Meh, I lived near a bombing range for over half of my life. I'm pretty sure a wind farm a mile from my house won't make more noise than constant B-2s and F-16s flying overhead. As for bird kills, birds die. *shrugs*
I've been running my own mail server for a year or two now, the only places I've had reject my mail have been small businesses/organizations that have more restrictive policies. I haven't been flagged as spam on outlook.com, gmail, or yahoo mail and even my workplace's server has accepted them. Perhaps this person got flagged early on as a spam source and didn't realize it?
In Kansas? Not the Taxi companies. You've got to remember, Kansas doesn't have much in the way of "cities", so the taxi companies are actually much poorer than Uber. It adds costs and complexity to their operations as well. Personally, I have no issue with this law. Professional drivers should have stricter insurance requirements than non-professionals. Remember, all it takes to be a professional is being payed for the action. That means Uber drivers are professional, whether they want to call them that is irrelevant. There needs to be some kind of assurance behind these random people carting around. (Besides, Brownback vetoed the bill, so it can't be too bad)
If Tim Cook were to say he disapproves of gay marriage, would the Apple board of directors fire him? I honestly don't know. What I do know is, if he was fired, it wouldn't be because the board members personal beliefs. In fact, I'd bet some of the board members that pressured Eich to resign agreed with his stance. The fact of the matter is, having him as the face and head of the organization was costing them money. You can argue whether or not the boycott was right, but you would've made the same decision if you were on that board.
So, would Apple fire Tim Cook if he said he was against gay marriage? I can't say for sure, but given Apple's userbase, I bet the answer would be yes.
The government saying that you can not publish something is censorship.
You must be working from a different dictionary than me. Censorship is when something is deleted or hidden from view. There is no requirement on who is the one doing it. If I decide not to say "fuck" in this post and replace it with "fudge", that's self censoring. If a newspaper removes the word "fuck" from a letter to the editor, the newspaper is censoring. If Google hides all adult content from view, Google is censoring. If the Government tells a newspaper they can't run an article critical of it, the Government is censoring. Only one of these things is illegal. Just because Google is censoring adult themed websites doesn't make it wrong or illegal. You can't decide that a word means less than it does just because you don't like the connotations.
Alternatively; "Here is how Google royally screwed up writing their OS so that updating even relatively minor parts requires a full OS upgrade while Apple and Microsoft seem to have figured out how patching works."
I disagree. Microsoft not supporting XP and Google not supporting 4.3 are two completely different things. 4.3, despite being two major versions ago was released less than two years ago. If Microsoft or Apple stopped supporting an OS version after less than two years, there would hell to pay. Why does Google get a pass just because they have a fast versioning scheme?
In rural areas in the US, there is no such thing as a local council. Roads are usually built and maintained by counties or townships, neither of which have much funds or interest for paving. Additionally, that section of land could be entirely private property. In my state a "block" on rural road is a mile square. If it's the same in the state his coworker lives in, and that "road" of theirs is within that "block", then it is a private drive and falls to the landowners to maintain.
Yep, they sure can. But if they try to use Japanese laws against American news organizations, the American companies can tell the Japanese courts to go to hell, which would bring the ball back to SCOTUS.
This is a scientific definition of life, so why the hell would we use the colloquial definitions of the other terms? They don't give a shit what you think the definition of movement is, so long as they are using the consistent, agreed upon definition.
I disagree. In order to be accurate you need to "censor" speech. Wikipedia has positioned itself as a reliable source of information. Even with a moderation system similar to slashtot's, the user would have no way to verify what speech on Wikipedia is accurate and it would quickly become useless. It works on slashdot because we realize that the user comments are just that, comments and we don't take them for accurate information. That system breaks completely in an encyclopedia replacement where errors and misinformation needs to be kept to a minimum.
1. Nobody said he was a linux user. In fact, judging from a 5-second reading of his post history, it looks like he's a Windows fan. 2. This is not an apt analogue. It doesn't do dependency management, otherwise known as the main thing people like about apt. All this is, is a way to download and run the installer with a single command. The packages downloaded from this can still shit all over your system. 3. Who's controlling the main repository? Is is Microsoft? Because if it is, they haven't had a very good record of keeping the Windows store clean.
Yep, totally not ignoring the last sentence of his post at all. But you're right, after a few time going up the same stairs, you know how many calories it takes. Here's the thing though, fitness is all about habit. If the FitBit is helping him to build new healthy habits through information, I'd call that a win. Wouldn't you? Perhaps he won't need it down the road, but that doesn't mean it's not useful now.
True, but that's not the situation I'm dealing with on a daily basis. Most of the time, I deal with semis that go inconsistent slow speeds on a two lane highway. That gets worse if it's windy out, as it frequently is. I run greater risks if i stay behind the semi or pass it at the speed limit than if i just speed up and blow by it as quickly as possible. That's where I need to be above the speed limit.

Hahahahahaha no...

Fair enough, but answer me this one question. Are you a chatbot that ran into a conspiracy site and went nuts?
Sad part is, that was actually more coherent than the original.
Because kernel.org=/=The Linux Foundation?
Apparently -f is to skip fsck on reboot. Not quite what I expected.
Fair (and depressing) point.
Honestly, using SorceForge right now is kind of like using Download.com. Sure, you might not get something nasty, but why take the chance?

Real world example time.

There were already holes in mine from 35. It did, however, ask for more after I updated.

Why the hell would you hand a cop your wallet when all they need is your license?

Everybody knows what the Pyramids are. The fact that you had to explain who Jonah was tells me the Pyramids are somewhat more iconic.
