I always thought Spain would be in WET ? Maybe it's just is in the wrong time zone ? Why not take the opportunity and fix that too by switching from CET to WET and enjoy noon at midday ?
Btw: I just recently had the pleasure to try to fit the tzdata file into an embedded system with 1MB flash. I nearly went crazy sifting through the data. We couldn't do it anyway and had to settle for a compromise.
Every person that has to do with software has to encourage any attempt to get rid of DST switching. Look into the source files at https://www.iana.org/time-zone... and bee blown away.:-)
There is no proper way to dispose of highly radioactive nuclear waste. Only ways that are less dangerous than others, statistically speaking. What convinced you that the situation in Finland is significantly better than in, say, Germany?
Well, for one thing, they have no Germans.
Well, the Germans temporarily store the nasty stuff in abandoned salt mines while the people of finland to my knowledge are the only ones working on a long term solution: the Onkalo nuclear waste repository. There is a very beautiful documentary about this endeavor (building time >100 Years !). It's called: Towards the end of Time. Worth watching !
That might be because you don't have Ghostery installed. Btw. a really nice plugin to visualize all those background connections is Lightbeam: https://addons.mozilla.org/En-...
Baumgartner is (as the article says) Austrian, so is Red Bull...
Ah, and by the way. The guy who sued Red Bull for 'prior idea' (or whatever) is named Daniel Hogan. More infos here.
Same here. I've got eight IMAP accounts and most of them have all email of the past 8-15 years in them, that going into the xx thousands for some accounts.
BUT the first thing I did, was to turn off indexing - that would have killed my comp. It was impossible to use with indexing on.
Yeah, this whole 'base load' discussion is really getting annoying.
There are multiple new ideas to store the power generated by wind farms of which one of better ones (I think) is to store the energy in form of air that is pumped into huge bubbles under water.
When the power is needed, you open the bubble and let the air vent through a generator...
Other ideas involve generating 'artificial' methane gas. But that just reaches ~60% efficiency right now...
People are repeating the 'only works for base load' argument, the big energy providers have been spreading for years. Those companies are only afraid of de-centralized power generation which would mean the end to a *lot* of them ! (And that is a good thing !)
Nice idea, but even using an *open* AP can get you in a lot of troubles in some countries. - And I'm not even speaking about cracking a pwd for access...
Eclipse (PDT), Zend IDE and Netbeans can debug local and remotely. We're just evaluating our future PHP-IDE, so the article comes in handy.
The only thing missing: It seems that the Zend IDE is the only solution providing an easy to use profiling tool for PHP.
Well, they have a lot of money to devote to it since they don't have to spend ANY money on defense. If the USA took all of its money from defense and put it into Healthcare or "Green Tech," then yes, we'd be able to claim advances in those areas. But we can't, because we're the only Western World with a _real_ military and we use it to protect all of the other countries, and they know it. If America suddenly disassembled its Military, every other country would have to step up and pick up the slack to a have a force to send into every hotspot on the planet and to keep the other guys from attacking.
So you have already found the solution ! The only thing you didn't get right here ist that the rest of the world would actually do a LOT better without America's policy to play world-police.
I don't say that a little intervention here and there wouldn't be bad, it's only that the foreign wars that the US is fighting right now (and in the past) didn't exactly help anyone besides maybe Haliburton etc.;-)
True. But still: who gives a fuck after 50 years ?!?!? If greedy company X doesn't want to publish my stuff - what will it help me if they send me my demo tape from 1959 back ?
Which is plain wrong. - As the current law even states that of course the IP will be logged ! (The initial proposition of ~1 week ago didn't include that. They quickly 'fixed' that one.;-)
Yeah. That's what makes the whole system interesting. If the USD is subject to massive inflation, nearly all countries will loose but the US would win - because of it's massive dept.:-)
We're using old ~300MHz PCs with PXE and a few IGEL ThinClients (for â20 on Ebay) as clients. We're running *all* software on a central X11 Server (XFCE, Openoffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gajim...) The server is a XEN guest with 2 CPUs (3.2GHz) and 6GB RAM. It can easily support 60 (!!) simultaneous users. And for those few that can't live without Microsoft(TM) Office(R), we're running a Windows 2003 Server with terminal services using RDP. Works great !
Yeah. That one came out 1988. But the Epson made the HX-20 in 1981 and the TRS-80 100 was launched 1983. That's quite some time when we're talking about computers. Anyway - I've never used one but heard that the Z88 was very popular and could be very easily expanded. I'm actually thinking of getting a HX-20. - My Sharp PC-1261 is fun to program but the 'keyboard' is not made for typing.
I'd much rather have something resembling what would be an iRex or some other epaper device. Running Linux on an ARM CPU + Wifi, USB... the only thing missing is an ultra portable BT or USB keyboard and some solar cells on the back. When using the Wifi in an efficient way, you should be power independent for a couple of days - even without getting out and lying in the sun, together with your recharging gadget;-).

Permanent DST sucks for Spain in the winter.
Agreed. Permanent DST makes no sense.

No need to. Give TSclientX a try. It's way better than the Microsoft RDP clients and also supports different protocols, more options, etc.

But more important is the question: Can god microwave a burrito so hot that even he couldn't eat it?
That would SO never pass in the US.
True. But still: who gives a fuck after 50 years ?!?!? If greedy company X doesn't want to publish my stuff - what will it help me if they send me my demo tape from 1959 back ?

Thanks a LOT !
Just fell out of bed because of your comment.
ROFL

So true... nobody needs Citrix !

Works great !
One I really would like to add to this list:
watch 'command'
...and enable NAT.
Problem solved. :)
Yeah. That one came out 1988.
But the Epson made the HX-20 in 1981 and the TRS-80 100 was launched 1983. That's quite some time when we're talking about computers.

True. True.
'The later, more popular TRS-80 Model 100 line, designed by Kyocera, owed much to the design of the HX-20.' (From the HX-20 wikipedia page)
I'd much rather have something resembling what would be an iRex or some other epaper device. Running Linux on an ARM CPU + Wifi, USB... the only thing missing is an ultra portable BT or USB keyboard and some solar cells on the back. ;-).

And since we're talking about servers, that would be... correct !
