Yes. Let us please go away from the supposition that the Internet will die without ads. It is bull crap.
@work I HAVE TO use IE9 without adblocking. That internet is a horrible, corporate playground and not a democratic information sharing system. Really? You let your kids use that Internet?
I bought CAT6A bulk for my apartment, and have a star-layout with wall panels in every room. The termination is probably not up to spec, so I expect a little lower speeds. Then again, it's only a home network.
The point of going CAT6A was to avoid (or at least delay) upgrade.
So far, CAT6A equipment is nowhere to be found in my price-range. And laptop hard disks are still the number one bottleneck. Going all SSD on OS disks and 7200rpm on the NAS.
Lol. I support Apple users, and apart from the few who jailbreak or run Linux; they do exactly what they're told.
They drink the coolaid. If Apple does it this way then it must be right. Even when it's shite and there's no way fixing it, it can't be Apple that's wrong.
The difference between Apple and PC users, is that the latter still knows he has rights. I am amazed at what kind of crap an Appologist will put up with.
The problem with communism, anarchishm AND capitalism, is that they anticipate all members to be either communists, anarchists or capitalists respectively.
For the anarcho-capitalism proposed here to work, you would require respect for property rights or laws. Granted you have respect for property rights/laws, you are back in our current system only with less government. Less government means you have even more have-mores and many have-lesses. Welcome the feudal system.
They are all theories that look fine on paper, but people is different. It's this difference we must cater to.
It's perfectly valid for the OSI to protect their brand. Say you had a company with a specific logo that you'd paid someone to design, registered and all that. Let's say a bunch of spotty 14 year olds stood behind a similar enterprise and made a logo very similar to yours. Say this other company was complete crap, almost criminally so, and you started getting feedback from prospecting customers suggesting that they would have nothing to do with you..
See where I'm going? This is not because OSHWA or the OSI are either party. But a brand is a brand, and if you work behind it you must answer for it.
Mod parent up! I install a new GNU/Linux every week in virtualbox or on physical systems. The fully installed system, containing office suit and everything, is usually up and going in 15-30 minutes. The other week my brother asked me to reinstall his win7 machines. Having loaded the OEM images (which took hours), the install itself took around 45 min - 1 hour.
I slipped my brother a Ubuntu 12.04 disk I had laying around. In case of trouble, boot that baby up and rid yourself of a world of hurt.
Personally, I use #! Linux, OpenSUSE 12.1, Fedora 17 and Salix OS; whereas my GF can't be pried away from her Ubuntu laptop. I've started showing OpenSUSE to clients, and they say: "I really don't care as long as it lets me do what I want." Apart from CAD users, everyone has been satisfied with a Linux install feat. LibreOffice.
So if it uses Wifi-range signals, we could prolly make a "spy device detector" or even "spy device blocker" in dd-wrt? With everyone using wifi, I don't understand how results could be so accurate. Please enlighten me:)
It's available for Linux as well under the name File System Visualizer, but you need ancient build versions. Abandoned long ago; http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ Could prolly get it to run on Gentoo though.
I'm not saying you're not getting what you want, or that it's anything bad with it. I'm just saying that you agree to the terms of the OSX operating system. It is locked down, you don't have access to its hardware, and will probably become even more locked down as Apple proceeds down the approved-stuff-only road. It's a trade off.
It is fast becoming a television type of utility, though. In a while, you might have to change OS to do the work you do. Then I hope you'll want to take a look at *nix again. GNU/Linux provides all the freedom you could want. It means more customization, fragmentation, and acquiring knowledge and skills. But it lets you do what you want to do not just now, but 10 years down the road. That's not because of the code, but due to the code being open.
It is more user-friendly than both OSX and Windows. I am supporting a locked down device with proprietary software on all platforms, and where both windooze and OSX fail, Linux just works with the opensource driver and built-in tools. It's a breeze!
Gaming is the only missing piece of the puzzle. Hopefully, Valve's recent move will invite more gaming companies to consider *nix migration. The future is bright!
Every fortnight, illuminated only by silvery moon light, rub a black cat on the failing drive -- always rub away from you -- while chanting the Lorem ipsum prayer.
3-4 repetitions should yield a fully working, fault-free drive. If not, the cat just isn't black enough.

I'll raise that with a "and he wouldn't have written there if it was completely private".
Maybe he was losing it. Maybe it was a cry for help.
I fount Gnome3 in FC17 snappier than Gnome2 in #! Linux using the same graphics driver. Could be the nVidia binary though. Or simply Debian..?
Gnome 2 is excellent, except it's slow. Slower than Gnome 3 on my machines. It needs to be snappy like xfce.
MariaDB is supposed to be the drop-in replacement.

I agree. Twitter is nothing but a forum of RSS feeds, but it has one thing; brand recognition. If you tweeted, you're a twat.

The problem is, when you finally get through to watch it, it's extremely boring. Who can I call to correct this serious issue?
Maybe you should cut down on the coffee?

Where's the open source community when you need'em?! ____ (I kid!!)
The dashboard analogy is an example of good design. You must access a lot of information without taking your focus from driving.
Maybe Gnome devas should hold that as an ideal, and not Unity, that's a television OS.

So you are a consumer thriving in the walled garden. Good for you!
Others enjoy greater freedom, at the price of customizations. We have GNU/Linux. Good for us!
But PearOS can run on any plattform!
You have to pay for it? Srsly?
... which is not an ideology?
Linus' work is or at least was possible thanks to the freedoms of software.
He is a programmer, above all. His 'whatever works best' simply does not work without freedom. In fact, it presupposes it.
