It cant be a quick test either. Some machines start randomly hard locking with ASPM managed by the kernel. I have one of those. Uptime can vary from 5 minutes to 3 hours.
And IMHO... Some power wastage on some systems is less of an issue than random crashes on others. If people force ASPM and machine starts crashing, they will know what went wrong...
Machines like mine are probably the cause of the offending commit. Since maverick I had to force ASPM off on it or use lucid kernel because it caused frequent hard locks.
Just let those that want to and have nothing to live for die... My granny had Alzheimer's. My mum nursed her at our home and I watched her go from almost normal to totally gone. She died few days before my birthday seven years ago. It was sad but my mum didn't cry much, because as she said, she had been gone for a long time. The most painful time was when she could still understand things a little bit... When she could still see that everything she tried to do came out wrong... and then she was so gone that she had to wear diapers and all she could do sit there shredding paper, because cutting rags for carpet material was so ingrained into her mind that that was the last thing left... If I knew that was happening to me, Id rather die in one go. Without degrading like that... Without losing myself bit by bit knowing full well where it leads... So I full well understand my favorite author's choice. I just hope he is allowed to make it...
Give external control over over a non-networked part of my device to a thrid party? with any intent? HELL NO. Really. If mankind buys such devices without thought... May the gods be merciful on us all.
Read the relevant section. They tested the algorithm against browsers that had cookie indication of sameness.
"We ran our algorithm over the set of users whose cookies indicated that they
were returning to the site 1{2 hours or more after their first visit, and who now
had a different fingerprint."
Take that out and you get a flood of false positives.
I visited that site several times with the same browser over several weeks, each time it was unique. Some plugin had updated, some font had been installed... So for tracking me it would be totally useless. The uniqueness it identifies is only valid for a session or two.
Anonymous is just like the public, it contains people of all sorts. But its not a group of people with a label. It's a phenomena. It happens when assorted people, strangers, act with a common goal. For that to happen the goal needs to be known and agreed up on and to do that the vision needs to be forwarded to as many as possible. You cant be loud, even obnoxiously so, and secret at the same time. It just doesn't work. No matter what your intentions are.
If Anonymous did it, you would have heard about it at the time. Anonymous relies on a public call to arms to mobilize its sleeper agents among us. There would have been battle calls and if it was taken up by a significant number Sony would have cried foul and Anonymous would have gloated like there was no tomorrow. It didn't happen. That is all the proof it takes. Anonymous cant operate secretly, its just not possible. If there is a legion marching, you will know.
I rather think the old newspaper clippings with the birth announcement were conclusive evidence because they are dated and lock it firmly to a time when nobody knew it would matter. However I rather agree on the general principle. Its one of those things that a sane person does not give a reproductive activity about. The whole argument is a straw man. A mandate was given and used. People should really pay more attention to what is happening now rather than flogging the dead horse.
Yes, I'm aware of that meaning. Have been for some time, long since before I started using the program. Again, why would a child be offended by a rather random name overlap? All the menus list it for some time as GNU Image Manipulation Program. I've been fat all my life, I got ridiculed and called fat as a kid a lot, never did it occur to me to take offense at FAT filesystem or any other lingual overlaps for that.
Why would a disabled child be offended by a name of a program? It does not in any way pertain to their condition, its simply a label on an item and an acronym at that. Being offended that product labels is not what a disabled kid needs sure enough, but by hiding everything unseemly by your standards is not how you go about it.
Only people throwing a fit about the name are native english speakers with an uptight and narrow minded approach to languages. (5.5% of the worlds population are native english speakers, so 94.5% of the world has no namely objections:P). All you need to not give a crap about coincidental acronym overlaps with naughty words is speaking more than one language. There is always humorous overlap.
Also, anyone in power in corporate world can count his dollars. You can find GIMP a lot in the corporate world, where design is not the primary goal and BSA wields a big stick but imaging is utilized for other reasons.
And as you can see from the 2.7.2 splash, no sticking of the head in the sand occurs. We(well, at least I) just think the arguments presented for changing the name are rather stupid. Nobody asks you to utilize the acronym. Feel free to call it IMP, GIPro, Bella or whatever. It's still GNU Image Manipulation Program.
BTW, the dominatrix in the splash is the GEGL mascot, a five legged goat.
I don't know... I have never had any hangups about nudity... My own or others so a job interview with some completely nude people would be a nonissue. However, I do prefer to wear at least underwear myself. Panties for females are more than just body coverings you know specially in one week out of four. Tampons are nice but they do leak a little sometimes... And running around without a bra is just plain uncomfortable if you have more than a B cup...
(Full disclosure, Im quite fat:P)
The trick is to reward legal buyers with something that the cracked copy owners cant get, because it's not a material item. Positive reinforcement etc... It can be something as simple as access to support forums, but it has to be something that you cant just install and forget about.
I personally cant play any 3D FPS games displayed even on regular 2D screen. I get motion sickness... I cant even imagine how fast I would get sick playing something like this 3DS...

It is terminal because it has no cure. You will not ever get magically better. What in the end kills you can be whatever.

Im reading the quoted sentence clearly stating that they picked users they had cookies for. Out of those were the matches made.
Yes, I read it. But the results are also marsh gas if you take the cookie based set selection out of it.
Good one :D

Okay, that is a bit more sensible talk. It still boils down to "Whitelist your god damn cookies".

Rotate tool, in tool box. If it happens using that tool, make sure your ctrl key isnt stuck.

According to current plans, this will always remain switchable and even in swm you can still have floating docks, just all images are stacked.
