Strange , i never noticed any of the problems you are having.
Gnome works fine for me. Then again , i don't use the file browser very often , i do everything using bash.
I guess it's a matter of taste though. If you want a lot of eye candy , go for KDE , i don't need that , so i use Gnome.If you want a very minimalistic window manager , go with fluxbox.
The tests aren't a problem actually. If they where, she would just have remake the tests.
This is even more silly, it's against the notes, I can't see any problem from other peoples notes, since, well, the only thing which can happen is that other people get the same notes, so, she must be afraid for competition or some such nonsense.
Ok , then the only reason i can think of would be that she wanted to punished students who didn't take (enough) notes. I guess it's a good way to terrorize your students , but there aren't going to learn much this way.
The good thing about notes is that while everyone writes down what is important , they usually write down different details. So by comparing them, you can get a lot more information.
If i understand correctly , the problem is the some students cheat by copying over the tests and homework.
All the teacher has to do is give different tests and homework for each class. How hard can that be ? My teachers always worked this way.
Having your homework/tests is great way to know your mistakes and learn from them. I don't see why students have to suffer because the teacher is too lazy to do her work.
Correction : this is the best economic crisis to use as an excuse to lay off people.
The only thing they need to do to make even more money in the crisis , is adapt their business strategy to allow cheaper devices to run on Windows.
So , one strategy would be to decrease system requirements for Windows 7. Which would be a good thing , compared to the bloated piece of junk Vista is.
You have a good point , but it doesn't even have to be a demo :
What if you borrow a game from a friend for a while.After a while , you give it back , and don't play it anymore. The game is still on the computer, though.
Now , they could offcourse check whether you used a no-cd crack for it or not.
And then still , what if i download a game , while actually having bought it already ( so i have a backup incase my cd is scratched) ?
Is a copy really illegal if you have bought the original game ? If so , then aren't backups also illegal ?
And yeah, you can get guns, but how do you stop a mob with guns?
Well , you could shoot them. Or you could make your house such a fortress that they can't get in , even with weapons. Eventually they will shoot each other.
True , but that bytecode can't be executed directly.The JVM interprets the bytecode , and turns it into OS assembly code , to run it.
So , while the bytecode is probably exactly the same,what it is converted to can be different.
Also , in the java code itself , different code can be executed depending on the OS . Creating a new File may look the same in Java , but the implementation will be different, depending on the filesystem.
Simply put , with Linux alone , you can't do anything. It's not enough to make use of the system.
Simply put , the kernel is an important part of the OS , but it's not the OS.Add userland applications , like GNU , and you will get closer.

While you may have a point about religion often being used as an excuse to commit crimes , censoring it won't solve the problem.
Blaming it on slashdot won't get you any good karma either.
And what do you mean with "progressive" slashdot. Sure , we all like technology and new things , but apart from that , our political views are very different.
Well , it can be : just start up your own forum to discuss it. Easier , look at this thread. What are we doing here right now ?
There is no way they can legally ban you from talking about it. And if they find some way of filtering it ( wich may be possible , with Phorm ), using ssl encrypted sites should stop any filtering attempt.
I wondered about it too . With me , it takes like 1m tops.
After it's booted , it does a few extra things , wich make that i can't use everything yet, but i can start reading mails , etc. By the time i'm done with that , it's completely usable.

Oh i see , 'less is more' .
So that would be : more stable , more secure , and less expensive. :-)

"I'm still waiting for a Linux development product with an integrated forms editor, the same way that has been out since VB and then Visual C++ "
Gambas.
It's already there for a long time , and it supports a VB like language.
Anyway ,Linux is not Windows. And you don't need all that 'fancy stuff' Microsoft wants you to believe you do.
That's not 100% secure : an attacker could install a proxy on your machine on port 1 , thus breaking your security principle.
And yeah, you can get guns, but how do you stop a mob with guns?
Well , you could shoot them. Or you could make your house such a fortress that they can't get in , even with weapons. Eventually they will shoot each other.
If you kill all the population , then i'm pretty it's going to get noticed , no matter how hard you try to censor it.
Well , the trojan has been removed , and i'm sure the user uploading has also been identified and banned.
If it changes the hosts file , it's easy to identify, and remove.
We get trojan and virus uploaders all the time, and they are removed at first sight, so this is nothing new, and nothing TPB can't handle.
Actually , i see just the opposite : people go when the light is still red , but is already red for the cars.
Well , if it wasn't for Christians , then the atheist videos from Pat Condell wouldn't be as good as they are now.

Nope , he doesn't need to : everyone can see he is not a lawyer. Otherwise he wouldn't ask the question.
Sure , it's a slashdot meme , but in that case , it should have been 'first post' , since it is :-)
I do it all the time. It seems to work.
Well , i know that an allergical reaction is possible for some vaccines.
But still , it's pretty rare. And not getting a vaccine because you child *might* have a reaction to it , is a lot more dangerous.
But it would good if research was done into it , so that maybe alternative vaccines can be made for those people.
I think it's some sort off cryptic message . Maybe a google translate to Chinese and back ?
I guess it depends on the definition of an OS.
Simply put , with Linux alone , you can't do anything. It's not enough to make use of the system.

lol , apparently ( by the example) , i am at stage six. I wouldn't consider myself that moralist (is that even a word ? ).
This is a bit of 'if a tree falls , and there is no one around to hear it , does it make a sound'
In law ,if no-one knows you killed someone , then you didn't.Until someone finds out you did.
