that Mint Debian is what we might call a beta release, a bit rough and needing some polish.
Debian is great for servers, but needs Unix admin skills and google research to get a desktop up. Not for the common man, sorry.
Ubuntu has made a monsterous contribution to Debian, in that they have most desktop Linux people using a Debian-derived system.
Fedora's Adam Jackson sees Wayland as the future too. With the weight of Ubuntu + Fedora, someday all Linux distros might be pulled into it. X11 is a very bloated thing.
silly, Linux Mint is 95% Ubuntu, it will thrive as long as Ubuntu does and die when Ubuntu does. the Mint people just throw a little lipstick on Ubuntu, is all....
Of course, Ubuntu is 95% Debian too....
Been using Ubuntu for four years now on six different machines at home and work (including PPC version, btw), and quite frankly haven't had any of that sort of trouble. Since I have to use other Linux professionally, happen to know Debian requires a bit more work to make useful desktop, more manual downloading of drivers and changing/dev files. That kind of hours of tinkering was fun back in the day but I'd rather be up and running quickly. That Ubuntu has done.
Ubuntu hasn't "dropped GNOME", it's just a couple clicks away. You could even have a combination GNOME/KDE/xfe/afterstep/fwm machine if you so desired...
As an engineering physicist who has studied geophysics, I can assure you I real in the realm of real science on a daily basis.

I have great news for you, the banking cartel whose debt notes you use operates outside the laws of your land, financing genocide, transgressions against human rights, arms dealing to criminals and despots, financing both sides of wars, and even profits from both sides of the "war on drugs". Moreover with the recent bailouts across the globe, your descendants have been saddled with an unpayable debt load to their benefit.
Your description of the anti-counterfeiting measures is over 2 decades old, current bills have much more publically known measures and a few lesser known ones. And bills survive washing just fine with only a slight fading and fraying of the linen fibers, still quite usable.
You use the word "denial" as a slur, proving your basis for belief is religious and ideology based. You assume your view is "science", that is dangerous. The real facts are that c02 is not the dominant greenhouse gas on earth, that the fossil record proves C02 levels have risen in response to warming rather than causing it, and that the certain properties of the Sun drive climate and precede climate change. But instead you follow the politically paid agenda of the "climatologists", accepting their dogma and closing your mind to rational discussion based on fact and cause and effect. Very dangerous, considering the trillions of dollars in wealth to be redirected on cap and trade scams by the wealthy elite with politicians and "climatologists" (not real scientists but fabricators of flawed models that don't predict or describe reality) in their pockets.
This is another meaningless assertion made by a political organ absolutely unqualified to make any statement on the matter. Note the sentence "The report was not a review of the climate data itself." The Commerce Department can't clear someone of misusing scientific data, this is as stupid a congress declaring there was no data manipulation a day after the "climategate" leaks hit the news.
Rubbish, the minute concentration of C02 in the atmosphere isn't poisonous to humans. C02 is essential to life at the base of our food chain, it's a building block of life. That's part of the stupidity of our US EPA, declaring a gas essential to life on Earth a poison. The dominant greenhouse gas on Earth is water vapor, that's scientific fact.
I was a VMS sys admin back in the day, but ODS-5 really doesn't do anything that modern Unix filesystems can't do - shadow sets for replication, volume sets, shared in cluster, hard links,
no, I believe the only shops with OpenVMS now are those that had it back then. No one is going to roll out new system based on VMS. It's not a growth market, it's a ride-the-horse-until-it-dies one. It's something clients should be migrated off if they are forward-looking.
You're ignoring the other power-derived thing, the mainframes (which HP Integrity tries to compete) so we're talking IBM's $5 + $5 billion vs. Itaniums $5 billion
oh please indeed, Itanic is going down the crapper.
That's a funny line you wrote their "sheds the last vestiges of negativity". Microsoft has dumped Itanium since 2008 R2, Redhat has dumped Itanium for RHEL 6, the only things left are niche markets for HP/UX (market share plummeting as you read this, being eaten alive by IBM PPC / Z series), OpenVMS (well hello mid 1980s and early 90s), and NonStop (neat in its day too, but again IBM eating its lunch)
The ship Itanic continues to auger into the ocean floor.
I hate cell phones so much, I average two cell calls a day, and spend less a minute. My 300 minutes per two months at $30 card have piled up to 2500 minutes thus far. My wife has 7000.
I don't use phone to text, browse, take pictures or play games. The alarm is handy but other than that it's just a goddamn telephone to be shunned and marginalized.
I have shocking news for you, the ubiquidous cell phones in the poorest SE asian countries have more features than the average U.S. one, and the carriers don't charge extra for things like texting. What was prohibitively expense was a land-line phone, over $400 to install with its battery backup/power conditioner and the need to run new line (phone companies refuse to use the tangled mess of decades gone by). We're getting raped over here by the major carriers.
It sure is funny to see a peasant pulling a wooden cart selling farm produce door-to-door, wearing the hat and robe that hasn't changed for centuries, have a current pop ring tone suddenly erupt from inside their garment. Even more so for monks with traditional couple thousand year old clothing. I have a picture of one with cell in one hand and Coca-cola in the other. haha!

by strange coincidence, gold and silver transactions over $600 are now required to be tracked by the IRS

better yet, they should live without anything made by petrochemicals. Turn in your computers now, hypocrites.

there should be a counter for dead twits who were busy tweeting instead of taking action to protect themselves
California has earthquakes with a few dozen fatalities or more, much more often than once a century. One or two a decade is more like it...
but that won't be able to distinguish between a quake caused by seismic activity, or Chuck Norris kicking ass
The page I load says MojoKid submitted the story, CmdrTaco post it

you could have one with phones in crotch and ass area set to alarm with vibrate, and sell them in sex shops.
