That seems to be a little simplistic. Extensions can't read my email files. Extensions can't create smtp connections. Extensions can't be dynamically downloaded by a web page. Even if I clicked yes blindly they simply couldn't. Could they?
I am often amazed by the real blind spot America has to the advantages of rail.
I put it down to the unbelievably negative effect of any Amtrak travel experience, I can understand anyone having a negative opinion if Amtrak is all you have had opportunity to experience. They are a freight network. Please do not judge modern commuter rail travel by their miserable example.
I don't think you quite know the facts. My one trip on Amtrak was quite nice (on a train filled to near capacity at times), and they are most certainly not a freight network.
You do realize that they are forbidden from freight operations by law, right?
Because they have a lot invested in their custom patches to KDE, and haven't bothered to migrate them to 3.5 yet. I suspect it's a simple question of available resources and priorities for them.
I know, there's the "stability" argument as well, but I think that's most likely bogus.
Er, what? Didn't a lot of the older PCs actually consume less power than the "modern" Pentium IV class chips? I'm not sure how that would be "as inefficient as you can find"?
Glad to hear that xenophobia is common everywhere.:rollseyes:
Hopefully you realize that story is likely to be completely bogus, right? For starters, noone is likely to have to pay to get a soda machine put into a school.:)
Sarge, the current stable release will be retired (well past time).
You do realize that sarge has been out for less than 1.5 years, right? December would be a nice time for a release, but I don't really think this can qualify as "well past time".:)
You will not get any functionality either. I just installed it on my desktop XP and the installation itself went just fine, except that Evolution will not do anything. Yeah, the process is alive, but no GUI, no action.
So, basically, it's only slightly less functional than the Linux version?
I completely agree. It is terribly unfortunate that even today the screen configuration tools for Ubuntu (and most other distros) are so weak. Multi-head situations are one example, but there are plenty of others.
If this runs using wine internally, then couldn't we have run Picasa using Wine before anyway?
You could run it before... with some issues. This is them cleaning up wine, and their codebase to make the integration a bit cleaner. Not a huge deal, but nice nonetheless.
Indeed... the homeip people goofed and deleted my account. So, I switched services, but haven't moved over all of my links (including my Slashdot sig).
Anyway, thanks for the link... looks like a nice site.
VS is a slow, overly complicated, screen sucking, bloated, and featureless pile of shit. With VS2005 they just caught up to where eclipse was three years ago.
I don't agree at all. With a few exceptions where VS.Net is superior, VS2005 is nowhere nearly as nice as Eclipse from 3 years ago.:)

Yes, they could.

Only problem is, they are almost certainly not using old 486 class boxes for servers on any widespread scale.

linspire hasn't done that for years.
Gentoo is definitely not bleeding-edge when it comes to GCC. They are generally way behind basically everyone else on that front.

And when January 1, 2050 rolls around, everyone will wonder why their query returns everything in the db. :-)
I think you missed his point. 4 kWhr for an entire year is impossible if you run so much as a light bulb occasionally. :)

Yeah, my eyes crash every time I see it's ugliness. Oh, not what you meant.
I completely agree. It is terribly unfortunate that even today the screen configuration tools for Ubuntu (and most other distros) are so weak. Multi-head situations are one example, but there are plenty of others.
Perl 6?
Yes, but would the return on that investment be worth it?
You could run it before... with some issues. This is them cleaning up wine, and their codebase to make the integration a bit cleaner. Not a huge deal, but nice nonetheless.
And how exactly would they pay for the Windows license to do that?
He also might grab the door and get in quickly behind you anyway. These are college kids, remember? So the next question is... would you report him?

I think you missed my point. Your original post claimed that guns are illegal in NYC, which is obviously not true.
Indeed... the USA Today story is about 6 months old.

Doesn't anybody screen these articles!?!?
Er, what?
Of course, those are calibrated frequently with magnetic compasses to compensate for drift. :)
