Read this: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and stop complaining that Linux is different. Yes, you need to use the package manager, and only this way is the right and easiest. Don't tell me about singed applications and drivers from "a web site". I trust if it comes from a repository only.

Agree, and from the next news, "Dell Settles With the SEC For $100M, intel paid to keep AMD's chips out of Dell's machines" it's obvious that M$ paid as well. Dell acts like a prostitute.

2.4.0 appears to be buggy so they have to re-release it as 2.4.1. Simply amazing ;-)

This procedure describes how to use the hdparm command to issue a Secure Erase ATA instruction to a target storage device. When a Secure Erase is issued against a SSD drive all its cells will be marked as empty, restoring it to factory default write performance.

The should use ATA7 secure delete command instead, to flash the entire SSD (physicaly) to the initial value https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_Secure_Erase

You should not care about bugs in the browser. Use frameworks (sometimes with workarounds) or standard HTML4/HTML5/Javascript1.x code. File bug reports for whatever you find in browsers. The rest is just wasting your time and you might end up in the deadend as it happened with ie6.

I asked to copy it to me after calc demonstration. And I got disappointed to know that it would take few floppies.

The idea stolen from Dan Pink: http://www.theadclass.com/education/dan-pink-creativity-motivation-ted-better-life everything, including candle problem.

Absolutely agree - ICQ is a dead end, that's why the price is going down. Some big Russian companies like mail.ru has already switch to Jabber. Soon or later ICQ will be dead.

I see it as a war of two close-source technology with its own policy. Let them fight, we all will be using HTML5 and SVG very soon anyways.

Afternoon sleep is also a common habit in China and Taiwan after the midday meal. This is called '"wujiao()" in Chinese. Almost all schools in Mainland China and Taiwan have a half-hour nap period right after lunch. This is a time when all lights are out and one is not allowed to do anything other than rest or sleep.
Some Japanese offices have special rooms known as napping rooms for their workers to take a nap during lunch break or after overtime work.

I don't agree. Even family must understand all ideological background; why it's free and why OpenSUSE is evil. It will die eventually.

Please excuse Kyrgyz boy for speaking on your language. I'm sure the phrase "the web site slashdot.com" (low case) is the proper English and this is what I intended to say.
BTW, as "nullchar" pointed out bellow, your English does suck really big too 8-)
