You've concluded causation from what is merely correlation. It could be that the act of clueless politicians listening to equally clueless, or just evil, economic advisers is the cause that leads to both high debt loads and lower economic growth.

The null hypothesis is that fancy tech would have an overhead. If you're going to claim it doesn't, then you need to provide the independent studies verifying that claim.
Agreed - this *should* seriously harm Ubuntu's position within businesses. I have instigated a "no ubuntu on any company machines, or machines on the company's network" policy now - I simply can't have confidential information (even things as simple as names of prospective clients, for example) being inadvertently leaked through careless searches. A bulletin went around to all employees as soon as I heard of this decision, it was a very easy one to make.
I never liked the dumbing down that Ubuntu brought to the linux desktop anyway; to be honest I couldn't care less if these latest decisions bury them, it looks like mint is getting good press as an alternative.

You simply couldn't be much more wrong. Just because you are ignorant of your rights doesn't mean you haven't had them violated by DRM. Handy hint - try "fair use" in your favourite search engine.

Ug - by "settle out", I don't mean "form clearly identifiable layers like oil on water", there would be transitions of different gas density mixtures (in the same way as there are varying molecular speed for each of the different molecules in the mix). The fastest moving CO2 would end up higher than the slowest moving N2. (However, it would happily share its higher energy with the lighter mass molecules it collides with, and eventually end up lower again.)
The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is your friend.
Nice, but simplifying matters, and perhaps misleading. Gasses of different densities are *perfectly* happy to settle out. It's only the continual stirring of things like what we locally call weather that makes them mostly homogeneous in the layer above the earth's surface most of us experience. The words "homosphere" and "heterosphere" thus got their names. I can't do better than wackypedia, so I'll just lift the pertinent section: """ Above the turbopause at about 100 km (62 mi; 330,000 ft) (essentially corresponding to the mesopause), the composition varies with altitude. This is because the distance that particles can move without colliding with one another is large compared with the size of motions that cause mixing. This allows the gases to stratify by molecular weight, with the heavier ones such as oxygen and nitrogen present only near the bottom of the heterosphere. The upper part of the heterosphere is composed almost completely of hydrogen, the lightest element. """
The reason we do not suffocate is not because gases do not separate out, it is because we have not just a source of O2 and a sink of CO2, but also constant stirring.
What complete nonsense. If you want to know what the *intention* of DNT was, look at the RFC. Notice how it explicitly states that what poeple claim MS is doing is valid behaviour. If you're going to point at the version of the DNT standard which was released only a few weeks ago, then you will find that it supports your PoV, but if you look at any prior version, all the way back to the RFC, you will see that it does not support your PoV. And I would say that for deciding the *intent* of the standard, the prior versions together weigh more heavily than the single most recent shilled-up version.
According to all reports I've read, before IE10 ever sends even one DNT=true header, right on first use, it asks the user whether s/he wants to be tracked, and therefore it *is* an explicit user preference. So MS aren't even breaking the current version of the spec. It is already doing the "fix" you ask it to do.
I am amazed that I'm supporting MS, as I abhor almost everything about them, but this anti-MS nonsense is based on so much misinformation I am morally obliged to support them in this single issue.
Downmod parent. It is predicated upon an absurd falsity - namely that there is a single standard.
It's a document in its draft form, there are new versions every few months. To pretend that there is one single absolute set of rules or guidelines which may be called "the standard" is naive at best, and disingenuous at worst. In particular, the "defaults" section is changing with every single draft. The most recent (only a matter of weeks back, IIRC) says the default must be 'no user preference set'. The previous version didn't say that. A prior version said "DNT=true" may be a browser default.
However, you're right that ultimately the users will have to take matters into their own hands, and can't expect corporations to look after their interests for them.
Like MS, you're behind the times. W3C have changed the standard in the most recent draft. The fact that this change was published months after Fielding (on the W3C committee) posted his patch to the Apache server making it ignore IE10's DNT=true setting is I'm sure pure coincidence.
False - they followed the standard. Then somebody on the standards committee (Fielding, presumably) *changed* the standard.
Look at the date stamps on the released versions of the W3C standards - look at the minutes of the meetings of the committee. If you have more than half a brain you will notice that the change between the most recent version and the previous version of the standard - which *did not* have the default clause you seem to think has been there for ever - was not discussed in any meeting.
The WC3 is being influenced by shills. I'd put money on there being some Yahoo! input on the W3C committee.
Nope. Or 'yes but not only there'. Which is why they're secure, as if anyone changes anything there, it will immediately clash with the rest of the world. They're stored in *every single copy* of the git repository in the world.
I personally have 8 copies of them, for example. (linux-arm, linux-omap, linux-2.6, plus 2 private trees for $DAYJOB each on my old work laptop, linux-2.6 plus one private tree on my current work laptop, and linux-2.6 on my home workstation.)

"high debt loads lead to lower economic growth"
You've concluded causation from what is merely correlation. It could be that the act of clueless politicians listening to equally clueless, or just evil, economic advisers is the cause that leads to both high debt loads and lower economic growth.
You're right. And Apple never did any "And I'm a PC" adverts aimed at making PC owners feel like they had an inferior product.
Meanwhile on planet reality...

"Raising the bar" makes something harder. That might not be what you want for a desktop interface!

Yeah, but at least this one could be a *cyberwar* on cybercrime, so you don't need to condemn lots of young Americans to mandatory suicide.
