Yep And your insurance provider is the one making the decision not to pay for the procedure that will keep you alive We already have privately run "Death Panels" in place
I made the jump from 3.5.x to 4.2 a while back. 4.2 was the first usable release. It has had some problems and caused me to flop from Kubuntu Jaunty to Lenny/KDE 3.5 and back again.
I found 4.2 to have many features superior to 3.5, but 3.5 somewhat more consistent & stable. Right now running Kubuntu Karmic w/ 4.3.2 This is one sweet desktop IMO I prefer it to 3.5 hands down
I think all you should be very afraid You need to liquidate all your bank accounts to someone you can trust It's a tough assignment, but I'll take it Please send me your bank account and pin numbers care of this web site You'll feel better for it, no thanks necessary
On occasion I have to install windoz to dualboot a machine for the wife, so 1 application (Print Shop Pro, or something of the sort) she needs will be available. I always hate the task. Just installing the base OS to a usable state takes hours, 480 x 600 default display up to something usable being the problem (installing the video driver being the headache). Then getting the drivers for printers and other devices can take days of reboots and dicking with. Always frustration as I just don't have the time for such as useless OS.
On the other side of the coin, Kubuntu 9.10 took very little time to get up and running on this HP Pavilion dv7 laptop, which was designed for Vista. The Intel 8201I chipset HD Audio produces a hiccup on first boot, but the fix is pretty simple. Not sure if WiFi works, don't use/need it. Other than that just pure sweetness and a pleasure to use. Everything works.
For the record. My review of Vista? POS through and through. I am not impressed. Sure the display is pretty, but the OS constantly nags with popup messages and is very slow from excessive bloat. Windoz always want to get in your way from doing what you want to do. Completely useless OS.
My windoz nightmares as stated above, are from Win2k. Sure it's very out dated, but I can install it on as many boxes as I choose and after days of screwing with will run proprietary software. I simply refuse to buy a one time use OS from the borg.
There is a gotcha in this plan Remove the top 1000 sites from Google, and another top 1000 will replace them.
Personally, I will never use anything affiliated with M$. My bias does them no harm, but I just feel better for it.
Bing is just another crazy idea to compete in a marker place they will never devote themselves to 100%. M$ has a long history of making gutted applications and giving away for free merely to steal market share from producers of quality products.
Although I have not, and will never use bing, it might be okay for some, but not in my world. Sites taking the bait, dumping Google and switching to M$ will just remove themselves from 50%+ of internet searches. Another stupid idea takes shape...
Funny Occasionally when I try to run a command that requires su privileges on my Kubuntu box, the system prompts me to enter my sudo password. Not quite how you put it, but it's there
This is not an original idea of M$ It's already been done and in use right now.. and has been for years
bootlicking/astro-turfing 'studies' from some consulting agency or 'solution' vendor comes along about every 6 months
TFA gives NO details on the OS platform. I would assume FF on M$ would be more exploitable than FF on *nix, given the nature and track record of M$ Even more ridiculous is the slam of Apache as the top 10% most vulnerable. That is pure bullshit!
We'd be a lot more vulnerable if the government stopped regulating and inspecting utilities.
Which is exactly what happened in So. California a while back.. years & chains of events led to Enron, look it up where that ultimately went
The insurance industry also was unregulated several decades ago, look at the cluster fuck that has turned into now
Some people are persuaded to dislike the idea of government regulating public services, but when those public services become deregulated and privatized, the system always melts down sooner or later. Don't forget, the government is actually you & I.
This is a debate going on right now in the halls over healthcare. Once health care was privatized, we all got fucked. It's now become a big headache unraveling the mess. Don't let it happen again.. and especially with the national power grid
Sure, it's cool to read impact calculators and such, but..
you can bet that when, not if, a planet killer is approaching those in the know, will not tell for public safety reasons
you'll know when you hear the thunder & look up in time to see the fire wall/shock wave approaching You'll get just enough time to put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye
The article doesn't say what level of damage would have resulted from an impact. Anybody want to weigh in?
The article doesn't say how much, but some following posts provide much more info
What sort of damage to expect is hard to say. Sufficiently large ones seem to make craters between 7 and 10 times their width. Rocks of a few meters across often break up and do very little damage – like the one which recently came down in Africa. Asteroids of about 30 meters across are supposed to have the potential of being "City Wreckers" – thanks be to Goodness, no proof has been provided
and
The atmosphere does a pretty good job of protecting us. A 25-50m asteroid is about where you start getting nuclear attack energy levels deposited on an area of land.
FTFA "But if more diluted weapons-grade uranium isn't secured soon, the pipeline could run dry, with ramifications for consumers, as well as some American utilities and their Russian suppliers."
in addition to eliminating combustion pollutants completely in a dome environment, you'd have to outlaw smoking tobacco products as well
I seriously doubt the people of houston will go for that One of my favorite phrases: "A smoking section in a restaurant is the same as a peeing section in the pool"
Your problem is that you upgraded. I considered it but chose to perform a clean install to a spare drive instead in order to take advantage of the ext4 fs, among other new features you don't get w/ an upgrade. An upgrade always leaves unwanted old feces scattered about. Old settings that are incompatible with upgraded features. Even windoz turns to crap when upgraded. Never upgrade. Save your data, fresh install, reinstall data, enjoy your new system.
Don't be discouraged, karmic is worth it. Grub got an upgrade. It saw vista and 9.04 on the other drive and gave me working menu entries for them. But the menu.lst file is no longer there. It is now a grub.cfg script and is a little weird but can be edited to customize and reorder the boot menu
My friend, you're arguing with windoz trolls. there is nothing you can say that will make them think instead of blathering stupid shit
On topic, I would imagine the trouble people are having with karmic is that they are performing upgrades instead of a clean install. Everyone knows when you upgrade to a new OS, perform a clean install to a different drive than your primary. If you like it, transfer your data to it and go. If it sucks, nothings lost.
Oh, and I didn't upgrade. This is a fresh install w/ ext4 as filesystem. The install went smooth. boot times are dramatically improved over all other systems I run. Shutdown happens in seconds. very sweet
Thank you for that insightful post Karmic is a bleeding edge release It is also very stable on my HP dv7 laptop, and an improvement over 9.04 I'm loving it, although I'm running the Kubuntu version! Very nice indeed!!! Two thumbs up to the Ubuntu and KDE teams
