Since you were modded insightful i think i should answer.
It really *is* better.
You see GNOME actively drops features and then the drop itself is presented as a new feature. The dropped features will not come back. The developers think its actually better that way. (Its a whole philosophy)
KDE has had some features missing due to the change from 3.x to 4.x. In the beginning quite a bit of features were lacking, but gradually most have been re-introduced. If any are still missing (and it might be the case) then this is considered a *bug*. And it will be fixed in the future (shortage of manpower or developer interest non-withstanding obviously).
Personally, i don'd miss a single feature anymore that i used in the 3.x era and there are quite a few new awesome stuff.
So, yes, it is much much better. KDE does not drop features because it assumes the user is an idiot. There simply was a period that some went missing due to a significant architectural change. The vast majority have been re-implemented and the remaining are a matter of time.
It can't think of a simpler way to put this and i thought it was pretty obvious but apparently some mod disagreed.
You're mistaking this for Gnome. KDE does not drop features (unless they are being replaced by more awesome features)
Any missing features from 3.x versions of KDE are almost always due to lack of time/effort by developers. Not because it was decided to drop them.
The UI freeze every 10-30 seconds is probably Firefox saving its state of open tabs to disk so that it can restore them in case of a crash. This is why it gets worse the more tabs you have open.
In about:config check the setting 'browser.sessionstore.interval'.
That doesn't seem correct. inotify works on a kernel level and should send notifications to the listening application regardless of how you moved your files (using the CLI or some KDE application) . Maybe i'm missing something that you know?
You are wrong. There are scripting languages with dynamic but strong typing like Python for example.
You cannot change types in Python variables implicitly. You have to do type conversions.
you can't do:
No need. It's already alien. I mean, the greeks are from Sirius aren't they?
(this device has been used by some of the people believing in this crap for trying to 'prove' their stories)
Worse.
There was a guy who had setup a website were he supposedly, for a given price, would find you a job as a civil servant by using his 'connections' to elected official (effectively satirizing the situation in Greece).
Anyone who who has been on 'the internets' for more than 5 minutes and has an intelligence quotient over 70, could tell it was a joke (it even had badly photoshoped images)
Guess what happened. Not only was he arrested, but the mainstream media in Greece (tv, etc) reported it as completely legitimate for a few days. (till they figured it out..)
In greece, when you register a.gr domain , although it is activated right away for you to use, it awaits approval from the EETT regulating authority. Their policy is to not approve anything that they find 'offending' or 'immoral'.
For example there was a website called bourdela.gr (bourdela is 'whorehouses' in greek) that had a directory of all whorehouses in Greece. They operated for a few months and then EETT decided it should not approve this domain and the website had to go to a com domain.
This is one of the many reasons people choose.com/.org etc domains instead of.gr domains. With.gr domains you may very well get fucked months later (after you've spent money to make people remember your domain)
btw, i am not in any way affiliated with the bourdela site. I just like to read it because i find it fun how people go into flamewars over whores.
Darn right they should! They programmed the ATM with very poor ergonomics. My bank will not give you the cash until you pull out the card from the reader.
It goes both ways though.
My sister works at a bank and she tells me that she often sees money waiting at the machine to be picked up.
Apparently people see the card coming out and think that the machine didn't give them any money for whatever reason and they go away.
This is especially true of older people
Well, i have something in my foot thats iching me and i am scratching it to the point that it bleeds.
I had this for years (believing it would go away) , but recently i thought i should visit a doctor
Well, the doctor just by seeing this immediately described all the symptoms i should have (dead on).
Diagnosis? Too much stress.
Amazing as it may seem (at least to me) there was nothing wrong with my skin. It was all psychological.
By AMA i am assuming you mean the American Medical Assosiaction (not everyone is an American you know).
I looked into AMA and they try to restrict the supply of medical services to their benefit. But they do it by pushing for stricter regulation http://www.mises.org/story/1252#_ednref5/
They don't do it by secretely communicating to all doctors that they should charge more, because due to the large number of doctors, that would not work.
So, again , government regulation is involved.
Collusion is only a risk in oligopoly.
(And even then there are examples where no regulation meant lower prices to the consumer, even in oligopolistic environments (eg Cell phone providers in Afrika ))
Oligopoly and monopoly are a failure of the free market model anyway, so it is unfair to take a problem limited to a certain type of market and apply it to the free market economy in general.
There would be a lot of "how can fight something like that?" discussions going on that night.:-)
Well i would look it up on the Internet. There is bound to be a post on some obscure forum by some guy named "Tank-H4xor" that gives direction on how to exploit a bug in the system by duct-taping a banana on the missile or a fluffy bunny something:)
Yeah, i used to watch DangerMouse when i was a kid. Haven't seen him on TV for years and i was wondering what happend to him. Apparently, he has been very successul in the music industry:p

you can't do:
print "some string" + some_integer
You have to convert it:
print "some string" + str(some_integer)
Nice troll though...
Better yet, record a video reading of the 20,000 page response and fax it. ... base64 encoded.

Is it me, or does your ROT13 look a lot like klingon?
I think i know what the universal translator does now. Its just ROT13!!

You should write a textbook about benchmarking. Contact McGraw Hill or some other publisher.
Wouldn't a cacodemon be more appropriate for Bill Gates? You know, with all the people calling him Satan and all...
