Linux on the desktop has a long way to go

What do you perceive is missing? I've been using Linux exclusively since 2006 (while supporting Windows users at work), there's never been a time when I felt like I was missing a particular Windows feature. Mostly I just find Windows' lack of user-friendliness to be extremely maddening.

Canada has more land mass than the US does. Perhaps Trump should be talking about integrating the US into Canada (and doing away with the now-redundant US Presidential position).

I'm curious, what part of that do you think will be good for anyone who isn't a rich which male?

What do you find "old-fashioned" about Thunderbird? Do you not consider an interface "new" if they don't change it and hide all the common features every five minutes like Microsoft does? It's an email client, you read your emails in it. How would you do it better?

Oh I came clean. We were actually trying to figure out HOW it happened so we could try and prevent the same issue in the future.

One of the articles I read yesterday stated that in the state of New York, this type of conviction has about a 1 in 10 chance of including a prison sentence (up to four years). The judge determines the sentence, and may also weigh in with whether a monetary sentence would be meaningful to the defendant, but also things like remorse (which Trump has shown none) and the number of convictions (which are a lot).

Even if we get lucky enough to see Trump sent to jail, he can still get out on bond while appealing the case, so it could be a year or more before Trump would ever have to spend a night behind bars.

16.6%, but let's just be reasonable about this and round it to a nice even 15%.

0 - Do you have a valid medical reason, other than "I'm a whiny little bitch who thinks my Facebook browsing makes me smarter than actual doctors," that prevents you from getting vaccinated?

All I can think of is Trump stammering out something along the lines of "but we COULD have reviewed this information at Mar-a-Lago if you had just LEFT all those classified documents where I put them..."

I can only hope for an interview to go something like this:

"This position requires a college degree, but all I see on your resume is this worthless garbage from Florida. Did you ever get a real education? Let's find out, explain evolution to me..."

If we continued to do the same job, and the cost of living remained the same, most people wouldn't think much of it. The problem still comes back to the business owners -- they expect you to do more for the same pay, including firing someone and expecting you to also do that second job on top of your regular work for the same paycheck. Then when people demand a raise the business owner justifies raising their costs under the umbrella of "people just don't want to work any more" when the reality is that what changed is the huge increase in how much that business owner is taking home themselves while delegating their own job to underlings.

The first full-time job I had was stuffing circuit boards. We got a new person in one day, she was clearly struggling but it seemed like she was trying... She never came back after lunch. I mean, say something or ask questions, any of us would have helped her out.
