My goodness, what an ultimate collection of 80's-style propaganda crap.

This 'monster' created a greatest industrial superstate from the underdeveloped agrarian country. He won the second world war. He made a nuclear shield against the peaceful civilized democracies that nuked Japan and killed most of their own natives.

Mister, you are citing the lies of Solzhenitsyn. There are well-known figures: around 700.000 people where sentenced to death penalty from 1921 to 1953; the absolute majority in 1937-38 during the 'Big Terror' years due to the internal fights in the goverment and the rising Trotskism movement. Should that not happened the Stalin's powers would be overthrown and Germany wouldn't have any difficulties whatsoever 3 years later. The top number of prisoners in the detention and work camps was around 2 million people (compare it to the modern US). On average 0.8% of the population was held in the camps during Stalin era.

There was absolutely no genocide but a starvation from objective reasons. Same as in USA in 30's.

It's a mind trap only for such short-sighted and narrow-minded anti-soviet fanatics like you.

My reply was mainly to original parent: http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2807769&cid=39781843. I never had the described issues with C++ (virtual destructors, forgotten cleanups, etc). The "ugliness" and complexity of the code is solely a programmer's fault, not the language. I just tried to show that similar issues exist in Java, including resource leaks, forgotten cleanups, "finally" statements, incorrect object comparison, etc.

My point is not that strings are objects but that it's easy to make a mistake by coding == instead of .equals (especially when coming from other languages where no such issue exists, C++ or Python). How's that different from forgetting virtual destructors? Another annoying issue is absolute incosistence in the method name (or property name) that returns the size of the collection.

Java is not exactly issue-free as well. For example lack of comparison operator for strings forces a programmer to abandon an intiutive ways of doying things and to always remember to follow the language obscure rules. Same for unsigned bytes and integers. Same for resource leaks and forgotten "finally" blocks.

Blessing just didn't work

1. BIOS INT13H extensions allow for 48-bit LBA addressing so there is no problem in accessing large hard drives from the real mode.

2. GRUB loader boots from GPT disks just fine; one additional small GPT partition is required for that (BIOS Boot Partition) where the second-stage loader is embedded. It doesn't have to be in the first 2TB address space.

So it is either an oversight or ignorance.

Gnome-Do has all this plus tons of plugins for every possible function you can imagine (like virtual machine control or interface to google maps). Just press hot key (e.g. Win-Space) and start typing. Linux is light years ahead of anything MS can offer right now in their OS.

I own MBP produced in 2008. The battery has been replaced twice - the last one only worked less than a year. There are some artifacts on the LCD screen. DVD recorder does not record dual layer disks. MagSafe is "repaired" with duck tape; socket plug is very easy to crack when inserting into the tight power socket. Occasionally it doesn't startup (black screen of death). There are issues with Atheros wireless card. Quality and reliability? It's a fucking urban legend. Read Mac forums; I am far from being alone with these issues. Never ever anything from Apple.

Windows is all well and good until you need something that is not covered by its start menu. It's all well and good until some piece of hardware doesn't have any support at all (not even via some hack - there are no hacks on proprietary platforms). The problem with Windows is that even with all the advancements, it's still a crappy legacy unsecure platform that only works properly if you are administrator and stay within it's narrow selection of pre-configured OEM hardware that is known to work (Dell, etc).

What kind of sound hardware do you have? Never had any issues with mine.

Nvidia driver is a proprietary binary module that taints kernel. How is it a problem of Ubuntu?

Why have you chosen for the Gnome distro if you don't like it? Seems pretty stupid.

More details please - what is so messy about it? I find it way better than a horrid mess of runlevels and sysv init scripts different for every single distro out there.

Most of the people don't care about boot messages and text consoles. Besides this can be easily changed, if you have 15 years of experience in Linux you should know better.
