I still don't agree. It may be excessive, but the natural reaction of people is to fight the boring work, and it is a great opportunity to learn that just doing it will make the problem go away.
But again, I can agree that it is too much and too early.
Hey, I did not try Google News all this time... It looks interesting. It's organized, no lame scripts, and it discovered before me what the people working at the other side of my building just did:)
If it keeps this way, two big brazilian newspapers just lost a reader.
Sounds like the author describing Genius is more a fan of fascists than humanitarians -- but I doubt one group has a monopoly on Genius.
I'd bet into the humanitarians having a overwhelming majority of them. But then, the author looks much more like somebody that only knows a psycopath from the TV (or, more likely can't identify one) than a fan of them.
Well, I did just the amount of homework required to have a passing grade, and compensated it on the exams. (That's for the homework that counted toward my grades, the rest I just ignored and took the respective warnings.)
But then, I was wrong in doing that. Every great thing you may want to do requires huge amounts of mindblowing boring work, and doing boring work is moething that we learn, it's not inate. I could have learned it by the time I was at school, but passed the chance.
Your post goes only to show that Ubunu clearly have image problems. In a way, they always had, but it was restricted to the same people that care if it is getting less open now. Nowadays, they've annoyed so many people, that the old time haters are outspoken, and can't even have a coherent conversation between the newby haters.
Ok, inside the topic, people always complained that Ubuntu was too closed, and that it was getting even more closed, except for a small period, when they started to cooperate with Debian. In fact, it doesn't seem to be getting more closed, it installs closed softwre by default (it has always done that), it mixes closed software with proprietary in their repos (again, as always), it installs software with a big risk of being sued for infringing patents by default (not new), it gets money from private entities (as always), it customizes a few things the way its patrons like (that's new, it used to inherit patronized customizations).
Personaly, except for installing too much closed software by default, I don't care about any of the above. And even the proprietary software, I care about it mostly because it is low quality, and wouldn't care if I could just ignore it.
Our last president spent some time in Iran promising friendship, and the current one didn't do anything to change that... But, as I said, the Iran governors would be stupid if they trusted in our politician's words.
Venezuela also likes to go against the US only when it doesn't count. If things get any bit serious, Chaves shuts-up and lets it pass.
I'm not sure if most of Africa or South America really care either way.
You can count on the current Brazilian government to support every tiranical nutjob out there... But only untill it matters, so, despite our government declaring its support for Iran a few months ago, I don't think we'll ever help them. You can expect the rest of South America, excluding Paraguay to follow into doing nothing. Paraguay probably won't even care to reply.
Know what bothers me? People like the GP saying something akin to "The Pi uses a proprietary blob! That's bad! Go buy this completely proprietary system instead."
We know that they exist, and now it seems that we know that they rotate. (Ok, "know" may be too strong a word, we have empiric confirmation of both. With some certainty that is smaller than 1, of corse.) My question was if we have any empiric confirmation that black holes have hair.
I asked it because last time I saw anything about it, there were only speculation either way.
They are still good. As far as I know, MS is the best brand of keyboard and mice on the market (I may be wrong, since a while ago I decided to give up and stop trying brands).
The only catch is that you shouldn't plug Microsoft devices on Windows. Their drivers are really bad, and you'll get better results of not-as-good hardware from other brands. On Linux they are still number 1.
Slow peace of innovation was the normal situation of the tose times, in fact, the hyperinflation period saw a much faster peace of innovation than any period prior to it (also something normal). The lack of democratic government, well, those were praticaly invented after the fact, so there is no way you can attribute any change to it.
We are left with the endless wars. I can't really rule them out.
There are plenty of feasibility studies already done, and published for anyone that looks for them. It is not feasible.
We are still strugling with H isotopoes, that are much, much, much easier to work with than He. They are still not feasible either. Also, as soon as we make power from H isotopes feasible, He won't be needed for a very long time.
That docking station is a possibility, in that it has a non-zero chance of happening... But I wouldn't count on it either.
Part of the revolution we are living at the IT world is that computers are getting cheaper and cheaper. Now, why again would you want to have your home appliances useless when your mobile is not on reach? If it is to save money, forget it, because you won't.
That bothers me way more than it should. When I lived alone, if fixed that problem by two unrelated algorithms (makin the pile behave like a queue was just too much work):
1 - You can just turn your stacks upside down once in a while. If that is not enough to cycle through all your shirts, you have too many shirts. 2 - You can always postpone washing untill you have no other option. That ensures equal wear to all your shirts.
Yep, that doesn't work. People soon decide that you root for a team, and sudenly you are in the club of people that must know what your team is doing. Then you change your team, and people either assume that you root for two teams (ok, but rare), or that you changed teams (a mortal offense), and you are in an even worse shape.
The best way to deal with professional sports is just telling people "well, I don't really care about it", and when they ask, "How so? How can you not care about X?!?!" you just reinforce "I just don't care". Don't try to explain, don't be sarcastic, don't try to optimize anything, don't ever say anything beyond that.
That. They discovered the collor of the cat's fur, without measuring if it is dead or alife. Thus, the cat is still 1/sqrt(2)*(dead; alife), but it is definitively black.
And quantum mechanics go on well alife, despite TFS calling it dead.
Whatever they inventory problems are, if I get to their site to choose a model, and there are 2000 models to choose from, I'm going to their competition. If I choose a model, but can't buy it because of geographical restrictions, and this repeats a few times, I'm going to the competition. If I see a model at a store, but I can't find that model anywhere else to compare, I won't trust it, and I'm going to the competition. If I can't find a review about the model I've choosen... Well, you got the idea.
The government has no danm business into saying what bus I can or can not take. Except that people here don't complain about big government like in the US, they just ignore it.

And now I must ask. If it is becomming more open to closed source software, is it more or less open?
Because I can think of some arguments for "more", some arguments for "less", but I'm tending to aswer "the two aren't related at all".

Yes, they are. Is that an excuse to bulshit people into getting proprietary systems?
How was that not what you said?

It this a known fact, or speculation?

The more protons and less neutrons you have on your nuclei, the harder it is to fuse them.
The easiest reaction of all is: D + T -> He3 + n.

You have a point.
After entire minutes just trying hats, I'll certainly be in a much worse mood than before the experiment.

In fact, around here most people buy white box desktops. But when a company wants to buy some computers, the lowest bidders are always branded.
Scale makes all the difference.

WTF were they thinking?
