Actually, I was genuinely unaware that in the US, where small-S socialism is the root of all evil and laissez-faire capitalism will fix everything, that you only get one ISP to choose from and you can choose to like it or lump it.
tells you how many calories you've burned, lets you know how much fuel you have left in the tank,
If you live in pretty much any Western country, you have not burned enough calories and you've got way more than you need left in the tank.
Stop dicking about with gadgets and get back on that bike. Seriously, it's a lovely day outside and you need to pedal off all that overprocessed greasy food.
By then the magic carbon pixie believers will be back round to global cooling again, and climate change will be making it so cold we'll have to grow potatoes in greenhouses.
I've never liked KDE, even going right back to the late 90s. I don't really know why, it just doesn't really work for me. One thing that annoys me is that every single control panel seems to have a million fiddly little controls for stuff you never really want or need to touch.
Currently? About twelve windows open. Many of them are multi-tabbed terminals, one is a browser, four are evince (please please can we have a tabbed evince?) and a bunch of other stuff.
I like Unity's alt-tab behaviour, and now find XFCE confusing and clunky when I boot into Ubuntu Studio.
If it takes a few hideous and painful deaths to get people to stop leaving potentially dangerous things around, and to teach their children not to eat random things, then it's a price well worth paying.
Just to make matters worse, not only does the US pay twice as much in terms of percentage of GDP as the UK for healthcare, the life expectancy in the US is drastically shorter.
I refer you to my previous question. Outside the closed ecosystem of the iPad, Android is the only game in town. I can't see manufacturers rushing to pay a fortune to Microsoft so they can make their product worse.
What a weird mixture of units you're using there! So, where's the exceptional bit in these numbers? That guy is a bit taller than me, not quite as heavy, sounds like he can't lift as much but is distinctly faster in a sprint (but I do wonder how he'd cope with a lengthy bike ride, or even a day's walking).
He'd be dead in the first ten minutes in a shinty match.
But the word "holiday" is exclusive, then, because it comes from "holy day". So, instead of calling it "Christmas", why not call it "xyzzy"? Oh, but then that might offend people who don't like Colossal Cave.
Are you ever going to run out of people you want to avoid offending? At what point do you declare that you no longer care?
Sorry, I thought you might have figured out that I was using rhetoric and didn't actually expect you to leave the country.
My point still stands - if you live in a why should the majority have to change something perfectly reasonable, because a tiny whiny minority don't like it?
Oh, is that what it is? I thought it was the Teletubbies. All I could see was a bunch of guys in fat suits waddling up and down until one of them falls over and starts to cry, and then the others run up and give him a hug.
That looks like a pretty weaksauce "sport", to be honest.
I'm an agnostic. I don't particularly care for any of the religions. However, in this country, and in the language we speak, that particularl holiday is called "Christmas". I believe it's the same in the US, too. Honestly, do you really think that most people care about the religious aspect of it?
If you're offended by the culture and customs in my country, maybe you should go back to your own. Isn't that what people tell the Muslims? Why should it be different for anyone else?
It's a name. In what way does giving something a name make it exclusionary? I don't believe in Christianity, as it happens, but I still call Christmas Christmas.
Nah, they'll run just fine. If you've got that much water in your tank, chuck a gallon of meths in to dry it up - it won't get rid of the water but dissolving alcohol in it will help spread it around.
Oh, and crucially, they'll run a hell of a lot better than they do on no fuel at all.
Diesel just doesn't go off at all. It will last indefinitely as long as you don't let it soak up water - and even then the dewatering bowl in the fuel filter will sort that out. Also, conventional diesel engines (ie. not common-rail) will run on anything oily that's thin enough to go through the injectors - diesel, paraffin, veg oil, hydraulic oil, brake fluid, just about anything.
Same in the UK, but in this case you can quite clearly see a guy standing there filming.
Frankly I think it's a little weird, but if someone is sufficiently interested in watching me scratch my backside and and play with my phone then I'm not going to stop them. It's their own time they're wasting.

That's why you learn not to leave hazardous things lying around.

It's rarely worth replying to ACs, but here goes...
The Tesla Roadster needs the gearbox oil changed at every service. It's right there in the workshop manual.
The Nissan Leaf needs its gearbox oil changed every service interval. Again, right there in the service manual.
I'm sure all the other electric cars on the market are the same, but I'm just going by the manuals I have to hand.
Electric cars don't use oil because there are no moving parts
... and the gearboxes are lubricated with unicorn tears, while the hydraulic systems use dragon's blood because of the higher boiling point.

I guarantee teletubby guy cannot carry 70kg of equipment up 24 flights of stairs. Well, maybe he can, but I bet he'd have to stop a few times.

So where exactly do you think these machines with "locked" bootloaders are going to come from?

Do you realize the NFL is on TV right now?
