I know it's not that phone box model but converting them into a fleet of TARDIS would be far better. They could deliver you data before it has been sent. That's being fast!
They're making incredibly unpopular design changes without giving people any real option to do things their own way and driving their own userbase away. Unity and other ass backwardsness pissed me off SO MUCH that I learned to use Arch Linux just to get away from it.
Its the "we're going our own way" decisions - like Mir instead of Wayland, etc. This leaves you thinking - If I keep with Ubuntu I will be out on a limb, forced to use Unity, etc.
The problem is that if people really wanted stuff rammed down their throats willy-nilly, they'd be running Windows 8. Linux is an operating system that people choose, so restricting choices goes against the nature of the demographic.
You could be right - but canonical's bet is that there are a lot of people who just want something free and easy to use. My feeling is that most of these will try it then go back to Windows because its "easier".

How is anyone forced to use Unity in Ubuntu? There's still Kubuntu, lubuntu etc. And even with straight Ubuntu, you can still install whatever desktop you want, and select it at login.
Will be forced once X is replaced by Mir. You will have to laod the whole of Wayland (or X as a legacy) to be able to run other desktops then - which means that it will be very different from the straight Ubuntu. There are already questions in the kubuntu forum and about gnome ubuntu.

No they're really not. No more than the US is a place you can get shot for just walking down the street -- you can make the case that it's true, but there's a lot of hyperbole in it that other people won't pick up on. If you haven't been there, or don't know people from there, stop trolling. It perpetuates myths about the world that just aren't true.
Complete rubbish. Things like politicians being shot for opposing blashpemy laws,Kidnapping of Christian and Hindu girls for forced marriage and conversion don't happen in the West. I suggest that unless you have never lived in an Islamic majority country you shut up about "it being just the same in the US".
So, we're hiring a guy to report directly to the head of the NSA... so that he can report "hey, you're trampling everyone's privacy"... to which the director of the NSA can reply "I know." All of which we still will never know about.
I'm sure they'll make better use of the "guy" (could be a girl) than that. It will be an ideal channel for disinformation. "Our privacy and civil liberties officer has forced us to reveal that we are scaling down our surveillance of Muslims", or "In line with the recommendations we are no longer issuing compromised SSL certificates", and so on.

What, exactly, is a nuke fanboi?
Oppenheimer
I thought Minix 3.4 is already ready. It has Minix at the bottom, and NetBSD userland.
you must have jumped ahead, they are at 3.2.1 and it has very limited software and hardware support
I say we just trust Schneier unconditionally, because he's the good guy.
ALL HAIL CRYPTOTOAD!
I'm sure that if people did that en masse he would be immune to any threats or rewards offered by NIST
Gnu Hurd or Minix 3

Great idea, we should implement this yesterday
What's a "partial port"? Does it run in an emulator or something?
A good question. I assumed that it meant that not all options, facilities, or codecs are ported yet - but it is not clear from the release notes.
Not now.
That's not very hard really - just lay a cable to Europe.
And not via the UK either.
Another crack pot case.
I do wonder what would happen if Apple Maps told everyone to jump off a bridge....
There's a challenge to hackers!
These are fully competent, licensed drivers who turned off their own brains and replaced them with iPhones.
In some cases this could be an upgrade
Apple doesn't allow batteries of lawyers to be changed.
Every couple of years they just buy a shiny new law firm
Where exactly is this nation of Palestine you speak of?
I apologise for repeating the original poster's inaccurate terminology of the original poster, I should have corrected it to "Palestinian territories"

You're the guy who made the dubious rhetorical move of dubbing two entire nations "hell-holes".
believe me they are

There's a big difference between Palestine and Pakistan.
A lot of similarities too, they are both sharia hell-holes where you can get murdered for not being a Muslim
both dead more than 180 years (Weber died in 1920).
I never noticed it was after 2100. I didn't even notice falling into a cryogenic chamber. Weird.
That's because its talking about Bernoulli and Laplace!
Disgusted with the poor state of Serbia's research output, I will now also scam a Romanian science journal.
Sounds like a cunning plan.
The "Journal of Modern Illogical Studies" does exist, it's just called slashdot.
The so-called 'illegal earnings' were the student loans he received while in Texas.
I hate to think how much compound interest he will have accumulated while in jail.

At first glance, one would think "Oracle" is a company devoted to catering high end golf outings and boat racing.
They make software, right?
Only as a means of raising the money for high end golf outings and boat racing.
