Yep, running it at work and at home. I have it configured with a lot of custom keybindings which make it very fast and comfortable to use. E is fast on all manner of hardware and most of my machines are older so its a good fit. When I got a brand new laptop (T530) I figured I would try the latest desktops out there including Cinnamon and Unity. They are definitely more friendly but even on a brand new, well-spec'd machine, I found them laggy and unresponsive compared to E on an older machine. Of course, I do come from a WindowMaker background so I'm used to fast desktops...

So what you are saying... is that it's as good as the other Linux DEs out there!

On the upside, for the NSA, that makes a Snowden-like leak pretty much impossible.

I just started reading the Skunk Works book by Ben Rich. He took over SW after Kelly Johnson stepped down in the 70s. So far it's a good read, enjoyable for any engineer...

Knowledge is power. That's bullshit. What use is knowledge when you are in no condition to put it to use. These people are not stupid.

A magma reservoir for ants?! It has to be at least... 3 times bigger than this!

...with 6000 and one hull!

Power is power.

It was my understanding that everyone had HURD...

At Tanagra.
Wow, that is as dramatic of a story summary as I have ever seen on Slashdot. Made me tingle all over...

I wonder how much of an accident it is that Chrome's Incognito mode tells you:

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:

• Websites that collect or share information about you
• Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
• Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
• Surveillance by secret agents
• People standing behind you

I am disappointed how narrow and limited the education system is in North America. My experience is with Canada specifically but I think it applies to the US as well. When I grew up, in Yugoslavia, by grade 7 everyone was required to take Math, Physics, Biology, History, Chemistry, Geography, Art, Music. In total, about a dozen subjects. By grade 9 that included 2 foreign languages as well as Latin. This mean that every student, regardless of their "preference" was exposed to a wide variety of subjects and influences.

Having a broader education enriches your life because it lets you interpret things from various angles and draw on many references. It lets you relate to your fellow students better and lets you have richer conversations and interactions with them.

I'm sure many of you think that something like Latin is a waste of time but I still used it, almost daily, to figure out foreign languages or the etymology of words or what is written on a dollar bill. ;)

I wish we would stop coddling our young people and expose them to as much as possible. Only then can they reach their full potential and know what they want in life.

The last slide shows a figure of $20 million per year for, basically, spying on the entire Internet. Is it just me or does $1.7mil/month seem kinds cheap to be storing and mining that amount of data... I guess since it's a gov't operation, the real cost is probably 20x higher than what they say it would be.
