I agree, for power users usually xrandr command is far more quicker than cycling through layouts. One feature I liked here is not going to sleep when lid is closed. I think to avoid that in normal case would be to set power settings to "do

Maybe its just me, but one thing I wish for KDE is better skins/theme-engines and icons. Oxygen maybe nice, but not really nice. Toolbars looks somehow ugly, unclean. Elementary OS, Ubuntu, Mate, Gnome overall are doing nice in skinning.

Isn't Mars atmosphere and climate unsuitable for humans? I don't think technology to "hack atmosphere" will be ready in this century.

Apart from that, GDM itself performs horribly. I can almost always see a lag. Shouldn't happen on core i 2nd Gen atleast!

> I wonder what happens if a phone number (the login) is tied to a different IMEI I think they send verification code to the phone via SMS or ask your permission to make a call and speak the verification code.

Though most laptops I tried worked out of box with Ubuntu, I still agree that there are lot of work that can be done for drivers. I recently got my sister a laptop. She is non-tech but is perfectly comfortable with Ubuntu. The only problem

There is Lazarus I stumbled upon once. Tried it a little and seems to do things quite much like VB. Its basically a Delphi clone I guess. But damnit, who wants to use Pascal! BTW how about Mono? Isn't that supposed to be .NET clone?

Plus ctags isn't really that smart, or you can say the way it is used. For example I have a struct "foo" that has different independent declarations in several files in my source tree. Whenever, I would try to open that tag, list of all tag

Students who don’t pay can’t participate in the course and therefore get a lower grade. The patent kind of forces students to buy the material.

I don't know which country is it talking about, but no libraries and no book sharing is only going to put more load on students. They already pay good amount of fees to their schools.

Go is very new language, so I doubt its currently being used much outside Google. Answering your second question, almost every good programming language has some good networking libraries. Choice of language usually depends on what you are

Yes. I tried some Vim plugin for Chrome. It sucked. Pentadectyle is very robust and full-featured. Difference is considerable as compared to its Chrome counterpart. Completely transforms your FF experience.

This not a configuration I would recommend as - 1. The mappings with TAB wont work in terminal. 2. <C-t> mapping is default map for ctags jump back. And if you are going to be a long term Vim user, better configure Firefox like Vim

I never used Vista much(not a regular Windows user as such), but another reason why people might hated Vista with such passion was perhaps that most of the hardware people had was not sufficient for it. At least that was one major reason am

Adding to this, I've heard Electronic Arts released two games on Ubuntu Market as well. Anyway, this growing interest targeting general user is overall good for Linux.

Samsung emerged as one the top vendors and gets revenue in order of billions due to Android. Hence it would be surprising if they don't invest in Linux.

You must be right then. I'm not much of a scribd user. Legal troubles many times comes as surprise and I might be wrong again here, but usually music/movie industry are quicker when it comes to filing suits against websites.

Registers can be made by using a bunch of flip-flops, which are again made using NAND/NOR.

The only way scribd can be used illegally is by uploading pirated ebooks. I maybe wrong but I think the amount of illegal content is very less there, and they try to filter them out. However other file sharing website, like rapidshare or me

Professionals have spent considerable time learning their tools (PS, Illustrator...), hence while these tools are not available on Linux they will always refrain from shifting to Linux and that is quite understandable. After all every need

I think in the domain of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering. My dad is a Civil Engineer and I know stuff he needs doesn't exist on Linux.

I think presence of mainstream CAD software is very important as well. I have seen many people not willing or not being able to shift to Linux only because of CAD.

Haven't done any kind of proper survey but from what I see many startups here don't like to pay even decent. They would hire with low salary. However the point is if you want good developers, you need to pay them well! Even if you manage to

You do have a point. Pretty same is the case with perl I think. Libararies are already there for ages and matured. I'm not into web development stuff, but I thought currently big projects prefer not to use PHP. People say PHP helps them to

I'm more amazed by the fact that PHP tops there. I expected something like Python or Ruby there.

I understand lunch being a distraction, but anything less than 3 meals a day is AFAIK know bad for health. I know it detoriated mine. So I think a good lunch break is important. I'm still in college, so have no idea what being in office is
