If there were new features being introduced I would expect an exponential increase in open issues. The earlier in the design process issues are identified, the easier they are to fix. Just says to me there is a basic problem with how software is developed in general, whether it is the tools or procedures or the human resources at whichever level. It has always happened which means we're not doing it right. Glad we're not building bridges. I am currently developing something mechanical, using software and embedded and machinery, I've tried various different approaches over 6 months, with mixed results. I'm not pushed by clients, who will get my produced output when I fecking feel they can have it. But it will be right when it hits the shelves. It's a luxury not many get. I'm not driven by profit, I am loving what I do.
Next will be phone login and using the camera to verify you have the phone, face or fingerprint, even retina scan ? Might give Google all knowledge about you, but at least it will be guaranteed identification. It will make people feel more secure about online transactions, etc.
Always used mbox format, got 7 years emails right here, immediately accessible, before that on an old hard drive, same format, easy to load, backed up in annual mbox files. Easy job for grep, or just open with Thunderbird and sort/search.
The more de-identified data aggregated the easier to rebuild identity. Data mining is all about finding a needle in a haystack, extracting coherency from apparent chaos.
I use Linux because I am free to use it the way I want and it is trusted because source is available. I expect DRM will get wedged into systemd so you can't avoid Big Brother. Linux will then be a "Trusted OS" because proprietary DRM code will be running underneath everything we do. You will not be able to stop it without breaking all the applications which play video, music, download files, etc. I do not trust Hollywood to be in my system, watching my every move. If everything is tied together in a binary it can't be avoided.
Between Brisbane and Gold Coast Australia Under 1,000 people, on the bay, friendly town best boating and fishing 1/2 hour to the surf 2 great pubs rural, sugar cane area, tank water good real estate prices commute to city or coast but I work from home between 2 international airports, 2 casinos.......
I watched an IT (manufacturing and research) company slowly die. Started with printed circuit boards from Hong Kong, then they arrived stuffed and flow soldered, then they arrived machine tested, then the repairs were done over there, then new systems were developed in China.
With each cost saving a few more people were made redundant, until they just had a manager, accountant and secretary.
Everything good in this world is in the market - Bullshit !!!!! We can't let greed control greed - it don't work !!!!! Australia's carbon tax, which was repealed by the worlds worst leader, is the way to go. If our dick head prime minister said it's bad, it must be really good !!!!!
Hurt the bastards bottom line - profit, it's the only thing companies and share holders understand. Make their products - e.g. coal fired electricity production, uneconomic and more expensive than clean, green electricity. Make shipping products half way around the world more expensive than local production. Make the petrochemical industries uneconomic. Put a real cost on digging big f___ing holes in the ground. Recycle the materials we already have in the system. Put a real price on international air travel to stop people wastefully flying across the globe for no good reason. Tax road transport per kilometer. Green companies get savings from their efficiency and give increased profits. We get cheap or free solar electricity, after paying off your solar system it is ostensibly free.
Of course it's costing 95% for support and maintenance, there are no licensing or purchase costs. Would that last 5% be hardware costs, management costs, biscuits for morning tea ?
When is a commercial EHR system not proprietary and when is an open source electronic health record system proprietary ?
Governments all over the world are busting to give OUR money away to big corporations !!!
Projections of $11B over 18 years, who's a betting man ? will it double or triple over the 18 years ???
The health department system implemented in Queensland, Australia was a total balls up. IBM ?
If you want to do it properly, make cuts in the fiber and multiple breaks or blocks in the conduits. It's one thing to repair a break, another to pull a new section of fiber, but if you have to dig up and replace conduits the job just got a whole lot bigger. Do it out in the bush and you disconnect whole cities or states.
As you can see, MUSIC can get you pretty fucked up...
Now you see, some places in the Third World it might be difficult to dance to this because the kerosene record player is not a very efficient device...And a lot of times they run out of, they run out of spunk right in the middle of the chorus...
We suggest that in places like the Fourth World where things are really tough that you keep the record player going by rubbing two sticks together. And if all else fails, throw the record away...
They're pretty good musicians But it don't make no difference If they're good musicians Because anybody who would buy this record Doesn't give a fuck if there's good musicians On it Because this is a stupid song AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT
Our power company is paying only 6c/kwh. It's not worth it to charge up someone elses fecking electric car. A smart grid isn't required, it's happening anyway with a dumb network. More panels in a local LV network gives a better proportion of solar going into all your neighbours. Governments are only taking care of rich pricks. It's up to people to lead the way, it's helping your neighbours, it's a community thing. Think globally, act locally. I'm getting some NiFe batteries.
We used to take it in turns making coffee for everyone. Pick up the tray, go around pick up everyone's cups, list of preferences in the tea room, return with coffees and cookies. You get to know everyone, have a quick chat, stay wired all day, get away from the screen, move around. But the main thing is keeping up the communications.
Every day I go to different locations for work on major and minor roads. I look up Google most nights and apart from recent development work everything is right where it should be. Including boundaries, power poles, storm drain access covers, pits, substations, railings, pram ramps, gutters, condition and width of shoulders. I can even look up power poles and get an idea of fittings and condition. Too bad for you Boo Boo, it's bloody great for me.
Ripping out a couple of fibre optic cables has the same effect, as happened with severe storms in Australia. I'm sure one disenfranchised pleb could easily create the same mayhem, US corporations have the most to loose. And if a few plebs got organised ??? The rest of the world is laughing at the NSA.
I'd put it down to world wars I & II which caused a massive acceleration in development of all types including land and air transport, computers, electronics, nuclear. The nuclear bomb coincided with jet flight, the transistor was 2 years later. And much of this development started with the industrial revolution in the 1800s. It was also a time when women were prominent in industry and the war effort, suffraget late 1800s to women's liberation 1960s effectively doubled the working population and changed society. Nuclear is an event which wasn't causal but only a useful marker. It's just another fuck-up by the industrial age but I'd feel the petrochemical/plastics industry has had a much more pivotal and destructive effect than nuclear.
I'm in Queensland Australia. We have the VLAD laws Vicious_Lawless_Association_Disestablishment_Act A biker used to live around the corner from us. His home and everything has been taken as proceeds of crime, it is now a construction zone ? fenced off, no entry. He's probably in gaol. And that's just for being a biker. All so the conservative state government can be seen to be hard on crime.

A biker used to live around the corner from us.
His home and everything has been taken as proceeds of crime, it is now a construction zone ? fenced off, no entry.
He's probably in gaol.
And that's just for being a biker.

"Unfortunately the desktop stability leaves a lot to desire: "
Sounds like the way they have done unstable releases since KDE 1, put me off KDE for good.
What's the rush ?
