Of course, you can add solids and change the temperature or pressure. However that doesn't change the fact that the glass remains full. Even in a vacuum chamber the glass can keep containing low density gas.
I haven't managed to like running gnome3 or unity on non touch screens computers, and the classic session does not seem very classic. Gnome2 is still alive and well though (not broken just yet), I have it running here with some useful compiz effects. Just install gnome-session-flashback and some extras for compiz; compizconfig-settings-manager, compiz-gnome, compiz-plugins-extra, and you're good to go.
Anyway, if i'm right, optimus support under linux is not on par with windows.
Are you nvidia going to fix optimus on linux, or "for feature parity" are you going to make the optimus support worse on windows too?
Directly quoting someone from that thread because this was exactly what I was thinking of.
Not correct. I've used tons of Nokia's with Edge, later combined with UMTS and HSPA. First with Edge was back in 2004, the 6620: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6620-723.php
They did walk away from CDMA, like most of the world.
Looks like 2012 was the year of Linux on the phone then.
Is Linux on my Android phone? The terminal emulator app seems to think so:

Dear poor brainwashed windows users,
in the free world there is something called Package Managers
These wonderful tools makes managing all your software downloads and updates for your computer a very pleasant experience.
It's privating.
And it's legal in Norway as well as Sweden.
Sharing copyrighted and Digital Restricted Management content with friends, family, Linux, libdvdcss2 and ipod is all legal in a sane part of the world.
"That is true for most of the world but NOT for the Arctic."
Pssst... were talking about the Antarctic here...
great-grand-parent of my first post:... the arctic ice sheet has to be taken in account too.. grand-parent of my first post:
because of the properties of ICE vs Liquid Water the melting of the Artic ice sheet actually lowers water world wide.
It's moments like these I wish Archimedes was alive and reading Slashdot.
I was replying to the (off)topic that the arctic ice should change the water level in any way, which it does _not_
So a loaded cargo vessel displaces as much water as an uloaded one? What are you saying?!
_Floating_ ice never changes any water level while melting, freezing, breaking or whatever.
The fact that most ice in the antarctic falls off shore melts and adds volume and level to the surrounding water, does not change the fact that the arctic can melt and freeze without changing it's water level.
[qoute]The vast majority of icebergs are not frozen seawater, they break off from land glaciers and float out to sea.[/qoute]
That is true for most of the world but NOT for the Arctic.
[qoute]Even if the ice started in the ocean (as in the Arctic), it's still 0.025 cubic meters high![/qoute]
ERRR! Floating ice in the Arctic, salt or fresh, melting or freezing, does NOT change the sea level, never!
[qoute]Incidentially, arctic ice is not all frozen seawater, much of it is from precipitation falling on top of the frozen seawater, so you can't even claim that the water in the ice came directly from the ocean in the first place (not that that claim would really help any, because that water has been locked up for thousands and thousands of years, returning it to water would definitely raise the ocean level beyond anything in written history). Plus, once the water is liquid and continues to heat, it will continue to expand: at 30C freshwater is only 995.65kg/m^3.[/qoute]
ERRR again! Whatever kind of whater is on top of some floating ice, it will NOT CHANGE THE SEA LEVEL EVER! And the temparature of the water surrounding the Arctic is NOT 30C.
cracker Audio pronunciation of "cracker" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (krkr) n.
1. A thin crisp wafer or biscuit, usually made of unsweetened dough.
2. One that cracks, especially:
1. A firecracker.
2. A small cardboard cylinder covered with decorative paper that holds candy or a party favor and pops when a paper strip is pulled at one or both ends and torn.
3. The apparatus used in the cracking of petroleum.
4. One who makes unauthorized use of a computer, especially to tamper with data or programs.
3. Offensive.
1. Used as a disparaging term for a poor white person of the rural, especially southeast United States.
2. Used as a disparaging term for a white person.
__Important difference__: Cracker == person doing destructive computer activities only. Hacker == person gaining non destructive(although illegal in parts of the world) access to a computer network of file.
By using cracker here you avoid wrongly confusing and assosiating the word hacker with illegal or destructive activities.

Buy the phone for the hardware and replace the launcher. Replacing TouchWiz with Apex works fine.

The glass is always full. When you insert liquid into the glass you displace some of the gas, but the glass remains full of fluid.

That's a bug, not a feature :-p

$( ) and back-ticks does the same thing
Of course it has. It's called "add/remove software" in control panel. It's just painfully lacking in functionality.

Stop confusing yourself with the numbers.
