It can be very difficult. My scientific plotting package, veusz, was written using Python and Qt, so it should be easily portable. However setting up a sensible developer environment on Windows to compile the Python C extensions was a nightmare.
I would love if you would expand on how you did set up. I'm working on a small Python / Qt (pyside) application that I would love to make available, but I would need to know how to create a Windows installer. I do have other open-source software on Github, by the way, but it is all libraries.
Know any example of a Windows-compatible open source project that doesn't distribute binaries?
Gimp and Krita for two.
For a precompiled binary of a decent image-editing application on Windows, only Photoshop and Paint.net come to mind. I'm not even sure if Blender currently has Windows binaries.
I wasn't expecting you to go out and start hunting. I meant that if you are to imply that Linux is poisoning Linux, then more than a single incident would have to be shown.
However, it is probably not a bad idea for someone to go out and actually start hunting! Thank you for the insight.
This is rather insightful, but doesn't stand merit on it's own. Can you find other instances of Linux seemingly deliberately weakening Linux security mechanisms?
So apart from the vision, agility, quality, execution, origination of new ideas, brand recognition, marketable "face", and retail presence, they are the new Apple.
Fish don't travel nose to nose. That would cause issues. Nose to tail seems to work much better for them
Fish don't travel nose to tail, either. They are staggered. Until we allow staggered "lanes" instead of rigid, fixed lanes, then we won't be traveling like fish.
Note also that fish are narrow, i.e. they have a small cross section for their volume. This helps to travel staggered. Maybe staggered-driving cars will need to be narrower, longer, and taller. Will people get used to one-across seating?
All those images that you mention should have a long-term cache set on them.
In my limited experience writing web applications, I've have files that I would long-term cache (1 year, such as.png images) and no cache (actual dynamic pages). The site homepage I might set to cache for 1 hour or so. Also, the client client could set the "If-Modified-Since" header. This is a solved problem, with many solutions for different use cases. Also, the 'store data on the client' idea is also a solved problem with cookies. If a page needs a more dynamic cache than what is available, then use a cookie to set the version of each page that is had. I suppose that the etag is like a per-page cookie as opposed to a per-site cookie (only guessing) which might have some advantage if the dev is uncreative enough to use real cookies properly.
Face it, espionage has been a fact of life between governments since at least the time of the ancient Greeks...
And soon, it we don't so something about it: Year 4026, in the Human's Republic of Earth: "Face it, government surveillance of citizens in their own homes has been a fact of life since at least the time of the ancient American empire..."
You might think at this point that companies and advertisers start getting the message. Instead, they just keep finding more and sleazier ways.
Which companies? You do realize that this is a browser feature, right? Mozilla et. al. introduced this into the browser, not some third-party. Go look up the Bugzilla page and commit for this feature for the guy's name and contact info.
If you ask me (which I guess the OP did), the Nook Simple Touch is a great little device, but the Nook Tablets are worthless. Since you can get the Nook App on just about any tablet (including Windows 8 tablets) you might as well get a tablet you actually want and then just install that, if you really want to use Nook ebooks on a tablet. There's no compelling reason to get a Nook Tablet.
Another thing is that the Nook Simple Touch is very easily rooted. After rooting I've got a backlit $120 e-ink tablet running full Android.
I mostly use it to review Anki, but it is adequate for browsing in Opera, reading books, or most anything else that a tablet does. Without the backlight but with wifi the battery lasts at least 10-12 hours of use, and the screen is absolutely the best screen I've ever use, on any mobile or stationary device.
The fact that the SUMMARY leaves out this very important point shows how bad the editors are.
I fail to see where the guy's religion comes into the picture. There is a difference between profiling and between hating Muslims. One is a security measure, the other is bigotry.
Oh, and I'm an Israeli jew. Half my good neighbours are Muslims. Of course, my country has an existential threat, not a power-hungry government, so our citizens are able to make this distinction.
Though I will admit, googling it and seeing the photo of it was actually an emotional experience. I wonder when the next time a creature lays eyes upon it will be, and what type of creature that might be.
Other than a flag on the moon marking one of our pinnacle moments of advancement.
Actually, you don't even have a lag on the moon anymore. You haven't been there to maintain it for 40 years, and it was already completely bleached white from the sun after only 10 years.
You do have a few well-preserved artifacts of 1960s manufacturing techniques on the moon, but nothing else.
who the hell volunteers to be infected by Malaria?
Heros. Not cape-wearing crime-fighting heros like you find in comic books, but real heros that put themselves in danger to advance mankind. When you meet the uneducated African sustenance farmer who volunteered to be exposed to Malaria, you should treat his as you would treat Cook, or Armstrong, or Bouazizi

Thank you! I've now got some homework to do...

As counter-intuitive as this may sound, gases are indeed fluids (for a given value of fluid).
That is not counter-intuitive. It does, however, depend on understanding the difference between a fluid and a liquid.
Actually, since many queries are the result of parsing a user's input in some scripting language, such a query is actually feasible.

Gotcha.
And the roads. The roads go without saying.
And don't call me Shirley!

or do you think we should go into all negotiations or conflicts blind and ignorant of what we face?
That's a good point. I also like to peek at the other party's hand when I play poker.

In what sense? As opposed to a cookie, how much less network traffic is sent? What percentage of the average page size does that represent?

unintended consequences are not intended, you would think that was obvious.
What do you suppose the intended consequences were, then? Keep in mind that cookies already exist, and did so when this feature was added.

Right, I mentioned that in my second paragraph.
Though I will admit, googling it and seeing the photo of it was actually an emotional experience. I wonder when the next time a creature lays eyes upon it will be, and what type of creature that might be.

Its not a study. It's just someone monitoring their own laptops battery life. Lighten up.
Then why is it being reported on at a news website?
I think you need a new new plan
