It'd help to not use an unstable version of KDE, then complain about it being... unstable.
All honesty though, I made the switch to Gnome when I was thoroughly disappointed with the direction KDE4 is going. Apparently, Gnome got a lot better since I used it last, because I switched the rest of my systems that night.
Precisely. I bought one of the Lenovo Suse lappys, but never even booted it into Suse. I had an Ubuntu disc sitting on my counter before the UPS guy showed up.
I bought the Suse one for two reasons- known linux-supported hardware, and not paying MS.
The laptop, by the way, is fantastic. Durable, high-performance, and with a docking station, replaced both my desktops.

That's right, you still have time to see the Grand Canyon or have relations with sextuplets before the Earth is devoured by a Strangelet [wikipedia.org]
In the classic distinction among material, psychological, and logical fallacies,[1] special pleading most likely falls within the category of psychological fallacy
Again, no logical fallacy here.
Regardless, there may indeed be things that may make one candidate better than another, which somebody not familiar with the intricacies would not understand.
I often run into people who hired contractors without knowledge of the field, and it indeed came back to bite them. If you don't know jack shit about cars, all you have to evaluate a mechanic by is the tidiness of his shop. This is essentially the problem with democracy, and why politicians are more style than substance.
The difference between philosophy (to which the Special Pleading fallacy applies) and practical use is pretty extreme.
I was there and as long as you use OpenVPN back to your home box and proxy everything through your cable modem you're going to be OK.
Yeah, I know. I was the one pretending to be your home box.
Yes, the danger of Defcon's network is probably exaggerated, but the fact is, of all the people in the world, the ones that know how to break SSL, MITM your VPN, etc. are concentrated in one hotel on one weekend. It's not smart to overexpose yourself in any case, but extra caution isn't stupid.
Gosh, that must be terrible for you, having to make all the effort to click on the story, then click on something else.
If you're really that lazy, and are using Thunderbird as your RSS reader, you can apply filters to perform actions on incoming messages based on keywords, content, etc.
I'm pretty sure that if it meant no more copyright protection, most people here would be okay with dumping the GPL as well.
In fact, my understanding is that the whole point of the GPL is to use Copyright law against itself.
Regardless, taking copies of music falls under pretty much the same spirit as the GPL, even if it isn't licensed as such. It's not a shocker that people would support both.
I don't know if it's in the Youtube video that started this whole thing (I don't think the whole talk was there), but he mentioned it in the talk at Hope.
The also have to call feces 'doody' and urine 'wee'.
I don't think pulling the merchant account is even an issue. It's more along the lines of 'We pay for advertising. We don't have to. Don't fuck with us'
There's a difference between racist stereotypes and racial stereotypes. Believe it or not, people of different cultural backgrounds actually do behave differently, and racial stereotypes are often as not founded in reality.
So Hilary tells a joke about an Indian guy. Big fucking deal. It wasn't a particularly good joke, but it wasn't really derogatory either.
Yes, she should have known better, but this is hardly proof of bigotry. Get over it.

Because it was a very good product that supports the efforts of the majority of people here. And apparently it wasn't marketable enough.

Yeah, but I did it all yesterday.
Now I'm bored. Anybody up for a suicide cult?

I see no logical fallacy there. Please explain.
Because they are hot.

Flamebait?
I provided a useful tip, admittedly in a rather sarcastic tone- a tone that was fitting for the pointlessness of the issue at hand.
What if your grandmother uses Firefox and something doesn't work as she expects?
My grandma would probably just click the 'Never' button every once in a while.
If something really gives her problems, she'd call me up. I'd look at it, and file a bug report.
Wow... the system works.
Gosh, that must be terrible for you, having to make all the effort to click on the story, then click on something else.

You're welcome.

Please, the 1984 commercial is probably one of the best of all time.
A commercial about nothing, from a guy with a show about nothing, and a company with an OS that does nothing.
Seems appropriate.
I come to that conclusion by process of elimination because there is no other intelligent reason for this
Yeah, because nobody else in the geek community ever posts their hate mail.
It's funny, entertaining, and it's on idle. Get over it.
I didn't even notice it was there, which is a good thing.
That said, I'd rather they used vertical real estate on my nice widescreen monitors.
Yes, listen to your users.
I find idle to be an aptly named entertaining time-waster.
Please count me as a vote to keep it, in all its green-backgrounded, hate-mail-filled glory.
It's a very tired joke. It's redundant.
That wasn't defcon, it was HOPE.
I don't know if it's in the Youtube video that started this whole thing (I don't think the whole talk was there), but he mentioned it in the talk at Hope.

Yeah, because all those pirate TV stations without advertisers are doing Sooooooo well.
