   Why is this on the front page? Am I missing something?

   You should list your phone number as the support hotline for those users of Ubuntu that take your word for it, and change to Gentoo to improve in usability. :)

   This article reads like it was written in 2006. The ideas that Linux distros lack polish, and that Ubuntu brought that to the table; that this is a capitalist world and Mark Shuttleworth understands capitalism, etc. are very, very trite.

   You should probably read more of what these theorists call mathematical philosophy (I recommend reading a couple of numbers of Erkenntnis, edited by Leitgeb, and perhaps taking this course) before passing such a harsh judgement. As a sideno

    The question is not whether you can do good marketing (you surely can) but what counts as good marketing: identifying and exploiting dispositions to behave irrationally in your target. A very good and very smart marketer will do this very

    Thanks, that was useful. I'm very surprised by the "it leaves when you arrive" bit in the second quote in that article. Is it something like an evacuated moving walkway, then?

    The title made me assume this post would be about downshifting. But no, it's about "refreshing" your looks and furniture by throwing everything away and buying new stuff. Ehm, OK.

    This argument is, at least, misleading. It seems to imply that the best course of action from the social-value point of view is to give money to DWB and then go ahead and buy an iPhone with a clear conscience. The best course of action, of

    [Sage](sagemath.org) provides a very nice, unified approach to NumPy, SciPy, Maxima, Octave (if it is installed), and most other open source mathematical package -- with the very important exception of [Gambit](gambit-project.org).
