and don't forget Boxes, a thing that lets you use other computers. You might use a browser or program in a window to use another computer, but you've been doing it all wrong.
nonsense, we're not even talking about oil. Coal and natural gas have centuries of supply.
and there is a fallacy in your EROE, if 1 barrel is consumed ONSITE and as PART OF THE PROCESS to make a barrel for shipping, EROE arguments go right out the window. It just becomes an efficiency quotient
what nonsense, humans are not "spreading like viruses", in fact from the 2nd derivative of the population curve it is quite clear we'll peak at 8 billion people sometime around 2075.
There has always been cycles of drought and flooding, note we have not seen the dust bowl of the 1930s. Recent *weather* has been no exception, nothing new but today's young people are lazy and ignore history.
I'm saying they won't be profitable this way, and shouldn't try. they will only annoy.
Ubuntu will lose in the market if they lose mindshare of the non-paying users.
you seem to be forgetting that Debian does 95% of the work that is in the Ubuntu distribution. Is Ubuntu massively supporting Debian? no they aren't, your viewpoint is silly
which has nothing at all to do with the balloon gas grade crap being sold for children's balloons. the only shortage we have is because most helium is vented at wells. The amount used in balloons is miniscule and doesn't matter either way. This stupid professor is advocating symbolism over substance.
no, people with brains who want to use more than one app at a time want the mature time-tested UI model with ever more features evolving over time to make it useful added on. We have such evolving desktop UIs in the Mint supported desktiops. Your Unity is the single-tasked MS-DOS window that panders to 'tards. No one I know likes it, even those staying with Ubuntu use the Xubuntu.
no, Ubuntu's only viable option for cash flow is larger acceptance into corporate workplace. The huge user base is what got them to the top & to be noticed. if they cut that off (continue the mass exodus that Unity started), then there will be no one pushing it in the corproate environment and Canonical will die. good riddance.
all the people who run it, but never paid, are not "freeloaders", they are the massive user base that gave the Ubuntu distro momentum and pushed it to the top of linux distros. they got it into the corporate workplace (my employer uses Ubuntu), they make the helpful forum posts, etc.
your monetizing needs to be done outside of those people, it's done with services, support, add-ons for the corporate environment, etc.
Mint offers xfce, cinnamon, MATE, and KDE variations of the ubuntu-based edition. And they also have Linux Mint Debian Edition with MATE, cinnamon or xfce. And of course many other desktop managers you could install if you don't like those......
we are forced to work for a living by the way our civilization is constructed, therefore we have the implicit right to complain about any element of the system. Life is a bitch, work sucks and drains your soul, and then you die.

you think the primary application for ethernet is ISP use? this is for data centers and server rooms foremost.
designer weenies don't have much brains anyway. now the engineer behind Apple's success, that's another matter.....
most places douchebags are referred to as GNOME 3 developers.

well, we know what Romney is wearing, his Mormon Holy Underwear with masonic symbols on it that protects him from evil
what a whackjob cult

nonsense, mass production would make the price low
straightforward search results pushing product are called "ads"; amazon sponsoring them makes them "paid for advertising".
with this & your crippled Unity UI, your distro is circling the drain; shape it up, young man.
nonsense, productive windows users with half a brain know the ribbon is work-impeding garbage and a useful menuing system is superior

oil will never run dry, there are centuries of supply of fossil fuel and any hydrocarbon fuel chain can be changed to any other
gulf countries not too pesky if confined to their own soil, they mostly get enraged and kill each other
why bother, 75% of the helium from wells is vented into the atmosphere. the waste product sold as "balloon gas" doesn't matter.

yes. because I've helped them be in the corporate environment with paying corporate customers.
also, to have userable UI as standard
damn straight

Ubuntu was great for desktop, till they ruined it with Unity. I never considered Ubuntu good enough for server like Debian
only thing better than Debian for stability and testing, is a BSD
oh yes.
Mint offers xfce, cinnamon, MATE, and KDE variations of the ubuntu-based edition. And they also have Linux Mint Debian Edition with MATE, cinnamon or xfce. And of course many other desktop managers you could install if you don't like those......
why put up witht the crappy UI? a single distro switch will get rid of all the Canonical cruft. fuck 'em.
you mean the second one, of those people remaining after the Unity / GNOME3 rendered any concept of multi-task workflow useless
stick a fork in Canonical, they are done
not the point, the crackpot dictators of the USA and their politician bitches don't want sheeple not under their thumb to get the goods
