How does the Opera company stay alive?
They've been in operation since... about late '90s? But how exactly? A feature story on them is long overdue.

Being able to set a keyboard mapping is the minimum I'd expect even from an emergency recovery console in 2013.
I've been doing that for years before 2013. Not to mention:
The Linux console has been doing all of the above (and more) for years. Remember, kids: Real geeks read the docs!
A year and half in simulated mars mission where you know it is a simulation has to be worse. In a real Mars mission, the crew will be know their activities are important: for the excitement to be first on mars, for the knowledge that a serious screw up could them their lives. On a simulated mission, you're just guinea pigs. Staying motivated must very difficult.
Yeah, let's not give those NASA slobs the benefit of doubt. Clueless as they are, they surely haven't found a way to motivate the simulation crew. They could have told the crew "the results of this simulation will make or break the Mars mission", for example, but - as a Slashdot commenter - I'm sure they haven't thought this stuff out very well.
1. post critical article about $product (make sure the article also contains rebuttals);
2. followup 2 weeks later with new $product announcement that proves previous criticism wrong;
3. profit!
Not necessarily carried out consciously by news aggregation sites such as this one, but possibly still orchestrated by $product's marketing dept.
Yes, I had 5.1 on a USB stick. After resume, my laptop's keyboard would not work anymore. No amount of documentation reading or googling solved that (the paper you kindly linked is one of the documents I remember reading).
I even signed up to a mailing list to report the bug, but never got a reply; so I finally gave up.
...if only ACPI suspend/resume worked well.
Linux gets it right, why can't the BSDs? Actually, I haven't tried it with NetBSD, maybe I will.
Luckily, now there's an economic crisis, so we're starting incinerating plants over here in italy too.
We're not starting, we have more than 50 incineration plants. The incinerator in Brescia has been burning trash and warming homes since 1998. It even won the WTERT industry award in 2006.
Why don't you get your facts straight before commenting?
Italy does have incineration plants and recycling facilities. Although it's true that there is still way too much reliance on landfills.
Americans sure are obsessed with their president.
If Linux were as popular as Windows, do you believe it would still be more immune to malware than the Microsoft OS?
if you were offended by this (what i actually find to be quite clever) joke
"wouldn't of" + "what" instead of "which" + "eachother" + "noones" + wrong capitalization + bad punctuation = You find the joke "clever".
BLISS is ignorance.
