It is flawed, because it does not make any sense.

If two foods share a certain molecule, then that is the same as one food having the molecule and one lacking it.
You have the molecule in your mouth from food 1 alone already. You will not be able to taste, which food the molecule you're tasting came from. So it does not matter at all, if food 2 also has this molecule. That would only increase the total amount of that molecule in your mouth, which you would also get by eating twice as much of food 1 at once.

And we all know, that two pieces of sugar don't really taste any different than one piece of sugar.

Comment Cash in no matter what? (Score 2) 156

Anything I write must tickle at least someone's fancy.

Either I like a product, it makes the company happy, or I don't like it, it makes their competition happy.

So either way, I should get my money right? No need to get influenced by money.

Can I cash in retrospectively for all the things I ever wrote? There must be a lot of money in there. Just need to pitch it to the right 'clients'. $_$

Ubuntu is horrible for the common user.

It nags you about upgrading and if you agree, good luck, you will need it.
Every version upgrade breaks something essential. And I'm not talking about 3rd party software.

How am I supposed to tell someone, they have to reinstall their whole system every few month, or live with an ever increasing number of errors?
That is, if the system boots up after one of those dreaded upgrades at all...

Haha, so much this. :)

I had to work my way through all that pulse bullshit in combination with HDMI over a year ago. Tested a new release last week and it still does not work.

Also the whole thing got worse, because in order to simplify things, they completely removed essential options from the system settings.

So far I have had no Ubuntu version that survived more than one version upgrade. Something broke, every time.
I had more luck with xUbuntu now, but let's see how that long that holds if I ever have to upgrade...
