If we didn't want new versions we'd all be running Debian stable:)
lol, yeah, I've always loved Debian except for that =P
I guess that's why Ubuntu is successful nowadays. Personally I used to install FreeBSD or something such instead. It still worked but it was fresher =P
Personally I haven't tried KDE 4 and is in OS X now so. But I've read about the issues in 4.0 and would probably never switch to it except for testing. I liked KDE more than Gnome but maybe Gnome has managed to get passed KDE 3.5 nowadays.
Yeah, see my post about paying 36 SEK for 25 km trip but knowing that's just 1/5 of the cost so the actual cost for the people is closer to 180 SEK...
Gasoline for said trip would be like 20 SEK. And it would get even better if you had more than one passenger in the car.
I see it was "omg we need to offer alternatives to cars! Cars stupid!", so then they waste everyones money on that crap.
Get the electric devices going instead, let me have a small low energy one myself or make a phone call so one come and pick me up. Also eventually let them link together as "trains" for longer trips.
I have no idea what bus costs are now but back in the days when I lived at my mom bus to the city cost 36 SEK if I remember correctly, a distance of 20-25 km. If we only count gasoline you'll notice that the gasoline cost for a car would be less than the bus fee.
Then I also happen to know that back then you only did pay around 20% of the actual cost by fees since the rest was paid by taxes, so even if you didn't paid it on the bus the fee cost around 36*5=180 SEK.
Add the fact that the busses in the city almost always get close to full but the busses from around the cities often travels with just a few people who happens to need the bus / don't have cars /.. So there cost is probably higher in percent, so it may be above those 180 SEK...
And this isn't that weird if you consider the prices of the busses, the employe driving the bus, the amount of fuel a bus probably need, and so on.. Also idiots vandalising bus stops and buses and such.
And if you live outside the city you probably have atleast one car already since you more or less need it and planing your trips by every second hour schedules and such and also getting to the bus stop when it's winter and such suck so people use the car. So there goes much of the maintenance cost to since people have cars anyway.
Within the city it makes somewhat more sense, they go quite often and not everyone living in a city need a car.
But when I studied at the university I lived on one side of the town and the university was at the other, taking the bus took like 30 minutes and taking the bike took like 20 minutes. Sure you don't get any ice, rain and such but... And when I go to the gym the bike is faster than the bus again, and also if I'm at the gym I don't really know when I will finish, and I'm doing it on the evenings so the bus schedules is more stretched out. So then I may have to wait on the bus for 10-30 minutes, or just take the bike and get home in 15. If there is no rain the saved amount of time of say 15-45 minutes vs 15 minutes makes it worth it, also the saved cost. And if there is rain or whatever I'd still have to wait in the fucking rain on the bus so I'd rather start getting home than standing in the rain.
And then there is the issue with lots of buses in the city since they lead to more red lights, you get to bicycle in their fumes and shit like that. No buses and less trafic in the city, eventual no engine powered things at all (though probably impossible) and open roads for all kinds of "people" would be so much more fun and enjoyable =P
They had an idea of building a roof over the cycle roads from the city to the university, which would be a really nice idea because then the rain and eventually ice to would become a non-issue for cyclists.
To hell with buses!
Also I've seen videos of KMX trike with 84 volt electronic helper motor mod, and his bike was one of the smaller ones so he mentioned it got unstable around 60 mph (I wouldn't go that fast in a fucking bicycle trike but whatever..) The trike is around 1000 euro for a better model and the engine and such is probably 500 euro more or so but then you can go wherever you want for almost a free cost and it would run on electricity and be quiet and all..
No, I didn't. I though it was about somewhat empty buses, or completely empty such as the ones outside the central city over here which I guess exist because it should be possible to commute but it seems kind of a waste when there's sometimes just a few passengers.
Because some idiots thinks buses is a good idea? Personally I hate them, less so for long trips though. But within a city or as commute transport they suck balls, slower than a bike or more expensive than a car...
What we need is small personal electronical transportation devices.
So the employe can know the age and gender of their workers? Ethnicity is somewhat less clear but there is valid purposes such as need to know one language or work with people of said ethnicity and so on.
Doesn't multiple applications inform that they will collect the information? I don't see why this need the "goodluckwiththat", I'd gladly give Mozilla all my usage information, same for Opera and Safari if Apple wanted it.
I don't have much to hide and I doubt they do anything with my specific data anyway.

I don't know how the economics works but in any case I can't understand how this one guy would be able to dictate what Microsoft should do or not.
But I'd assume the people working in USA pay taxes to USA? So they contribute atleast as much as everyone else while they work (since they atleast are there to WORK vs not working.) Also I'd assume Microsofts taxes and progress/wealth/development/whatever contributes a lot to the economy of USA so what's good for Microsoft is probably good for your country.
Finally if they lose their job I guess it's easier to put them of saying it's some other countries problem, I have no idea if the visas stop working if one lose ones job and if one have to leave and become the responsibility of the country you came from? But I'd assume? Or is this just because they rather want americans to work? In any case, sure they may become a burden, but they have also contributed earlier, it's not exactly their fault the economy fails atm. And they could become rehired and start contributing again.
I doubt the actual contributions or burden care about nationality at all.
Yeah if they accept giving them the right to work in the country then why shouldn't they work at the same merits as everyone else? I'd assume Microsoft knows better which people they need and want and which they can get rid of than this guy..
Though I live in Sweden and most schools (and all upper education / universities and such) is ran by the government and free. I don't think I've agreed to shit more than access to and rules off the computer network.

Why do they drive around then?
They obviously will already have all the numbers from budgets and such so I doubt it will cost insane amounts of money.
Because some idiots thinks buses is a good idea? Personally I hate them, less so for long trips though. But within a city or as commute transport they suck balls, slower than a bike or more expensive than a car...
