Aye, bizarrely enough it seems from genetic evidence that the first inhabitants of the British isles came from north of what it is today Spain and Portugal.
I'm not sure how Gnome is more minimalist, unless you mean fewer options and features. Then again, I'm not sure why people don't like having choice.
Because more choice is not always better. Gnome does what I need it to do, and is as customizable as I need it to be. Given that, my pre-existing comfort with gnome, and my never having used KDE for any extended period of time, I have no desire or need to switch. And this is independent of whatever advantages KDE might have, when it comes to what you need it for.
I'm sorry, but I don't see your point. Are you saying that, as Gnome does what you need it to do, choice ain't better? But then you say "it comes to what you need it for"?
How is it having choice worse than no choice at all? That defies common sense, buddy.
I think you're right, but I wouldn't agree to "English is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn", seeing the struggle of native English speakers in learning French or Spanish and, to a lesser extent, German, languages that are all related to each other. If you count Chinese and the like, well, we're all equally buggered. On the other hand, Europeans aren't too bad at English if only at a basic level (after all it's taught at school), specially in the Nordic area. And yes, as you've guessed, English is not my native language:)
You speak as if the US were the only country that receives illegal immigration. Let me give you a lesson on geography, perhaps you may find I'm not as ignorant as you think I am. EU countries live nearby eastern Europe, which is a major source of immigration: Poland, Czech Republic, Albania, Russia, Romania, Serbia, Prusia. Some of them will, or have already, became members of the EU despite their problems. To the south lies Africa, whose fishing boats, or any gap on vegetable lorries crossing Gibraltar's stretch crammed with people from Morocco, Egypt, Argelia, Tunez, Sub-Sahara, Congo, Ethiopia, the Magreb region, Zambia and many others reach Spain by the thousands and then spread all over the EU. To the East lies Middle East. That brings up Turkey, Palestina and through them, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan and many other countries finishing in "istan". They normally get through Greece, Italy, Germany, France to reach the rest of the EU. Then there are the Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, people from Laos and Thailand hiding in MAERSK containers asking for asylum.
Then there is the public health service. I assume you mean these people (who, however, don't seem to be real people as they don't have "real emergencies") receive primary care, and not, say cancer treatment in full. Most EU countries provide from the first aspirin until the last shot of chemotherapy, in the middle there are surgical interventions, AIDS treatments, physiotherapy, mental care, the works. They provide with all that to the last of their citizens. Regardless of how much money they want, for you don't pay for your treatment. The healthy workers pay that with tax. When I say "citizens", I mean also illegal immigrants, because they are people too. Illegal immigrants get kicked out sooner or later if they don't manage to get their paperwork right. But _any_ medical attention they need gets done _first_. Perhaps that may think that our hospitals are crammed. And they are. And that means that instead of waiting 3 weeks to receive treatment I need to wait two months. So please, don't try to justify the humanitarian catastrophe the US is shielding yourself in immigration. We are far less rich than the US, and yet we receive colossal amounts of illegals that get treated much better than over there. And everyone, everyone, receives all medical treatment they need until they are well, or die. Would you deny help to anyone bleeding in your streets? Would you look in the pockets of someone having a heart attack to see if they can afford the treatment? Open your eyes, that's what's going on all around you.
You say you're proud of being American, and you should be. It's a great country full of great people that have accomplished many great things for humankind. But do not try to hide the fact that your own government is so full of shit that spends huge amounts of money policing the world as opposed to taking care of their own. Yes, I'm an EU citizen, although I don't live in my own country, just elsewhere in the EU. Yes, our government is also full of crap. I'd be stupid if I didn't see that. Heck, we even helped out a tiny bit in Irak. But guess what? I'd rather be an immigrant in Germany, than unemployed and American.
Your computer/router/child has no authority, on its own, to issue or deny an invitation for entry or use of your systems, space, etc, etc
Are you sure of that? Because that's exactly what it's doing. That's actually what it's built for. You defer the responsibility of allowing connections on the thing to avoid the hassle of granting permission to people to connect to your network by providing a wire. Even more: it announces itself constantly to anyone that wants to hear. It's called a beacon.
If you buy a knife, don't complain if you get cut because you don't know how to use. If you buy a car, don't complain if you crack your head open because you didn't get training to use it.
You're right. And that's why I pay 27% of my wages in taxes and national insurance, not to speak taxes on petrol and the VAT. I haven't got a high salary, yet I manage a very good life. I think it's a good deal. People with less resources have their needs covered, get education and are able to provide themselves with a means of living. That means more tax. So go back to the beginning
Perhaps your government should stop so much expenditure in military campaigns nobody has requested and start taking care of their own citizens? It's an investment, mind you: the next generation won't need so much government help.
I don't see your point. I do see that perhaps some business aren't adopting Linux as a desktop system because making those interact with a pre-existing AD environment is far from flawless and straightforward. Or the other way around, when implementing new services on Linux servers that need to interact with Windows machines.
Better interoperatibility will benefit Linux hugely. Where there used to be just one choice, Windows, there could be more.
The Acid2 is the most similar thing you can get to a synthetic benchmark (like those sisoft sandra things for computers) in this area. It doesn't show any real-life usage of CSS and other standards, so to speak. They try to apply everything and not all browsers implement all of that. But they may implement 90% and that may be well good enough for 99% of the things real webdevs use in their developments.
That said, it's been a long time since FF3 passed the Acid2 test. And it performs not too bad on Acid3. Have you tried IE7 on those? The results are shite; however the browser itself is not (too) bad in terms of standards compliance. IE6 is the proper webdev nightmare, not IE7. While I needed hours of tweak for IE6 to display properly something, it merely takes a few minutes on IE7, and most of the time is not even needed.
They should've had, yes. After 6 hours and dozens of opened tabs, 120MB used. It would've normally been 250+. Still too much for my liking, though I would expect it to be better on b5 and final. Not sure if there are loads of debugging symbols on the Windows build I'm running at work now.
Now it actually frees up memory when you close a tab.
It runs really fast as well. No lag when clicking a different tab to switch to it. Pages render almost as quickly as they arrive. Javascript sites (gmail, gmaps, the like) are much faster.
In general it feels awfully snappy and fast. It gets better with each beta. With some tweaking most extensions I use work (the exception being Sage), most of the ones I use are compatible with some alphas or previous betas of FF3 and you can get away by modifying their install.rdf files (maxversion).
Not sure what it says, but basically to play Halo II on XP you need a certain version of DirectX 9 and a loader for Halo II that tricks the game into thinking the platform is Vista.
The example given was of cops. Well, in a transparent society, you don't want cops, because everyone is a cop. If you see someone doing something, and you know they shouldn't be doing it, you rally the people around and take action personally.
That's heretic. I'm going to report this; bloody communist pagans.

Well done. I'm sure you're well proud of being American.
A sleep study which captures this marker involves finding subjects willing (and able) to sleep wired up with rectal thermometers.
Good luck with your search.
Fair point.
I'm sorry buddy, but it ain't a myth. What do you think runs the Windows shell? IE is explorer + html rendering engine.
I would imagine he mispelled "cock"
Most of IE6/7 memory usage is pretty much hidden, since most of it is part of the OS anyway.
I don't see your point. I do see that perhaps some business aren't adopting Linux as a desktop system because making those interact with a pre-existing AD environment is far from flawless and straightforward. Or the other way around, when implementing new services on Linux servers that need to interact with Windows machines.

Got to add, it actually feels like I'm using Opera. Definitely faster than beta3. And I've got many an extension running.
They should've had, yes. After 6 hours and dozens of opened tabs, 120MB used. It would've normally been 250+. Still too much for my liking, though I would expect it to be better on b5 and final. Not sure if there are loads of debugging symbols on the Windows build I'm running at work now.

PS: it's now 110MB used.
