Whenever the economy goes down, the time of the polite or "professional" type has come to replace his rather impulsive or even choleric collegues. This does not happen by incident: politeness or courtiousness -in the meaning of mastering the oftenly difficult protocol at court- was the only chance for legions of otherwise untalented noble young men at Europe's courts to win the king's attenttion or favour and get a job. This kind of politeness usually came -and still comes- along with lies and intrigue and a general climate dominated by fear and dishonesty.
Exactly. The hydraulic reaction described in the summary is the very same as used in today's concrete. As are the wooden casks. (Today we also use to throw a lot of iron in there to deal with tension, but that doesn't affect erosion.) The real deal is a lot deeper in TLA.
...and don't forget that FLAC is the format of choice for digital DJing or any other way to play digital audio on big sound systems, as FLAC will decompress exactly ("lossless") to the original PCM stream while putting little extra stress to the CPU and -because of reduced file size- significantly reducing I/O load compared to uncompressed data.
Until today, Jabber for chat - that's going to be a problem or maybe I just won't chat anymore
First thing I installed on Android was xabber. Maybe second, as I tried one or two free XMPP clients more, but stayed with xabber. I haven't used GoogleTalk since. Not sure if I even installed it.
What do you need accountability for, when you've got the power?
Seriously, any organization nowadays seems to be structured in a way that makes it nearly impossible to find someone who actually is responsible for said entity's actions. Inaccountability appears to be planfully created by todays corporate or administrative leaders.
On the server I don't give anything about which version of Firefox I could install. All I want there is an Apache that won't get rooted and ssh to be there when I need it. At home I am running testing which is -with a little tweaking- pretty much bleeding edge and as customizeable as no other distribution. I've tried a lot of them and I always returned to Debian after I once got used to it.
Right now, I am running wheezy with kernel 3.8.5. Noone keeps you from building your own kernel. It's just that the stable version (and the installer) come with 3.2.
I still have the HP. Guess where I'm typing this from?... Yep, the HP running Lubuntu 13.04, and it works *surprisingly* well.
What?! How'd you upgrade from HPUX 10? (Half serious - I actually own a HP A9000/715 in working condition. It's just a bit difficult to find software for it.)
It's not only that they last longer (supposed they do, which I can't confirm). The main reason to buy a new machine has always been mostly speed. First we had the GHz explosion of the late 1990s when CPU clockspeeds went through the roof (my first Wintel box was a 200MHz PII, my next one ran at 1700MHz), then memory greedy 64bit machines and now... nothing for a while. Everything concentrates at the mobile market. Fine. These thingies still leave a lot to improve, liberate, hack while the good, old PC mostly does what it is supposed to. (Even if you're gamer, because your machine's not really supposed to be complete ever, is it?)
I have been using RSSowl for years and will keep doing so as I never found a better reader. Runs almost everywhere, displays RSS, manages feeds and is quite configureable.
I guess, they rather broadcast the noise from the rotating contact brushes that connect the rotor to the mains. They tend to be very noisy, if unshielded. Great idea in a region where such installations are common (not so much in cities or generally wherever regulations on electromagnetic interference apply). I just wondered if they really use a 30m pole? I assume, the details about this one got lost in translation....
Blender is the only 3d software I know where its impossible to learn without a manual.
What else do you know, then? As just another "pro", I don't feel ashamed to say that I was unable to get anything out of Cinema 4D without the manual when I tried for the first time. Not even to talk about AutoCAD in 3D mode. I dare to claim that practically nobody will get anything three-dimensional done using AutoCAD without the help of a manual (still hard enough) or some training. Maybe newer versions are better, but anything I've seen between 1992 and 2009 was just terrible.
This applies even to 3D software said to be user-friendly, like p.e. VectorWorks. I've seen three freshman classes start with VW and C4D at the university - but I've never seen anyone successfully design even 2D objects without training. I don't say that Blender's interface or documentation are very good (especially the documentation is plain awful, IMO.) But I don't think other tools of similar complexity are that much easier to handle.
Agreed. (and implemented years ago). I'd nevertheless run fail2ban, too. Just to reduce traffic and system load. No need to block whole countries, really. It's completely sufficient to block the bad guys.
He's completely right. As a gov monitor the guy did not have to hack into anything. Everything was already there. Technically, he did not even have to use equipment in a different way as he was expected to - and blackmail hardly qualifies as "social engineering".
No hack found here. Just a cheap and nasty case of corruption - but what else would you expect from a professional denouncer?
Looks very much like a MetaWatch SDK to me. Anyone with some programming skills can slap together something like that -or something that actually works in some way- for $200.

Their own pride, and probably corporate policy which says "all things must be Windows".
Maybe someone there remembers the long and miserable agony of late DEC?
TP was -according to Netcraft- the provider hosting by far the most scam or phishing sites for quite some time.

Well... Version three doesn't bite, indeed. It just sucks.

uh... and it's free and open source, of course.

the ordinary water-lifting dynamo fitted with a 30-meter copper pole
be? The water-lifting dynamo is obvious, but "30-meter copper pole"? Some sort of bipolar antenna?
10 years? Well, prepare to be surprised. I still remember the -horrific- 1.x GUI. Can't believe that I really used it for everyday's work back then.

"Some ideas make you dumber the moment you learn of them". This is pretty much the precise definition of an ignorant's views on knowledge.
