If you ever want to see the 'year of the Linux desktop', we need to ditch this technically-superior but useless to most mentality and just do something that *works*.
If you ditch the technically-superior bit in order to play games more easily, you'll have a cheap copy of Windows on the desktop, not Linux.
If that's what you want, it's already available at piratebay. (Or what the heck, even a legally obtained copy of Windows is "free" for most people.)
Actually, the Amiga OS handles the concept of multiple separate resolutions on the OS level, it's fully supported in a system-friendly way without the need for any hardware-hacking. You just use separate 'screens' (I guess each 'screen' can be thought of as a single virtual desktop, but can have different resolutions and size).
Well... Look at it as "parity bits on steroids". This method is sort of the same, but much more powerful.
The most important difference is that you can't repair damage with a simple parity/checksum, but with these algorithms you can actually use the extra data to fix most of the missing data.
But TCP already adjust its packet rate if it experiences too many losses, it could instead adaptively choose to include more redundancy if the current level of redundancy is not enough.
So what, exactly, is linux to you? If you want a proprietary operating system with closed drivers, there are plenty. Bending over sideways for a paranoid corporation just to get high definition pornography in 3D on your notebook sounds like a real bad idea to me.
While you are still shopping your product around, the Chinese will be selling them for $9.99 at Walmart.
But how come you fail so hard you can't even beat them to it, when you already have a finished product and live in the same country as the market? Why are you still "shopping your product around", waiting for the Chinese to do a better job at producing and marketing your product? You have all advantages in the world to beat the Chinese.
And this move makes sure you will never consider using a Windows-based platform as a small office-firewall, if you ever thought about something crazy like that before...
It's also pretty interesting that out of the blue they issue this statement. Because, you know, they have absolutely no intentions on bringing Assange to the US after the trial in Sweden. Right?
Actually, once I spent a month in China, and when I got back home, eating with a fork and a knife felt so.. primitive and barbaric. You sit at the table and destroy the food by tearing and sawing.
That feeling quickly passed, but still something to think about.
But installing over the net won't use more data than downloading the CD ISO. It will use much less because it will only download what's needed, and it will download any updated packages so you don't have to upgrade right after installation.
It's probably a sane choice to move debian away from gnome and towards xfce, but I wonder if the reason is very sound. They should have switched to DVD as the default ISO media many years ago, becuase people who are on such an old computer that it lacks a DVD will surely want to use the less than 200 MB netinstall ISO instead.
I think that it's still important with an offline-installable system, but limiting yourself to CD when DVD has been the standard for ages is just weird and shows of stagnation and "get off my lawn".
Do you mean to say that the private corporation that owns Youtube can not freely remove content they don't see fit? How long must they keep the video on their website after having restored someone's files? Forever?

Yes, it would.

Hopefully they built it in a country where nuclear or hydro is still legal.
Well, this is not really just "some dude". His disappearance will be noticed.

Yes. It is a tool, used to coerce big business to give the user information about the product they buy.
There are a few other major operating system vendors out there that would be happy to have you as a customer if you don't like the GPL way.

and the inventor of endianness.
Only the inventor of little endianness. Limb by limb, starting from the least significant, as he would have wanted it. Unlike the rest of the world.
... car ...
Yeah, but no one here stole a car so your thoughts about that are hardly relevant, are they?

Seems to me that Assange did not break any law. Not in the "cablegate" case at least. Manning might have, which is why he's being held in the U.S.
Not very "upper" about that floor, it was from the first floor judging from the video and pictures where you could see the whole building.
It's also pretty interesting that out of the blue they issue this statement. Because, you know, they have absolutely no intentions on bringing Assange to the US after the trial in Sweden. Right?
Nothing of that is relevant to this action. It lists a lot of very specific points, nothing "or anything else".

Most "real" money in circulation is also only bits moving around. Some people argue that it is also fraud.
You mean something like this: http://i.imgur.com/u53R8.jpg

Those of you are meant to use the netinstall iso.

Not to mention good access to electricity, and a geologically stable area.
Check his headline too...
