I always drive leased cars, using 3 or 4 years contracts. I now drive a Toyota, leased by Toyota Financial, I always check it for regular maintenance at the same dealership that leased it to me. If there's a problem with the car, it's Toyota's problem...
Wishful thinking. There's a lot of stuff around that's 50 years old and is already lost in obsolescence. Conversely, there's plenty of stuff from the middle aged (paper, stone) that is perfectly accessible today...
You're taking the phrase "Can someone please stone Yasmin Alibhai-Brown to death?" out of its context. Therefore your conclusions have no ground.
Also, are you sure that I won't get out of my house after reading your post and shoot my neighbour to death, and then tell the police that I did it because I read your post? You see, I could be the nutbag out of hundreds of thousands of people reacting to your Slashdot post in a way you could not possibly have imagined.
I think you're right!!!
Poste Italiane, the State-owned postal service, has become a bigger mess than before. They used to just (try to) deliver mail. Now they want to be a bank, mail order business, they sell high-risk investment funds to steal money from senior people like any other bank. And finally, they outsourced most of the mail delivery services to DHL and others. Finally they can focus on try to steal money with the excuse of "software bugs"...What a misery!
Inquisitions, crusades, witch burnings, pogroms, blood libel, financial parasitism, subjugation of women, repression of science, burning of scientists at the stake, abandonment of adherents, general pillage, jihads, flying aircraft into buildings, suicide bombers...All these things have more to do with violence, ignorance and control than religion.
Do you really think that if you took religion away, we humans would become "better" and stop being violent and ignorant?
Now, I agree with you that religion sometimes does not help in making people free... But I believe that a bigger issue is ignorance and violence
According to TFA you spend that much for a solid state drive and save a whoooooping 0.04 KG in weight compared to a traditional hard drive - and you get much much smaller storage capacity. The weight difference is less then a feather!!!!!
Unless the solid state drive increase the battery life significantly, I see no sense at all in buying this kind of machines...
..And about bureaucracy. To the eyes of EU politicians this is just an opportunity for more taxpayers' money to be spent (read: wasted) and for more *political* power.
There are some many smarter and cheaper alternatives to fusion... but why endorse them when fusion costs a thousand times more?
Good to have a new tool to install RPM packages on Fedora. The more the merrier.
But what I want is cross-distro packages. That would be really useful: how many times I needed that package from kde-apps.org, but I could not install it because it was only available for SuSe and Mandrake and not for Fedora!!!
Well, actually I could install it if I was a serious hacker (take the scr package and hack it so that it works on Fedora), but I am not.
Cross-distro would be very useful for developers too. Supply just one src package and your application can be compiled and installed on Suse, Mandrake, Fedora...
Please read the article on cross-distro pkgs referenced in the news post. Here's the text, in case of/.ing.
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate & document to see if it's possible to create src.rpm packages that can be compiled on different distributions. The current Linux distribution landscape features a large number of distributions, each serving their own goal / purpose. All of these distributions contain core functionality, which is maintained by the respective distribution builder. Next to this core functionality, users often require more functionality. Often users compile software on their distribution or produce rpm packages. Unfortunately, this work often needs to be repeated for every distribution because of lacking packaging standards
At the moment the cost is 5 billion euros. This figure will obviously triple during the/eventual/ construction of the bridge.
Could you immagine what can be done with that kind of money. I mean, if we Italians were not so stupid!
Right now, people leaving in Messina have water for 2 days in a week. That's right: Sicily is dry. And that's because the piping system is probably centuries old. Meanwhile, local mafioso steal water from the public system and sell it to whoever can afford to pay.
That's what's going on in Sicily at the moment.
Come on! We we Italians want to build the longest bridge for the benefit of Sicilians?...
Or for me to... ON???

In Italy shops are bound to sell to whomever steps in... If they object for frivolous reasons then customers can call the police
The mayor of Florence is really pushing this on media - he's a major "bischero" who - just like any other politician - can't get enough attention

How can people vote the above comment as "insightful"? You've got to be joking!...
Nothing new. Take Italy for instance. MP and State Secretaries have run the mafia from within the system for decades!
ABSOLUTELY

"Modern science was started by the Catholic church".
Now really what did you smoke? The catholic church tried to KILL science for centuries!!!
Just look at the recent financial news: Apple is making tons of $$$, Nokia is in the red.
Next thing, Nokia sues Apple.
Coincidence?
I think NOT!
What I saw in the Avatar teaser was HALO Vs World of Warcraft...Men with big guns fighting the elves...
Priority should be given to European software houses.
Americans would do the same with European software.
Amen!

You have a point.
Last time I checked, price of several food sources have gone up due to Ethanol increased use in automotive gas.

English is not my mother tongue, so forgive me for asking: shouldn't it be "its payload"..?

Did not expect that from somebody whose nick-name is InfiniteWisdom...And actually I bet that the Spanish is more popular than you think.
