    eh, i'm not too worried about automation, most jobs don't actually produce tangible results. couple billion extra billion people wasting resources like we do is a little scary tho. i try not to think about it.

    it's not racist, it's simply selfishness. there are billions of unemployed people in the world that would do your job for food and a shitty place to stay. if we had to compete in a fair market 90% of currently employed people in "first world" countries would have a massive drop in wage

  5. Re:Hilarious excuses on A Proposal To Fix the Full-Screen X11 Window Mess · · Score: 1

    heh, i was gonna argue with you but i sensed an informed argument and rtfa, i completely agree. the only thing i would add is if monitors are disconnected/connected probably icons should snap back. icons that did not exist should pick the closest icon that did exist the last time that screen set up was used and try to stay with it (optional of course)

    yeah, i'm sure repositioning icons every 30 minutes or so will bring systems to their knees

    actually ubuntu's distro names are way easier than others, they're on a six month release cycle coming out at the end of april and october so the latest version has to be 12.04. who bothers remembering those stupid code names?

    i'm not disagreeing, i'm genuinely interested in the response: Is sql99 that important? no-one follows database standards so if postgres does doesn't that mean that they're still different to every other database platform out there?
