Have you tried flying London to Melbourne? You're lucky if you can do it in as little as 24 hours, and you will effectively lose two nights sleep unless you're the kind of person who sleeps anywhere. A non-stop flight would be an improvement, but I suppose it will still take a long time. My wife is from Australia and it normally takes us 33+ hours door-to-door when we visit her family, so yes, I would love a faster option.
Where do you get 100' from? This isn't even enough separation for current non-self driving cars, only covers thinking distance for those paying attention (0.68s) and leaves no room for braking distance. The recommended 2s gap requires about 300'.
It is an annoyance, but it's still more convenient than no desktop interface.
I find this whole diversification of messaging methods really irritating, and it's got to the point where it's now reducing communication for me. I can't remember who's on what system. I don't want to be running half a dozen apps, so it is useful that I can at least access things Facebook messages through a browser (after I see the email notification) without having to install another buggy, battery draining, privacy violating Facebook app. Then there's things like WeChat which is my only regular contact with friends from my time living in China simply because of Chinese government restrictions.
It's good because it's cross platform unlike iMessage, and it never falls back to SMS/MMS and unexpectedly costs you money. Then again one of the bonuses of the EU is they're kicking the phone company's arses and makin European roaming much cheaper.
Downside is it's a crap app, it's another app, it's owned by Facebook and it totally butchers photos by downscaling and recompressing them.
There was an article in the New England Journal of Medicine back in 2003 that showed that the difference in spending between Canada and the US came down basically to the additional admin costs in the US: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/1...
In fact it's unbelievable how much the admin costs are. It's interesting looking at those numbers and the ones you quoted, which if accurate surely show costs are increasing far faster than the rate of inflation.
As a foreigner who doesn't even live in the US, perhaps you could help me understand how the "evil" of Clinton will damage the country? From here it looks like Trump is already causing damage in international relations and domestically in terms of fuelling bigotry and hate. I suppose with Clinton we should expect a presidency distracted by the GOP going after her for an impeachment like her husband (mail server instead of Lewinsky)?
I don't think you can make any judgements about 'nightlife'. I've lived on both continents and find nightlife is however you want to make it. Having moved back to the UK I find the scene much better than the US because nobody (at least in London) drives.
I've always resented the TV companies in the UK for putting the best things on the box when I'm out. Love the iPlayer though.
Good lord if the best ITV can do is X Factor when they're faced with real competition then how shit would they be if the Beeb were neutered? Thank F*** for the Beeb for raising standards. £12.12/month for the license fee is an absolute bargain!
Ahh yeah in the 'old' days when people would post "/. is shit so I'm heading over to K5". It seems to me that K5 was down to the neurotic, weird and bigotted 10-15 years ago, and I'm surprised it's taken this long to die. Wasn't there something dodgy with Rusty as well?
Elastic straps over the shoulders and round the waist keep Major Peake in contact with the running belt of the treadmill, located in the station's Tranquility Node.
The straps are designed to generate the foot force necessary to give astronauts' bones and muscles a workout in weightlessness.
He said: "One of the biggest challenges is the harness system. Obviously, my bodyweight has to be firmly attached to the treadmill by this harness, and that can rub on the shoulders and around the waist."
The Chichester-born astronaut ran the London Marathon in 1999, finishing in three hours, 18 minutes and 50 seconds. He did not try to beat that time as his medical team wanted to ensure he was perfectly healthy for his return to Earth in June.
He's clearly a very good runner and although they say he didn't try to break his previous record for safety reason, isn't it more likely that it's because it was 17 years ago?
Smaller planes have the benefit of reducing expenses for some shitty airlines who are more likely to be hit up the EU's consumer friendly flight delay compensation regulations.
Indeed, I ride the Piccadilly Line several times a week. It opened beginning of the 20th century, although some parts of it predate it considerably (Turnham Green station for instance opened 1869). Its rolling stock dates from 1973. You can be sure that it wasn't designed to carry the 600,000 passengers per day that it's currently handling! I am looking forward to the upgrade though.
I think the original point -- perhaps not well expressed -- I was trying to make before you went off on your rant is that popular oftens mean better or well used, scrutinised and understood. At least more so than something you've written yourself. This story's about something that's totally trivial, so I'm talking in general terms. What you're describing is this grey area of decision making, where a lot of developers go too far in the direction of always re-inventing, even experienced ones.

Perfect finale to 20+ years of psychological torture on death row.

I use web.whatsapp when I'm on my computer. I much prefer typing with a keyboard
Short for "Unterseeboot", or "Undersea boat" in English.
I think this boat will long outlast him!

Sorry typo: 37th vs. 39th. Still nothing to boast about.
37th rank vs. 38th is hardly much to boast about though.

Well I'm finding myself increasingly turning to Open Streetmaps based software because of too many Google failures.
I don't get how anybody can think guns are answer to any problem. Look at how fucked up the US is if you have any doubt about this.
Apple Mail is pretty limited. Oulook does actually run on OS X BTW.
How's maildir doing these days? They've been talking about it for so long that I have no idea whether it's safe to use.

ProRes is really quite popular especially in the professional space. What are alternative solutions for decoding ProRes on Windows?
... summarise the story for me? It contained so many errors and poor sentence structure that I couldn't follow what the submitter was trying to say.
Survey of 83? WTF?
