Till you see their ridiculous FSF statement at the bottom saying they hate man pages and to check the info page... as if anyone would want to do that. I spent some time trying to find one just now but didn't. Sad face. The ln man page is close to what I was looking for:
The full documentation for ln is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
My personal opinion is that we should eliminate the corporate tax rate, removing the shenanigans altogether. Make up for this by making dividends and capital gains taxable as income.
This position is no longer at all acceptable since they have been given (political) free speech rights. Thus, as such a "person", tax them.
My first thought: "$1200 for an underpowered Intel server chip? Sounds about right."
AMD cpus really are dead, market place confirms.
The truth is that people who don't care much about computers and use them mostly as content-consumption devices are already flocking to tablets and smartphones. On these devices, a simplistic UI is fine – but the corollary is that the desktop market will be more dominated by content creators and power users, who aren't satisfied with the limitations of portable devices. So offering customizability and giving power users what we want on the desktop is more important, not less. Anyone who tries to go after both the tablet and desktop market with a lowest-common-denominator strategy is likely going to lose both.
Completely agree...The answer to the "intrusion" of tablets into the computing world is not to ruin the personal computer when used as such. Further when someone purchases a 27" all in one computer, is it really the same thing as a 10" tablet? Even if it has touch support? Do those two uses need to live under the same constraints? Does the classic - and predominant - set of hardware need to be heavily comprimised to please that 27" touch screen that likely still sits on a desk 3 feet away from the user? Would it be better if we all just went to sleep for five years and woke up, why do these processes which affect us all so much have to be handled so badly?
Synicism and sarcasm are not healthy or very constructive: I still use Unity and Gnome Shell but I want them to work better, for more people, not less.
Unity is by far the most widely used shell on Ubuntu, despite the depressed-hipster "can't live with unity" meme.
This is very condescending. Caveat: I use it somewhat currently, but I do not like it.
And second, there was a cultural shift. Ubuntu shifted towards leadership rather than simply integration. We thought design was important, we talked to the folks responsible for all the current DEs at the time, and they didn't seem to understand what was going to be the reality of personal computing - a highly mobile oriented world. So we led, and I'm glad we did, even though it is hard to do that.
So you talked to other desktop environment groups about it, they said no thanks, and you've pushed on anyways? That seems fairly understandable actually. Thanks for the leadership?
Purpose built platforms work, well. When Unity and Gnome shell strip things like sensor and weather applets, they provide less value. When Ubuntu adds the new software center application that does software searches worse, they provide less value. When Gnome (3) provides less options for showing themes and options (oooh its in this barely known hack and install this thingy and edit this javascript) they provide less value. Providing more examples would just be depressing.
I frequently remark to my colleagues how bizarre it seems to me that after 50 years or so of software engineering, we're still building awful crap. If we were architects, we'd be unveiling skyscrapers built using favela techniques of plugging any old crap together, in the mud, next to a river.
So... you know: we should stop calling it software engineering, and stop calling those attempting it software engineers. At least until it has been earned.
Solid red stater here who tries to vote against the prevailing party line as much as possible to restore a little balance... The things mentioned here are absolutely a road to the bottom. These resources are important and help to aid in the over all build of our nation and as such are important but they are on their own poverty level. Having a strong farming and range land mixture in years like we have had lately can be a strong stabilizing force. The last recession barely hit many parts of the midwest. In the town I live in housing prices were stabilized by a university, a couple bigger businesses that did not need layoffs, and a surrounding farming industry that has been buoyed by good production and prices (this summers drought was not overly harsh on the area.)
Now we all have lots of guns and (hopefully ammo) but I always joke with people that say such things: "Yes but how many of us own a first aid kit?" Such talk is thus very silly. No one here wants to turn into Syria, but that is one area where Obama is wrong. He said in (the last?) debate that our streets are not a warzone and we thus do not need assault weapons - but sometimes streets do turn into warzones... That said I still preferred Obama over Romney for lots of reasons, just not enough to vote for him over Johnson. In the state of South Dakota I am happy to "throw" away my vote on someone with ideals.
I agree. Another law that's wrong is the one that punishes people for things their parents did, like where their mothers decided to drop them onto this planet. If you fell out of your mother's vagina on the wrong side of a line, the US racist, fucked up laws say you have to stay where you were, and suffer and die, even though we have plenty of room here, because of a quota system that was designed to "Keep America White".
As a "White American", with a family tree that had immigrants in it at several points, I do believe that the immigration system here needs some updating to allow for proper opportunity and not just to those who are doctors or fit nicely within the quota system we think is fair now. However lost in the discussion of immigration is the reasons why it is occuring: why does a country like Mexico get let off the hook? Shouldn't they have a strong desire to improve? Shouldn't their people want that? Shouldn't we as a neighbor want that? What is keeping them from a greatly enhanced standard of living? Couldn't it be the case in the near future that "White Americans" wanted to move there for a job?
I think you are wrong though about abolishing the system, I believe in "nations" and pride in them. I also believe it should be fair for Mexicans to want to take pride in "Mexico" too.
