AT&T is soooo hated

... what with NO USENET and NO CLIENT-EMAIL that 50% of its residential customers would switch within two (2) months. Slut scum b*stards.

The year GNOMES, Ubuntu sufferers forked off to Mint Linux

Re: Spot on

Just installed U_12.04 on a home-brew Xeon system. Unity is ... unspeakable ... but the GNOME-3 download is well referenced and includes a **classical** motif very like perfectly functional GNOME-2; good, no change for me! I emailed Canonical saying just that and offered them $60 (that's what RedHat charged for a year of RH_6 support before they crapped out) for Shuttlesworths fine effort ... just send me a mail address.

I have not heard back from Canonical.

Re: @Fibbles - @Fibbles

Folks use Linux for amused accomplishment, not for need, and simultaneously bytch-slapping *nix into the beauty-is-truth motif. So stop drooling ugly on people with **real** work to accomplish.

Polar bear steak anyone

Well the furry seal-slashing buggers can't just keep swimming now can they? Who wants PBs showing up in Seattle to eat chem-tainted salmon best left for $900/day guided fishermen! What else? Can we build 50,000 sq miles of ACed styrofoamed floating Las Vegas for the toothy carnivores?

So I say do 'em a favor ... don't fake 'em -- bake 'em! And the local (human) Florida babes will look great in fluffy white polar-bear-hide bikinis come winter.

Euro-sailors first Americans

First Americans were east-coast landed seal-hunters ... bisque-eating Frenchmen nowadays ... say 25,000 BP. The PC crowd infected with a Red-In'jun-first virus gags on that fact documented in Pennsylvania caves and Virginia beaches. Tuff titty.

Ubuntu reaches complexity limits: STOP !

I use Ubuntu as my production OS ... and it's as complex to make work as I can imagine dealing with. Not just "LINUX theory", but just the whole raft of feckin-A buttons etcetc. I have **real** work to accomplish ... writing ... simulations ... plus blabla generic web0stuff.

Complications required to perform those tasks are reaching a breaking point. For me, no change in UBUNTU whatsoever is good change.

Debian 6: Have your Debian and eat your Ubuntu too

don't believe you

The **smallest** step off the UBUNTU straight-and-narrow has always meant failure for me. Linux is systematically **non-robust** like that for a casual-lusr.

NO

That's right thought-crime bytch, you can't patent an idea good-or-bad. Ideas/concepts/algorythms ... belong to the COMMONS ... every last one of them.

You can only patent a concrete object with novel performance aspects. -- a physical machine. Tuff tit about the thought-crimes I know how it must aggravate you to lack power over anothers pure thoughts.

dirty energy = fun screwing Gaia

No bytch deserves a screwing more than bytch Gaia of ectopic pregnancy and cobra venom fame.

And the best screwing comes from dirty energy .. hehehe ... as you might expect Gaias pals are squirming like tormented krats! I say the obvious. Drill early ... drill often provides both the best "service" and the most usable energy for citizens and the most devil-may-care mental adjustment for our Jansenist lib.com energy_savers.

Screw 'em. **REM** Live-fast die-fast is always the best choice. Don't those sanctimonious jet-setting energy-saving pricks just piss you off? If ya can't waste it then ya can't enjoy it ... and if ya can't enjoy it why do it ? Drill on pilgrims drill on.

Ubuntu's Lucid Lynx: A (free) Mactastic experience

superb Luxy Lynx 10.04

A superb usrland outing for LL_10.04 for which most can be thankful. Runs flawlessly and intuitively on beefy modern desktop kit. I've happily run x64_LL since beta_1.

Appearence doesn't explain 1% Linux desktop use

Gawdshelpyou da lusr ........ should you get 1/2 step away from Ubuntu mainstream function. Just take that micro-mis.step and see what happens.

Minor Linux errors are unrecoverable by Joe Lusr. He might just as well take-an-ax to his kit as make a single_character_typo.

This happens in Linux to Joe Lusr once ... twice ... 3_times ... and whammo he's back to M$ for the next 4 years. Ubuntu Luxy-Lynx-10.04 is no better than RedHat_6 in this issue and it explains howcome modern excellent Ubuntu grabs less.than 1% of the desktop market.

Yes *BTW* both my kits are UBUNTU only.

Now do you understand ...?

... why free American citizens assert-the-right to arm TO-THE-TEETH. ? WE may or may-not shoot down that attacking Black_boot. That's a citizens decision and he will be judged on the reasonable-value of his actions.

But the POWER to do so --- that power is reserved to each citizen. It's called freedom and its absence is why we colonials kicked-out Brit arse 250-y ago. Mebby it's time for Brit citizens to do a bit of arse-kicking themselves !
