i think english uses about 800 french words amongst the myriad words it takes from other languages . english is the original mash-up of languages, (perhaps the original open-source langauge?)
yeah yeah yeah. blah blah blah. thats why its marching onwards and upwards and getting more and more traction. i bet if you were born 100 years ago, you be saying the same thing about horses and that cars were unreliable and intermittent. Its early days in non-fossil fuel power generation so when this method of power generation has been around as long as the current methods, come back and moan then if its not working.
your fossil fuel power generation would also cost you a lot more if the governments took away all the subsidies and sweeteners it gives to the fossil fuel industries.
Not the ordinary user. I've seen people suffer really slow machines due to the build up of crap spyware etc and they still plow on regardless because they think that is the way it is. i've cleaned some of these machines when i've seen them and had the time. They eventually goes back to being slow again and they still wait for me to turn up someday to fix them again, they don;t call and say "its gone slow again, can you help"
" For users that keep installing malware/adware/spyware on their systems, it seems entirely likely that they'd have to do a clean re-install to get rid of all the cruft every once in a while." - you can't blame the ordinary non-tech users for that. if they use duff browsers then those things are installed silently plus if they don't read an install screen correctly they won't see "installl xxx toolbar" is ticked as a default.
so i have to replace all applications when a library is changed? sounds like pie in the sky of a Utopian ideal where all application developers in all companies are working to the same schedule and release at the same time. Enjoy maintaining that system !!
"This deficiency will be corrected by systemd." - can you produce a link for me where it explains how and when the systemd registry will be in place and how it works?
there is no need for them to change the bottling, just add the metric value on the label. thats what's happened in the UK, you still get 1 pint bottles but they are also marked 568ml. I'm sure at some point in the future they will dispense with the imperial measurement, resize the bottle down to 500ml but charge the same so make a nice little profit without actually raising the price
what a load of bollox. your stupid building analogy for example. you have to use that system if you work in imperial. if you build using metric, division by 10 is better. Have a proper look at an imperial ruler and ametric ruler and see which is clearer to read. The metric is because it doesn't have 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16th on it. You are just a dinosaur who no longer wants to learn something different even if its better
" little to do with day-to-day life and ignored untold centuries experience about what works best." maybe we should go back to measuring using fingers, palms, hands, shaftments, cubits as that was the way before standard measurements became popular
if you are wanting to supply your products globally it makes sense to have a single measuring system and metric is the easiest.
"The Imperial system is critical to British cultural identity and must be restored for that purpose." - oh bollox you sound like a UKIP supporter. maybe we should go back even further if you want to claim cultural identity of the old order is best http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...
i'd vote for a coalition if i could, it also means that more of the people in country are represented. if labour had been in coalition with the libdems in their previous time in government, we might not be in such a mess.

my thoughts as well. what is that patent office up to?

perhaps they pay up to keep a windows licence. I notice MS haven't lobbed a sue ball at Google for the self same patents.
Perhaps you need to do some research about solar before making comments like that
"If you must lie for your feudal coal barons, please try to think of some more original and entertaining lies."
that's never going to happen, they are a single trick pony of ideas
"Because it doesn't pollute, it's more sustainable, it makes our country less reliant on outside dealers,"
Unfortunately that common sense answer will be lost on the fossil fuel advocates

I see it more as a way to spread misinformation and bogus health advice
Expect or hope?

why not be really brave and take them on hand to hand instead of being a coward

you'd best move to opensuse then, mine got faster after systemd was introduced. or perhaps you're just trolling systemd

is the systemd journal file a registry with config settings or a journal with log information?

it might be a lot weaker after the referendum

yep, they've got more cranks and at the moment safely away from the big red button
