and the graphical utilities don't update the kernel. Because the value added by Linux Mint is in Cinnamon, why do the developers need to distribute a broken version of Ubuntu when the Cinnamon DE could be distributed as an Ubuntu spin?
My guess would be that most - or allot - of Mint users are looking for more than just Ubuntu with Cinnamon. If that is all Mint users where looking for, there would not be a KDE version, a XFCE version, or a Mate version. If that is all they wanted, they would download Ubuntu and add the ppas for their desktop of choice. People find value with those "graphical utilities".
The author is confusing what he wants from Mint for what others want.
Cyanogen's branding of this feature is rather confusing......If you're keeping track, Cyanogen Inc., Cyanogen OS, CyanogenMod, and Cyanogen's Mod platform are now all separate entities.
Liberal/progressives/socialists/etc know this but also know that giving amounts instead of percentages is an easy way to bring hate and anger and resentment to people.
One guy makes 10 thousand and his neighbor makes 100 thousand. Taxes get cut 5% across the board.
The guy thinks it's fair when he is told they both get to keep an extra 5% of their salary.
Alternatively
The first guy is told that he is being cheated by the rich. Instead of percentages, he is told that the rich guy gets a $500 tax cut and that he is only getting a $50 tax cut. The first guy is now angry and outraged and will want to vote someone in that will make that other guy suffer for screwing him over.
Plug all your stupid wall warts into a power strip, when you get done charging, turn off the power strip.
Is this correct? Last year, we had rolling blackout in San Antonio (might have been 2 years ago). The power company told us that we had to unplug the device to actually save energy. They stated that plugged in is always draining power regardless if it's on our off.
I hate what you wrote because I love open-source but I have seen all these complaints before.
Company doesn't open source and they are the devil Company partially open sources and they are the devil for not opening it all Company completely open sources and then we hear that they are just trying to get free labor and they are still the devil.
You go on a lot of two day trips where a wall socket wasn't available? And on these trips, the cigarette lighter must not work and can't send out a charge.
It's starting to change. I guess companies do get tired of being made the target of blame for all of our countries woes http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-...
they have to agree to certain rules that might seem weird in a free market
There's no such fucking thing as a fucking free fucking market... a free market is a lie, because companies will always lie, cheat, steal, collude, and otherwise game the system.
There never has been, and never will be, a free fucking market.
You can pretty much replace corporations with anything run by people (including the government).
Difference is, it's easier (not easy, just easier) to get out of the way of a corporation than it is to get out of the way of government.
Example, I hated sprints customer service so I switched to t mobile. I have my city's electrical company but the cost of switching away from that is much higher (have to move, find a new job, etc.)
Gygax had something of a reputation for borrowing things without giving proper credit, and this latest revelation shows how the open and collaborative environment of early gaming was quickly exploited for commercial purposes.
We get it. Commercial is bad. Everything should be non-profit. We should all make the same wage. We should all have the same stuff.
You must work for a pretty small company if you are used to executives being involved in programing. Heck, most probably have no idea what a backdoor account is.
One of the problems I have is with my work passwords. I used to put some thought and creativity into my passwords. But the policy of having to change my password every 3 months (and 1 month for some apps) has made it difficult to keep up with security / ability to remember my "clever" password.
Now it's a simple password with a * in it and a number in it. Then I add 1 to that number which covers me for 9 months.
Buy Your Own Device. It's a means to allow your employer to skimp on the hardware expenditure and get you to unwittingly pay instead, and feel empowered for it. You don't even get to keep your device for personal use, as security requirements demand the employer maintain control over it so long as it is used for business purposes.
I haven't worked for a job where I was not allowed to use my BYOD for personal use. It was a pain that they could remote wipe my phone, but with Android and root, it was pretty easy to block that ability.
My new job uses GOOD which sounds good in principle - a sandboxed corporate environment that doesn't interact with my personal stuff. Problem is that GOOD checks for root and I'd rather use adaway and lug my laptop around than get work emails/calender on my phone. There is an old version of GOOD that I can use along with a xposed module but that version no longer works very well with my phone (it freezes allot).
Nope - I assumed the summary was correct. I'll own that mistake.
For example, the summary states that there was no IQ drop but ignored
Marijuana users had lower test scores relative to nonusers and showed a significant decline in crystallized intelligence between preadolescence and late adolescence.
Standardized measures of intelligence were administered at ages 9–12 y, before marijuana involvement, and again at ages 17–20 y. Marijuana use was self-reported at the time of each cognitive assessment as well as during the intervening period. Marijuana users had lower test scores relative to nonusers and showed a significant decline in crystallized intelligence between preadolescence and late adolescence. However, there was no evidence of a dose–response relationship between frequency of use and intelligence quotient (IQ) change.
Your fiction of "what if" and fear of the unknown is how we ended up with prohibition in the first place. This attitude that "if it feels good it must be bad for you" is puritan, religious non-sense.
The test was done to prove or dispute a hypothesis. If it was settled and indisputable, there would have been no need for the test.
You get bonus troll points for somehow working in prohibition, religion, and puritan in your response when none of that was in the post you responded to.
I always wonder what kind of parent would allow their kids to be tested like this. If the study found that it did decrease intelligence, they just damaged their kid for the rest of his/her life. And for what? To justify teens using marijuana?
While it's nice and all that we're getting 72x more performance per watt, since we are at 100x times the performance, that means that we are using 100/72=1.39 times the power that we used to.
If we are getting that much of a performance boost, we are most likely not spending as much time maxing out the card's performance (and using that extra energy) as we were before.
It's because Christians were not allowed to charge interest on loans so they hired Jews to do it for them. It got them around the Rome issue and gave the rich a race of people to hate simply for doing their job.
you can pretend that premiums never rose before Obamacare, but the simple fact is premiums have always been increasing, which is expected in an economy that includes growth and inflation.
Yes, but Obama pitched that premiums would go down.

I'm curious on what this means. Does every application that was compiled with this flaw need to be recompiled? Just ones that rely on DNS, or none?
My company has locations in texas, california, and more rural areas, and the starting pay is such that the rest of us never seem to catch up with cali
As another poster mentioned, the difference is the cost of living. I can have a pretty good life in San Antonio making 50 +

Standardized measures of intelligence were administered at ages 9–12 y, before marijuana involvement, and again at ages 17–20 y. Marijuana use was self-reported at the time of each cognitive assessment as well as during the intervening period. Marijuana users had lower test scores relative to nonusers and showed a significant decline in crystallized intelligence between preadolescence and late adolescence.

And the Jews willingly and knowingly engage in this immoral behavior
They didn't think the behavior was immoral
the Christians forced them out of all professions and into banking?
Not sure if that reply was meant for my post but I didn't write that
On the plus side, when I see that term I already know that I am about to read some bitch or snarky comment about the US.
