LOL @ the moderations - everyone who moderates has seen the request to raise people up, rather than to tear people down. Funny, some people just don't see the point in that.
Me? I mistake sarcasm and jokes sometimes - obviously - but I would never mod you down because I disagree with you.
If I'm going to that level, I'll be more straightforward. She's been identified - and we have an office in her city. She can expect a couple of our agents to be visiting her home, as well as the children's school. If/when she says she doesn't HAVE any children, remind her that her sister/mother/cousin does. Better than a curse, IMHO - even if she believes in curse, I don't, and I'll not make a convincing threat with it. I DO believe in tough men with guns carrying a grudge though. We see them in any city of the world, every day.
VLC routinely synchronizes audio and video files - I suppose that it could also syncrhonize a "timed transcript" with an audio file. Better yet - why not just make a video of the transcript scrolling down the page as the audio plays? There are a whole bunch of people on Youtube who have figured out how to do that.
The thing is, they don't need controls on the page for audio playback. Just hang the damned file up there, and let me point VLC or something at it. All the controls necessary reside right here, in my box.
Maybe that's why I have such a hard time with Windows machines. I learned on a TRS-80. I had a keyboard, a little sorta square box, a cassette player, and a screen. Plug them all together, plug in the power, turn it on, wait for the prompt, then c-load your program. Or, just make up your own program in basic. No floppy, no "drive" at all, just the cassettes. It took a couple years to graduate to a "disk operating system" - first there had to be disks! Ahhhh - the lazy, crazy, hazy days of DOS 3.1 . . . . Everything went downhill when they started plugging computers into the telephone lines.
Excellent story. Somewhat transparent, I had the heroine's circumstances figured out in the second chapter, but still a good story. Good short story, I should say, but worth the buck it cost.
For most intents and purposes, there is little real difference. SRWare clearly states here, http://www.srware.net/en/softw... that they hack Chromium - but on other pages, they compare Iron to Chrome.
If you're working from the same source code, the only real differences are those features that you might enable/disable when compiling. Am I right? If so - then it might be argued that Chrome is the more intrusive, more invasive version of Google's spyware. Chromium would be less intrusive spyware. And, Iron is an attempt to turn off all the spyware.
No, you're still not making an accurate representation.
DEBIAN'S USERS are groups such as Ubuntu, Mint (which uses both Ubuntu and Debian on different distros) Sparky, I think CrunchBang - that is, subordinate distros use Debian.
At this point in time, Sparky is paying attention to what I want, and supplying what I want in a working environment, all powered by the latest Liquorix kernel. I've seldom installed and/or assembled a desktop directly from Debian. However, Mint's LMDE had my attention for quite some time after Ubuntu abandoned it's users.
Since then, the Enlightenment desktop has grown bigger and stronger, so I've wandered further afield into Arch-Linux land, but keep bouncing back into Debian land. (basically, I'm following the best support for Enlightenment - if Ubuntu would deign to work on E, I might even give them another try. Then again - maybe not.)
That's what DOCUMENTATION is for. I'm no coder, but I can compile the stuff I want, the way I want it. Any coder watching me decipher code would want to cry - it would be like watching the special Olympics from his point of view. But, I can read the documentation, and pull shit out of the wall of text, or I can stick shit in, or I can just stir the shit a little bit. Try it some time.
"1) they derive directly from Ubuntu, which pays better attention to users,"
Seriously? WTF was Unity? I dumped Ubuntu as soon as they started tooting Unity's horn, and the wife dumped Ubuntu when her version with Mate desktop lost support. Pays attention to it's users? What users are those, exactly? The users who migrated from Windows, and wish to continue along the same path that Microsoft is going?
Nope, you don't get away with that one. You may state that Ubuntu satisfies all your wants and needs in a desktop, and I'll just roll my eyes, and keep my mouth shut. You may NOT proclaim that Ubuntu pays attention to it's users. THAT is a lie!
I haven't even looked to see why Chromium needs to make a kernel call that no other browser needs to make. But - I'm rather skeptical of TSYNC before I even look at it. TFS already suggests that it might be spyware. Glad I no longer run Chromium - SRWare Iron is the same as Chromium, but stripped of all the intrusive bullshit.
I can't help wondering what kind of "life" you have. Have you ever been outside? Have you ever been alone? Have you ever seen a mountain, or the ocean?
I'm glad someone is awake. Idi Amin helps to prove that being black doesn't make you either good or bad - nor does being white make you good or bad. I was going to mention that other black guy's name, the one with all the child soldiers, but I couldn't remember his name - and still can't. He's been in the news within the past couple years, with all the world outraged over his child soldiers among other things. He has a name that sounds kinda silly to an American, innocent and childish sounding - but I just can't remember what it is!
You reckon that Bollywood is going to send lawyers to Outback Fucking Nowhere to try to win a case against each and every one of us? Ehhh - I'll take my chances.
Download and install qBittorrent. I have two and a half shit-tons of search engines incorporated into the client. Hit the search tab, type whatever is piquing my interest, and I get results. The search also informs me which torrents are healthy, which are unhealthy, and most of the time I can figure out which torrents are bogus.
Or - ya know - maybe you could use Google to locate a torrent.
ROFLMAO - she isn't going to give them back. She had them bronzed, and hung them from the rear view mirror. They sparkle in the sunlight as she cruises for more girlie boys to emasculate. Nope - no give backs!!
Well, yes, I guess that you are right. Wasn't Hitler a black guy? And, Stalin? Idi Amin? Pol Pot? Oh yeah - Genghis Khan - he had to be blacker than the blackest black man as well!
And, if they could just run all the black people out of Ukraine, well, their problems would be solved!
Pull your head out of whichever orifice you keep it in - you're suffering from a lack of oxygen.
First - what do the kids want? That takes precedence over ANYTHING that you want, your special other, or your attorney. What do the kids want? And, I hope you haven't been propagandizing them in preparation for asking them.
Second - what do they lose by getting dual citizenship? Absolutely nothing, right? What do they gain? Obviously, they gain the RIGHT (not the privilege, but the right) to enter and to leave the US at will, the right to vote, the right to bear arms, the right to serve - the list of rights goes on and on. No losses, all gains - it would be ignorant to deny the children the opportunities.
Your decision will last all of their lives - and all the lives of their children.
Do the right thing, and give the kids all the options possible for the future. If the children live long happy lives without ever visiting the United States - that's all well and good. If, however, politics and life somehow make their homes uninhabitable or unendurable some time in their lifetimes, they have an out. Hey - the reverse is equally possible. Life HERE may become unendurable sometime in the future, in which case MY kids would envy YOUR kid's rights and opportunities in Europe.
Give the kids the options, now and in the future. No good parent denies his/her children opportunity.

Visit Amazon - I just read this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
It appears that all of these stories are translated into English: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb...
Note that there are two names on each book - Liu's name, the author, and various other names, the translators.
I started with this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

"Or even how humanity will be different in the billion years of his story?"
Why should humanity be different in the next billion years? And - if he IS different, why should you know or understand that difference?
I've an idea that humanity will continue to do exactly what humanity has always done. Grow, expand, consume resources, and compete with himself.

No, you're not SOL - there is a thriving community of Chrome hackers who change anything and everything they don't like about Chrome.

Yep - Kony. That's the guy. He's an absolute pig, but the color of his skin has nothing to do with his piggishness.
Not only are there black pigs, and white pigs - there are even black and white pigs!
Oh - I guess the sarcasm font was filtered out by one of my Firefox addons.
