In most so called third-world countries mobile is much larger than desktop simply because mobile is more affordable.

I just moved to Arch (always wanted to use it) from Ubuntu 11.10 after Unity (compiz) became intolerably slow on my 5 year old machine. Now running a custom DE using Openbox. It's blazing fast and highly customizable.

No. Firefox stable updates are immediately pushed in both non-LTS and LTS.

"China is not threatening military action, it is simply saying it doesn't like this occurring." China imposes trade bans on countries that offend it. As China has trade surplus with almost all countries, trade becomes a powerful blackmail

"No boom, no bust..." I meant to say India was unaffected from 'global recession' . Obviously there was no housing bubble in India. "...it was govt corruption." You mean in a crony-capitalism govt alone is guilty? How?

Of course. I was just more critical of the relation between media and people's perceptions than government's efficiency in my last comment.

You're mixing up two different issues, corruption and socialist tendencies. While corruption in socialism is bad, corruption in capitalism is just as bad. Even the most developed capitalist countries have failed to remove corruption. (hence

Isn't this how most elected politicians behave around the world? First announcement: "we'll do it" . Status update: "as announced it is on course and will be completed 'soon'" . Launch: "as promised here it is for the public". Media jus

> "back in the 60s people didn't have complaints" How do you know? There was no internet back then and such stories usually don't appear in newspapers, even now. > "Maybe they're poor because they cheat each other all the time."

Wow lot of pessimism and cynicism here. > '...but per-capita income of India is so low' No one has said otherwise. Having a big economy has many advantages and India is expected to grow for decades to come. > '...but go to Indian

I think I didn't explain properly. Your interpretation of Nietzsche's quote is correct and Absurdism says exactly that. It says instead of seeking a 'safe life' and striving for a life that is 'acceptable' by the society, we should make o

Camus is talking about Absurdism. [1] How it's related to the Nietzsche's quote depends on how you see it. (Nietzsche was a kind of absurdist himself) It is a broad theory. It says life is basically absurd because the world is meaningless

Contao is just rebranded TYPOlight, a lightweight CMS inspired by Typo3.

Relevant: "At this point of his effort man stands face to face with the irrational. He feels within him his longing for happiness and for reason. The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human need and the unreasonable silence

Even though Typo3 originated in Denmark it's huge in Germany. I think Typo3 is more popular than Drupal in Germany.

If beauty consciousness in girls can be said as peer pressure then geek/nerd consciousness in boys can be said as peer pressure as well. Boys who don't play videogames or watch sci-fi/action movies or listen to some complex rock/electronic

I'm a Linux user who hasn't used Windows for years and who hasn't used OS X at all. But I must say iPhoto looks more sane and intuitive compared to Windows Live Photo Gallery. (that's one lengthy name!). Can't imagine how netbook users runn

Apart from cabinet secretary Lokpal is answerable to Election Commission which is autonomous. Along with this, the election process of a Lokpal itself will reduce chances of corruption.
81.
by dimmuborgir 15y ago
That's the most common FUD being spread against Lokpal.
82.
by dimmuborgir 15y ago
According to the Lokpal bill 'incompetence is equal to corruption' . Any failure of executing a promised act can be brought to the courts.

by dimmuborgir 15y ago
A corrupt Lokpal can be removed within two months by the parliament.

by dimmuborgir 15y ago
Have you read Lokpal bill? First, the Lokpal deals only with the Judiciary part of the constitution while both Legislature and Executive parts will be untouched. So it's not an alternative constitution . Even within Judiciary it deals only

Since Standing Committee is not autonomous and since there's a strong political opportunism in giving support to this ombudsman bill, it'll most likely be passed without much difficulty.
86.
by dimmuborgir 15y ago
Well it's not a constitutional body. So as long as it remains independent (most likely) it'll be lethal against corruption.

Reason or intuition! That's another 'philosophical' problem!

by dimmuborgir 15y ago
Saying "you cannot have philosophy without a mind" itself is one of the many philosophical concepts of mind-matter dualism.

I'd like to know if Posterous itself is blocked in China or just the blog page?

Of course. Its cognitive bias at work. People are always discontent with their government. Failing to properly understand economics and politics, people exaggerate things to find reasons to accuse the government.
