  4. Why did they adopt early? on Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What features do these early adopters badly need that is made available through this fresh release?

    Even a fresh debian-stable release needs a cool-down period before running it on anything but hobby or non-mission-critical computers.

    You'd expect quirks to come up on anything that is released to a wide public for the first time, being it windows, linux, a media-player, an instruction manual, ...

  5. Re:Well just download the ISO. on Canonical Halts Ubuntu CD Free-for-all · · Score: 1

  9. Re:How does Microsoft define what is 'explicit'? on Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content · · Score: 1

    "I doubt computer vision has reached the stage when it's easy to identify a nude."

    Or even more so; even a human can't sometimes tell the difference between a guy and a gal, until it's too late and your excitement is ruined.

  10. Re:Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator on Periodic Table Gets a New, Unnamed Element · · Score: 1

    So in the future 'intel inside' might have a double meaning.

  14. Re:Maybe they ought to change those options... on The Secret Lives of Ubuntu and Debian Users · · Score: 1

    Makes me think, how many debian users agree to install popularity-contest during installation? Also, it's probably a specific type of debian user that agrees to do so, with many other defaults kept.

  21. Three times as expensive? on Apple Laptop Upgrades Costing 200% More Than Dells · · Score: 0

    So it's three times as expensive?

    For example. 100 euro.
    200% more is 100 + 200.

    I didn't read TFA, just assuming they mean 100% more expensive.
