Are you drunk? You think a data plot has an intimate relationship with music but not software? Sounds like someone is romanticising. ;)

Astroturfer or troll?

Congrats on the most obtuse post of the day... content-free.

So, you support the power of the state over the idea of the fourth amendment (warrant process)? Ok, stating that fact would be more effective than this "that's just sad" tripe.

After seeing Los Angeles and the map of the west in general, I believe the Latinos are significantly under-counted.

I had anticipated this to some extent in daily life but it was driven home a few years ago. I lived in a very "latino" neighborhood, unusual to see anyone else...

When election time came around, I got in line of perhaps 50-100 people at a very busy polling place. Bored, I looked down the line at each person. Gone were the folks I was used to seeing every day, in fact I was hard-pressed to find any. I counted one or two latinos in the whole line, and they were not from the migrant-worker class... i.e. poorer Mexican or Central American Indians.

It is probable a larger percentage of these folks will submit to the Census bureau than registering to vote, but how much? As a whole they are not well integrated.

This may not be true, as I've gotten more info above. Too late to change.

Also, as I alluded to in my previous comment, as resolutions increase in the future, the Mac OS approach is more correct in the long run. Though, it has come with the cost of fuzzy fonts and squinting for the last decade.

Network drives, icloud, dropbox, carbonite, rsync, vnc, github, bitbucket, imap, gmail, lots of easy to use options today.

This is well-known and by design.

Mac renders fonts optimized for "correctness", which can appear fuzzy at low resolution. Their new hi-res (~200dpi) screens solve the problem, you get correctness and legibility.

Windows and Linux tend to optimize for screen legibility at low resolution, resulting in increased sharpness. At hi-res, they'll likely not look as correct as the Mac rendering.

Linux versioning now makes more sense--in that every new release is a minor release. Fits better with the historical use of such numbers.

Oh, well, that's very close to white. 96% white as a matter of fact, after checking in gimp. It needs to be at least a few percent to be noticeable as different by they eye.

Perhaps you should up the brightness on your monitor?

I tried it and it blew up, complaining about "bookmarks." Couldn't commit and/or push, never figured it out.
