Don't torture yourself with the wacky decisions made in stock Ubuntu. It's not representative of what any experienced Linux user would call "Linux". Try a more sane version like Xubuntu. Heck, try ANYTHING else.
I just finished reading Ready Player One which I found to be a lot like Gibson and Stephenson, but better. (For example, RPO actually has an ending.)
Regarding Stephenson's inability to write an ending, amen! He's one of my favorite writers, but he can't tie up a book to save his life. Diamond Age was the worst -- great book, but virtually nothing is resolved at the end.
I'd never heard of Ready Player One, but it sounds great and I've already got it on order. Thanks!
Those time travellers would return on a different timeline, so you'd still be out of luck. It would have to have already happened for you to be able to see it.
Yes, they are clearly crazy and stupid. So make a new video mocking them!
"Them" is probably a lone, teenaged troll in his basement. He not only won't care about your mocking, he'll probably get a thrill that you responded to his troll.
The key issue with solar has always been price. It seems forever on the cusp of having a positive ROI, but it never actually breaks through. Hopefully the use of plastic as opposed to crystals will bring the cost way down.
To each his own I guess. I loved Snow Crash, and Cryptonomicon might be my all-time favorite book. However, I gave up on the Baroque Cycle very early, as I found it too be too wordy and slow -- a tough slog.
"As with the iPhone and iPad, the MacBook Pro with Retina display was really rather unexpected."
As far as I knew, EVERYONE was expecting this. All the key changes - no CD, no Ethernet, Retina display - had been leaked several months ago. What kind of lame journalism is that?
As a home-schooling dad of 5 kids, I can't agree more with this post. In my experience, the typical home-schooler is a voracious reader, and to a large degree teaches himself through reading. If this young man is 10 but is below grade-level or just plain disinterested in reading, then this is going to be a huge barrier in his schooling (home-schooling or not).
I just switched to Xubuntu with a simple "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop", and now I'm perfectly happy. The XFCE environment is very much like the Gnome 2 we all used to love.
Cinnamon will also install on Ubuntu, but frankly I like XFCE better than Gnome 2/3/Cinnamon now that I've tried them side-by-side.

Odd, I've had the exact opposite experience. I've found things are generally more expensive in the Apple store.
I don't see any specs or pictures of the rear. I wonder if the Wii will finally get a digital output? Or have DVD playback built in?

BeOS had a 3d demo program with this exact functionality in the late 1990's!
That's a ton of money!

When a company starts/has to define "what it is", that means trouble is on the horizon.
That means people are starting to ask, "just exactly what is that you do?"
It means the company has started to turn to jello on the inside.
Next thing you know, they'll be issuing a manifesto.

I'd prefer it if it included major reversions... of all the bad ideas that have crept in over the last couple years.
It's more common than you think!
It's built on Qt... but can I run kde apps on it?
It's not built on Qt in any way. I don't even think Qt has been ported to it.
I disagree. The very problem is that the government does not fear it's citizens. They are not beholden to the citizens any more.

This is the UK. They came for their guns a long time ago.
