"Arctic Securities Chess Stars" is, to quote Chessbase, "This rapid chess tournament is taking place in Kristiansund from Saturday, August 28th to Monday, August 30th 2010. It is a double round robin with four players: Magnus Carlsen, Viswanathan Anand, Judit Polgar and Jon Ludvig Hammer. On Monday there follows the finals between the two leading players, together with the bronze final for third place. Time controls are 20 minutes + 10 seconds increment per move." http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=6641
So respectfully your remark isn't formally logical. However, I'll give you total leeway for being confused because the chess world has been a mess of "championship tournaments" for about 10 years. But the Arctic Securities was a typical publicity event. World Championships do occasionally fail to take first in alternate time controls like Rapid.
Ubuntu needs to focus on its core experience. It frequently sinks into terrible desktop user experience, like many Linux distros did when their growth was faster than expected.
The lessons of other distros should be a clue that focusing on infrastructure stability needs to be a priority. People will get used to a crappy interface -- just look at Gentoo -- but will not put up with unstable service for long.... Fixed that for you!
I want to repurpose your term! I never knew so many people can't spell "lose"! Thanks for reminding me of a Sig I wanted for a couple of weeks. Lose : Goats:: Loose : Goatse
However, Ubuntu kept having problems with aggressive October editions that had regressions and bugs. I think that's rather fast for an upgrade pace when it risks pulling even an open minded user into upgrade crashes.
Rumor has it Debian gave themselves a leap forward lately, so I'm starting to think I'm a Debian Stable kind of guy who might add 10 random things off Testing.
Wow, "the right guy to ask the followup is not the guy who asked the original, so someone tell AK Marc to look here.
Without descending into total pretzel-logic:
Given this quote from below:
"And a non-lawyer giving legal advice is not actual legal advice, as they aren't a lawyer and unless they present themselves as one, it is not considered legal advice."
Can we go one further and say that all slashdot posts are assumed NOT to be legal advice, unless someone says they are in fact a lawyer? (And even then assuming it's not a prank.) I would REALLY like "IANAL" to go away.
Notice they didn't buy the copyrights (pauses to check TFA), so just "buying copies" is totally stupid. All it takes is for the author to first, scalp the now-rare copies, and then release the text into public domain, and then within a month every net citizen in the entire world will have downloaded a copy.
Unless this is Marketing 3.0. "Do not BUY Operation Dark Heart. We're making it scarce. That's right, go back to your tv show now. We repeat : do not BUY Operation Dark Heart. Remember, it's Operation Dark Heart that you must not BUY."
Of course, teaching Comps 'n' Bots to lie is absolutely the End-Of-It-All. Our society holds together by a thread because machines don't (often) lie. Once they do of their own accord, we'll wrap ourselves in the Escher Room of Warehouse 13.

Hello.
What makes you think that it has been ages since you have chatted with me?
They'd also sue the Graveyard and the coffin maker for Making Available the burial plot and the coffin.

Sorry gang, I'm hooked on this meme for the week.
In your case:

'What they are' is different from 'what they say they will do'.
