The 360 was delivered in 1965. Conway's Game of Life was devised in 1970. I'm pretty sure it wasn't 1955. :-)

I just tried quick 15 minute search on Russian-language dating sites. Most of them show how many people of each sex have been online recently. Again there are much more men, at least twice the number of women. Google also advertised me a si

I don't understand why the Economist gets so much credibility. I've never actually seen a worthwhile policy analysis from them - their content is regurgitated ideology, but they try really hard to appear intelligent and balanced. When somet

The question is wrong - the assumption is that the quantity of money has decreased, while purchases ("Aggregate demand") are the same. If fact its exactly the other way around. Anyone who misses this fact is very unlikely to give a correct

Ubuntu is just a distribution. They don't directly hack on everything they ship. This is why they try to keep up with the upstream which releases the new versions. They do it in fact less than Fedora, which may or may not be a good thing. M

My current preferred DE is GNOME 3. It gets a lot of hate right now, but its a really stress-free environment for me. Taking a look at the GNOME 3 cheat-sheet will fix most of the power-user complaints. I think when GNOME 3 get more feature
