One color plus white for each tile, no shadows or alpha blending or even bevel effects anywhere... Metro would probably be faster than "classic" Win2k style on a slow connection.

...and a tiny, cheap trackpad that made trying to manage multiple windows absolutely fucking maddening. Take off the rose-tinted glasses, there was a "culture of using an external mouse" with netbooks because you one to navigate beyond the login screen!

I've always been skeptical of ZFS on Linux because it's not in the kernel tree, but now that btrfs has RAID 5 and 6 emulation I'm considering moving my big file shares volume from from XFS on dmraid to btrfs raid6.

Either way, there are some good reasons for breaking the filesystem/block layer barrier...

You missed two steps, the full process is:

1: Add non-standard repo
2: Kiss distro maintainer support goodbye.
3: Install package
4: Kiss kernel developer support goodbye (kernel tainted: disabling lock debugging)

No, but USB-A are just close enough to symmetrical that you can try to plug them in upside-down.

Post it to ZeroHedge, and mention Obama in the headline. They'll be tripping over each other to buy your gold at $1800 in no time...

QuickOffice - Which Google bought 2 years ago and promptly quit updating (possibly to kill off a rival to GDocs pathetic offline capabilities) is a slow and rather dated looking, regular client-side Office suite.

Windows doesn't even enter into it. "Client-server" traditionally meant that the client ran on one user's local machine, and the server ran on a big multi-user remote system. In X11 nomenclature every user sits in front of his own individual "server", its unarguably backwards from standard usage.

Don't worry too much about the long-term implications, they'll get bored and drop it in a few years.

We have? I'm going to have to have words with the owner of the Punjabi restaurant across the street, they close at 9...

Because weather doesn't give a shit for national borders. If you want to know what's going to happen in California next week, you need to gather data over Japan now.

Well, the data is freely redistributable now. Heck, anyone with a good antenna and some simple software can decode GOES images at home. A private satellite operator on the other hand, would have to employ hundreds, maybe thousands of sales people, lawyers, license compliance auditors, DRM programmers, etc. to secure their profits.

Shenanigans. Link to the NTSB crash reports, please.
