People find Windows easier to use because they are used to the quirks. Of course you shouldn't let a beginner try Arch, but there are plenty of beginner friendly distros. The complications often come from installing Linux in the first place but the average user will have just as much trouble installing Windows.
I still listen to this album from time to time. I first heard about them when they were featured in a CD magazine, i.e. a magazine you'd buy at the newsstand but that just consisted of the CD in a box. All the rage in the mid nineties. I had just bought my first CD-ROM drive so this was extra cool. Really loved the song so I bought the album.
Because the system is set up to prevent any real change for the benefit of the common people. So your choice is between the friendly, somewhat reasonable oligarchy stooge and the utterly deranged oligarchy stooge.
Like in the 2016 election? Or in 2000? The system is set up to prevent the will of the people from being enacted and it takes a massive crisis for everyone to be pissed off enough to do something. Add to that the control of nearly all media by the oligarchy and you get to where we are today.
Ah yes. It's teh gays that dun did it. Not the system that makes it increasingly hard for people to meet their basic needs and forces them to work ever harder just to survive. Sure, buddy.
America has always rejected fanaticism, especially since WWII. We are supposed to be E pluribus unum -- out of many, ONE. Now, the right wants America to be E unum pluribus -- out of ONE, many.
Add to that that they simply don't have any rational arguments. They have no program and no plan. On most real issues there is a broad consensus among the American public towards progressive positions. All the right wingers have is hate, resentment and weaponised stupidity.
Really hope this turns out to work at scale. Much as AIDS contributed to the rise in conservativism in the past 40 years, maybe a vaccine will do the opposite.
Moritz Körner, Member of the European Parliament, disclosed the decision on Twitter. Swedish publisher SVG said, “The question was removed at the last moment from Thursday’s ambassadorial meeting in Brussels”.
I've had an EV for four years now and I've relied exclusively on public charging. I won't say it's never been without any annoyances but overall it was pretty unproblematic. It can absolutely be done if you want it. Recently they installed chargers at my workplace so now I'm fine and dandy.

The Ukrainians have been pretty busy with shaping operations in Crimea, i.e. blowing up as much air defence as they can. The F-16s could have a real impact on making Russia's position there untenable.
They wouldn't even notice the money if they paid their staff properly. But people like that actually get off on the cruelty. I hope they throw those fuckers in jail.
In all the stuff I do in Python, runtime is not a consideration at all. Developer productivity is far more of a bottleneck. Having said that, I do of course see the value in these endeavours.
The key problem is that copyright infringement by a private individual is regarded by the court as something so serious that it negates the right to privacy. It’s a sign of the twisted values that copyright has succeeded on imposing on many legal systems. It equates the mere copying of a digital file with serious crimes that...
