Your Idea is overrated

That would the most plausible approach Google, Facebook, Twitter and other major sites could take if they were to black out. However, such blackout were to happen, should be restricted to US only. And, Google probably would not want to black out Google Apps. I guess that would infuriate a lot of paying customers.

The stream consists of edits only in major languages on Wikipedia. It doesn't include all the languages in which Wikipedia exists. If such edits are also included, imagine the rate at which new knowledge is being created.

In R programming, you wouldn't get a TRUE or FALSE if you perform X != X when X is NA (Not Applicable). The result would be NA itself as it can't be determined.

You will have to use is.na(X) to find is X is NA.

So you don't just handle TRUE and FALSE cases but take NA into consideration as well.

I have been using Ubuntu for 3-4 years now and have been using it for everything from day-to-day stuffs to development. I am quite happy to see how Ubuntu has matured during this time frame.

But, I wish some improvement is done on improving hibernate. It takes ages to hibernate and system sometimes freezes. Moreover, my experience with battery life on Ubuntu vs Windows suggests Ubuntu manages power poorly.

I haven't used Unity yet but look forward to trying soon.
