Totally agree. On that point, I'd strongly encourage everyone to make sure they check the boxes for every platform they want to play on, not just the main one. Hopefully this will let the developers know that we really appreciate the effort

That's actually a really tough question. I think that there aren't any sources that I consider totally good. I generally read quite a few, and find one or two that cover each issue well. For example, I usually quite like the BBCs internatio

My point is that there's too much supply of low quality journalism. There's not much supply of high quality journalism. Perhaps there's very little demand for high quality journalism and I'm just being naive, but I hope not.

As a journalist, I may be biased, but I disagree. There is a glut of low quality journalism, but high quality journalism is still expensive and time consuming to produce. Doing research, finding new angles, interviewing people -- these are

Would you care to elaborate on why you dislike launchpad? I haven't used it as a developer, but as a user I've found it really useful, particularly the way it integrates with apt-get via PPAs.

To be fair, I think the industries have got a lot better in recent years. I stopped pirating music when it became easier to buy it on my smart phone than torrent it and copy it across to an MP3 player. I haven't pirated any TV shows since i

I've used Puppy quite a bit, and didn't realise it was running in RAM. I have to say though, that I still think Tiny Core has the edge in terms of speed.
