Good reason to skip this (13.04) version: It forces your hand on 13.10.
I.e. you'll have to upgrade to 13.10 after that no matter what. And if, god forbid, you'll have a hardware compatibility problem in 13.10 - you'll be screwed.

On another hand, if you're on on 12.10 now - you have the option to what till 14.04

Concern is not that he was let go. Consern is that for whatever reason he was not in a database afterwards. Apparently FBI not sure how that happened.

That wasn't chaff. That was FSB (or whatever) warning them. Those are very serious people. But I agree - interview is neither here no there: at that time he didn't do anything illegal. FBI had no reasons to detain him.

My consern is that his name was not fed into a database. What should have happened is that about 30 minutes after explosions, cops should have been at his door step with a search warrant. That probably would have saved that MIT cop's life...

CBS reported that few years back Russians warned FBI about older brother being radicalized. So FBI asked him, he said "nope", they said "ok" and let him go. And they totally forgot about it - he wasn't on the list of suspects...

That's "cooperation" alright...

And that's the thing - time is running out: Dell already started shipping WiGig docking...

Is it me, or it looks like FireWire scenario playing out all over again? Only this time it's not only USB, but also upcoming WiGig to jointly lock it into a small niche...

With internet connection it is much more handy to short Boeing stock on the first whiff of smoke.

2 hours?! For us, east coasters, 2 hours don't make any difference... for others will be too... soon enough...

And you can't use it in an off-grid solar setup - there aren't many charge/discharge cycles left...

Ubuntu based XCFE distros are screwed anyway. They by design were made for low spec hardware but guess what? 12.10 based anything does not work on non-PAE CPUs... Like, for example, those great pentium M based T41 thinkpads.

I mean, just send there a crap load of assorted electronics, optics, RTGs and a makerbot with a ton of plastic.

And build your experiments on location on demand...

And the big problem is that safety assessment of nuclear power plants relies on an assumption that operators and the government oversight are competent, there is no (and will be no) corruption and no sabotage.

That's bullshit right there.

Nuclear power creates significant financial risk and for high population density countries like Germany and Japan it does not make financial sense to use it (as long as alternatives are available).

For large, sparsely populated countries like USA, Russia etc - it seems alright (if you take threat of global warming into account).

It works like this: radioactive shit spontaneously decays. When lava is molten - all gets mixed up. But when lava cools down and solidifies products of decay have no place to go and get trapped in the lattice. So by counting isotopes you can estimate how long ago stuff became solid.

Same story. But Unity reappeared after nvidia drivers were installed.
I tried it and switched back to gnome.

unfortunately rockets don't fly on pride. They fly on money...
