What problem do the systemd guys think that they're solving by adding a half-assed dns resolver to systemd? Is it just because they can't stand to have any software that's not under their direct control?
Japan does not have a first amendment protecting freedom of religion.
No, but they do have a article in their constitution about religious freedom which appears to be fairly equivalent to the protections of freedom of religion in our First Amendment.
The directors/writers/etc don't put language, nudity and violence just for the fun of annoying special snowflakes like yourself. It's part of the characters, part of the experience, part of the story. If you remove things, it's not worth your time.
Who exactly are you to decide what is or is not worth someone else's time for the purposes of entertainment?
Why do people like you get so personally offended by the way that somebody else wants to view a movie, to the point that you want to dictate the way they watch it in their own home?
What Apple needs is a setting to disallow apps from requesting a rating. If I wanted to give your app a rating, I'd go to the app store to do it. Bugging me about it is just going to annoy me and get you a 1 star rating.
About the only time that I've found it useful is navigation -- hold the button, say "navigate to [address]" is convenient when you're driving. Almost invariably when I've tried to use it for anything else, I end up having to go back and do whatever I wanted by hand anyway because Siri didn't get it or couldn't do what I wanted.
Each transfer the Collective does requires them to play the entire tape through while they sit there and watch it.
While I understand people's reluctance to let things like this go, I have to say: if it is so difficult to find time to watch the tape now, why do you think you're going to want to watch it in the future?
.... you do realize that there are tons of people using Kodi already without using these specialized distributions, right? It's pretty damn obvious that it doesn't have to be bundled with a specialized distribution to be "usable."
The summary mentions it quite clearly. To run a single self contained media centre. Who thinks it's an advantage? The OpenELEC team. The LibreELEC team.
But OpenELEC and LibreELEC don't turn Kodi into its own operating system. They provide an OS that is suitable for running Kodi. There's a difference.
The fact that the Kodi developers focused solely on creating a media player, not an operating system, is "fortunate", not "unfortunate."
Because the number I'm being called from (TechCo minion #2683's extension) is not the number I would want to use to call them back (Tech Co customer service number).
Fairly obviously, the correct design would be for the caller ID to report the minion's extension, but that there would be a separate "callback" number that you could use to call back. (Similar to From: and Reply-to:)
Any design where someone can hide their actual number from the person being called is totally broken.
So, do you think she will run roughshod over the DNC to run again in 2020?
I would say that Democrats couldn't possibly be stupid enough to nominate her again... but on the other hand, they knew exactly how bad a candidate she was and nominated her anyway in 2016. So I wouldn't count her out.
I was going to say the exact same thing. The money isn't really in the ticket sales. It's in the theater's ability to gouge $7 for $0.50 worth of popcorn, or $5 for a soda that costs maybe $0.20 to make. I'm sure other concessions net similar profits... when you can get the same candy at a gas station for half the price, or a grocery store for 1/4th the price, you know someone is seeing dollar signs.
You know, if you could refrain from stuffing your mouth with food for two hours, you don't have to pay anything for concessions.
If you're paying somebody to store or access your money, you're doing something wrong. Drop whatever lousy excuse for a bank you're using and find one that won't charge you.
They don't exist in the US.
You're talking utter nonsense. If you actually believe this, then you've obviously never compared financial institutions.
Banks want your money because they use it to make more money.

I find-it degrading to basically be told: "yeah - we don't feel like talking to you, speak to this machine instead and maybe we'll consider listening later".
You're going to have to accept that you will never be able to contact a large fraction of people via phone with that attitude. Since I have no idea what you're trying to contact me about, I have no reason to think that it's worth interrupting what I'm doing to talk to you. And if somebody thinks that they are too important to leave a voice mail that I can listen to on my own schedule, then I consider them not worth talking to in any case.
Is this some sort of diversity thing that they've started using Go over Chess?
I think it's because it used to be that every time there was a story about chess AIs, a legion of Slashdotters immediately replied "well, yeah, but what about Go?" Somebody finally decided to shut them up.
I presume that they have since realised that there are, in fact, real benefits to having a full team in a single location.
You would think wrong. This mandate started in the second half of last year, and there has been no attempt to move teams that work in different IBM locations together -- or, for that matter, to implement any environment changes that might make having a team all be in the same location useful.
Despite how much I despise Trump, I'm with him on this. Presidential candidates have set a very bad precedent by releasing their tax returns. Your personal tax returns aren't anyone's business but your own, and demanding someone else's is wrong. Period. It doesn't matter what their position is, people should still have rights to privacy.
I'm fine with law enforcement doing an audit of their finances, including past tax returns, but it is not reasonable to insist that the records be released publicly.

Two would be better.
But then we'd have to admit that there are more than two political parties. Can't let the voters discover that!

He could have easily made the same bill without the insult and had a good chance of it passing,
Given that he's a Democrat and such a bill is obviously targeted at the Republican President, it never would have had a chance at passing.
Although I'm in full agreement that we should expect more of our legislators than this kind of juvenile attention-seeking.
Any two-bit programmer can write a program to make 1677216 unique pixels.
Wait, wouldn't that require a 24-bit programmer?

Unfortunately, Kodi is not its own operating system, meaning it has to be run on top of an OS.
Unfortunately? What possible reason could anyone have to consider that to be a disadvantage?
Such as the entire period before around 1980 then according to you.
...Try the entire period before and including 2017.
Just because the bad design is causing more and more problems for us today doesn't mean that it wasn't broken before.

This is 100% about reducing head count.
You must be new here.
But did the publication inadvertently break the law?
Maybe they didn't think the consequences through, but I find it hard to believe that nobody involved realized that this sort of thing is illegal.
Crap like this article would never have been posted in Cmdr Taco's day.
It probably would have been posted, and then posted again 3 hours later by CowboyNeal.
Trump to this day won't release his tax returns.
