Does having Angry Birds on your phone get you better credit? What if you have 3 stars on a majority of the levels, does that show you have the patience to complete the levels and pay on time, or does it mean you sink your time into your phone and thus forget to pay your bills!

There are ALWAYS going to be people that hold crazy beliefs like this. Why does it matter if they can make a petition on some website that won't get any ground anyway? Also how do these petitions show that democracy is broken? People being able to voice their opinion (regardless of how right/wrong they are) shows that democracy IS working.

Any little bit helps when going against these bills.

Apple bashing? On slashdot? I don't believe it! :P

I also use the command line almost every day. There are even times where using a GUI is a pain. This comes up all the time in server management where 1) you really don't need a GUI and 2) it is actually a burden due to network limitations. Even on my desktop, I find that I can do many things faster in a command line rather than a GUI.

Thought the same thing. They vary the hours per week a bit to do some comparisons, say have a group be ~10 hours a week and another be ~20 hours. THEN they should do the scans to see if there are any differences in the groups.

I really hope it all works out. Gnome 3 obviously sucks (and by the looks of it, the Mint team hates it as much as we do), but it looks like they are trying to "unsuck" it as much as they can.

Don't forget the curved aluminum and glass bottle!
