If there's ever anything like it for Linux, I would be all over it.
Parsec has revived. No idea how far along its come (it was dead for 9 years and the current feature list touts IPX networking) and no idea how close to freelancer it'll get, but maybe it'll get there.
I did the Wing Commander -> Privateer -> Freelancer sequence too. I'll throw in a few bucks for this too.
That's too hard to refute. You've got to at least print the boxes to cross on the opposite side of the page with each box printed a half line below the name of the candidate with rules lawyers spending weeks deciding whether crosses are x shaped or + shaped and whether the lines have to meet at 90 degrees in order to count and whether a cross that doesn't extend to the edges of the circle counts as a vote or if they extend past the edge of the circle is it a spoiled vote and so on. Otherwise, what would the loser get to scream about?
I've advocated for voting systems like the kind Nadaka proposed many times in the past. There are excellent reasons to use electronic voting (eg magnification and/or verbal prompts for the hard of seeing) but these reasons are not why we're using electronic ballots so calls for a better system fall on deaf ears.
It will not ever happen at the federal level simply because you need to change the constitution in order for it to happen
Actually, it wouldn't.
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof
There's even less in the Constitution about how the president is elected, only that the electoral college makes the decision. The states get to decide how the electoral college is chosen, and Maine and Nebraska have already chosen to use something other than a winner-take-all system.
X had half of a solution to this decades ago. It's called the Viewport. Remember back when you scrolled around your 1600x1280 desktop on your 800x600 monitor? Rather than simply changing the resolution of the display and saying fuck everything else that's running, the operation should be to set the viewport to the current resolution, then lock it to prevent it from scrolling away from the origin. Then you can decrease the display resolution without fucking up the desktop.
The other half, if you want to have an 800x600 desktop and game at 3200x5000 or something ridiculous, that's left as an exercise to the reader.
tl;dr: When a doctor says "I have to run these tests or else I'll be sued if I miss something!" what they really mean is "I get $50 for each test I order. Ka-CHING!!" Yeah, Texas's doctors' malpractice insurance premiums went way down. What did they do with the savings? They bought X-Ray machines and other testing equipment so they could run MORE tests.
The two domains in question probably really were used in spam
Used TO spam or used IN spam? That's what's been confusing me about the whole exchange. You could proxy to gmail.com and send spam but it'd still be a gmail.com address.
So beating the shit out of someone for no reason should be considered acceptable by society. I like this reasoning.
Only if you're smacking yourself in the face, which I'd love to see you do. Take one in the nads, while you're at it.
Or are you talking about two different people, one standing around and one throwing a punch, because there's only one person selling fucking, so it's not the same thing.
so 'food truck laws' are mostly the same as 'food establishment laws'.
Around here the food trucks complained about having to obey the "establishment" laws on grill temperature and working area around the grill and stuff so they got special rules.
Now they complain about not being allowed to park in streets and clog up traffic.
Of course its not just them, there's also whiney busybodies (probably the establishments) complaining about their use of lots they bought for parking.
Their handlers are salivating at the thought of getting those powers back.
For instance, the Texas Republican Party Platform document stated that they should make bill of rights cases un-appealable to the Supreme Court by using Congress's control over jurisdiction of courts to make violations of the Bill of Rights outside of the Supreme Court's jurisdiction. (All that bullshit about "critical thinking skills" or whatever was a huge fucking snowjob and the liberals bought into it hook line and stinker.) Why? Because they expect that they'll be in power and won't have to worry about minority liberals taking away Second Amendment rights, and they'll be free to infringe on any rights they feel like.

What language can't be improved with the liberal application of parentheses?
I find it is a good time to point out that an email message that is not encrypted is roughly as secure in transit as a postcard
Thats ok, I've been steaming open your envelopes. You really ought to look into mail encryption.

When U.S. Postal Service (however they were called back then)
The Constitution calls it "Post Offices and Post Roads".
Why have a unique key on email field when not having it makes the checks so much "better"? :)
A unique key for emails like 'AnonymousCoward@example.org', 'ANONYMOUSCOWARD@EXAMPLE.ORG', 'aNoNyMoUsCoWaRd@eXaMpLe.OrG'?
Mayhaps you mean a unique key on upper(email field).
People don't wait around to be promoted - instead, they hop from job to job, earning small title and salary increases each time.
Man, where have I seen that before?
But... but.. it's thousands of records! THOUSANDS!

Even frozen, no more than a year. Eat them before then, certainly before 5 years go by. Otherwise you might get sick.
That's why I keep my blessed tinning kit handy.
Here's a question: why does copying the images involve looking at them? Any other OS you'd get a progress bar.
There is more than one surgeon in the world.
Well, next time I'm unconscious and bleeding out, I'll be sure to ask for one that won't charge too much.

What else are you doing on your computer while you play that game?
Alt-tabbing to gamefaqs, at least on games where that's not a one-way trip.
was that you could add a positive number to the score of an email in a weighting system if things checked out
If things don't check out, I have spamassassin assign -4 (out of -5 to be spam). If things check out it gets +0.
Keep repeating it, maybe it'll turn true someday. While you wait for that day to come, read about how the state with the harshest anti-tort rules still has expensive healthcare (in McAllen, TX, healthcare spending per capita was higher than income per capita at the time of the article).

I can foresee absolutely no such problem whatsoever in getting into my autocar and instructing it to take me to the nearest crack den.

The local phone company here didn't know when I had a modem connected to a phone line, and when I was talking on it.
They didn't know I didn't have a daughter, either.
