Gnome had no problem usurping the KDE term "Activities" as a synonym for "Virtual Desktops" even though KDE had been using the term to mean something else for years: http://aseigo.blogspot.co.il/2...
The Gnome move is even more confusing than the Groupon move as the new Gnome term _replaces an existing term_ and additionally is also a UI term similar, but not quite exactly, like the KDE term. At least nobody is likely to confuse a Gnome tablet with a Gnome desktop environment.
Is that parody or is that news? I cannot believe that one-sided, war-mongering, short-sighted propaganda piece is called 'News'. It packs more lies, ridicule, non sequiturs, and manipulation into three minutes than I've even seen before. Are people really expected watch that and then form their own opinions? If that is how Americans get their news, it explains so much about American ignorance, xenophobia, and thirst for war.
He means that Debian, like many other FOSS projects, needs Giving Trees to drain.
Joey was one such tree, and all that is left now is a stump. Others are at various stages of being just a trunk, or perhaps having a few branches left. The Giving Trees are being chopped down faster than they are being planted.
I'm out of modpoints but I would like to stress that _this post_ is an example of why Ask Slashdot is so successful at answering questions that boil down to "I don't know what I need to know to get this job done". This is the type of answer that will put the OP on the right track to figuring out what he needs.
Can we finally solve the age old question as to whether the seat should be left up or down? This is a function based on how many males vs females there are, and how often a male needs to, er, sit.
Pee on the seat twice, then she'll start begging you to leave it up!
It depends how fast you throw them away. My slashdot throw away address has been valid for 10 years at least. Still, I can throw it away without impacting anything else if I want and yes all addresses end up in the same inbox and I can edit the sender in my email client to enter anything I want.
Virtual Identity is a Thunderbird addon that automatically puts the right "sender" address when you send an email. It is the reason that I'm married to Tbird.
The thing that always amazes me in that story is they put Captain Bligh on a row boat in the Pacific and somehow he made it back to England.
From what I understand he did it the same way the Polynesians did it: stellar navigation. Not to England, but to some island he knew about, most likely due west. He was the ship's captain, familiar with the nearby islands. Think about those crazy Polynesians who use stellar navigation to travel between Hawaii and Tahiti!
It might be rendering the tags in UTF-16, which for code points \x00 - \x7F look just like ASCII with a NULL byte \x00 before (Big Endian) or after (Little Endian) each printable character.
Can you give an example? I'll take a look. Run Unix "strings" on the file, run it through "hd" and post it as a reply here.
If the force carriers for ordinary matter are called bosons...
Then would the force carriers for SIMPs be called...SIMPsons?
You probably nailed it. Particle and theoretical physicists have quite the sense of humour. I'm sure if you send that name to those actually developing the theories that they would consider it.
Sure hope that's a typo, or heart attacks are really fatal over there.
It's probably due to the conversion from metric. Notice how 100 KPH was rounded off to 60 MPH in the summary? The submitter rounded off whatever 8% in metric is.
The use of a decimal type instead of integer type was the key to figuring this one out.
The LTS releases do update the Firefox, Chrome and Thunderbird major versions. So far as I know, those are the only three packages which update major version numbers in an LTS, as the major version numbers of those software are as point releases of other software.
If this were a map, say in Python, then the programmer would have to supply the value $i (or in Python, just i) with an ++$i (or in Python i+=1). This can be done in PHP too, so there is no disadvantage to what PHP supports. The problem here is that the programmer is putting dynamic code in the SQL query without sanitizing it first. So what if it is supposed to be variables that are not supposed to be affected by the user? The first rule of preventing SQL injection is to use ZERO outside string variables, even those ostensibly created by your own code. If the data _or metadata_ (i.e. array keys) came in through a function argument, then it is NOT CLEAN.
Of course, the "natural way" to write code is often riddled with buffer overflows, SQL injection, and other naive security issues. This is why you hire a programmer with experience, just as with any other profession. There is no end to the problems with PHP, but this particular bug is not one of them.
Besides gamers, who cares if it takes a few more milliseconds to launch a web browser or process an image?
My Note 3 cat get _three days_ out of a single charge because I don't leave the internet connected and I don't have faceschmuk / viber / fartsapp pinging home every N seconds. I charge it every night anyway.
Don't make me wait to open the camera, give me the best performance and don't spare the battery just because _other users_ can't disconnect from the internet ever.

Why are we spending so much money on satellites? We could have bought a couple Cold War fighter jets that will never be used and that explode on liftoff!

I've never heard of Debian before - is it based on Ubuntu Linux?
Debian is destined to be merged into Ubuntu, it seems.
What does he specifically mean?

Polynesian: The race of many islands
Especially back before satellites and realtime communications Wanna pick up some 'native' chicks?
That is exactly how Pitcairn island became inhabited by Christians.
Without the EFF this slide into despair would be faster, but they certainly aren't reversing it. Merely pushing against the tide.
Right, that is exactly why you should donate. I do it yearly, not quarterly, but it is important to donate regularly.
Turbofans and to a lesser extent turbojets use air as the reaction mass.

$ strings file.mp3 | grep "known text" | hd
It is not really a rocket and it didn't really explode. More sort of fall apart. A lot.
Did it use propellant mass to form a jet of reaction mass? Then it is a rocket.
I actually addressed this just yesterday on Stack Exchange:
http://astronomy.stackexchange...
Thanks!
The three in the building were in a flight simulator. How horribly ironic.
"You can learn to fly in this machine. It's just like the real jet, except you cannot die."
Only in an infinite universe will there exist people who were killed in a plane accident while on the ground in a flight simulator.
Email sucks and SPF, SKIM and probably DMARC suck.
What is wrong with SPF?
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com a -all
That will let you send mail through google, and additionally through any server mentioned in an A record. DKIM sucks, yes, I agree.
I love Mondays. On a Monday, anything is possible.
So you are saying that they should have waited three more days?
If the force carriers for ordinary matter are called bosons...
Then would the force carriers for SIMPs be called...SIMPsons?
You probably nailed it. Particle and theoretical physicists have quite the sense of humour. I'm sure if you send that name to those actually developing the theories that they would consider it.
Thank you, I will be using the analogy in the future! Where are my mod points when I need them?

What's the point when someone can load it onto a flatbed in under 5 minutes and drive off with it?
You don't need a flatbed.
