As kde developers will start thinking about and switching to kde5. I see another wave of bugs and instability, the same that made me switch from kdev4.1 to xfce. These architects get excited by new technologies and loose the focus on stability and usability. Let's see what will happen.

There's no secure energy source in the world.
Even your fire place and a match box are not secure.
As a rule of thumb, the more energy they produce, the more unsecure.
Then if you take into account the byproducts of a nuclear power plant these considerations rise even more issues.
Even solar panels have drawbacks and generate pollution during the fabrication and the disposal phases. Not to talk about the needed batteries which are not part of the panels, but are a needed part of the setup. And a polluting one.

RS232 communication will disappear soon (from January 1996, the birth of commercial USB).
And infact all major professional networking devices have a ... a ... RS232 console, packaged in some way!

Slashdot is doomed to the scrap heap.

... Oracle funded the further development of MySQL?
And that they made MySQL better that it was?
Oracle, the leader od commercial DB put money in one of the most popular opensource DB?
That's possible of course, but it sounds quite weird as far as marketing and sales policies. Ha!

This is a slashdot poll, you insensitive clod!

Apple is whatever it is because of its long story in taking unorthodox choices and consequent revolutions.
Which means a lot of work, a lot of betting and a bunch of wins.
What I've seen so far is changing a default color schema, a "new" font and a new naming schema.
Not even the "new" desktop is really new as

(Very first line in Wikipedia)
Ubuntu, like Unity, is a shell around something else (Debian) with very limited value added.
Just "going to the clouds" (tm) doesn't make a winning company (alo because everyone else is going there).
No, I don't think Canonical will be the next Apple (or even Microsoft). It's more likely it will be the next Mandrakesoft.

Nintendo doesn't understand consumers, you insensitive clod!

There's no warranty the mobile phone will work inside buildings!

I prefer live music.

As far as bugs.

Backhander? Insider business?

3. Stupidity + Ignorance
Fomr the highest company levels (C*O) down to the managers.

Nonetheless a nice one. Ubuntu and slackware was missing, though.
