KDE is the original and best Linux on the desktop. We're a large community of open and free software developers making apps for app platforms but our flagship remains the Plasma desktop, lightweight and simple by default but powerful when needed it remains the best choice for Linux desktops with almost any use case.

That list of proposed alternatives shows how bad "master/slave" and "blacklist/whitelist" terminology actually is for technical accuracy. You don't really know what they mean from the name alone. Perhaps over time a more accurate and descriptive conventions will be developed for kernel, and for general SW development use.

I mean, does "blacklist" mean "ignore and block request" or "deny request"? Does "master" in some context mean "controller" or "client"? Etc.

No deal Brexit means effectively shutting off the supply lines from continental Europe to Great Britian. It'll mean food shortages, medicine shortage, looting, riots and deaths. It will mean the return of terrorist warfare in Ireland. Lots of websites breaking will be a pain but not the biggest of problems.

That the UK government has allowed us to get this close to it shows that they are not competent but also that game theory on a game of chicken is accurate when it says it can end up with the worst case scenario.

Trolling, or a real question? Oh well, in any case, this is about sea ice. Floating ice. Floating ice melting will not raise sea level, the melted water takes exactly as much volume as the submerged part of floating ice, per Archimedes's Law.

Also, sea ice is thin, measured in meters or at most tens of meters. The sea level rise problem comes from land ice, which is not floating and which has thickness measured in hundreds or thousands of meters. It'll take time for that to melt, so people living in places like large parts of Florida have time to move elsewhere, possibly even without creating a US internal refugee problem, much.

Let this put an end to the silly suggestion that KDE might be dying, we are part of the largest gathering of end-user open developers at the most fancy venue in the centre of Berlin. There are 13 tracks of talks discussing everything from empathy to open web services. KDE is the most friendly and active community you could ever have the pleasure to join, it's just a lot larger than just a desktop these days.

I for one am rather happy with Ubuntu. Can't stand Unity of course, and KDE has never been my cup of tea (have given it a few tries, given up every time, it just didn't do what I wanted). I was really happy when we got Ubuntu Mate, that just does what I want, and gets out of the way.

But with Ubuntu 16.10 I'm really looking forward to try Lubuntu again. The old LXDE is a bit too... lacking in small convenience features. I hope LXQt will improve on that (plus, I'm a Qt fan in general). If it's a let-down (beta 1 still has LXDE, I believe, so not trying it out yet), I suppose Ubuntu Mate will continue to give me the naughties UX.

So it looks like revenue at King will be going down a wee bit...

Everything is redirected fusion, even including geothermal, because fusion is how radioactive elements in Earth were made. Only non-fusion energy production mechanism I can think of is gravity, in other words tidal power (also black hole accretion disks, but we don't have any, yet).
