  1. Re:Linux Mint Debian Edition will use mate as defa on MATE Desktop 1.2 Released · · Score: 1

    I love mInt for desktop and I love Debian for servers, but I've found that since mint team uses unstable for basing their Mint-Debian it's too hard to keep up with broken things and updates that break things.

    you are talking out of your ass. in the windows world, you need help you get Habib in south asia reading to you from a script. you get apps that won't run in win 7 enterprise but are fine in other version of windows 7. you get apps that can't run on 64 bit. you get apps that security patches break. and yes you still get the blue screen of death.

    you are truly an ignoramus of the highest order. Your local library is loaded with useful information. every U.S. library I've ever seen constantly acquires new books. the most important thing in any field is learning basic principles. the library is awesome resource for that, especially as most human knowledge is of course NOT on the internet. plumbing? guess what pal, I do my own plumbing, the principles don't change every five years. Learn the basics and you are good for life. Ditto for household wiring, and your library will even have a new enough copy of the national electric code to be useful. you can learn the principle of circuit theory and go beyond being a mere "pc hobbyist" who plugs in boards and ribbons and think they have "built something" books can be borrowed for a couple weeks, over the evenings, weekends and time when you need entertainment.

    both wars were pointless responses to sound bites. the "taliban" we're fighting now isn't the taliban who hosted bin laden, they're long gone out of afghanistan. in fact, right now we're negotiating with the "taliban" that is there now, because we won't "win" over them. we're lining defense contractor pockets, we're giving power to some who crave it......but there is no just purpose

  6. Re:There is a long paper trail of those resources on Losing the Public Debate On Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I see a hideously long money trail of resources put into place for pushing the "cap and trade" and "carbon credits" scams, mega-corporations setting up funds in major financial markets to benefit, and tens of billions of euros of documented fraud already and rising.

    and who cares what Greenpeace thinks, just a counter-culture hippie activist group gone international. Fine if a person wants to be that, but I'm not taking economic nor technological policy from a bunch of drug-addled loonies. They even oppose sane non-polluting energy sources.

    clueless you be. We are talking the reality of 2012. Most human knowledge is still not found on the internet. The local library has plenty of current books that are not available free online, and even the poor can borrow them the same as my family does. You can file your taxes in the USA without the internet. At half a century old I have gone half my life with no cell phone, you probably think that a necessity too in your pampered delusional mind. You will NOT be building a packet radio network if civilisation fails, those plans are taking for granted too much of infrastructure that will be gone and resources that will dwindle away rapidly.

    that's funny, since in most the USA you can get basic cable plus internet for under $100 a month. they should drop some premium channels. then hook a $50 or less piece of shit PC running linux or bsd to the net. you remind me of the photo of our "poor" people (welfare queens) flocking Michele Obama with their iphones and $200+ footwear.

    a pampered product of a prosperous area, you have no idea what is important and essential. internet not even on the list. let me help you out. income, clothing, health are some other things in the top ten.

    Windows is not more secure, it is in fact the least secure of all networked operating systems. the exploits are due to long known bad programming practices. Here we are talking about that bloated cruft known as Java weakening the far superior BSD OS that mac uses, along with that cruft known as flash. but windows is rotten and insecure from the foundation up.
