Society isn't getting more violent, despite the fact that the 10 o'clock news might lead you to think that. The incidences of violent crime have dropped steadily year after year since 1990, including forcible rape[1]. The internet was introduced in 1989, so the introduction of the internet coincides directly with the introduction of the medium which provides porn to most porn consumers.

This is only a correlation. No causation can be should. You could argue that the drop in rape incidents is attributable to better crime fighting technology that has put more serial rape offenders behind bars. It's anybody's guess as to the cause of lower incidents of forcible rape, but what you can't do is attribute greater incidents of forcible rape with the rise in porn because the actual historical figures simply don't support that conclusion, in fact they contradict it despite any self reports of hypothetical behavior might suggest.

I don't know the figures, but I imagine that most incidents of rape involve someone the victim knows and involves ambiguous circumstances such as both the victim and the accused being under the influence of alcohol or some other voluntarily consumed mind altering substance. For rape under those conditions, both the victim and accused are equally at fault, just like a drunk driver is responsible for a car accident. Driving your body into another under the influence is not really not that dissimilar from driving a car into another under the influence. Your approach of educating your daughters into making the right decisions and avoiding risky situations is the best weapon you have to combat the risk of rape.

Nautilus has had an overhaul, too many changes for me to list them all, but some of the more noticeable ones:

The separation of "Places" and "Bookmarks". It sounds reasonable, however you cannot modify what is in the Places menu, so even if the folder doesn't exist, you're stuck with it. I don't have a Videos folder, but I cannot remove it from the sidebar.

They've also removed the tree view from Nautilus, I used it all the time, but now it's gone. I need multiple windows to look at the contents of multiple folders at once.

I cannot make a new empty file directly inside Nautilus. I could understand if this had never existed , but not why they'd remove it now.

The App Menu, or whatever they're calling it, is confusing. Nautilus has a button on the toolbar which seems to cover half of the options, and uses the App Menu for the remaining options.

The Connect To Server dialog has been changed, for no reason as far as I can tell. It now only has a text box for entering the URI, no easy-to-use Protocol/Server/Port/Username/Password sections.

Typing to locate a file will no longer take you to that file, but instead start a search. I personally hate this, although I could understand why some may prefer this.

In terms of system configuration, they've stripped a bunch of options out, again.

I can no longer enable horizontal scrolling using my touchpad.

You can no longer select a background image which is outside of the root Pictures folder (Non-recursive). You cannot even specify a different folder.

You cannot specify the background scaling (Zoom seems to be the default, no tiling, or centering etc.)

Problems with are still around:
The printer configuration is still a disaster - they seem unable to make it work correctly with networked printers. Space in the name? You're screwed.

Still cannot easily disconnect from a wireless network (although the option is there, it's not easy: All Settings -> Network -> Wireless -> click on little arrow next to network name -> Disconnect)

Having said all of that, it's still better than Unity (IMO).
I consider the "meet new people" a downgrade for facebook than an upgrade. I hope that is not a direction they pursue aggressively because it risks making facebook less relevant. One of the things that made facebook different is the expectation that you're somewhat creepy if you just go around friending random people. As a long time facebook user, I prefer it stay that way.

One-sided and confused article. Whether this is an attempt to mislead readers or a misunderstanding by the writer, I don't know. But this is not a case of California choosing to implement an unhelpful policy. This is a case of California's previous helpful policy being found illegal because it violates the commerce clause; the FTB had no other choice but to impose the tax.

http://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/x/214234/Income+Tax/FTB+I...

The FTB did not 'take its ball and go home.' The Court told the FTB that it was not allowed to favor [EDIT: investment in qualifying] California corporations that way to begin with. An alternative would have been to extend the tax break to all companies that do business in California and send them a refund check for every year the QSB rule had been in place, but the FTB most likely doesn't have that much money available.

I disagree with the premise that it can be called "their" archive if it contains none but public domain works. Can you have ownership over a collection of things that you don't own?

It was a tragedy, but.....

Violence as a cause of death has continued to drop in the US. It is no longer in the top 15 ways people die in the US[1]. The worst year for massacres in the US was 1929 and worst occurred in 1927 (45 dead by explosive).

Yet suicide is in the top 10 and mental illness is under funded. Risk factors are what the President should concentrate on, not the incident of the moment. A President coming up to the podium and announcing a serious attempt at dealing with mental illness in this country would fix more problems than something that is declining without the President's attention.

Have you looked at openSUSE, and specifically openSUSE Tumbleweed[1]?

* systemd

* apparmor[2]

* RPMs + One Click Install[3]

* YaST[4]

For what it's worth, I have been using Tumbleweed for quite a while now and the last two upgrades (11.4 > 12.1 > 12.2) have been unproblematic, the 12.1 > 12.2 one went without even a single conflict or problem.

[1]: http://en.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed -- Tumbleweed has been initiated Greg Kroah-Hartman (Greg KH) while working at SUSE and he continues as the maintainer, even after leaving SUSE for the Linux Foundation. Note that Tumbleweed is basically a rolling release but based on the current stable version, which means you update normally upon a new distro release and over time updated packages (Kernel/KDE/Gnome/XFCE etc. etc.) are being added as they are being submitted into Factory, the development branch.

[2]: Unfortunately, though SELinux is a work-in-progress right now: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:SELinux

[3]: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:One_Click_Install

[4]: Yast lets you use a GUI for a number of things like adding users, setting up servers, runlevels(!) etc. I see many people disliking it, but I am unsure why. It is nice to have sometimes, but at no point are you ever forced to use it, in fact, editing configs directly works just as well.

P.S.: You can of course also run openSUSE factory straight away, it often works, however, since that is where development happens, things might break. This is much the same as Fedora Rawhide, and it might (or might not happen) that someone on a given day breaks something essential (like say...systemd). So consider yourself warned! ;)

edit: formatting & added fluffing to Factory explanation!

A lot of the discussion arounds this makes me think that the joke "The Republic of California" is not just true of CA, but for Washington, too. Is the talk of high taxes just limited to those two Western states or is it a bigger trend in other parts of the West Coast?
On a related note - California capital gains tax is going up by 50% this year[1] (24.3% to 37.1%). That's a big jump and I haven't heard many people talk about it. In the short term it doesn't have much effect but in the long run it will reduce the amount of capital in the Valley available for angel investment and bootstrapping.

Christian,

I wrote this post a month ago to discuss that subjet.

http://www.b-mc2.com/2012/12/06/cooperation-essential-for-in...

I would tend to say that we can express ourselves today in so many ways, but we can't communicate anymore. In that sense we can't share our insight.

Communication by itself does not allow you to elaborate insight. Communication enables cooperation which can sometimes lead to insight, but in the end the words says it all "in-sight".

> This is huge. Huge!

Quite the opposite, in my opinion. People don't like being bothered by strangers on Facebook. It's weird and creepy, especially so when it's a guy contacting a girl. This could be seen as a disincentive to share if you don't want your face popping up on search results for people outside your immediate network.

It also makes friends who are ignorant or careless about privacy more of a liability. If they tag you in something that's set to 'public', that thing could now be seen by far more strangers far more frequently. There's no good solution to this: You can harrass your friends about their tagging habits, waste countless hours un-tagging yourself every month, or delete your profile altogether.

I could see it being useful if you could give it commands. Something like: "Invite all friends who like Game of Thrones to my Game of Thrones Event on Sunday at 8PM". Then again, that could just increase the amount of noise on Facebook and drive people away even faster.
> "and meet new people, too."

This really seems to harken back to facebook circa 2004. Every single comma separated phrase in interests section of your profile was a link that brought up all the other profiles with that phrase in your college network. I suppose some folks discovered each other this way, but it didn't seem very popular. No one cared when facebook disabled it.
Just to play devil's advocate... creepiness is defined by the generation _after_ you. It's inherently defined, something creeps along, up, or around. So, really, what you think actually doesn't matter. It's what the 16 yo kids think is cool. And if they enjoy spending all afternoon after school going through Facebook profiles, well I guess so it goes.
"The normalization of it is new. A marriage means a lot less than it used to. It's a status symbol, or a source of entertainment that can be disregarded when it no longer entertains."

And thank goodness for that. You have an overinflated opinion of what marriage "used to mean". People having an out from abuse and misery is worth it all. Your efforts to shame the divorced are moralizing, not "for the children". Marriages are not happy because they're forced through law and social stigma. The option to leave is freedom.

ex post facto isn't English, it's not even really Latin. It's a legalism. The go to source of meaning for Anglo legalism in the late 19th century was Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England" . It's the Blackstone definition that the Court adopted.
Indeed, there are plenty of open source solutions that can solve your particular problem, and many problems don't need any sort of symbolic tools. There's also Octave with a nice collection of packages on Octave-Forge, there's PARI (included in Sage), and there's LAPACK, and I'm sure there are others I'm either forgetting or haven't heard of.
I'm not sure what this petition is trying to accomplish. Do you think, should the President fire Ms Ortiz, she would be replaced by someone completely different? Her actions are a reflection of the entire justice system; the person who replaces her will continue with the same bullying, "String 'em up in Town Square"-style tactics as she did. Everything will continue as it has been, but now the affluent, Bay-area 20-somethings who were originally so outraged will kick up their feet and go back to not caring about the justice system because they think they effected some sort of change.

I was so surprised with the HN community's response. So many people saw that Aaron had committed suicide and thought, with their ninja-rockstar-hacker intelligence, that we should go on a witch-hunt and burn Ms Ortiz at the stake. Doesn't that seem like the worst possible thing to do in a time when we have very little facts?
Completely agree on that. That's actually the very first Facebook feature that got me excited and that might make me go back to Facebook.

This is also the obvious next step for social networks and one that quite a few startups (including ourselves) have been working on for the past couple of years under the "people discovery" banner. Can't wait to see this in action.
Yep, I'm aware of that. Although not every Linux distribution makes that distinction and the person to whom I replied certainly didn't leave room for that.

But in the past, even the packages in the "first tier" were often pretty busted. But even for that tier, Linux distributions are not performing "extensive vetting and rigorous testing". They don't generally test beyond relying that other components that use it work as expected, and for many components, those are only as well tested as the tests that are included with the component.

Yes, some distributions do run security analysis tools or other things on the components they integrate, but that still doesn't count as "extensive vetting and rigorous testing".
>There have been only 3 successful open source companies ever: MySQL, Jboss, and Redhat

See now, there's just no reason to go around saying things like that. Even if that were true (it's not), how would you know that it's true? Do you have a complete database of profitable businesses in your head? I doubt it. A significant number of open source companies are privately held, and there's really no telling how successful they are.

Anyway, right off the bat, you missed Mozilla Corporation.

Beyond that, the question of whether a company that does nothing but develop FOSS is irrelevant. The important question is whether developing FOSS can be a major part of a successful business strategy. You might start by asking Google and Apple.
Good to see more competition in this space, but I'm sticking with Simple for now.

Do you have a problem with the amount of money they're paying, or the fact that they're paying a pension at all?

What your suggesting seems like a horrible idea. The point of a pension is that it's a guaranteed obligation. Being able to absolve yourself of it with a bankruptcy is a wonderful way to screw over the workers who paid into it their entire lives.
But let's see if anything actually gets done. Smoke and mirrors to appear to do something is different from actually doing something.
