You've never really tried it, have you?
There's that nice big button at the bottom of the dash bar, captioned "moar applicashunz"
I did try gnome 3, and there was nothing of the sort (until you say, gnome 3.6, but I had already switched to xfce and washed my hands of gnome's "we-know-what's-good-for-you" attitude). The point of a GUI menu system is to provide options that the user didn't even think of. The gnome 3 "menu" sucks because it requires the user to know exactly (or even generally as someone else mentioned) what they are looking for. It stifles exploration of the available programs. The fact that they're backtracking is promising, but I still need a public act of contrition if they want me to be one of their users again.
And seriously? "moar applicashunz"? Are they LOLcats?
How do you launch something when you don't know its name? Sit a newbie down in front of gnome panel and they'll never find all of the "hidden" programs.
lots of jobs really suck, and lots of people are stressed to the point of health impacts and have considered quitting. Many of these jobs pay significantly less than IT wages.
Whenever I get stressed out, I remember the jobs I did before/while I was in college, and I'm happy to be where I am. I can't imagine what today's grads do without any work experience at low-wage McJobs. Consider quitting I guess?
Unless, of course, the door was forged in the fires of mount doom, hotter than any nuclear fire. They had to make it with normal levels of heat (I don't remember a nuclear bomb powered forge).
One is directed and sustained, the other is not. Heck, the most powerful nuclear fusion explosion in the solar system hits the front door of that facility daily, but you can do more damage with a pen knife because the sun's rays aren't directed.
So the packages were teleported from Germany warehouses to USPS facilities? If not, GP has a point, and the transatlantic shipping or customs could be to blame.
Who says they're christians? Maybe they're atheists stealing the products (or just trying to with the "delayed" packages). Apple sends its fancy boxes in plain brown outer wrapping too.
Physics is working against you. If it's hardened metal, the laser will have to be super powerful. Even if you're making a gun that lasts 10 shots minimum, the metal itself will cost more than $5.
Put the blame where it lies: at the feet of the news media. Months of talking about each mass shooting makes the shootings sound like grand evil achievements. The news media does it to get eyeballs for ad sales, but the result is that screwed up attention-seeking crazy people reenact them to be "immortalized". The news needs to stop feeding to trolls.
Exactly my point. It used to be computers one year old were hopelessly out of date. Nowadays, a four year old machine just lacks two extra cores and has half the RAM. Hardly crippling.
The PC's donated are a little old (4 or so years old),
I know we all remember the 90's with the incredible hardware increases, but I'm typing on a six year old computer, and we have a few eight year old computers in service at work. Four years old is nothing these days. Those computers will run more than just edubuntu, even if they're bargain basement. The only thing I'd consider replacing would be the HDDs (they likely won't last more than three more years).
I firmly believe they plan these partial releases from the beginning, and that actual sales has nothing to do with it.
I bet sales have something to do with it. They'll sell the first 3 of 4 seasons, then wait until sales dry up, and then sell all four seasons as a box set. Season 4 will never be sold separately.
Seriously, a game called "5 minutes to kill yourself" (and the wedding day edition) is okay, but a game where you run a sweatshop isn't? I'm guessing the top tier goal of the sweatshop game had the workers building iGlasses for an unnamed American corporation.
We will rue the day when the firemen are sysadmins.
Only because we use Halon/halocarbon instead of water. "300 people died from suffocation, but we saved the building, computers, and network. Good job team!"

If they're stealth bombers, how will the North Koreans notice to get scared?

Really dude? Way to make all of us guys sound like neanderthals!
Neanderthals!? I've got a neanderthal-slaying knife! It's got a plus 9 against neanderthals!
I know your just trying to make a joke but there ARE Women in IT and who read Slashdot.
OK, but if there's any girls there, I wanna DO them!
Amazons are people too!

It realistically takes at most 9 individual people to steal 9 individual parcels. Quite likely fewer than that.

The Summly application will be closed down
So they just wanted the name and the programmer, but not the app?
In about 75% of all cases, gun ownership was mainly causing tragedies.
I think if three out of every four instances of gun ownership resulted in a tragedy, we would have heard about it.

The rest of the episodes on DVD. Same with Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, etc.
Like whatever happened to their RedHat derivative?
2. Friend driving across the USA, his unit started recording everything in a deep magenta, for no reason, with no fix.
That's just America. You've heard of purple rain, right? Combine that with rose colored glasses and you get magenta.

No more sublaxation talk. Dr Bob outed himself.
I believe it's a reference to his 2008 campaign statements regarding new coal-fired power plants.
