I'm not trying to start a flamewar, just asking a genuine question:
What are the main differences between Debian, Mint & Ubuntu now?
I took some time last month to install and test OpenBSD, Alpine Linux, Mint, Mint LMDE, Ubuntu & Debian.
I just wanted a basic graphical interface + terminal + tabs + vim + zsh + ssh
I was suprised to see that Debian wasn't that much smaller or faster than other Debian based distros.
Ubuntu UI sucked, but I really liked the speed and small footprint of Alpine Linux.
That.
I cringe everytime I see "é" "ö" or "á" in folder/file names.
Even if you can, you probably shouldn't, just because it'll break at least one or two programs.
And considering that getting a PhD in science is no trivial matter in the first place, this is really the cream of the cream of the crop
I'm an engineer and I work with a lot of people holding PhDs, as well as "normal" people.
I couldn't find *any* correlation between "holding a PhD" and "being smart", "being creative", or "being efficient".
Holding a PhD basically just tells me that they sat down on some problem for a long time, and wrote hundred pages that only 1 or 2 people read.
Holding a PhD might correlate to "being resilient" or "don't mind doing boring repetitive stuff", but it surely doesn't mean you're the "cream of the cream of the crop", especially when "the cream of the crop" already has big social deficiencies.
Thank you. One of the best articles on

It's been corrected since, but yes, it would have worked.
A friend of mine wrote a small web application for french conjugation, with verbiste (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/verbiste).
You type a verb, and it gives you a table like this one :
http://french.about.com/od/ver...
My verb was "avoir && whoami", and its conjugation was "root"
Where did you get those values?
According to this table (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_energy_consumption_per_capita)
It's 9.6kW for the USA and 2.4kW for China.
I suppose you only took electric consumption into account (http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.USE.ELEC.KH.PC), but if you talk about climate change and global environmental impact, you've got to take everything (food, transport, heating & cooling,
If you want to help fight the conspirationists, it would help if you could stop using bullshit arguments.

You'd need a 25m telescope to see the lander base being represented by 1 pixel.
Yeah, I take those studies with a huge grain of salt.
Not too long ago, there was a scientific consensus on conditions required for life. Deep seas (e.g. hydrothermal vents) were far far away from the accepted habitable regions on earth.
The question is, why on earth do any computer with sensitive information there uses Flash or Silverlight?
You're jesting, but I'd say that this process (like most, if not all, thermodynamical processes) works because of high temperature *difference*, not just high temperatures.
On the one hand, it sounds like a cool project.
On the other hand, if they don't port it, they'll get the benefit of having neither Gnome 3 nor Systemd on BSD.
