If we would stop feeding the cows rich, for them, grain, and give them the grass they were designed to eat, they would not have this problem.

I can't believe that Germany would allow Greece to stay in the EU. The Greek budget is pure pork. Retirement age at 50 with full pay really! They need to be kicked out.

Sorry, but the reason NASA had to build the large shuttle was because they promised cheap access to space if they launched everything. They dropped a load in their shorts when they were told they had to launch Hexagon, but their big mouth got them into that one. Then they gave us the biggest economic disaster space has seen.

You must believe in perpetual motion machines as well. You don't take the government overhead into account.

What do you mean "making gun control advocates look stupid", they are stupid. Gun control has only resulted in more crime.

Ubuntu Is Hyper-Active At OSCON 379

Posted by kdawson on Wednesday July 23, 2008 @05:41PM from the as-one-might-expect dept.

ruphus13 writes "Ubuntu and Canonical have been very active at OSCON this year. They showcased a new distro, announced improvements to their code-hosting platform, and made Mark Shuttleworth available for a couple of talks and panel sessions. Quoting: 'Ubuntu Netbook Remix, a complete distribution designed to run on Atom-based Netbook PCs. The main difference that sets it apart from its big brother Hardy Heron is the Ubuntu Mobile Edition (UME) Launcher, a user interface created specifically for use on the teensy screens and keyboards of today's popular ultra-portable computers.' Canonical also announced Version 2.0 of Launchpad, their code-hosting platform. Enhancements include 'a planned API that'll allow third-party applications to authenticate, query and modify data in the massive Launchpad database, without a user needing to manually access the system via a browser.' Mark Shuttleworth went on to state that Linux's market share will grow when it has better eye-candy than Apple's."
