Right, so charge people to use roads and freeways. After all if they value the convenience of having a robust economy where good and services are mobile then they should be willing to pay.
Same with Sweden heading to Denmark for booze. I took the ferry from DK to SE the day before Midsommer, and everyone but me was coming back hauling lots of booze bought at a cheaper tax rate.
Most of of the day trips from Helsinki to Tallinn are done to shop more cheaply than at home. I don't know if it's still the case today, but it used to be popular to head to Estonia to get a haircut. So spending an extra 20 euros cuts into the savings.
I suspect that in older more formal English, that the sentence "he peed on the moon" would imply that extra material was being left on the moon. The modern usage though is still inherently vague and thus should be clarified if the comic effect wasn't intended. Modern English is very vague which can really confuse non-native speakers.
Just when I think slashdot is boring and it's time I unsubscribe, something like this happens and I have to go make some popcorn and then continue watching.
But what happens if the TV maker goes out of business, or they stop supporting that TV model? If I spend $500 or more on a TV then I want to keep that TV for at least a decade if I can. People need to get off of the disposable consumer devices bandwagon.
Freedom of speech is about government interfering in speech, whereas social media sites are run by companies who can censor as much or little as they like.
There's some truth there, Apple is heavy handed in screwing up GCC. The file called "gcc" in Mac OS X is not actually gcc, it's just a front end that supports the same options for backwards compatibility. The result is that this screws up a lot of things, such as code with inline assembler, and gives the naive user of "gcc" on OS X the wrong impression that GCC is buggy or unstable. Apple screws up a lot of things here, they're singularly focused on making the Mac a dev environment for iOS only, and each new release brings a new set of problems with their tools. Seriously, they left out stdarg.h, which is a part GCC and a part of the C standard, it's crazy and OS X is seriously diminished as a unix development environment.
Are these patches really non-GPL? These are just patches to elisp files, not plugins, and not new files. So they have to keep the license on the original files, which means this remains GPL.
Not on Facebook, but on Google+ one of the first things I did was to disallow tagging of me in photos. It's just a really really stupid thing to tag yourself or someone else in a photo, or from my view anyway (it's been too long that I can't put myself into the mindset of a kid).
I don't use an iphone, but when I see one it just looks dumb. A grid of icons of uniform size. Whereas android has widgets so you can see a chunk of information at once without opening an app first; and Windows Phone lets you resize the "icon" to be larger and make it an active icon displaying more than the number of unread emails. So I don't think Ubuntu is strictly being new at this style, instead just taking it a bit further and hiding the app grid altogether; maybe the scopes are just glorified widgets?
The snag then is what happens when there's something new out there. Ie, the next killer phone game (angry bird ninja), does that go into the ubuntu "game" scope, is there a way to select it and open it, or...? The way it sounds right now, you'd need serious integration work into the scope for each new type of thing you want to do as opposed to stand-alone apps, so developer effort does not seem lessened even though that is the claim.
Fair and balanced to Fox means a counter view to what they (mistakenly) see as overwhelming dominance of liberal networks. So they make absolutely no attempt to provide fair news reporting on their own network. What they've failed to do (probably intentionally) is to realize that those other networks are attempting to be fair and balanced rather than intentionally adopting a particular extremist political view.
So Fox thinks there's a big heavy liberal weight on one side of the teeter-totter, so it gets the biggest fattest kid it knows to sit on the other side of the teeter-totter. And of course the fat kid goes crashing his ass into the ground because there wasn't anything on the other side after all except maybe a slight liberal reality bias. If Fox had instead decided to counterbalance with a slight conservative bias then they'd have been much more respected instead of coming across of wingnut buffoons.
Who is "they" in that sentence. If you mean muslims then that is highly misleading, anymore than saying the Christians bombed the federal building in Oklahoma city, because it implies that the religion as a whole is behind this rather than a few disturbed individuals with a very warped interpretation of their religion.
This is the false conclusion that Fox wants it viewers to take away, that all muslims are inherently evil and that even an association with muslims is traitorous. It sounds completely absurd and yet there are so many people who believe this.
But that's not a good reason to water down the standards. I don't want my doctor to have taken shortcuts in med school, so similarly I don't want the people who design medical devices, airplane control systems, and other such devices to have taken shortcuts getting into or out of school.

Right, the closest neighbors are Russia and Estonia, and no one likes Russia.

You also need to gold plate that caesium atomic clock.

And definitely coming back from the moon was more important than a mid mission salary negotiation.
He was on the moon, and he peed into a waste management unit, but he did not pee *on* the moon (not even to write his own name).
Keeping up the pretend embargo isn't going to accomplish that either.
I'd much rather have Netflix make inroads in Cuba than our cable companies and other media providers.

Smart TVs seem like a waste, you spend much more than the cost of Roku to get something that's worse than a Roku.
I still haven't seen a decent definition of SJW. Even in context the most I can figure out that it means "people who I disagree with".

Like I said earlier, I don't get my face tagged as I disabled it (and I'm not on Facebook).
Also very hard if there is not a set of reference photographs.

The summary uses it appropriately. Only the headline gets it wrong, but headlines have twisted the language for a few hundred years now.
