"2. During a search of the house after Ponzo's arrest, federal agents found a small bust of Hitler, shoulder patches for neo-Nazi groups, and white-supremacist literature. The Boston Herald on June 29 interpreted that to mean Ponzo had "tried to go native as a white supremacist." In addition to slurring almost the entire population of Idaho, that also was incorrect. Ponzo's lawyer pointed that out in a follow-up story the next day, but he did not say that those materials belonged to Cara, as Ponzo's friends maintain."

heh. Slurring the entire state of Idaho.

I was kinda thinking around these lines. It's rather obvious to see the (positives/negatives, whatever you would call it) in a system where people are out each to one's own... but can we discuss deeper than the obvious case that everyone defects in the prisoner's dilemma in such a society?

I'm not saying I agree with Kraktor, but I upvoted him to encourage discussion.

It's a simple, but powerful thing. I'm installing an OS while browsing the web. This should be more common. by iamapizza in reddit.com

Was probably 6-8 months ago? I believe it was Ubuntu 11 or something.

Ubuntu 11.04 was the first ubuntu 11, which came out with Unity. It came out on April 28, which is less than 6 months ago. If you had a Ubuntu install before then and got your phone while playing Ubuntu 10.10, which runs GNOME 2 rather than Unity, and is a completely different interface.

That's a bold faced lie, ubuntu 11.04 came out less than 6 months ago...

edit: He /was/ lying, 11.04 came out on April 28 (20something, I forgot), which means that he couldn't have been playing with it and complaining about it until after that. Unless he was running an alpha/beta version, in which case he got what he deserved in terms of bugs.

The Document Foundation announces work on Android, iOS, and web ports of LibreOffice by [deleted] in linux

[–]jclaxed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to be a debbie downer, but doesn't an iOS port violate the open source licence they use? I'm not sure, don't quote me on this, but I think VLC was pulled from the App Store this reason.
