Canonical being behind it may cause lag in adoption, since people are fleeing Canonical's UI ideas like creatures from a forest fire, even if they stay within the Ubuntu family it's Kubuntu or Xubuntu or Lubuntu....Unity and GNOME3 are inferior ivory tower designed, user-need ignoring crap
Less than 24 hours, and there has already been a fatality because of that insensitive cartoon.. Specifically, when I read it I became so pissed off I stomped on a spider. The green spider glob is on that cartoonists hands!
last I checked there were multiple interpretations on "what it means", so there always will be those you consider to "misrepresent what it means".
You don't have the right to tell anyone what a written work means,
Anyone can say the Qur'an means anything at all, or that it is a bunch of bullshit and lies, or that it is a pack of hate speach. that's all fine. if you have a problem with it, the problem is between your left ear and your right ear.
no, venus and mars will never become habitable, venus will not become cooler, nor mars wetter. most planetary bodies in the universe cannot support life. It is fine for humans to use the empty unihabitable things in any way they want, nothing of value will be lost.
we don't have the means to increase Mars' mass by almost ten times! we can move mass on that scale, and the result would be an extremely hot molten mass that would take hundreds millions of years to cool off (your are essentially proposing the same process that formed the planets in the first place
it is because of energy considerations a base on the moon is useless. you could make a huge spaceshp there, but where does the *fuel* for it come from? the only practical source of oxidizer there is water, and water is extrememly rare on the moon despite the recent hoopla about finding moisture at a level that makes the flour in your kitchen look wet.
as long as we use chemical rockiets, the moon is a foolish stopping point or base.
I don't want my Linux boxes to be as flaky and need rebooting as often as the half-year old macbook pro my company gave me. what are you smoking? and it takes weird keystroke chords to do the simplest things. MacOSX UI has become a bloated disorganized nightmare.....several linux desktops are superior.
funny about the "need to know what you are doing", I learned to handload from a $10 book, 25 years ago. I just looked, you can get that old classic for $0 as a torrent...
nonsense, entry point already very low. you can make a shotgun for less than $20. But why make one at all if you're a "resistance", the price of servicable used guns is very, very low.
these superficial changes don't fix the GNOME3 philosophy of dictating user's workflow, and needing a fucking developer to make changes that are configurable by user in sane desktops. forget the fork, get a fire extinguisher for GNOME3, it's burnt beyond salvaging in the GNOME3 dev's oven; the smoke is stinking up the desktop Linux house. Listening to the remaniing few users fixes nothing.
people have stayed in space for a year. plenty of those "flyboys" you admire have volunteered to do more. And like those in the "tin can" known as the ISS, they wouldn't be alone. Sane people do important dangerous work
so you lead a very sheltered safe life and have a very narrow view of what 'sane' is. You probably would become mentally unbalanced in dire or stressful situation. Meanwhile, there are plenty of tougher sane people who would do the job well with perfect mental health.
bad methodology you don't want to use pure photons, that is a waste of energy. it takes 300MW to produce a newton of thrust! your car produces a newton of thrust with half a watt! you can have stages to a starship and "burn" more than half the mass, there are tricks for deacceleration that don't require the same amount of fuel as starting by use of external forces. you should read some physicists ideas on the subject.
it is more likely that a "defense contractor" with politicians in its pocket will develop awesome bioweapons that will, in a war started for profit or power, extinquish most or all of mankind. Death will be the limit
amusing 64 bit PC computing only recently popular on desktop, and 64 bit clean also only recent in the realm of x86-64. I've been on 64 bit unix desktops since the mid 90s....
people can already make firearms. it can be done legally. as for charge, you can legally buy many, many different powders and primers and cases and bullets, and legally hand load your own ammo. this doesn't raise any new questions that didn't exist for decades already.

haha, that's essentially how the earth formed and got its water. it'll take a long time alright, about 700 to 800 million years we already know

some of us buy all-in-one machines that Linux supports, and we never had that problem. the price is cheaper than the supplies for five years
entertainment is a multi-billion dollar industry. not tiny

I use Mac OSX at work, but it is inferor to xfce4 or cinnamon. more buttons to click and hold to do simple tasks.

I can do better than that. hit your foot with a ball peen hammer moving at 4 meters per second. your desktop computer has no such internal feelings.

you may someday hit the big issue with PAE, 2G per process limit
or not.....
existing laws already cover that, already regulated. this 3d printing business adds nothing new
