Well, the rationale for changing from spatial to browser mode in Nautilus is because much of the functionality is now being implemented in Gnome-Shell.

From the following post by Alexander Larsson:

The current ideas behind the design of nautilus is that its the main way to access files. By this I mean everyday stuff like finding and opening your files, rather than "file management" (reorganizing files, copying files, etc). This together with the desktop having links to important places (as well as being a repository for currently worked on files) makes this a sort of "desktop shell" in the sense that its how apps are launched to a large degree. This is also why spatial mode is the default for the desktop icons (and why browser mode is availibile in the menus as "File Browser" for those times you want to
do intense file management).

However, in the gnome-shell design a lot of the things nautilus is currently used for (locating and opening files) is integrated into the
shell and mixed together with the ui for locating and starting applications. This makes a lot of sense to me as launching applications and opening files with an application are closely related actions, and a merged UI could do a lot better than the current sort of double UI with the panel launching apps and the desktop launching files. The shell also wants to de-emphatize the desktop as a place for storing files in use and launching links, for good reasons (read the design paper[1] for details).

This leads to two initial conclusions from my side. First of all we should disable the drawing of the desktop by default. Second we should default to browser mode. This might seem a bit suprising (sic) since I've generally been on the spatial side. But, this has mainly been because I've seen nautilus as much more used as a kind of file activation shell rather than a hardcore file manager, and when that changes the rationale for spatial mode change too.

Nautilus and most other file browsers also default to Icon view, which is fine if you have only about 5 files on your computer, which was probably true for Windows for Workgroups 3.1, but these days List view should be the default.

Unless you prefer to keep a proper and useful layout of your data in which case icon view is a lot better.
And as soon as there are more than 20 files/directories in a directory, I am on the shell, anyway.

I.e.: It all depends on the particular use case.

You missed his point. Just because you passed a blood test doesn't mean the DA will drop the case, or even enter the blood test into evidence at all (in Texas, "you can be charged with a crime when exculpatory evidence proving that you did not commit the crime exists" to quote OP).

Plus, beyond corner cases such as this, there is a bigger issue at stake. The DA is taking it upon him/herself to enact a form of punishment. This is outside of the DA's purview, a judge and jury decides who gets punished and what that punishment will be.

If they were planning to tweet the names of all the people convicted of the crime, that would be different (though it has problems of its own as well).

Debian uses spatial by default. I know, because it's about the first thing I change on a fresh install.

In 2009, Yamaha has come out with what I believe is the first production cross-plane I4 engine for their YZF-R1 motorcycle. Previously, they were using it in prototype racing (MotoGP) in YZR-M1. The reasons for using a cross-plane crank in an I4 engine are numerous, mostly specific to motorcycles.

Trust me. The advanced anal massage techniques in Vol 2 make it well worth reading. I know what you're thinking... Why not just skip right to Vol 2? The basic techniques in Vol 1 are an important foundation and you could do some serious harm if you failed to understand those basic principles first.

This is why I refuse to let go of my clay tablet collection.

There's nothing out there today that can replace a good clay tablet, and I'm not switching until they do.

Or a BB engineer who gets a nice load of cash for being on call and an even nicer load of cash if they have to do anything... :)

I'm sorry but Fox News and truth do not go together. I can't trust a news source that goes to court over its right to lie and wins =/

Just to be different, I think a newspaper could run a follow-up section which only runs reports on events that have already been reported.

Example: Police officer shoots and kills an unarmed citizen. On administrative leave pending review.

In our typical instant gratification society, most people would read that and go "gotcha! whats next?". Well, some of us want more. I want to read about that cop going to trial. Or that cop going to jail. Or, dunno, why the hell the DA chooses not to press charges. Right now there is no accountability for anyone to see things through to the end. Once it makes a headline, some think it's a job well done.

I don't buy it. I want real news. Not this sound byte ticker bullshit.

Oh. My. God.

So much garbage in there I hardly know where to start. Lemme just deal with this little intellectual turd:

'Most people?' What about the exception to the rules? Like the occasional people who end up with cancer? They sure as hell can't save enough for treatment. What do you propose they do? Hmm?

There is something to be said for being an advocate for your position and arguing for what you think is right. But there comes a point where you have to cede that the final decision is made by those above you(or by your client) and that ultimately you must do as they want.

By accepting this, you can make a professional argument to support your position and still save face when you lose the argument. Pushing too hard will make you look bullish or get you fired.

As for the submitters original question, buying support for business critical programs is the best way. Or if nothing else, if you're using Linux, buy your distribution from a vendor instead of downloading the ISO.

Including the ability to make further updates.

The situation is precisely that the system was vulnerable, somethings have been fixed, maybe, the system is still vulnerable, only we do not know what/where/when. You might catch a disease or something. Better to die quickly.

Hire a lawyer.

Though as a rule of thumb if you're worried about the cost of hiring a lawyer, then your software probably isn't going to run afoul of any patent trolls.

Patent trolls generally don't sue people with no money.

And if you sent yourself an unsealed envelope you could... put anything into it later on?
 
This doesn't seem all that airtight to me...
