It wouldn't work so easily in a small community. It's not hard to have a small, "passionate" group that would start poitning fingers. Yes, they have some chance to be wrong in pinpointing the "guilty"...so what?
Thing is, "Not pressured or coerced in any way to participate, or made to feel embarrassed by having a different belief system" is mostly a fiction. It's rather easy to not see it if you do have some sort of faith, because although there are many different ones (virtually each "condemning" in one way or another the rest btw...), in modern world they try to act, with such stuff, on a quid pro quo basis. "OK, I don't really like that you display yours, but I have to bear it, somehow, to display mine..."
What about those who don't have any, don't display any, don't impose any show for surroundings? That was the case with controversy over footbal prayer, from the cases I've heard about.
"The nub/clit/eraser/whatever is ubiquitous among laptop manufacturers"?! I don't really care how are you posting from another Universe...I do care how to get there though.
(Thinkpad x100e is a joke - "ultraportable" with battery life of a desktop replacement, almost? Plus, overall, the first Lenovo netbook, S9/S10, seems closer in spirit to the style of Thinkpad, to me...just add clit & optimize battery life - with latest Atoms and Pixel Qi screen for example)
Or...Google finally has in their sights a young, cheap to buy social networking serive with bright future; for which they can ensure "not evil" state of affairs.
http://retromessenger.sourceforge.net/ - serverless IM (finds IP of friends via DHT; apparently also has "push message to all friends" functionality, close enough to some social services) http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/ - in the spirit of the above, but more of a "service" at this point - Chat & Filetransfer, searching friends, messages, Forums...encrypted, DHT http://tstone.sourceforge.net/ - apparently strives to be a serverless VoIP cooperating with one of the above (generally they seem to be related to a large degree)
All appear roughly usable; I have to check them one time...if some buddies of mine will be willing to play at the same time. Oh, we get to the most important point - are the above actually in much use? Have you even heard about them? Yeah, exactly...
PS. If you have something against publishing some of your personal info on FB...just don't give it to them.
A reusable space vehicle which would be able to do that with GEO satellites (they are among the biggest ones), while also getting to their orbit and being able to deorbit with the payload, would be prohibitively expensive. Much more than Shuttle or Buran. So maybe that's why we don't have one...
If you really want to, bulding the satellite inside a reentry capsule would be most likely cheaper...but still pointless. Requiring higher launch mass & more powerful rockets - for mass of the reentry structure...and of the fuel needed for reentry; but you would get an obsolete, space-weathered piece of junk and would waste fuel which could be used for station keeping.
So they are essentially trying to be what SUSE already is? Not much place for two such players, I guess. Especially if one is, well, still largely German Engineerink; and where is Mandriva development happening?
Adding to what others have said, I seem to remember Mandriva contributing quite a bit to KDE, at the least. Or sponsoring Frozen Bubble - this one has to be worth a lot for everybody, right?
At least with one distro your memory is failing you, old man;)
SUSE is the oldest active commercial distribution, and second oldest active overall (only Slackware is slightly older; SUSE started as a modification of it and later built on Jurix (creator of which joined them), another early distro; Slackware itself was mostly a modification of SLS back then). It has over 16 years by now. It was a serious competitor, at least outside of the US, a long time before Novell.
Just because it adopted RPM (quite a bit modified by now) and Red Hat config style at some point, doesn't mean it was ever a repackaged Red Hat...
I don't think so (assuming any large blast can work at all in this case, of course); given the location is on the bottom of the ocean, and that the blast could require, for example, some drilling to place the explosive in the bottom...a nuke, with its small size, is much more practical.
In that case perhaps you should consider Opera; especially on older machines and/or with a lot of tabs it ends up noticeably snappier than the rest of the bunch.
That's probably one of the reasons why it's the number one browser in Ukraine (yes, significantly ahead of IE), with similar situation in Belarus from I've heard, and the number one "alternative" browser in Russia. Places where machines are, on average, what many would consider a bit "old" (I have a buddy from Dnepropetrovsk, a major city on the east of Ukraine - a PC at his home there was something in the style of Celeron Willamette or early Northwood, with 256MB...and from what he said it's relatively typical). Plus machines there often come...essentially without OS (yes, also laptops from major manufacturers - with things like "DOS2000" or useless Linux liveCD/installation without drivers or even without X functioning); usually set up with pirate copy of Windows by somebody who "knows computers" - those people often install "better" (given the circumstances) browser.
I figure that not abondoning perfectly fine older machine, using instead more appropriate software on it, is just, well, the responsible thing to do. And it's not much of a problem to quickly launch another browser if some sites really don't want to cooperate... (especially if Chrome can "turn them into apps")
Those blank tabs, from my experience (also on one older machine, not a lot of RAM, HDD readily audible when seeking), are typically due to OS almost completelly swapping out the process behind this specific tab. Takes a while to get it back / a side effect of Chrome architecture - it is fast as long as it has plenty of physical RAM, for the amount of tabs you open. If that's not true, the experience goes down the drain.
It probably largely relies also on observation of behavioral patterns, most dogs have pretty similar ones. And this is the time when child soaks in, at tremendous speed, the "rules" of social life.

Oh, he should just stay away from publicly founded avenues?

I don't seem to remember many examples when the lack of "clean cheap bountiful energy" stopped people from breeding...
You've never heard about religious ostracism?...
I take you live in a place without ostracism? Really?

The one downside is that it will start to chafe your fingertip if you use it for hours and hours and hours on end.
That's only for those of weak mind, who give up early. Similar thing to the one with guitars...
Nah, I'm not that desparate...yet.

That data was essentially public already...
Facebook is wildly popular (also) outside the USA. Orkut...pretty much only in Brazil and India.
