yepp, OT but i'll add my bit. when I was in Paris a few years ago, I was served my "well done" steak so raw it was still twitching. i returned it twice to have it cooked; to no avail. I then called the waiter again and while he and the chef were watching, I wrapped the steak in the tablecloth, squeezed and asked them to explain why the fabric was turning red. at that point half of the staff ganged up on me and tried to tell me I didn't understand what a good steak was. well, f*ck you very much - I decide what I like and blood dripping cold fibrous chewing gum ain't it! (especially at 30 Euro a piece)
I wasted 10 hours of my time downloading this game and the iso image didn't even have the crack!!! steer clear of the torrents until skidrow has a release.
wtf? how can you concentrate on anything other than this piece of information: "because the $80/month plan came with unlimited data"
i didn't even know tariffs could cost that much; especially in the land of the cheap. in some european markets it's normal to pay 10-15 Euro for unlimited data on a 1 month rolling contract and even less if you sign up for longer. and i do mean unlimited. my provider simply throttles the download speed to 512Kbps after 10GB.
Oh For F***s Sake, not this S**t again! Serves me right for finally succumbing to the cloudy temptation.
I refused to use any of the xxxxBoxes and AmazoGoogDrives that are so popular nowadays as I don't trust any of them. I held out until my wife installed "ubuntu one" on her phone last month and set it up so that whenever she took a picture on her phone the photo immediately appeared on my computer. Within a few days, my whole family started using it on their phones and computers.
Our mothers-in-law religiously check the albums on one.ubuntu.com every night too see all the new pictures of their grandchildren and now this! Never, I say, NEVER will I put my trust in these EEEEeeeeeevil clouds again!

i'll give you an example. i once came across a homeopathic product that I could reliably prove worked!
i used to get horrible rash every time i shaved. my dad's quack of a girlfriend gave me some kind of gemmo/homeo-therapeutic oil made from a shoot of a citrus tree diluted gazillion times and then mixed with olive oil to use on my face. it worked and we all lived happily ever after
until i showed her (a week later) that using plain olive oil was 50x cheaper and just as effective.
The thing is, even a simpleton like you can set up a sftp storage server in 30 seconds (apt-get -y install openssh-server; echo "all done, go have dinner").
Now try to set up a web server that accepts 'https post' from your application and knows what to do with it in less than 3 hours (That's how your favourite WhatEverNotePad does it).
i see you've also had to deal with this plague. stupid juniper switches are unable to work as ntp clients only. as soon as you configure ntp settings, they reply to client requests. a few weeks ago, i learned this the hard way when all my switches suddenly became overloaded and all my bfd sessions started flapping.
and yet you are one of those people. i often see comments about swimming on full stomach here (i'd say from people who either don't swim or eat). if you want to know why it's stupid, eat and drink until you're full, go to bed, lie down on your belly and wait for a burp to come. if you don't barf, you're not human. to better simulate swimming, you should have somebody shake you at the same time.
BTW, I swim for an hour 4 times a week and have seen this full stomach swimming way too often. when you see a person suddenly stop and stand up in the middle of a pool, they're either burping (if they're quick) or swallowing sick.
am i oblivious to something other people can see or is RedHat Inc a genuinely sympathetic company? i am simply unable to find anyting this company has done that would be even remotely evil, unfair or greedy.
as a debian user i am puzzled by why this monstrosity was chosen instead of something that adheres to the 'do one thing and do it well' philosophy. why are we slowly turning gnu/linux into windows?
Zawinski's law: Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.
i propose we include an email client functionality now and be done with this horrible one-thing-breaks-all thing.
i bought a dell machine for quality. i went for the expensive 'developer edition' 13 inch xps with ubuntu preinstalled and regretted it the day after it arrived. buzzing capacitors, sound card that cracks at 1000dB when it suspends or resumes (that's a few seconds after every single sound), really flimsy power connector that has no chance of lasting more than a few months and a touch screen that sometimes just doesn't work after a suspend.
this beta is the first usable slashdot design. i can finally clearly follow who replied to whom. search for a comment parent isn't a task for minutes. fuck alpha.
I don't think it's a trust thing, I believe it's to do with cost and danger self regulation. A car crash at 250 km/h doesn't need an ambulance, only a cleaning service and a token policeman to take a few photos. Also, it's like a sped up evolution: Idiots disappear rather quickly and permanently.
I for one, only pushed my car to its max once, got that urge out of my system and rarely exceeded 150 km/h after that.

they've got ReFS instead - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
libre/openoffice base can both be used as a frontend to a mysql database. i'm surprised so few people know about it.

i'm not sure they believe this in africa but this is most definitely common knowledge in india.

thank you for the link, those stories are rather fascinating.

Really? This you would pick? Rather than ANY Wesley Crusher centered episode?
it's an OIL. it fills pores and creates a protective layer until skin underneath heals. and it gets easily absorbed. nothing alternative there.
It's about as alternatve as drinking water to keep kidneys healthy.

so obviously, if we had fewer platform (hardware) choices, we'd have more OS (software) choices. :)
no, it isn't pathetic. what facebook bought was a large userbase. same goes for microsoft with skype, rakuten with viber, etc.

they should call it an earth scanner. i wonder if it does OCR.
