Yeah, I know. Then I'm screwed. I'm fully aware.
Funny story: I back up my data to a USB hard drive. When a new Ubuntu came out, I plugged it in, refreshed my backup, and neglected to unplug it. Somehow, I ended up installing Ubuntu onto my backup drive. It was late, and I should've been sleeping instead. I rebooted into the new OS, and immediately realized something was amiss. Or maybe my computer refused to boot at all, I don't remember. I was all, "Oh crap! My data!" I realized that if I installed onto the backup drive, the original data must still be on the main drive. I was able to salvage my data from that, reinstalled the OS the right way, and fixed my backup. I see it as a testament to Linux how smoothly it was able to install onto a USB drive it was never meant to be on.
Yes, I have thought of getting ANOTHER drive, so I always have two copies. But then I think that's overkill.
It's good advice for any OS install. I run Ubuntu, and I wipe my drive clean with every new release. Even my home directory dot files. I keep my data backed up, of course, and restore from that. This way, I also verify that my backups work.
Um, take away root access from everyone? Configure the machines to receive updates from a central repository that you control. Define configs there as you see fit.
It's the same pet like identical twins are the same person. Likely less so because at least identical twins tend to grow up at the same time in the same environment.
With Windows Update? The average computer illiterate can choose from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome... As an additional bonus, users will get used to installing programs from trusted channels instead of from any.exe they find on the Internet.
Google recently removed Firefox from the Google Pack bundle, replaced it with Chrome, then added a direct download link for Chrome on Google and YouTube.

When I read that Google replaced Firefox with Chrome in the Pack, I was all, woah. I went there myself, and to me it looks like they added Chrome to it. See for yourself.
Another problem is the difficulty in parsing C++. Sadly that's never going away.
First of all, I am one of those haters. But you said that and I was reminded about this. A reformulation of the C++ syntax to be parsable by a LALR parser.
I do think that Ubuntu made a bad decision by including a beta web browser, I understand why they did that.
Once a version of Ubuntu goes out, the only updates it gets are bug fix and security ones. No feature updates. So if they stuck with Firefox 2, the "Why did you include a beta browser?!" complaints would have turned into "Why am I stuck with an old version of Firefox?!" complaints. Those folks would have to wait until August for the new Ubuntu. Or install the new Firefox themselves.
This is great and all, but I feel the term "robot" is overly misused. To me, robot implies a computerized autonomy. If the doctor controlled the thing, then to me that's no robot.

And maybe if they stopped calling these times "times," everything would happen all at once!
I'm not sorry.
Just because something is legal, doesn't make it right.
I find it funny that we don't trust computers with voting, and yet we trust them with our money. Our rocket launches. Our medical devices.

And that's why we're bailing out GM and the banks.

How would the Internet be much better without Wikipedia?
I wonder why Microsoft doesn't let folks get on board Windows Update for this.
There's also the sense of body position, whose name escapes me, but that's not an external sense.
It's called proprioception.

Nope. It's exciting that there are things out there that science still can't explain. Leave room in your life for wonder.
