no, that is what consumer grade crap storage costs on a PC. you think that is what a terabyte of commercial grade disk space costs? try about $1,000 / TB / year plus backup and archival system costs
we're talking about the corporate environment though - the windowing/menu UI has been evolved and refined and should not be suddenly thrown away for ribbons and tiles and charms and such crap. We're not using giant cell phones at work.
I used Cinnamon for a year, now I'm on MATE as it just allows more things to be customized easily. Why they do both, MINT is all about user needs. they also have KDE, LXDE editions too.
Debian is my favorite distro - for servers. it is absolutely not suitable for a desktop for a novice. in fact, I have decades of Unix administration and systems programming experience and *I* don't even use Debian for my desktop. Debian has too many rough edges in the desktop realm, and as of 2013 A.D. there are still useful non-free wares for which free software doesn't exist. sorry, but that's the real world. Don't tell a novice he must suffer and waste hours of time and have incomplete functionality for getting stuff done because it's against your RMS-religion. That non-free software of which you have so much contempt will help the novice (as it does me) get stuff done. I wish there were free alternatives, but there are not. The real world is not as nice as we'd like.
you know, as a person who has to use windows 7 sometimes at home and work, I can only say your sentence reads as complete gibberish. so does the article: charms, Name Group and Live Tiles....gad.
Not only did normal people understand what was meant by "mac", so did you but being a fussbudget of the picayune you felt compelled to whine about it anyway. Get help.
that's cute, do the unicorns in the magic land between your ears also poop skittles? Governments do most the killing on this world, and it will never stop.
you have something against clip-fed machine gun owners asserting their right to bear clip-fed arms? Let me educate you, you godless leftie, nothing says "Stay out of my face" to the King of England than a clip fed machine gun wielding patriot.
women in the workplace are just as bad, as anyone who passes by their gossip-groups at lunch know
I'm especially amused by all the posts by the outraged saying the guys referenced in the article were "pricks" or "dicks", but they would fire up the holy sexist smokescreen should the woman be referred to as a "cunt" or "twat".
nonsense, we spend a half hour doing slashdot AT work, the catch up on the hulu.....see how efficient that is? plenty of time for friends when we're not being paid...
what wrong with dousing the power and money grubbing scum running one's country into the ground with corrosive acrid poisons? Hmmmm, I know a place that needs that worse than Syria.......
that's silly, plenty of conventionally piloted craft can be just as dangerous as a drone. heck, I know of a time, seven decades ago, and place where the "cruise missile"'s embedded controller was a dude.....then twelve years back some saudi arabians did the thing with jumbo jets
maybe you're confused with the Elbonia in Dilbert strips. Estonia is much different, it's a land of lakes, fens and bogs, not mud. the difference is plants and moss grow in that glop. Also, they don't wear funny hats, except when it's cold or to sporting events.

won't stop the bad guys as long as they can do full auto recalculation. probably even semi-auto recalculation is just too dangerous for civilian use.
gold has had value for thousands of years. paper money's value goes to zero after four or less centuries.

what's modern about that non-MT crap that panders to morons? why have an OS with some features that pander to morons?

But we have OS-less computer systems with human interfaces everywhere, from automobiles to microwave ovens to thermostats.
and is this is different from the same type of bugs (which the malware maker's and system crackers love) in other OS how?
hope google's gnu/linux servers don't hear you and poof out of their magical existence
we've had true clustering operating systems since the 1960s, by the way
You might be interested to know that "spred" is indeed an archaic form of the present-day "spread"; it is therefore not a mispelling.

politicians and the news media are fanning the fires of fears of a massive strike, the astrophysicists have already won.
