1000 miles is nothing when you're traveling at an appreciable fraction of the speed of light. What matters more is the number of routers, switches, etc. etc. between endpoints.
It wouldn't be any different. Extremist views are extremist views, regardless of which side it comes from.
There is on significant difference. The extreme left wing of the Democratic party would be considered center right anywhere else in the world. That is to say, there are no extremists in the Democratic party.
A lot of it is psychological; users convince themselves that computers are too complicated for them to understand, so they are.
Where does this perception come from? Nothing is too complicated to understand if you work at it. I think people are just lazy and don't want to work at understanding the world around them.
Whether or not there are actual universal inalienable rights is irrelevant. We can either act like there are and maintain some level of human dignity. Or we can revert back to a pre-enlightenment mindset where all rights derive from the government. If we do that, it immediately follows that the government can never violate your rights since it defines them. Your choice.
To me, this amounts to a proof by negation. Anyone can see that governments routinely do wrong. If the government defines what is right, how can they do wrong? Since governments do wrong, right and wrong must derive from somewhere other than the government. What other option is there? Either the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are self-evident, or it was OK for Germany to exterminate the Jews. After all, they had no right to life once the government decided otherwise.
I've noticed quite a trend of people on Slashdot being anti-money. Is there a problem with people who work hard and earn more than $40k/year (or 50, 60; whatever the waterline may be) or something?
No, there's a problem with people who golf 4 days a week, spend the rest of their time in meetings instead of doing actual work, and make more than people who put in an honest 40, 60, or 80 hours of labor. Music executives for instance.
Speaking up as an employee is a sure fire way to get pegged as a trouble maker. They won't change a thing until they start getting letters from attorneys representing people affected by this.
That's a fair point. But at this stage it seems like we've moved beyond the field where a general purpose file manager is appropriate. There's no point in having a "date taken" column in a utility that many people will never use for photos. If you really need to sort your photos based on this photo specific metadata, there are photo managers for that.
This isn't what GP was talking about. That's file modification time, not the date the photo was taken (which is data inside the image file, not in the filesystem about the file).
The filesystem time and the exif time should be the same when they're on the camera. Just pass -p to cp when you copy them over.
Linux defaults to the command line because the command line is better. There's a reason we moved beyond pointing and grunting into symbolic language. Writing a few lines of code is in fact easier than manually copying, renaming, converting, etc dozens of files. And when you're done you get a script you can use the next time such a task comes up.
If you really really want to use the GUI though, there's no shortage of file managers that will display the date in a column. Konqueror does it by default. So does Dolphin and Krusader. Same with Thunar, Xfe, and emelfm2. In fact, I'm having trouble coming up with a file manager that doesn't display the date. Rox-filer didn't at first, but it was one click to "show extra details".
in Windows I don't have to check every photo individually for the date taken, it's a column in the file manager.
ls -lt *.jpg
If you want to automatically file them into directories based on date you can use --time-style=iso and pipe it into awk or perl and write a quick script you can use every time you do this. You definitely do not have to sort them by date, create a folder for each date, and drag and drop each group of files into its directory.
You can do the same sort of thing in Powershell I'm sure. This isn't a case where linux is necessarily better than windows, but it is a case where the CLI is definitely better than a GUI.
Until of course you try and run a script written for fooshell on barshell, i.e. when a distro changes its shell.
If you were using #!/bin/sh and expecting bash specific code to work, you're doing it wrong. If you want bash, call it by its proper name and it will always work.
First, the right to socialized systems like military protection and even civil systems like due process definitely requires the assistance of another
Those aren't rights, those are privileges.
So how is copying a "right"? Rights are established by governments
Absolutely wrong. Rights are independent of any government. Otherwise it would be nonsensical to say "The government is violating my rights". Freedom of speech is a right held by every human being on the planet. Some of them live under oppressive governments that don't respect that right. That doesn't mean it's not their right.

Except that you cannot tile the plane with pentagons.
Perhaps we should switch to Penrose pixels then.
Yeah, I don't get it. If there's a bug in kernel 2.6.27, why patch it to 2.6.27.48 instead of upgrading to 2.6.34?
Why does a city government need cable TV in the first place? Save the tax payers some money and get rid of it.
The only thing I want to know is whether Vimperator still works on it.
All ideas are recycled. Not just in software.
Yes, dollars per gig is a very bad metric for SSDs. Lets compare dollars per unit throughput. SSDs would fare much better then.

We can release these into the gulf of mexico. Robots love oil.
It belongs in a museum!
Now imagine how well off we'd be if we spent 480 billion per year on solar power, and only 2 billion on foreign wars.
That's true about science in general. You can't prove that something never happens. But it only takes one example to prove it does.
-inge does not rhyme with -ange.
The problem there is that it doesn't look like a button, just gaudy decoration.
