Comment Linux package management still blows. (Score 1) 1215

Take Ubuntu for instance. A large amount of software out there isn't on their repositories. The "supported" way to get it is something called PPA.

Here's how you install a PPA: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware

Basically a bunch of command line crap where there should be a simple desktop client and hyperlinks. Sure it's not hard but it's still the wrong way to do it.

When I dream of a juicy hamburger its sure the hell ain't cultured meat.

Eventually there could be several advantages over your "real" burger actually.

1) No need to grind it up. Grow it in the proper shape/texture and cook.
2) You can cook it as rare as you like.
3) Get the exact amount of fat you want so your burger is in fact juicy.
4) High quality cuts might be mass producible.
