The sky is falling!!!

If these people/companies don't care enough to have upgraded to SP3, they won't care that support for the OS has ended either.

Damn you are right. Now my life does suck.

One of my favorite quotes relates to this;

Credit goes to Mark Twain (IIRC).

"When you have a watch/clock you always know what time it is. When you have 2 you are never quite sure."

It would seem to me, that anybody from Western Cultures that has an IQ over 100 would not want to live/work in a country like China because of its history of Human Rights violations and general intolerance for anti-state viewpoints.

If you are dumb enough not to know better I understand, but an intelligent person can surely see past the paycheck.

Its about fracking time.

Hey industry (Sony I am looking at you) repeat after me:

Open standards help EVERYBODY!

Can anybody tell me why ARM won the battle vs AMD's Geode processor?

If they didn't 'see/steal/copy' anything, was anything actually spied upon?

The mens rea was the attempt, but if there is no actus rea did they really break the law?

These are constructed using 100% pasive heating/cooling in mind utilizing old tires as a thermopile/heatsink. They are also designed to incorporate water recycling, solar/wind power generation.

There is only one small/minor/insignificant problem; our 3 primary carriers (Bell, Telus, and Rogers) have incompatable networks!
This has improved slightly thanks to the recent Vancouver Olympics, but still the lions share of the phones are incompatable.

Rogers: GSM -850MHz & 1900MHz
Telus: CDMA and limited HSPA -800MHz & 1900MHz
Bell: CDMA and limited HSPA -850MHz & 1900MHz

Unless you have an awesome phone that supports 800MHz and 850MHz you are SOL for voice communication and have to buy a new phone if you wanted to hop from one carrier to another.
Another fly in the ointment, even if your phone is capable (i.e. Nokia N900)Bell & Nokia do not operate on 'SIM' cards like the GSM based world+dog do, so you are SOL again.

They should have been mandated to all jump straight to LTE and drop this incompatable bullshit.

So this only works with one person?

I didn't like it, but i could tolerate it. What I cannot stand is the sidebar. Why the fsck would I use that when the links at the top already do the same thing but better/without clutter?

I always install the kde 3.5 libs so that I can have Konqueror (as a file manager) and Amarok as my music player. I have dearly wanted to upgrade my system but I can't because the v4.x branch of KDE has been so painful. (thank god for Debian and its glacial release schedule)

Somebody, anybody tell me when Kde is back to being as good as it was. I am not a programmer, I will take your word that the old tree was unmaintainable, and that a 'new direction' was needed. But how long until we get back to the stability/feature set we loved so long ago?

You have to wonder if they are gulible enough to drink the Kool-Aid.

Why not? Folks have been selling snake-oil for as long as there has been selling and snakes!

Umm, excuse me Government there is a secret I think you should know:

If your 'Critical infrastructure' is connected to a PUBLICLY accessible Internet, then you are doing something wrong.
