because i want to see beautiful colours. no ugliness means also no beauty, only mediocrity. i do not like world like that. i prefer reality - with all its beauty and horrors
I disagree. I use both. They are very different. Not technically, probably, but from the users point of view. And there are surely different variants of Linux (or if you prefer the name of the real OS - GNU/Linux), but they are (when we are speaking of desktop distros) very similar. I think MacOS X and GNU/Linux are really diffrerent desktop operating systems.
it probably is. at least in my country, where macos is almost nonexistent (except dtp studios). but most statistics probably measure only sold copies. and linux is freely downloadable...
how do i write larger texts on it? with my fingers? no matter how advanced the computer is and no matter what else it can do, plain writing of text is still one of the most important tasks. at least for me.
the problem is it is not as easy as you describe in many cases. I am not a beginner, but when i tried this at gimp pre2.0 something, i got dozens of errors. precompilled rpm worked fine. so for normal users and for linux on average desktop precompilled software is not only usefull but probably necessary
She was not able to coordinate movement of her hand and mouse with the movement of the cursor on the screen. Human problem. It may seem easy for you and me but some people have to learn such things.
I use Linux desktop. Sometimes OS X, but Linux most of the time. And I am very happy with it. I create computer graphics for money with it, and I use it for all my everyday tasks. There were issues (winmodem, 3d acceleration, tablet support) but now it is ok. Ok, I am techie. But i installed it on my girlfriends computer, and on my mothers computer, and they are using it too. My mother never used Windows before. There were some problems (she was not able to use mouse and so on) but not Linux specific. I had more troubles with my girlfriend as she was used to Windows, but everything is ok now. So, users can switch to Linux desktop if someone helps them. The only imporatnt thing is that those users use computers for purposes which Linux can support. I wouldnt recommend Linux to someone who wants to play lots of commercial games.
I am getting spam to my mobile phone for, say 3 years. Now it is ok because my phone was stolen, so I have new a fresh number. I live in EU, Czechia. Enjoy, whoever is using that spammy number now!
i am. i use two mail adresses, one spam-free (i never published the adress on the web, but still, some spams get there anyway - 1-2 a month) and one spammy. this is the spammy one. i get over 300 spams a day but see only few spams a week - thunderbird is very good at filtering them.
friedl at centrum cz (i am not afraid to write friedl@centrum.cz) is very spammy already so i am not afraid to write it here. thunderbird is very good at dealing with spam, i get more than 300 a day but see 1-2 a week. however i still refuse to write my email to anyone's form.
using another person as your dummy adress is pure EVIL. i was forced to abandon my main email adress because some moron used very extensivelly as a dummy address. and it was no coincidence, the address was too complex. before bayesian filtering, i had no other option than change my email and it is not an easy task if you have used for long time, you have printed ona various dead trees and so on
The criteria you remember are grossly outdated. It is not easy to define life. Spam is certainly not a living being, but your criteria arent any better.
The mission has a very high scientific value, but it will also help in testing technologies required for future deflection missions and raise interest in people for space exploration. The mission will in particular:
measure the mass of the asteroid, the ratio of the moments of inertia and the low order harmonics of its gravity field.
model the asteroid shape before and after the impact, to detect changes (if any).
determine the asteroid internal structure, especially the size the main solid pieces, the average particle size and thickness of regolith and of the debris layers in the space left between the main pieces.
constrain the mechanical properties of the asteroid material.
measure the orbital deflection of the asteroid as a result of the impact of Hidalgo
measure the asteroid rotation state before and immediately after the impact.
detect the dissipation of the non-principal axis rotation after the impact.
determine the asteroid large scale mineralogical composition.

i was not commenting usa - mexico relationship. i was commenting racism and fashism. and bush is known supporter of these ideologies
"In the case of Mexico, where the vast majority of its citizens have sub-average intelligence" you are an American and Bush voter, aren't you?
Mod parent UP insightful!!!
Hubble is not only NASA project. It is ESA/NASA cooperation project.

i usually use nospam@please.com
can i know why is this a flamebait? making information available in a non free audio format is not very accessible.
what is freedom good for if you cannot use a computer?
is the interview available as text somewhere?

There are too many people accessing the Web site at this time.
i can get one for the gmail acount, probably :) send me invite and i will share her if it works :)

reminds me of our own legislation during the fallen communist regime :(
