Yesterday I tried the latest knoppix version, and what struck me the most was how ugly kde is. The mother of heirarchial menues made even worse by most applications starting with a K(!), therefore making alphabetical sorting near useless. Just looking at it irritated me. The KDE project seems to have taken the worst of windows, fashioned it after apple of yesteryears, and maxed out on it. I really think the linux should've just made their own desktop, the way it ought better be, and let windows familiarity be damned. Linux should be about what's next, not what microsoft was.
It's *extremely* unlikely that jews, or anyone, would manifest intelligence as a biological genetic response in such a short space of time, namely a thousand years. There had been links between hereditary mental illnesses and what we currently call intelligence, both of which are present in inbred populations such as Ashkenazi Jews. I am reminded by the fact that a very significant proportion of Einstein's children ended up in psychiatric asylums!
Wait you guys; it's *not* about their religion or where they come from, it's about them being inbred that matters. Ashkenazis originate from the middle-east and have been related by recent DNA studies to the current inhabitants of the levant in Syria and Lebanon, so much so that the studies revealed that had little, if any, interbreeding with the Europeans. As such, inbreeding is an evolutionary stress that their genes had to respond to, and I am reminded by similar studies of an inbred fish population in a bond that had to respond to a decimating parasitic infection. This is not to say that inbreeding is any good, but this is what it's about - namely, that ashkenazis are an inbred human population, and a favorite of genetics researchers for studying the manifestations of that.
You know, it's really not up to *you* to dismiss it, it's up to *the author's peers* in the relevant discipline to do so if need be. You're just not qualified to even discuss it at this stage, judging by the content of your post.
Nothing I loathe more than the fashionable cult of political correctness. I was bitterly persecuted, just a few days ago, believe it or not, for saying that having sex with a gay guy in new york city is higher risk for HIV than having sex with a heterosexual guy who's already in a committed relationship. I guess had I said having sex with a black guy in new york city, even more ominous statistics than those of the gays, is higher risk for HIV than sex with a white, in fact, more than six times as risky, I would've been even more politically incorrect and more viciously persecuted.
That I had a medical degree with a post-graduate science education, that I'm an atheist, a member of a minority, and a longtime supporter of blacks and gays with a history of work and social relations to support it, none of that mattered to my persecutor who's a member of the majority with no notable minority friends and many questionable convictions.
From Canon, as they refused to cooperate with openRAW and ended their letter with a slap in the face: "If our equipment or software does not meet your needs, you are entirely welcome to seek other suppliers".
And this is *exactly* what I'll do from now on and for the foreseeble future; I will *not* entrust the future accessiblity of my visual data to such a company and its formats, and I will not render myself under their mercy given their manifest chauvinism. Does anyone know what suppliers are cooperating with openRAW? Those will get *all* my business.
What we had long known becomes news once it's reported by Wired. Yes, many, many indie filmmakers got enormous amounts of word-of-mouth through torrent, particularly documentarians. Wanna be famous fast? Make a half-decent homemade documentary about a hot topic featuring a bunch of talking heads and put it on torrent, and you're likely to have your hour in which you're in more demand than Michael Moore!

My experience with mozilla's alphas, and many other mature open source apps alphas, is that they tend to be pretty stable, certainly far more stable than many closed apps. I just wish it had been possible for the extension and themes to not be broken by minor update versions... Mozilla/firefox is perhaps the only app I can readily think of in which this is the case.
The advantages of the moon and mars are threefold, (1) keep the military-industrial complex happy, and I've personally heard from NASA insiders about the money already going into contracts (2) introduce a serious money drain that will last decades and effectively strangulate the funding of the NASA science programs and put them in jeopardy, such as Hubble and James-Webb Telescope, as this creationist-backed administration is firmly opposed to science (3) reallocate resources from blue states, such as Maryland that hosts most of the Hubble program, to red states such as Florida and Texas that will benefit most from those Moon and Mars hooplas
I'm often late on adopting firefox new releases and the reason is simply that extensions often need time to be updated by their authors. I wish the Mozilla foundation would somehow remedy this problem in the future, so updating the browser need not break extensions.
Some countries banned it, and I entirely agree, there should be no homework, just schoolwork. There's absolutely no rational reason why schoolwork must be done at home; children can learn just as well in school. In such countries the kids would do all their schoolwork before leaving school, or, if you must use the word "homework", they do their "homework" at school(!), and once they're out for the day, that's it, they can be kids, as they should be, free for the day, and free to enjoy their afternoons and evenings.
I still remember from my childhood the frustration of getting "homework" from 5 different teachers, each oblivious to the demands of others, and even when made aware, just simply doesn't care!
Homework belongs back to the days when corporal punishment was okay in school. Corporal punishment, and often collective punishment of an entire class, was easily abused, with no real evidence that it actually was of any benefit or necessity overall, and so is homework, a relic of a bygone era that still persists.
From what I heard, debian is suitable for servers, due to its conservatism and insistence on stability, whereas ubuntu is focused on desktops, for which bleeding edge is OK.
Before you spend your hard-eanred cash on such fancy item, be sure to go to http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ and calculate your PSU requirements, which will likely inform you that, unless you're in the exceptionally rare minority, far less expensive PSUs with less wattage will more than suffice.
I would still want a decently-sized display, and a comfortably sized-input device for extended use. Until someone can provide me with adequate and inexpensive solutions for those, mobile devices will be seriously hindered.
The bush government is a government-behind-closed-doors. If you expect them to be open to "oversight", then they should've at least not sought to have this case held in secrecy.
I think he should concern himself with what suits his interests, or what suits his business objectives, and let others be concerned with whatever appeals to them and suits their fancy. I think when it comes to open source developers, the phrase "whatever turns you on" should reign supreme. Some may say that regulation is better, but I think it's up to individuals to regulate themselves, and choose what gives them usefulness or pleasure. They're not paid, so why should they take orders, or even direction from others? It may be true there are instances, perhaps many, when his view has merit, but it's even more true that whatever brings on developers, turns them on, and doesn't turn them off and away, is likely to be ultimately far more beneficial.

I just wanted to note in this thread that I witnessed this historic day.
Yes but this could be the last time they do it, and it would give it more of a reassuring "once and for all" impression.
Where is the joke in the parent post? why is it modded +4 funny?
I threw out the LCD and got two old CRTs!
Even if you burn the market and bring down the house, bill made his money already and may soon retire.
Imho, "hardcore gangster rap" should cease to exist.
How big were dinosaur eggs?
