"KDE Software is often criticized for being too complicated for an average user to use. "
By whom? Since when?
Me. If I think it is, then no doubt many people think it is. It;s why I stopped with KDE and just stuck with Gnome.
"The KDE developers are aware of it and now they are working on making KDE UI simpler. "
Thinking of GNOME, which was once somewhat useful and useable before the developers started talking like this, a shiver runs down my spine.
I would say that is a fair reaction, if you are thinking about Gnome. The more we compare, the more we sometimes drive things that way. We bash gnome now, defenders come out and defend it, and now we've really got a war on our hands. This happens often life.
"KDE usability team lead Thomas Pfeiffer Thomas prefers a layered feature exposure so that users can enjoy certain advanced features at a later stage after they get accustomed to the basic functionality of the application. He quotes the earlier (pre-Plasma era) vision of KDE 4 â" "Anything that makes Linux interesting for technical users (shells, compilation, drivers, minute user settings) will be available; not as the default way of doing things, but at the user's discretion."
Ugh. *Minute user settings* are actually very important to many non-technical users. This does sound like GNOME, unfortunately.
Sounds more like Windows to me. And that actually, may be a good thing. Seriously, Windows got a lock on the desktop because people liked it, and by people, I mean everyday joe blow secretary or the executive that can't even type his own emails or use a spreadsheet, in short the greater pool or end users.
People use what they like, the like what they can dive into, and later on pull back the curtain. Having tools to get into the guts is a great idea. And you know what, it was cool, at first, that I could pull up a terminal and look under the hood quickly when I used Ubuntu from the very get go years ago. That novelty quickly wore off when I ended up having to do these things. I like the ability, but clutter and a dozen options get in the way of getting basic things done.
I once read a great take on organization. If you have more than ten of something, you probably need another level for ease of use, be it files in a folder, icons in a start menu, etc. I took the time to redesign my start menu in windows, and boy I and anyone else could find right where any program was, quickly.
Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman should come together, and make a short video clip. And they should be screaming, "Designers! Designers! Designers!"
Well, how does it smell, since you've obviously got it on you? I'd advise you in the future to ask someone for evidence first, especially if you are going to make demands after you've just insulted them via their speech. For example, a better way, "It smells like BS to me, would you please supply some evidence and additional information?
Now, would you please refer to sections B. and C below? To answer your question, you must angle the camera's down so that they record only up to the top of the fence or to the property line.Private property has an expectation of privacy in Georgia.

Government workers are special people. But rejoice, dearheart, for you are a first class citizen! You have the right to remain silent, and anything you say or do WILL be used against you in the court of law. It's the second class and above that the first class has elected to handle such "dangerous" things. This is for umm, 'your" safety, yea that's it, "your" safety. (Phew almost didn't dig my way out of that one, that's why I'm a leader!)
Also, as far as I am aware, you are not allowed to have security cameras on your property that film parts of other's properties. Those laws should suffice, or at least be amended to include "roaming" cameras.
How high above the dirt do I own? In theory, I could just go straight up with a powerful enough camera lens and zoom in and see what I want on your property from another piece of property, possibly miles away. I see little difference than selling people rights to the dirt, but not to the minerals, and the legality of drilling diagonally underneath someone else's property.
Right now where I'm at on this is allowing someone to look at my property, as long as they aren't "above" my property, and if they do cross my property line they can be held responsible, including me shooting it out of the sky. I can always go inside, just like neighbors can peer over a fence.
Beyond the computational aspect, we also need to decide, as a society, if this is a technology that should exist. The privacy implications extend beyond that of simple voice recognition.
How much do they extend beyond that of so called "simple" voice recognition? I suppose one could rarely listen in when they couldn't have with current amplifying audio equipment. As a society, we've already decided that it should exist: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Can this be used as a weapon? Yes, so can a hammer. Ban hitting people with hammers, not the hammer.
Shouldn't we be shooting for locally owned network loops connect to municipal trunks? That's to me is the only real way to solve much of the Internet's issues, is to have the people actually own the networks....
I prefer to think of amendments as expounding on and clarifying further the Constitution's mission, as seen in the Preamble. In order to:...
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Last but not least is securing the blessings of liberty. Liberty, aka freedom is by very definition non-restrictive. When it comes to "We the people", that is citizens of the United States, everything which is not forbidden is allowed. When it comes to "government", the opposite is true - Expressio unius est exclusio alterius - The express mention of one thing excludes all others.
Do they? so, the ACLU and EFF are republicans? Ha! Name me the conservative ACLU and EFF.... I'll wait.
Both sides fight against government overreach in their own way. For example, most Republicans are against The Affordable Care Act. I think it comes down to it that conservatives in general are unable to allow themselves to compromise, while that is seen as the general goal of liberals, that is to compromise conservative values. I could see who I think is a true conservative supporting the ACLU more often than currently seen by conservatives. He, I have no doubt would if it was a righteous/moral/constitutional cause, weather he "liked" it or not. A true conservative understands the sword cuts both ways, but liberals like to "cut" as much as they can.
However, almost all politicians can't be trusted to serve largely anyone but themselves imho. I just want someone honest, at least I know what I am getting, I don't think that's too much to ask for. But I really liked, well it doesn't matter. He has true principles and votes that way, but everyone just about for some reason thinks that makes him crazy.
I see what you did all over the place. Lefties do indeed push for gun control, but there's been NO serious push for that from the feds. Despite this lack of a push, righties seem to think Obama is going to creep into their house and steal their guns.
I hope we can agree on something. And that is that the language has been molested to make easier to facilitate controversy. Example: "Gun Control". What is the definition of gun control? Well, simply, a tight grouping on a target. What is the correct label for the controversy? Gun restriction. But ewww, that just sounds... as nasty as it is. But then without an enemy, how can you be a hero? In short, the "GOP" needs those "libs" in order to justify themselves, and vice versa. It's all about division, which is an entertaining distraction. From what? The fact that American's are more moderate and not near as polarized as media portrays, at least until they too often succeed.
You know the parties switched. Old republicans are not New republicans. You know that. That's stated above, go read if you don't know that.... Yes, I know Frederick Douglas was republican. See above.
I'm not aware of republicans moving over to the other side of the aisle while holding onto old values, but I have heard about it happening the other way around which to say the least, "confused" things. What I do know is, and if you'd have read the info in the link, Democrats and one would think their foundational philosophy is credited with perpetuating slavery, among other things while Republicans are often demonized falsely. Are there racist Republicans? Sure. I'd have to say they're known as RINOs, and sadly make up much more than often stated. Are Democrats racist? Sure. Those be the race baiters that bully anyone that puts them in the limelight.
Can you provide some evidence of that? That would be neat to know. Although, even if true, the Feds have been paying for upkeep for a LONG time.
See the Long Island Motor Parkway and Lincoln Highway. As far as the "cough", well how far do you want to go down that rabbit hole? I'll just for now until you answer back, if you follow the money, well, you'll see and understand the typical political modus operandi. And no, the "Feds" haven't paid for squat, "we" did. I think you'll find, if you're not stupid, that in defending them you kind of answered your own question...
Lastly, as I stated above, I'm not aware of a "party switch". If you have some information, I too, would find that neat to know.
Damn interstate highways! Highways were originally built by private enterprise... and taken over... (cough)to make themselves look good and make, I mean take others ideas for money(cough) for your benefit.
I came here for Rule 34, and I got it. So now, we're deliberately trying to see if we can get people to like violence and porn... but with animals.(the violence) And, to get everyone behind it under the guise of something else and quite opposite as well... evil lords over stupidity everyday.
Is this what a free ride feels like? (when I'm already late)
Really and honestly, it is edge on. Google has said that certain services will be full identity required, while others will not be. Youtube evidently will not be. However, I do remember them saying I would have to connect it to a Google/Gmail account awhile back...
Like 10,000 knives, when all I need is a spoon. Maybe, just maybe if I cut off my tongue, maybe I'll have one soon.

I whole heartedly agree. As Mr. Miyagi (The Karate Kid) said, "No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher."
A similar incident happened with myself. The teacher wanted me to write in cursive. I didn't want to. Then after a few tests she said my h looked like a k. There was only like a month and a half and me and Chasity both had a star for every week for getting a 100% on the weekly spelling test. I knew she wasn't going to miss a word going forward, so I didn't even try. I never did reclaim the same interest in anything related to English with the same gusto. There were several times I was not encouraged in school. But this article helps me see an answer to this problem.
