This is the perfect article to be submitted to HN. Because it brings out the worst in HN. The saturated, self-congratulatory, better-than-thou crowd that is smug about their income, prospects and worth . Many here already believe that ever

I have been using Linux as my main OS for all of my daily tasks for a while now. I have been running openSUSE for years, and the last time I did an actual re-install (not upgrade) was with 11.3 (2010) on a Dell Vostro laptop. Everything wor

Fefe is by no means "most Europeans", though he is quite well known as a ("political nerd") blogger in Germany. His comment on the matter, however, is less that of pointing and laughing and more that of worry, especially considering that th

I disagree that it is time to retire LaTeX, since it is not just about formulas. In the humanities, linguists are very fond of it for the use of diacritics and tables etc, while the humanities overall greatly profit from bib(la)tex. Furth

Neither politics nor economics enable long-term thinking structurally. "Long-term" is useless in economics since everything depends on your next earning call(s). If your figures are bad, you will probably let go, and there is no way to ensu

YaST vs yum/apt is technically a wrong dichotomy, since YaST (as a package manager) is just a graphical frontend to zypper, which is pretty much like yum and apt, just with its own syntax. I know that many people dislike YaST, yet I have ne

I am very pleased to see this released, as some good improvements have been made. Note, however, that there have been some last-minute troubles with NetworkManager and ifup, and I am not sure they have been 100% fixed[1]. Heise pointed out

So, in that case, when you are developing, you are actively using multiple VMs and 30++ tabs? Maybe I am just bad at multitasking, but while I do see the point of the VMs, I don't see how they fundamentally change the overall picture. I don

I absolutely fail to see the point here. Why should I use this? Is this again one of these instances where, magically, free RAM is good? 30 tabs opened simultaneously (with AdBlock, Ghostery and Disconnect), alongside Thunderbird, Emacs (

If you selectively quote, why not at least make an effort instead of just quoting what seems to reinforce your point of view, ignoring the critique of your standpoint? There doesn't seem to be a point trying to argue with you, since you alr

Please read my comment and the part quoted again. I have made no such claim, and I have, in fact not even touched upon such arguments. My whole argument is based around the fact that you are trying to equate things that are in fact very dis

This is utter bullshit. It is hardly a war if only one side is doing all the murdering, incarcerating and driving people into exile. The political right had a long history of political murder and prosecution all throughout the Weimar Repu

Then German and Danish are neither left-to-right nor right-to-left, since 123 is einhundertdreiundzwanzig or hundredetreogtyve ("onehundredthreeandtwenty"), so that doesn't seem to work too well, either...

That makes it even more interesting, doesn't it? They are willing to pay for having something at all , even if it is somewhat bug-ridden or not quite as fast or not quite as perfect as it could be. That should emphasise even more that

I am in two minds about the "community" aspect of Ubuntu. It is true that Ubuntu has many users. Subsequently, whenever you run into a question, you will get lots of Ubuntu-specific posts. The problem I see with this is, however, that with

This is a hen-and-egg-problem. No games for Linux are published, hence no market exists. And since no market exists, no games are published. However, the Humble Bundles strongly suggest that there is in fact a market for Linux gaming, con
