That example does not make any sense to me. Why would one side feel they'd gotten the better of the opposite side just because both are fully satisfied? Surely interests must be aligned for any trade to be successful and satisfactory to the involved parties, but in your example, each man is happy to have had what he wanted, and neither executed a deal feeling they had been shafted. Neither took an unfair advantage of the other or left the other with an unfair share as enabled by circumstance.

An instance of an unfair deal is exploiting the ignorance of a newcomer by offering to take something that has great value locally for a price far below what your neighbors would pay before the newcomer realizes that his belongings have much greater worth in his new vicinity than they had in the old. This is a fundamentally predatory deal, and even if you lay all of this out in the fine print, it's your duty to establish at least a basic reasonable assurance that the party at the other end of your trade understands the circumstances surrounding it and is satisfied with the proposed trade.

Another example is that of an individual in desperate straits who is required to offload a good he'd otherwise keep or sell for a much higher price. It is reasonable to expect this person to sell his goods, but it is not fair to exploit his unfortunate circumstance and purchase the goods at prices in extreme disproportion to market value. While the person may even offer the good at an absolute bargain basement price in an attempt to move it as quickly as possible, I do not believe it is moral to buy something at much, much less than its normal value if you have the means to pay more. Perhaps some discount is reasonable in order to move the merchandise quickly, but it should not be disproportionate to the circumstance; even if the seller believes he'll be happy with the trade, it's not very likely that that happiness will stay. You're better off just biting the bullet and at least paying something that resembles the low end of market value.

Remember that when it comes down to it, our lives are all about the people that are part of them. Things and money come and go, bank accounts ebb and flow; people last forever, and people give real value to experiences and things. It's not worth shafting your neighbors left and right to save some cash.

I recognize that many disagree and believe that it's "every man for himself" out there, and that you should take advantage of your neighbor when you can get it. I believe that is fundamentally wrong, no matter how many others believe otherwise.

I think people maybe misunderstanding the original post (either that or I am).

My understanding is that their competitor offers 2 products, a basic and a premium (this is an example, I've no idea how many products their competitor offers).

The scam is that the people paying for the premium service are only getting basic. Ie, they would get exactly the same service if they were paying for the basic.

I have a similar rule, but my metric isn't slides but words: for a 20 minutes talk, I try keep the word count in my slide deck under 100 words.

More generally, I strongly believe that slides are only here as an illustration of what I say, they shouldn't be that useful without me talking in front of them.

You can get them without the silicone waterproofing tube, or remove it if you have ones that came with that. Ideally they should be stuck to a material such as metal that can help with conductive heat dissipation - especially if you get the kind with extra-bright "5050" LEDs rather than the standard "3528" components. However I don't think that is absolutely necessary - and I have also never heard of any kind of warnings against using them indoors, whether waterproof or not.

It would just be nice if it worked, at all. Call me unlucky, but after having three installs of 11.4 on different, relatively current display hardware fail to produce a reliably working UI on any of them, and having experienced extreme difficulty with the gnome option as well on these distributions, I reverted to 10.10 or 10.4 everywhere I run it, and am migrating to Debian Squeeze. When all new application windows are invisible, how can you blame that on the hardware, and the forums seemed filled mostly with devs denying the problems. I don't doubt it works for some people, but I stopped recommending to friends.

Ubuntu seems to have really underestimated the difficulty of delivering new functionality like a desktop or just decided they do not care.
If only those four factors would affect climate, you'd have a point. Alas, weather is extremely complex system, and it is pretty difficult to say for sure what is correlation, what is causation.
And I am pretty sure, that by tweaking some variables in your models you can get any outcome you want.

This doesn't address any other possible causes:

* population growth
* biofuels
* climate change
* increased demand for 'expensive' food such as meat
* corruption
* the effect of 'fair trade' on food prices
(fair trade wants them to go up so farmers get more)

Banks may be speculating that the prices are going to go up - but they will have reasons for this speculation. Once the price gets too high then banks will likely also start speculating that the price will go down.

What a policy? What would you do with people who get fired? It's pretty rare to lose your job at one place and pick up a new one the same day. How are they going to finance their life until they find a new job?

In other countries where employee protections are better there is usually an actual written contract in place that says employment must continue up to two months after notice is given from either party.

And yes, that does make contractors more practical but that's good because it pushes contract rates up.

I do not think that everybody is faking it - at most, there were a handful of scientists who covered up some bad data (if that even happened). Most scientists are benevolent - they are proposing hypotheses they honestly believe in. The problem is that they get attached to the consensus because it is the easiest thing to believe, and do not address all of the factors that could be wrong with their hypothesis. Being skeptical against AGW is much harder - I should know. For the first 25 years of my life, I was a die-hard AGW proponent.
> you can install a Gnome classic fall back option. This provides users with the ability to enjoy a classic Gnome experience. It's unfortunate, however, that I had to do multiple search engine queries just to find out if this was even a possibility. Despite the time spent searching, the fact is that it's possible. Thanks to the Ubuntu team pushing Unity adoption, I'm 99% positive you'll never hear about this option through official Ubuntu channels.

because that doesn't make much sense. Gnome went 3.x and you should naturally expect a decline in popularity of the "old" version, there is no reason to promote this fallback unless someone forks Gnome 2.x as Linus suggested, which is unlikely to happen. the alternative is switch to another DE such as XFCE (lxde, kde), or how to say it by Ubuntu terms - install Xubuntu (lubuntu, kubuntu).
No, I think that attitude is why people feel like they can get away with not paying. An established norm of "pay or things get nasty" would more effectively enforce payments. If nothing happens, the defaulter gets free stuff until it's resolved in court; most likely, it will be settled at a rate which is, after accounting interest, sub-market.

If things get nasty, the defaulter loses. Simple. What's funny is that outside of professional services and real estate, this is how the world works: a quick bit of paperwork and people show up to take the stuff back (e.g., the car).
it might be bad form to just be unabashedly for anyone or anything in this world, and, the way the whole thing occurs to me is that werner erhard is one of the GREAT misunderstood mysteries of our time. He is just an average guy who really got into what he was into which was empowering others effectively, I have never met e person who was more compassionate and useful and humble and not caring about $ than this guy, yet the media and anyone with a grievance promoted and repromoted and repromoted a view quite the opposite of him and that is what stuck and what gets repeated when referring to him. Just as well, being in the public spot light sucks and is one of the most useless grotesque phenomenas in society today in my opinion. what artist or politician or person exercising some kind of leadership in life does not inevitably experience the "crowned" turning on them?

the world would be a better place if there war more werner erhards, people who made the success of all humanity as their own personal business.

Sorry, but did you just argue that there is a slow cooling effect that cannot be seen, but that explains or will soon negate the rapid warming effect that has been detected?
How did you automate all of this? Would love to know!
> That example does not make any sense to me. Why would one side feel they'd gotten the better of the opposite side just because both are fully satisfied?

They'd feel this way if they did not know what the other side intended to do with what they received. I think it's pretty common to keep quiet on the the reasons why you want something during negotiations, to avoid giving the other party leverage.

I generally agree with you about fair and unfair deal-making. I think it is always important to consider more than just money when you are making deals, for example, you also are dealing in your own reputation when you make agreements with people. A deal that is grossly unfair to the other party from a financial perspective may also carry a heavy cost to your own reputation (which could also have future financial consequences).

That said, I don't think there is anything immoral in coming out of a deal in a better position than the person you made the deal with. Not every deal is equally beneficial to all parties involved. I have made some deals where I am sure the person I dealt with got a better deal than I did, but so long as I didn't feel ripped off, I was okay with that.

I don't think you have understood my point at all. I am not claiming that this is a demonstration of human-caused global warming. I'm explaining why scientists now consider human-caused global warming to be the null hypothesis. Which is to say that unless some currently unknown factor comes into play, they expect the planet to continue to warm as we release more and more CO2 into the atmosphere.

Why is that important? Well, it basically means that if you want to claim that something other than substantial global warming is going to occur, then the onus is on you to demonstrate that there is some other process in play that the current model has failed to take into account.

So sure, there may be other other major factors that affect climate. I have no problem with that possibility. But those factors are a bit like those old maps with "Here Be Dragons" marked when the map-maker didn't know what was really there. As we explored more and made better maps, those blank areas disappeared until there were none left (and we never did find any dragons!)

Maybe this time we will find dragons, and there really is some other factor that balances out our increased CO2 emissions. But for the time being, no-one has discovered any such factor. Is it really reasonable to base public policy on the bet that this time, we really will find dragons?

Gnome-shell user here.

Ubuntu's not for me, mostly because they cannot give me 'vanilla' software easily. They started with smaller changes (the notification patches come to my mind here) and now push their own agenda of a shell.

I'm still having some issues with gnome-shell, but I'm sure they'll be fixed. At least I'm sure that this is software that is maintained by the Gnome guys (I trust their code quality more, again due to the notification patch issues in the past) and - this is the big one - I don't want to use an interface that is distribution dependent.

I can easily use gnome-shell on a variety of different machines. Unity is a Ubuntu only (? Did any other distribution think about including this thing at all? Why would they?) UI and therefor a fail in my open source rule book.
I feel like slides should almost act like a prompt to me (the speaker) as opposed to presenting critical information. I am also a feverish believer that throwing out a huge amount of technical content in a presentation is (often, though obviously not always) pointless. Unless you're speaking to a very specific audience, numbers should be presented in a graphical form which makes it easy to get the gist in a single glance.

This is just my experience, and admittedly is largely limited to the academic world, but when someone stands up and has a table with five columns, five rows, and numbers to eight significant figures I immediately switch off!
One thing I didn't see addressed was why it's a good idea to add in site-specific patches at all? I understand that taken as a whole there's no real fixed language that website used - it's all some of html5, some html4, some just totally broken stuff etc etc. But I cannot see why sitepatching can ever be a scalable solution to that problem. It just reeks of hackery to me.

It's a really weird question in fact. How much do you need to change a program that works in a traditional Gnome desktop (even ignoring the fact Gnome has moved on too) so that it integrates seamlessly with Unity?

My best guess is "nothing at all". Am I that wrong?

Are the people complaining about investing man-hours in extender development really developing desktop apps for Gnome/Unity?
I recently switched to Debian Stable with non-free and backports repositories. The default desktop is Gnome 2.30.2 and installs by default all the similar software Ubuntu used to install like Openoffice, transmission, etc. My desktop is even able to resume and suspend (Ubuntu stopped to do it with the version 9.04)
Please don't use pie charts
Excellent article. Its so true - these days people concentrate on increasing the slide numbers to make it appear as if there is a lot of content in it.No wonder, people hate most of the presentations these days.

'Words' and 'Expressions' along with a meaningful message are the best ways to communicate yourself across to a room full of people. Some visual material is as much important but only 'useful' material.

Rather than wasting your time on thinking 'how to fill N number of slides', it will be a lot more useful if we know our material, practice our material and choose our words carefully. Practice how to engage audience, than trying to make awesome visuals to enchant them with your slide making skills.

Why 'three slide' rule?

Don't launch (2009)
They haven't driven me away - I like Unity, it's not perfect, but it works well. I find that Unity lets me get on with my work, and provides access to every thing I need to do so in a fairly logical, economical way.

There are always sacrifices that need to be made when working with Linux - but the advantages out way the disadvantages for me. I expect to have to spend time configuring my system because I have freedom to choose the what runs on my system and how I choose to use it.

Change is uncomfortable - but unless it occurs incrementally, any open source OS is going to stagnate.

When all other competing closed source operating systems are stretching the paradigms they operate within, this kind of stagnation would mean that Ubuntu would be left behind. Ubuntu needs to innovate if it's going to remain useful and relevant.

Perhaps part of the problem was that Ubuntu had been tied to Gnome for so long. It seems to me that in order to address this, the current period of development is less of an increment - and more of a leap - than it comfortably should have been.
Your facts are a misrepresentation. There have been many american expats for a long time. We usually keep our citizenship because there was no need to give it up. Having to file taxes to the US every year is annoying but not enough to renounce citizenship over.

Lately, however, the US has been getting more and more intrusive in my foreign life. Why do I owe any taxes on money I earn in a foreign land? I'm not using any US resources (don't give me any nonsense about navy seals coming to my rescue if I get kidnapped), I'm not working there, I have no property there, nothing.

Now they want to know how much money is in my bank account! I have a hard time finding banks that will do business with me because I happen to be in a "tax haven" country so doing business with americans means you have to have infra to send information about my banking activity back to the US. The cost of rejecting a handful of american customers is minuscule compared to the cost of setting up such infra.

I don't want to give up my citizenship but I'm not putting up with this mafia-style protection racket anymore.
If you employ a 3 slide rule what will happen is people will cram everything onto 3 slides.

The best presentation I ever did followed these steps:

1. Type out everything you want to say. Learn it. It should be easy to learn because you should know your subject.

2. Type out prompts as bullet points for each point your need to get across. Learn them, you should only refer to them if you absolutely need to.

3. Use slides to illustrate your point. You should NEVER be reading directly from or using slides as prompts.

You are the presentation, not the slides.
On that revamped UI question (Unity).

Ubuntu was pretty much forced into it, when they became less than enthusiastic about Gnome3 (gnome-shell).

A sentiment which I entirely shared. Then, at least.
