Mr. Assange then replied: "I'm very busy and have no time to deal with people who prefer to do nothing but cover their asses. If Amnesty does nothing I shall issue a press release highlighting its refusal," according to people familiar with the exchange.

Hopefully this remake will cover the vital "keep people from stealing your umbrella" survival skills.
3. Turner, which takes old movies that have been around forever, and butchers them into an unrecognizable form. Typically they take a 2 hour movie, cut a half hour out of it, then add back in an hour of commercials.
You mean AMC. Turner Classic Movies shows full movies with no commercials, along with a few minutes of commentary before and after. It is exactly what a movie channel should be. Of all the channels that Ted created, it is probably the only one that has stuck to the original goals uncorrupted.

It should be "funny," not flamebait.
So you don't actually own one, is what you're saying? I bought a Thinkpad last year, and was actually a bit disappointed that every bit of hardware on the thing worked immediately after installing Debian on it. There's nothing to tinker with if it works out of the box.
Same thing happened earlier this year when I helped install Linux on a friend's Thinkpad. Immediate success, followed by tedious depressing productivity.
A quick check of the current offerings on Lenovo's webpage shows that you cannot buy a Thinkpad without the trackpoint. Similarly, you can buy a non-Thinkpad from them, which will not have a trackpoint. I think this is less them "phasing it out," and more the difference between a proper Thinkpad and a less expensive alternate option.

You think teaching intelligent design is something a taxpayer funded school should be doing?
I think local communities should make their own educational decisions, yes. They know better than you do.
How do "local communities" know better than "scientists who study how the world really works"? Is it really not anyone else's problem that these local communities would be churning out future workers and citizens that have no understanding of science and critical thinking?
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
