes the IT department loads it down with crap, but in all fairness if you don't load a Windows system down with crap, like virus scanners and firewalls, Windows harasses you with popups until you do. My KDE install is fine without the crap. I've even disabled the pieces of junk I called out, like Nepomuk and Akonadi, it's just a pain to keep it off considering they have to be installed for dependency reasons an updates to them tend to re-enable them.
But yes, it is loaded with crap, I'll tell you which dual core it is here in a few when I get there, and it's only got 2GB or RAM, just like my netbook. Unlike my netbook it takes 15 to 20 minutes to become useful once I start the thing up.
On my netbook I just disable all effects, on my desktop I leave most of them. Not hard, only have to do it once, so rare I don't even really recall what I did, I just recall that I did it and it worked. I'm on my netbook now, and without a doubt it performs better than my work Windows 7 machine that's supposed to be more powerful.
I've been a KDE user since 1.x and a little piece here, a little piece there, it's the way it's always worked, like most OSS programs. What's the difference between that and a monthly version number?
If they get around to fixing KIO and not forcing Akondai and Nepomuk on us KDE would be completely awesome.
Part of the reason I stuck with Debian as long as I did despite the "just break it" attitude from the developers, especially near a "going stable" cram is the fact it was easier to make my own choices and decisions. Over time it's gotten easier to do that with Kubuntu, though I will say part of the reason I avoided Kubuntu for so long was at one time in history it was a lot harder to chose what software you wanted to run on it./don't know why I'm troll feeding.
Debian has had constant driver issues for me, not just SSH. I'll be cruising along using stable not testing, not experimental, but stable, do a "security update" and all of the sudden have hardware that has worked for years quit working.
Not just one system, not just one type of hardware, but random crap on every system I have at different times.
I moved to Ubuntu because I got tired of having to constantly fight and troubleshoot to keep stable running. I might run a server on Debian, one that doesn't need the use of anything outside of the traditional base hardware, but never for a desktop again.
Ubuntu is Debian for people who actually want to use their systems. Debian used to be pretty nice, but once Ubuntu came along the developers sort of gave up on having a working Debian and decided to become framework guys for Ubuntu. Debian in its current state is nearly unusable as a desktop, at least with KDE.
Not really. If you're someone "who doesn't matter" it will just be ignored and kicked under the rug. If it falls on the head of someone with some influence or close to someone who has it all of the sudden it will matter.
I don't deny having some of those in there would be a good idea, but stead of being positions 2-35 maybe start sprinkling them in around eight or nine and increasing in frequency from there?
When I walk into a generic food establishment and ask for a burrito I don't expect to hear "Hey how about our spaghetti menu?" even if it is the new product they're pushing. I expect to hear "Beef, chicken or pork?"
I of course look for technical things and get marketing results.
When I type in "Bluetooth Keyboard" I want a stupid Bluetooth Keyboard that operates on the Bluetooth Protocol and does not require that I plug an extra dongle into my machine. I do not want to be offered a single Bluetooth Keyboard followed by a dozen Logitech and Microsoft wireless keyboards where when I hit Ctrl+F the term bluetooth isn't even on the page!
Try going through the games section without even touching your keyboard to type and click through the game categories until you get Linux games. Dozens of games not compatible with Linux.
Try looking for a specific Android tablet, every other result or so is a Kindle Fire, and NOT a Transformer or whatever.
How is calling me a "typical shitfuck American racist" any less racist than calling out the people of another country on a shared attribute? Saying American in this context is no different than when I said Japanese.

Frankly, I knew this was coming.
I knew always-on DRM and shunting the region math onto the cloud was going to mean connection issues.
THEN WHY FUCK DID YOU PAY THAT MUCH FOR IT?!?!?!

Just using the netbook interface does quite a bit to make things smooth, and really works well for me.
Well, I promise it boots this version of Linux faster than it does Windows 7.

Yeah, just disable the popups - become nothing but a infestation machine.

A little over a year ago I had plenty of people agreeing with me, I've even had actual Debian developers agree with me in the past.
Maybe on the main Ubuntu - those of us who aren't Gnome Boys or Unity Users don't seem to have that problem.

it's a matter of falling on the the right persons head.
It's who they have flying these things. You would think they could do better.
Amazon does not offer alternatives when you actually order, they send you whatever you purchased.
Well, that's about 85% true anyways. I've had too many exceptions to that to agree with the statement.
Give me your wine menu!

Legal? Yes. Annoying? Certainly.
It's the parent agency to the TSA, so naturally, spread from the limb to the core, then up the supply line.
The Iron Triangle must be broken.
I can think of no government agency more deserving of being defunded, though many others should follow.
