Yes, I am writing on a Dvorak Keyboard:
The keyboard was designed from work started in about 1930, by Dr. August Dvorak, an American from Seattle (distantly related both to composer Antonin Dvorak and the John Dvorak in question).
The funny thing is that perhaps without intending it, your comment contains some information as to some of the same problems you mention. Your item (5) causes things like item (3). Some people want a distro (or WM, or editor, or IDE or office suite) that looks like MS stuff, some people want something new and different, some peolpe are content with text only stuff and terminals.
Mod parent up. Mapblast rocks, I kind of got worried when Microsoft took it over.
Line drive directions are much easier to see than actual maps. They are the sort of maps someone draws for you when you ask for directions: no extraneous information, just the turns you need to make, and it normally includes one street before the turn to get you ready.
Some people have noted though that it is your choice to work the 60+ hour work weeks. And someone mentioned that working for a workaholic who doesn't have kids or good friends is tough as well because they expect you to do the same. I agree, I've been there and you are made to feel guilty if you leave at 4:00pm even though you showed up before everyone else (7:00am) I used to get comments about "banker's hours" but I told them that I was at work while they were crawling out of bed.
The sucky part is that you are given just as much crap if you are not a morning person and like to get in at 10 am (of course, you leave at 6 or 7 to make up)
Governments need to promote them.
Why should the knee-jerk reaction to anything that sounds remotely like a good idea has to imply the word Government?
When alternative technologies are significantly better in all the ways that matter to consumers they will become mainstream. <<< Period at end of sentence
Perhaps, but of all the applications I've compiled, very few were set in such a way that I could VERY easily create proper RPM packages for them (with the spec file and such), I love those.
Then there are those that come with almost no instructions, you compile, and don't even come with a 'make install' so I have to guess where the best place is to put binaries that were thrown all over the build directory (e.g. QCAD).
Open Source developers should make it easy to compile their applications into packages. It doesn't add that much more work to them, and makes it more likely that distros pick them up.
People all over states, and to a fewer extent in europe as well, are losing jobs because big companies prefer to subcontrat on a underdeveloped country were work force is cheap.
Yes, not only is that capitalism at its best, but it is a nice thing to do for people in undeveloped countries. Wait, pretty soon they'll be developed enough to be customers of yours as well. Globalization is about expanding your markets BOTH ways!
Even worst happens on non IT industries (IT industries demand qualified work force) were people are just treated as work slaves.
Ever wondered were all your cristmas toys come? probably from china, indonesia, or some other place, where a kid with no time to play works the whole month to earn about what you earn in an hour.
What would you rather they be doing, starving?
I don't like child labor that much, but the alternative may be worse, be careful of what you ask for, it's not like these kids are working because they find finishing school boring
If this is the only thing you'll be doing, figure out your costs, what are your yearly bills, divide by 2000 and you'll get a number you can start with.
If there's enough work to do, incorporate (about 3000, if you do it through a lawyer) and do it as a corporation, you'll be able to keep more of your cash that way.
Maybe I'm wrong, but in my understanding of political philosophy: A corporation (or any group of individuals) derives (should derive) its rights from the rights of the individuals forming it. If individuals have a freedom of speech, and gvmt recognizes that right (notice I mention that gvmt recognizes, not grants) then individuals can delegate that right to corporations they belong. How can you supress a right of a corporation without supressing the right of the individuals making up that corporation at any given time?
People do what their friends do... or they just do what's "popular". AOL is "popular". That is why it lives on. It's not really much easier to use than, say, Outlook and IE (or Thunderbird and Firebird), but it's "popular" and so people assume it's good. Most people do not want to stick out from the crowd. What they do want to do is look, act, and buy "just like everyone else", since (A) that way they won't get ridiculed and (B) that way, they can take comfort knowing that others did things the way they did, and of course that (C) "X million people can't be wrong!" (Yes, they can.) Think "keeping up with the Joneses". If the Joneses run AOL on Windows, and wear the latest model of Nike Air sneakers, chances are their neighbors will too.
I just got a pretty interesting thought (which may be somewhat obvious, but it is better than your general statement.
People don't mind standing out on things that matter to them, but are perfectly content in going with the herd on everything else. For example. I care about computers, am knowledgeable about them and I don't mind sticking out and using Linux, but I care little about what I wear so I am content in buying my clothes so that they look pretty standard and boring. I'm sure fashion industry experts and Hollywood types feel safe in sticking out with their clothing but have no problem in going with the AOL/Microsoft herd.
Put it all together and the results are very similar to what they'd be if everyone just went with the herd, with a few in each category of life sticking out (and some even leading).
As a Californian who isn't too fond of Davis, I have to snicker a bit. So the threat of being kicked out actually does make law makers push to enact laws that the average person wants, instead of pandering to corperations.
Would that be the same corporations that are leaving the state in droves? Nope, they don't like him much either.
California has one of the least business friendly atmosphere in the country.
Complicated political Rant, and off-topic. But...
Why should government interfere with the business of contracts?
Because (in Libertopia) we as individuals deletage to our government our rights to use non-emergency retaliatory force. I'm all for contracts naming arbitrating organizations other than government, which would work perfectly well as well, but then, in perfect regression somebody needs to enforce the contract with the arbitration agency if they should fail to work correctly.
Contract insurance (and enforcement) is a nice alternative, VOLUNTARY, way to fund government.
Whatever your political affiliation, urge your congressman to support JIMO. Or, let's just all take up a collection and write JPL a check for the thing!
Unless, of course, you are a Libertarian and believe that there's a)much, much better things to do with our research money and b) much cheaper ways of getting the same things done if all of this was privatized.
Seriously, I ran in 2002 and made the mistake of giving my prefered email address to anyone who wanted to contact me, of course, every newspaper in my district posted it on their website, leagues of voters same, etc.
I now get about 50+ spams a day... nicely controlled with spamassasin.
Though, on an unrelated note, no Disney female villains have ever been killed. Cruella DeVille survives, mostly unharmed, a car wreck that would normally kill a person. Likewise with the villain from the original "The Rescuers".
Uh? I guess the witch queen in Snow White doesn't count? What happens to Ursula in little mermaid (that one I don't remember, I can't seem to find the DVD).
I'm a recent Disney movie expert (I have a 2.5 year old at home).
Unfortunately I can't take take credit for it. Barry Kraft (OSF's dramaturg and a leading bard scholar) mentioned it on passing at a lecture I attended. R&J is not originally Shakespeare's, the story goes much further and even some of the text, so it is conceivable that one of those sources had something that made more sense.
A big question of course, is why Shakespeare didn't instead say "Romeo, oh romeo, wherefore are though Montague?". Much clearer.
I highly recommend this season's version of R&J at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
