Comment Where do I send my complaints? (Score 1) 617

Where do I send my complaints? Seriously I am new to Linux, and it is unbelievably frustrating to learn. Very difficult learning curve, and absurd user interface. I know open source is awesome, but I will take Windows any day over Linux, but I will remain using mac os. For people like me who are computer savvy and understand the reasons for user permissions, but are visual learners, being forced to use the terminal is not fun. Linux will not become mainstream until the terminal is eliminated from 99% of usage. The average user should have the option of using the GUI at all times if needed.

Environmental scientists will be trying to determine whether American eels -- the slimy, snake-like fish considered worldwide to be a food delicacy -- are dying from chemical pollution in Lake Ontario. Declared a "species of concern" under Canada's new Species at Risk Act, American eels have until recently supported a multi-million-dollar historic fishery in Ontario and an even larger industry in Quebec. But with rapidly decreasing numbers of eels, the Ontario fishery has been closed and the Quebec fishery is in serious decline.

An international authority on office ergonomics studies a chair that undulates, a mouse that vibrates, a monitor attached to a movable arm and other newfangled workstations. Back injuries also account for one-third of all workplace injuries. A decade ago most of these were associated with heavy lifting. Today they are mostly caused by people sitting for longer periods of time -- often in front of a computer.

The risk of testicular cancer was significantly lower among first-generation immigrants to Denmark, compared with men born in Denmark to immigrant parents and Danish men with Danish parents, according to a study published online December 25 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. This suggests that early exposure to environmental factors may influence the development of the disease.

Feed Science Daily: Engineering Students Design A Better Surf Board (sciencedaily.com)

Surfers in Hawaii had better beware. Four engineering science and mechanics students have completed "Surf Green" for their senior design project, and conclude that they can technically improve the surfboard's performance. The Beach Boys may have sung about surfing but these students decided to "quantify the feel of surfing," something only engineers would try to do.
