The excellent map also comes with an excellent disclaimer at the bottom. A must read, especially before taking the comic as gospel in an emergency situation.
Indeed you deserve what you're signing up for: a familiar and usable UI. The Desktop has always been a contentious point between Windows and *unix. Windows likely wouldn't survive if it made flagrant UI changes because desktop users would be confused. At least there are alternatives. In this case alternatives to Gnome for those who do not wish to use it any longer. On a side note it reminds me of the damned ribbon bar introduced my Microsoft into Office products and no way to change back - people still have a hard time finding what they need, but then again they still use it, so that works against my previous point.
Wow, you just unsuccessfully discarded much objective and insightful analysis with a single inconclusive post. Not to mention, ironically, you're effectively whining about Slashdot users. Did you intend to include yourself in that final statement? really really REALLY include?
Oracle owns it. This is less likely a Larry thing and more likely regular marketing dept changes. From a pure business standpoint (ignoring the technical issue for a moment) why is there anything wrong with a name change to bring a new acquisition in line with yourself? There's not. If you were to keep the original company name on every product acquired from every company acquired, especially when the size or Oracle, it would become hard to manage everything.
You can't logically make the step from Microsoft wanting ARM in a job description to the company moving to ARM. The reasoning wreaks of either sensationalism or stupidity.
It's not "broken" typing; it's conformist typing. Min 90 words per minute sounds great. Why do you want to conform to what everybody else does? Why do you need to?
Don't forget the facebook Friend Finder asks for your email account password to log into your email account automatically and match your contacts against the facebook user base. Although they promise not to keep that password, they could.
As soon as you start trusting a vandalism detector over manual monitoring a lot of stuff will start to slip through, gets through the news, then the detector won't be trusted any longer. It will have a short life but will be interesting to watch.
Now go through all my past posts and see the plethora of mistakes I make. I'm just farting around online. Originally I was going for +5 Funny but it obviously sucked, and I think it came off as mean spirited. Thanks for putting up with yet another asshole online. This time it was by happenstance but still...
Of all the computers in all the world, USA investigates and traces attacks to two computers in two schools in China, yet several people with knowledge of the investigation asked for *anonymity* because they are not authorized to discuss the inquiry. Yep they're going to be really hard to track down. Love it.
Kinda scary that Google's doing all this financed by advertising programs on the web. Before Google is given permission to operate in a different sector it would be prudent to consider what if scenarios, because the web is fickle.
I speculate that Google will be our next financial crises, maybe even economic downtown. One company cannot do everything well, not even Google.
Let's hope their involvement in the energy business is just for themselves and their data centers. The fact they have to get involved in the energy industry for their data centers is scary enough - maybe it's already an indicator that costs of a multitude of additional free apps and services is becoming financially burdensome on them.

Oddly, most of those subpoenaed have long since gone blind.
Yep, you guessed it, wrong thread! Time to downvote...

I don't think communism is a logical step in this thread of conversation; however good on you for railing against the OP's foolish post :)

Whooaaa buddy! ... you can imagine thrusting the author in a sandbox all you want but let's keep this discussion clean.

That took all the sensationalism out of it for me. Thanks.

Sew m@ny things that can bee done to bypass mechanisms. Even simple euphemisms like cleaning the old rifle http://images.clipartof.com/small/5039-Man-Cleaning-Inside-The-Barrel-Of-His-Unloaded-Rifle-Gun-Clipart.jpg ...are sure to slip through. There are so many language mechanisms that can be used to fool automated tools, but that will be immediately recognized by people.

Why do you assume the word arrangement is a problem?
>> I wonder what his motivation for lying like about it was
The same motivation you had for that grammatical error: stupidity. Nothing personal, it's just an analogy.

"their", "Their", "THEIR"!
Sorry, my annoyance level kept rising each time I saw it. Had to scream it in CAPS.
... and it wants its book back.
Obviously you didn't read TFA.
Maybe men in the middle have a particular fetish for that kind of attack.
