Hmm, most people I know with a weight problem don't eat regularly at fast food joints, and they do like vegetables. And I don't know about Burger King, but MacDonalds had Broccoli soup at least a few years ago.
Where did I say "Ask Slashdot"? I said Slashdot should be like that. Whether Ask Slashdot disappears as a result is irrelevant to me.
In any case, I don't mind Ask thread like this, where by definition there's little out there to research. But I could live without the "Hurr Durr, how do I do X, which happens to have thousands of guides and tutorials explaining how to do it?"
You misunderstood, 'though it's not really your fault, it's confusing.
When Alice removes the files, it's not system-wide deletion, just a local one. In fact, she can remove them safely because Git Annex tracks their location and knows there is at least one more copy remotely, so it's safe to delete the local one.
You can even configure it to require three or more copies of each file.
And follow-up: how do you know those few dozen "commenters" that post in a single story are average/. "commenters"? Maybe pro-file-sharing advocates are more likely to post in file-sharing stories...
Uh, Google just applied for it, ICANN still hasn't made a decision, so we have no idea if a corporation "can own a non-trademark general use term as a TLD".
So, let's have some examples, Taco Cowboy - unstable products produced by companies with a large number of women versus stable and robust ones produced by all-male companies? Did Microsoft put all the women on Windows ME? Is Facebook's security department an all women shop? I think we should be told.
So fucking tired of this bullshit. Parent spoke against quotas, not women. That argument is a complete strawman.
The point is that if you put quotas instead of fixing the underlying issues, you'll make the problem worse. Women in general still won't want to go to IT, and the ones that already do will be even less respected than they are now because they won't be able to prove their value by competing with all their peers.
I'm also looking for one. Does anyone have any suggestions for a 12/13" laptop that can withstand some knocks and falls? I haven't found one that isn't designed for taking on the Dakar trip and therefore cost $2000+.
Your decision of not buying those laptops from China may have cost a few meals to some poor Chinese worker who can't get a job. But hey, at least your conscience is clear, right?
Actually, not buying from them would be akin to slavery, since it'd remove their possibility of choosing between rural life and factory jobs.
Slavery wouldn't be slavery if the slaves had the choice between working there or not. Slavery was slavery because they had no choice. Which is exactly what self-righteous westerners are trying to do.
The lofty moral tone of the opponents of globalization is possible only because they have chosen not to think their position through. While fat-cat capitalists might benefit from globalization, the biggest beneficiaries are, yes, Third World workers.
Nobody reasonable disagrees that this is a real problem for some people. But the claim is that they're "ruining a generation", which is very big claim.
Personally, I find it very hard to believe. I certainly know some WoW nerds, but they're a very small part of all the people I know, and I'm right in that age section.

IPv6 most certainly does NAT: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6296

How could I find out it was irrelevant without reading it?
Hmm, no, you can't, there's no AOT compiler for python.

Yeah, that's why I wrote my follow-up question below: how does parent know they're "average slashdot commenters"?
I prefer Slashdot to be the kind of site where its users research and try to develop their own stuff instead of asking others to do it for them.
If he wants someone else to design him/her a syncing solution, then Dropbox is a valid answer.
If (s)he wants to build it him/herself, then (s)he should be reading the man page for rsync, not this thread.

It won't be much "their own solution" if (s)he's asking /. for one, now will it?
I'd vote for Tarsnap. Cheap, secure (encrypted in the client), integrates well with standard Unix tools, etc.
And follow-up: how do you know those few dozen "commenters" that post in a single story are average /. "commenters"? Maybe pro-file-sharing advocates are more likely to post in file-sharing stories...
How do you know those are GPL advocates?
Why not just "google"? Like "uz": http://uz/

No, the rest of the world where English is the official language is fucked. We (the others) don't care.
The borough says it doesn't need BT, as Richard Branson's Virgin Media has got it more or less covered.
Yeah, and who needs competition, we all know monopolies are the best way to ensure low prices and good services, am I right?
I understand that the boxes may be ugly, but that statement is utterly moronic.
Except before they didn't even need an ID.

The US CIO/CTO is a brogrammer.

Not true, acid rain was just less prevalent.
Yes, Krugman, that neocon: http://web.mit.edu/krugman/www/smokey.html

It's already happening.
