    Most of the users don't think the default "sucks". The GUI issue is of no consequence and the most trivial and superficial of things, as it is so very easily changed, faster than getting up to go change socks. Yet you whine.

    that's a fantastic server distro, but still not having massive market share of Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Sabayon, etc.

    that's just silly, Ubuntu has more desktops to choose from than the furniture section of the Office Depot near my house. I can think of ten other desktops just an apt-get or software center click away if you don't like the default and there are more.

  6. poor inkscapee & his imaginary friend on Ubuntu: Where Did the Love Go? · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu use is growing year by year, more people must think its OK than the "bad" Linux There are other distros with a better philosophy, sure, like Debian. But they lack the polish to allow me to get up and running quickly, I've years ago tired of having to spend dozens of hours to get everything to work. Ah well, I could say my ubuntu desktop is 85% Debian

    You'll find that most "preppers" tend to be *heavily* armed against punks who think as you do.

    Real engineers have to write well to produce estimates, proposals, specifications, scopes, ISO policies, test procedures, manuals and training materials.

  9. urban legend anyway on Earth's Inner Core Rotation Slower Than Estimated · · Score: 0

    The earth is also shielded by solar wind interacting with the ionosphere. As the geomagnetic field has gone to zero during reversals and primates of 780 thousand years ago survived just fine, maybe we should just file this business of "no protection without magnetic field" under "more nonsense oft taught in schools that is rubbish".

    Depends on definition. Defined by functionality, Linux and BSD are Unix, just not Unix(tm). As an old Unix(tm) sys admin and developer, I love GNU/Linux because it gives me a Unix workstation on my desk that is free and has freedom. And I love the BSD for internet facing boxes.

    Wrong, even in cultures that go nude all the time the female form is "worshiped". Ancient carvings prove this. You're just not a connoisseur, maybe you're gay?

    Code written in COBOL still runs and will never be re-writen (not in our lifetimes).

    The oldest of the "metal-rich" Population I stars only have a fraction of the heavier elements that our Sun does. It's the later systems that have the elements to make life nutrients and rocky planets in abundance. Since after 5 billion years we only recently had humans, maybe the evolution of intelligent life will be common but we're kind of early so no friends yet.
