    related to nvidia not knowing about udev?

    I think it has to do more with hotplug than with udev. Isn't udev userspace and get signaled by hotplug to create devices?

    Correct me if I'm wrong though, please

    He played with what Obi Wan tells Luke in Dagobah in RotJ, when his spirit form tells Luke about his parent.

    But like in the web page's comparisson, I liked the Father look much better that the creepy look of the new edition.

    Well, as "-r" would take the place of a parameter, it makes sense that it was not deleted.

  5. Re:This "story" is click bait on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    Because of Federal funds, seeing how new parties pops up now and again, and how there are so many is seen by some as a symptom of corruption.

    Some are there just for the funds, or so some people believe.

    However I don't know if it would be the same on the USA.

    However having too many parties makes it easier for one party to always win... divide and conquer...

    A lot of sensacionalism and every missmatched sides of the story.

    I don't follow it closely, so I can't make head of tail and don't know if laugh or cry when I hear domething.
    In short everybody accuses each other of some kind of corruption.

  7. Re:This "story" is click bait on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    I live in Mexico and here we have like more than 10 parties. It was just past elections that the power switched from one party (PRI) to another (PAN) and in great part it was due to _unions_ (two parties like _helped_ each other... I don't know how it is supposed to work and if it is even fair as then they would have double budget)

    One problem with how things are done here is that parties get money (from the Federal Electoral Institute IFE)to help their campaign. See?

    If you get enough supporters you can start your party, and you will get budget from the IFE _for_your_campaign_.
    Now add it and read a bit of Mexico's news and you will see what I meant.

    You don't want to many parties either.
    Trust me.

    With two parties, I think it is easier for the power to swing between one and another. Three will make it harder so that one party will hold the mayority of the voters.

    More than that and you might even start seeng corruption in the parties and a soap opera in real life.

    If I remember right, it literally means "cut one's abdomen"
    hara->abdomen
    kiri->some form of the verb kiru, to cut

    ->seppuku
    ->harakiri
    I wonder why they are reverse, and why seppuku is "preferrable".

    Thats true.
    I was glad when mozilla started using it, because Galeon was going downhill...

    I still miss the session saving ability of galeon.

    That and tabbed browsing were the things that had me using galeon.
