nonsense, the chance of a civilization-destorying rock landing within the time span we are recognizably human is so very close to zero it is of no import.
not true, if you remember the Monty Python show "Is there Life After Death", with guests of several prestigious dead peope, there was un-aired segment of cost-benefit analysis questions asked of the dead, and it turns out dead people do not make convincing cost effectiveness arguments at all.
no that is myth, it is NOT easy to switch as I have pointed out in other posts. GNOME3.g* files fuck up xfce4, and a proper removal of all gnome package crap is not trivial. Sure can use Xubuntu, but it's a little heavy by default. I'd rather use a distro that puts in something sane in the first place.
not a problem. I don't use my cell phone to its full potential either, just for phone and alarm clock. when my company gives me a smart phone in the next week, I'll additonally use the GPS and look up transit routes but fuck the rest of that shit. it's just a tool
must places didn't even need a travois. The common solution, still in vogue in many places in the world, is to make the women carry things on their head. women can be mass produced without hours of labor with chisels and hammers, and are multifunctional tools: programmable robot, sex toy, kitchen appliance, etc.
there wasn't really that much to it other than Jaunty+Linux mint with addition of colorful screen backgrounds, no compiz, and gnumeric and abiword rather than LibreOffice (the creator had older machine and took away things that were considered performance drains)
It is difficult to put into words how deluded you are. Nothing we will do in space for the next 100 years will have anything to do with how a long-term sustainable colony with enough genetic variation to ensure continuity of the human race will function. There is no point in prematurely wasting money and resources and pretending we're "working on the problem", we won't be. We'll have little tin cans in space and little tin cans on Mars, none of them without heavy resupply from earth. These will be of no import whatsoever in the far off day when we can truly colonize space, centuries from now if ever.
you are far more likely to die of cancer than he is to kill someone by backing over them. 200 deaths / year? pfff, more people die at railroad crossings in the USA, and we're not going to do anything about those. it's just the Darwin tax, fuck 'em.
I don't know anyone that runs that shit, my windows loving and windows certified engineer friends couldn't get off that crap to win 7 fast enough. I have banking clients that standardized on vista long-term as part of their strategic plan, and made the unprecedented step of taking the effort to recertify all the apps for win 7, the vista suckage was so very hard and deep
it's also true, we DO need to use our minds to manage/farm/utilize the world for our own ends. the earth is an essentially immortal rock, and as for the biosphere and there are plenty of organisms that can survive it being much colder and much hotter than it is now (fossil record proves it). And the universe is largely uninhabited, we can certainly justifiable use any of the lifeless asteroids, planets, comets, stars, nebula we happen upon.
but now oil has many substitutes, since we have centuries of fossil fuel supply, there will not be peak of fossil fuel. so "peak oil" theory is useless and of no import.
I'm laughing at you as I have two virtual machines going to test a multi-tier app. later I'll edit a movie (using the vector supercomputer-type multimedia features of my cpu) and laugh at you some more.
the income tax is part of our constitutional law (sadly). even without that, taxes are also a part of our constitutional law, and the government couldn't carry out its (few) constitutional duties.
it might but it didn't, when I ran my 1992 corolla out of gas in 1999. sold it three years later with 135K miles on it and it ran fine for the next guy for years
public dance halls for dancing to pop music are WAY older than the 1970s, young whipper-snapper. my grandma went to the discotheque of her day in the 1920s
the theory had imagined some other sex chromosome sytem developing, it's actually happened in other animals. like maybe everyone being female but temperature or other environmental stimulus causing a kind of "male" as needed.
I can put gasoline into my empty car, the fuel pump will suck the fuel all the way to the engine, and the car will start. On the other hand, a Telsa can be made useless to the buyer, needing a $40,000 replacement. I'd call that "bricked" from point of view of person on street. This is documented problem with the over priced Tesla, don't buy one

it scraped an iceberg, it would have been better for everyone if they had hit it.
even Gaybuntu isn't doing that since they already had the Mauve Mare.
yeah, it now stands for Long Term Suckage, because that's what 12.04 will be doing for years
bullshit, it's a pain in the ass.
.gconf* and .gnome directories in your home directories or your xfce stuff will be partially fucked by GNOME3

looks like the same situation as gcc, some C++ 11 things to be supported in Visual Studio 11 but other not:
prominent compilers support it? the one supporting the most platforms, gcc, doesn't have it all yet
