Can't find the chart (my google-fu is failing me), but I believe it was on/. recently, that Ubuntu popularity is declining and the Mint is the current leader in growth.
And It is freaking hard to learn too. I've been stuck with it for work-related reasons for like several month now, and I still get frustrated at how freaking hard it is to do the easiest thing. My shortcuts don't work or get overriden by some stupid defaults, like Alt+F2 to run the command, which I NEVER EVER use. I still can not figure out how switching between windows using Alt+Tab works, especially with grouping. I used to be able to easily predict where Alt+Tab will bring me, not anymore, not in Unity. And if you open several windows of the same app on different desktops, like I commonly do with a browser, switching between them is even more painful.
It took me 1 week tops to learn how to do things I need on Android phone. I can figure this stupid shit Unity in months now.
I know. It would be awesome to control when you get a heart attack or when you get hit by a car, so you can choose the time when the related services go on sale.
I blame government bureaucracy spilling over into health care for most of that.
If you compare the overhead of Medicare, (in $ per claim) to pretty much any private insurance company, you will find out that they are doing just freaking awesome, actually.
Homo Sapiens and Neandethals diet mostly consisted of fruits, vegetables and nuts, not meat. The value of meat, as a source of protein, increases as you move further north, to colder areas.
If anything, the problem with nowaday's diet is too much meat, not grains.
In our codebase method/function documentation is mandatory. I admit that this is how I document 90% of them because most often it is bloody obvious what it does and what the parameters are.
As designed, the flight computer then recomputed a new ascent profile in real time to ensure Dragon’s entry into orbit for subsequent rendezvous and berthing with the ISS. This was achieved, and there was no effect on Dragon or the cargo resupply mission.
This is something they understand very well, actually. They also understand that this is something that can be fixed and this is the reason they are bringing them to fashion shows.
Many of us have had the experience of going to Amazon to buy one thing but checking out with a huge shopping cart of items that we didn't initially seek—or even know were available.
Honestly, no idea what are you talking about. I only see ads for the stuff I JUST BOUGHT from them. Which I find pretty funny and stupid.
Honestly, I have no idea what are talking about, but I'm pretty sure you didn't fix Mr. Arrington's problem in last two days.
Now, this situation (with DHS agents being dicks and all) may change in the future and you may influence this change (a little), but the current situation is that if you are confronted like this, you have two options: swallow or go postal. If you are rich and powerful, you also have an option of getting everyone's attention, calling your powerful friends and all. I'm your average Joe Schmoe and I do not have this option.

Never thought you can get too many of those.
Snake?
The irony of this one is not lost on me.

So true it hurts :)

... I wouldn't be surprised if the big ISPs were all doing it too. ...
Yep, they do: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorm

This mission is still in progress. What they have there are called "issues" or "problems", not "failure". At least, not yet.
That's two failures in two launches.
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Did you actually look at the link? It is not just Sergey (who seem to be wearing them everywhere now), the * fashion models* are wearing glasses.

This is actually not the case. You can totally tell if the person is looking at their glass-screen.
I still think that they are über annoying though. The idea that one day they may become ubiquitous horrifies me.
Exactly. Teaching kids Java is the best way to make sure those who might have some interest in programming will lose it forever.
This may surprise you: not everybody actually enjoys going to parties.

The summary was mentioning "boyfriend", so I assumed the asker was a woman.
What if her life involves a decent amount of porn?

Are you talking to me or a straw man?
Allowed them to vote and speak freely, no?
Not very well, apparently.
Well, that was kind of the point: only rich people have real power.
