That's undisputable. However, it's what's dissolved in it that's the problem. Sewage contains pharmaceuticals and hormones - none of which are removed by the treatment process. Generally, recycled water isn't even tested for them.
Also a lot of people aren't interested in hearing the same music throughout their lives like older generations did.
I'm an old(ish) person (56) and i hate old music - i've heard all that old crap far too many times. But i don't live in a city and i don't have internet everywhere and i want mp3s. And i'm quite happy to pay for them - but i won't pay for streaming.
The only Australian mp3 seller (Bigpond Music) has recently stopped operating in favour of a streaming service, which really only leaves Google Play (which is a pain in the arse). Itunes is completely useless if you use Linux, and there's fuck all else as far as i can tell.
It's unbelievable that a data centre can't cope with an extra degree or two. What sort of idiot designs these places? Haven't they heard of tolerances?
One of the worst things about OOP is the stupid analogies used to explain it. If the people you're explaining it to can't understand it in abstract, programming terms then they're not worth wasting your time on because they'll be useless programmers anyway. But, of course, it's probably not the audience that's the problem, but the writer - who's incapable of communicating without resorting to stupid analogies.
Stop making excuses and learn how to do your job and you'll be happier too.
Too right! There's a lot of whining on slashdot about this sort of thing. As soon as you see it, you know the writer's just incompetent and blaming their tools.
That's how i feel too. However, i'm a computer nerd and have been for 35 years, and i suspect that makes me a bit different from average users. While Gnome 3 irritates me a lot (as do all other desktops, incidentally), i can see the point of it - and it's not aimed at you or me.
Is it so wrong to believe in different languages for different things? It seems crazy to try and create one tool that does everything just so developers can be lazy or negligent.
It's wrong if you're lazy or not very smart - because you want a language that saves you having to actually do anything. You've only got to look at the shit that passes for web development on some sites to see that there's no shortage of those sorts of people working in the industry.
If you people put as much effort into learning how to use the tools you have as you do into making excuses about why you can't use them, you might actually get some useful work done.
It's the colour of the light, more than its brightness. Blue light inhibits melatonin production, increasing wakefulness. Red light's ok at night, blue light's not.
Yes, Digikam's good - so long as you use kde. I don't, but i put up with its annoying gnome incompatibilities because it's the best there is - and i've tried all the rest.
That doesn't make sense - "so long as you use kde" + "I don't".
How can it not make sense? Digikam's not good if you use Gnome. It's usable, but some functions don't work.
As for GNOME incompatabilities - can you expand on the "incompatabilities" and conflicts you have? Have you filed bug reports?
Some things don't work. I've recently upgraded Fedora and i haven't tried Digikam with the new version, so i don't know if the problems are the same. But previously, image "tool tips" (i.e., showing metadata etc when you hover the mouse pointer over a thumbnail) were blank, and the preview image was blank - which was rather annoying. No, i haven't filed bug reports as i haven't checked if they are bugs (by testing it with KDE) or just incompatibilities with Gnome. Digikam is a KDE application and it never claims to work with Gnome.

Yeah, Digikam's the best i've found so far - but it doesn't work very well under gnome unfortunately, and i don't like kde. I've tried pretty much all the Linux photo organisation software and Digikam's best so far - even with its gnome incompatibility. All in all, the issue of managing photos seems to be constantly problematic.

Fuck you.
Calm down child, you'll have a seizure if you're not careful. TFA doesn't mention reverse osmosis - which is very expensive and slow.
Remember, that delicious tap water was once pooped in by a dinosaur.
Maybe. But dinosaurs didn't take pharmaceutical drugs.

There's no T-Mobile in this country.
As i understand it, they shut some servers down because they were worried about overheating.

Spotify lets you download tracks to your device.
As DRM-free mp3s? Because if not, so what?

The only problem is that they're temporary carbon sinks.
No they're not. You just can't see the wood for the trees.. It's not the tree that is the carbon sink, it's the forest.
They are very inneficient carbon sinks. The problem is that they do eventually die and decompose.
....... and are replaced by new trees. It's not the tree that's the carbon sink, it's the forest.

Not any more it's not. And it never was with anyone who had a clue. Flash based web sites always were and always will be shit.

Frankly, the w3c standards are crap.
If you people put as much effort into learning how to use the tools you have as you do into making excuses about why you can't use them, you might actually get some useful work done.
If I am not mistaken you can do the same thing in Haxe, and that includes Flash development as well.
That would be useful if you had a time machine and wanted to work 10 years ago.
Flash? Seriously? are you suggesting the ability to produce the worst web sites ever is a selling point?

A better idea is to get a red led bulb off ebay. Save electricty and sleep better.

Small hint: writing like a troll just makes you look stupid.
All the bugs i've mentioned have already been reported. And, guess what... They only seem to affect people who don't use kde.
Yes, Digikam's good - so long as you use kde. I don't, but i put up with its annoying gnome incompatibilities because it's the best there is - and i've tried all the rest.

Why don't you mount your data partition on /home? That's what i'd do if my o/s was on an SSD - regardless of whether i used digikam or not.
