That Mint team has Debian releases, it shows they are planning for a Canonical-less future. I for one welcome our new Canonical/Ubuntu/Unity shunning overlords
Even worse, how utterly mainframe era in thinking, to want to refine and make even more robust what is proven, to add new features without breaking backwards compatibility.
Note we're still in the era of the mainframe, the mainframe can run the latest software technologies (even can run GNU/Linux), can cluster and share storage and do distributed computing using latest tech, while also running decades old wares. There's a lesson there for the GNOME dev scatterbrains.
Not really a problem, their project will be forked off by people who want a useable well-designed UI. Those distros that give alternatives will grow. The arrogant GNOME assholes will find themselves twirling batons and holding banners and leading a parade of no one down the street, watched by a crowd of no one.
Bur OK is seismically active, and has had plenty of quakes near 5 intensity in recorded history....this just isn't newsworthy, a slightly stronger than normal quake
You could start by reading that which you linked, it is all about people living long after Jesus imagining a sexual life not in the Biblical records. We can add you to that list, maybe you wank off while reading Bible verses and embellishing them in your mind. I can help you with that:
last supper: "this is my *penis* , drink ye all of it"
to doubting Thomas: "take your finger, and thrust it into the *hole* in my *ass*"
to the multitudes: "blessed are the meek, for they shall *be the twink at the bitch end of things*
to the accusing temple leaders: "I and my father are one *when he plows my poop-chute*
Fascinating stuff! you just made me look up whether GNU/Linux softwares do musicxml, seems some do.
Of course, my music composition tools for the 1970s to 1990s was a pencil, eraser and staff-ruled paper. but maybe now that I'm teaching my children we could try some free softwares to make the music lessons more interesting
we need more engineers if we turn the decline we're in around, to make solutions for needs of energy, pollution, medicine, quality food, new generation of integrated circuits once features go below 11 nm etc.
Maybe you spent too much if it was just for hobbyist use.
IBM had classic compilers and OS they just "threw out there" (no license, just included), you can even legally download (see left menu) them today and run on Hercules emulator on your PC. In the 1980s, there were ms-dos shareware IBM mainframe OS (evolved in Z/OS) and DOS (evolved into Z/VSE)environment emulations that had COBOL and 370 assembler, I wrote and ran there on my PC-AT and uploaded to 4381 when good (and later Amdahl). I did buy Turbo Pascal and Prolog but had free/shareware FORTRAN, C, Pascal, LISP compilers too (now somewhere in a rubbermaid tub on 5.25" disk). those wares are still on the web too.
By the early 90s, I was mainly on Unix workstations, and used GCC and gas (GNU assembler). So when I did run into Java at new job, I was not surprised to have free compiler (only peeve was that were was no source code)
Free compilers have been common since the 1960s. Mainframe vendors gave them away, Unix came with them, there were shareware compilers for the first PCs (encouraged but not required to make donation) for all manner of languages, from assemblers and COBOL and FORTRAN (yes, capitalized originally). Never a lack of free compilers in my lifetime.
you have a higher threshold for bloat and pain than me. I went the Debian xfce route, but Linux Mint is great, only reason I didn't go with that was because I like advanced disk and LVM configuration. But most users don't need to worry about that, and Mint is very well polished while I admit Debian is not and takes more tweaks to get everything working together.
with different words can be a great help if you can't remember name of package. Like say you were looking for plotting package or library "apt-cache search plot" would bring up nice list.
Not true, yesterday and today I was struggling with HP T5730 thin client to turn it into Fat Client with USB. Problem is that the thing is designed to not boot from USB stick or drive partition unless it has small bootable FAT partition (but perversely they do allow usb attacked CDROM or DVD boot). This is of course only due to HP being pricks with the thing's BIOS. Now I was able to solve the problem of running from attached external usb by making bootable small FreeDOS partition and install grub in that so Linux (and BSD too for other projects) could then be installed in second partition. So it can now run off of attached usb stick or drive but it can't be installed from your typical BSD or Linux net-boot usb image, not even the small ones.
Yes. so would employers let employees "top off the tank" for average or less commute. would parking garages provide it for addtitional fee? If we go to electric cars these questions need plans first
Behold the horrors!
Microfocus COBOL for jvm and j2ee (this possibilty came up with one of my clients but we went a different route): http://visualcobol.microfocus.com/overview/platform/jvm/
The University of Tennesee's Innovative Computing Laboratory is in the final stage of their F2J project, which will support Fortran 95 language to java bytecode:
http://icl.cs.utk.edu/f2j/overview/index.html
Ada to JVM, read about projects and products here: http://www.adahome.com/Resources/Ada_Java.html
There was gcc back end to emit jvm bytecode, but RMS killed it because of Sun's Java license at the time. Things have changed since then, maybe that project will be resurrected.
I'd agree about the java/j2ee, but Microsoft and it's C# need to die too. they serve no good purpose that can't be done better by other languages. I'd never want to give legitimacy, ability to sue, or power to Microsoft by using their tools
You mean for people without a tech job? Most of us here have them, we can afford a vehicle for $7 or $15K. Hell, some of us (not me) blow that on electronics over a 3 year period.
useless in who's opinion? Maybe you're not an engineer and your opinion means nothing. The car was found to have inadequate chest protection for passenger in front-end impact and inadequate leg protection for driver. A steel cage was added to rectify these deficiencies. In the USA a mismatch between vehicle kinetic energy in a crash is much more likely than Europe, hence higher standards for the very light cars.

No, Mint userbase jumped over 40% because of Canonical's poorly designed UI
no, that's brilliantly adding unnecessary steps to what should be a *single fucking click*, which is of course very dim-witted.

ah yes, here's the old RMS argument (different era of java licensing) http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-02/msg00895.html

you know, a few tries of
apt-cache search <description word>
with different words can be a great help if you can't remember name of package. Like say you were looking for plotting package or library "apt-cache search plot" would bring up nice list.
it's that bad, it is not ready for production use and you are just a volunteer guinea pig for Canonical now.
and I remember OS/2 on something like 15 floppies. It did more.

strange, I've had zero gui admin issues. Write in gtk or qt, it'll run in lots of places.
The average auto commute in the USA is 16 miles. Where I live I wouldn't use such a thing in January and February,would freeze butt off.
