Or you can just give slashdot your gmail address as magic.maverick+slashdot.org@gmail.com and then make a filter based on that; assuming you don't really want to run a mail server.
i.e. assuming magic.maverick@gmail.com is your email address, you can add +whatever after your username and it goes to the same email address, but then you have a different TO: to filter on.
Duplication; High performance batteries are expensive. There would have to be multiple batteries in multiple places to support one vehicle. There would be tens of thousands of dollars in batteries sitting waiting to be used. Someone would have to pay for that.
Mostly I agree, but I think you're almost exactly wrong on this point.
You need "charging time" x "vehicles per charging time" batteries, per station. There's still some duplication, and that point is still valid, but that's entirely the point of battery replacement stations; you pay some amount of money over and above the cost of charging the battery so that you can swap out the battery instead of waiting for the charge.
I think would almost entirely be reflected in not even buying the original battery; as you said, if you did why would you want to replace it with some old junk at the first charge.
Australian education is freeish up to and including High School. Uni you have to pay for, later, at a much reduced rate to US university education, and it should still be avoided by a lot of people; we don't need most of the arts graduates.
Medical is freeish other the the medicare levy on those that can pay. It's still insurance, but at least 1.5% is better than the kind of cost US insurance is.
As for the free speech, yeah, nothing on Crikey's list gives me great concern. There's no Deep Throat and Woodward and Bernstein being silenced on that list. And if limited speech is the price I have to pay so that fuckstains like the Westboro Baptist Church could never happen here, than I'm more than happy with the trade off.
Well sure I have. But, on the other hand, one illegal copy is made for personal use, one is made for commercial gain. I think, generally, in the eyes of the law, the later is more serious, isn't it?
You know, like how manslaughter during a robbery is a capital crime, but drunkenly running down half a dozen children in your car is few months in prison.
So fork GIMP and call it something else. If the name is the only thing stopping corporates from putting money into it so they can break Adobe's monopoly, that would seem to be easily solved.
The larger argument about "consistency", as if corporate software is consistent in quality, is just too ridiculous to even argue.
Yeah, no. If you're going to be holier-than-thou, you need to actually be holier. Just because American politicians can campaign on family values then take their mistress on a shagging holiday, then still get re-elected after a contrite "sorry I got caught", doesn't make it less hypocritical.
Besides, two wrongs don't make a right, that's just your straw man.
It's what you call an example, and if you were a tech you'd have a lot of examples where you use 'all programs'. Like running WinSCP for the one or two times a year you use it, it's not going to be pinned anywhere.
As for supporting ios, android, OSX, no one does. ios and android are the user's problem, OSX is either the users problem or a trip to the "genius" bar. There's some exceptions on OSX for unis, but there's no 'corporate best practice' for toys.
Linux distros you ssh in, and the users are either too savvy to need support, or never touch anything ever, and aren't allowed to. Plus, linux desktops are also statistically non-existant.
That's the last of your straw man trolling I'm going to bother with, it's entertaining for a while but only so much.
Yeah, just that easy... or not, actually incredibly tedious and starts in a hidden folder with a horrible navigation system for what you're trying to accomplish.
Or they could have left the existing well known system in place, given as you point out ALL the data is still there anyway, and added a new layer for those devices that need a touch friendly option.
Alternatively, they could remove the feature for no reason other than consistency with devices that statistically no one owns and hope that wierdos like yourself convince their pissed off customers that they're wrong. That always works.
Photoshop? (or one of a few Adobe programs all under the Adobe folder) Irfanview? ACDSee? Gimp? Paintshop? What _exactly_ am I searching for given I have to know the name first?
You're not a tech, or you wouldn't be asking this series of stupid ass questions.
Yes, your contention that you can put them where you want is the "arrive at 6am so you get the same place every day" equivalent in my analogy. That doesn't help the tech that has to find them, they're not you. They're not "random" in the sense that they're shuffled every time you open the start menu, but they are random in the same way that you can't always immediately find the cups in an unfamiliar kitched, or be sure that's all the cups and not just the "good china", etc.
As to what they're doing. They're trying to help someone do something they don't do often, otherwise they wouldn't need help, so odds are it's not pinned anywhere. They have to find it. What they have to find might be any one of 100 different programs that do similar functions, so they don't know what it's called so they can't just type the name in search, but it's readily apparent from the old all programs what you have installed and it's in a standard order and established companies have established places they put all their crap.
For tech support and "old hands" it's like you used to have a reserved parking spot outside the building, so you knew where you were going to park every morning, and didn't have to "remember" where you car is parked in the afternoon.
And now, you have to park in the multistory next door, where there's a valet that parks your car and returns the keys in the morning, but no valet in the afternoon. So you can get almost the same parking spot every day by getting in super early, or you get a random spot and have to play hunt the car every afternoon.
i.e. the arbitrary sorting/grouping helps no one but people that never need tech support and enjoy faffing with the icons on their iphone all day. Mac users perhaps?

This, perhaps I shall post some photos of the "empty on a Friday at lunchtime" Apple store here.
Hahahahaha, you mean scanning the paper version and stuffing it into a .mobi file after some dodgy OCR?
A lot of the legitimate ebooks I've seen should be returned as unfit for purpose.
Month/Year, not day.*
* Except in cases where there is day/month/year.
What cases? I've seen a lot of these plates, US, Japan, Europe, Australia, and never seen one that has more than month/year.
Month/Year, not day.
Besides, a factory might produce 300 cars a day, but it's an assembly line, it takes something like 3 days to get from one end to the other.
I know, right. I don't think the OP has a good handle on either "suffer" or "stupid".
No no, some worthless app that no one cares about looks MUCH better on an iPad than in the abandonware Android version. This proves they ALL look bad.

Hell yeah, I'd use this change as an excuse to "panic brake" on yellow and encourage less tailgating ;)
The only reason there is unemployment at all, is because of bad laws.

Say you need to adjust an image.

Irfanview?
ACDSee?
Gimp?
Paintshop?

Is that established fact or conjecture? Oh, and it's "a lot".
Yeah, I hope my daughters can turn out to be disease ridden whores, but you know, rich. That's the important part.
Yeah, cause IPv6 addresses are written, a lot, they're not just allocated by one computer to another.
Nope, I want you to keep going like you are until the poor eat the rich. It's going to be fun to watch.
