Ha ha ha. And the inevitable mod down for speaking the truth. I almost had to check the URL bar to see if I was on engadget. What a joke site.

Golden age trilogy is bar none the best hard sci-fi far future trans human sci-fi there is. Highly recommended.

Wow. The great and storied "hacker news". I came here expecting great discussions on the technology of hmd's and am instead subjected to yet another chapter in the Google soap opera internet hate a thon. What a fucking joke.

The main difference is Debian isn't quite as user friendly out of the box. Sudo isn't set up for you for example so you'll be in for a surprise the first time you try to use it. Also, Debian isn't quite as pretty. The fonts aren't as good and the desktop looks quite a bit dated. The upside is Debian at least for me is much faster. I don't know what Canonical did to Ubuntu 11.10 but it drug for me. Also, Debian doesn't crash at all at least for me whereas Ubuntu did suffer some random instability.

That having been said, I like the idea of Ubuntu. I like the fact that they are trying to move the Linux desktop forward and I will happily return if they can get Unity straightened out. As it stands though, I'm a content Debian user for the forseeable future.

Comparing a web "sync" to an integrated solution like Dropbox? Tell me another one.

Episode 32432432 in the pissing match between MS and anybody who dares make a dollar in the computing industry. Yawn

You SERIOUSLY need to remove the tinfoil hat. You and the guy you're conversing with are cracking me up.

MS keeps SQL server windows only primarily because they want people to buy Windows. Duh. How is that anti-MS? Naive much?
