Both of our KDE's use much more resources than XFCE or LXDE. And it's worth it. But that's still the facts.

And if you want to use name KDE SC for the set of programs everyone has always called KDE, be my guest. I will keep using the term KDE, thank you very much.

That's just doublespeak to cloud the issue of KDE not being lightweight... He mentions all the right factors himself: low memory, low cpu use, fast, not too many features. His complaint seems to be that there is no definition of a cutoff point from where something ceases to be lightweight. That's like saying you can't call an airplane fast transportation, because there is no fixed definition of 'fast'. However, most people who say an airplane is fast are comparing it to cars, walking, boats, etc. They are not referring to comparisons with the speed of light. And, lets be honest here, if a desktop environment is being called lightweight, that means compared to KDE and Gnome. Don't tell me you can not be more memory, CPU, feature and speed efficient than those two.

Disclaimer: I love KDE, use it every day and I happily trade my resources in for the features I get for it.

If Netflix could get away with raising prices without losing too many customers, do you think they wouldn't have done it regardless of this event?

For 95% of non-commodity products, the only factor in setting a price is what the client is willing to pay for it. Cost has some influence there, but it's not nearly as direct as many people seem to think.

This will probably just eat into the margins of Netflix.

To be fair, this is more of an airline issue than a TSA issue. As long as he has proper ID, passes security, and doesn't pose a threat, the TSA likely won't care one way or another. They never cared about fake tickets that could get you through security before in any case.

Of course, being able to get on a flight with this is new, so maybe they will suddenly start caring.

And of course, it may be 30k in lost revenue, but their actual cost per unit, including shipping, was probably closer to $5. I'd be surprised if they actually lost more than 10k on this.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to have static typing in PHP, but for the love of god, why not just pick a more standard syntax?

Some of their examples:

?hh
function f1(): ?resource { ...
}

public function bar(): (string, string) {

Might look good in some languages, but in PHP I would really expect that type before the function name.

Quite the contrary, if the customer didn't want this, they wouldn't care about it.

Don't be silly, the Mayan gods that went there first have been dead for over a year.

Thiefs like money?

The fact that all the answers so far point to VIM is no coincidence: VIM is actually winning that war.

"Well, if the talent isn't worth the money in terms of bang for buck for the company, then I guess that's that, employer doesn't get a new employee and the employee doesn't get the job. Its unfortunate for both sides at that point"

Given that you said yourself that the employees are nearly universally employed already (for a salary they apparently accepted), I would say that from the side of the employee this is not an unfortunate situation at all.

So according to the map, Netherlands is already completely flooded with just millimetres of sea level rise. Somehow I think they forgot some factors.

Never really thought about it, but we hooked up a small linux system for GPS-tracking the Olympic torch at the Youth Olympics. Of course, youth olympics are not really a big or important event, but it is 'official' olympic fire from Olympia.

The thing with Linux systems is that unless something really weird is happening, you would never know you are looking at one. I suspect there is much more linux around us than we realize.

What percentage of 'old' cellphones kept are older than 2 decades?
