There is evolution-data-server, which is a data storage backend shared by many applications and applets that wish to have access to the common email/PIM data store. I usually remove the Evolution app to wipe it from the visible places like application menus, and leave e-d-s dangling there uselessly.
I'll grant you that. I guess I never had a need to present myself as a masked nobody and call it a profile. The main reason of using social networking services for me are my real-life contacts.
Looks like you didn't have a chance to try Google+. For nearly every bit of your profile information there, you can specify how widely it can be shared. I guess they want to migrate the now redundant functionality to their new shiny service.
Come to think about it, Circles in Google+ are simply Facebook Lists and Groups merged together in disguise. I get better permission granularity, get all the group chat features I want in Groups... am I simply not seeing the allure Google+ supposedly offers?
A web UI that's convenient and easy to use. Facebook's privacy settings for posting are buried too deep to be handy. Facebook lists are also a lot more tedious to set up; in Google+ you can assign people to circles easily from many places, including the notification that they have added you.
Might it be thermal shutdown? I had this issue after upgrading; apparently the new kernel does not play well with the (probably buggy) fan controller on some ThinkPads. After I blew the CPU fan slots through, it did not overheat any more.
It has "hubs" with Textual heading which might or might not make sense in non-Latin1 languages especially if some of the glyphs are cut off.
This assumes that Windows Phone l10n developers are hopeless dumbasses who don't check how their translated texts look on the screen. Have you actually seen a truncated label in WP7, or are you indeed making shit up?
I believe if these were used, the performance would have even better and left the rest "truly" in the dust...
Yes, it would do justice for the 10 people who can do it correctly. And used as an excuse by hordes of self-proclaimed C++ experts to write more bad, convoluted, poorly performing code.
1) Lousy analogy; 2) terrible choice. A pacemaker programmed by PhD nerd cowboys at Google? No thanks. Even for a phone, I prefer something that sends SMS to whom I meant to.
I guess you are already unhappy with your last year phone's features and want a completely new set of features 6 months from now. Other users... may just want a decently working smartphone with navigation and camera. And hey, except new apps, I haven't heard of any major leaps in functionality over the past year in the iOS land.
This is a delusion. Read up on Turkish Airlines Flight 1951. I mean, they programmed 737 to do what? Trust a single radio altimeter known to fail in the worst possible mode, producing false readings? Actually use these readings to automatically enter the landing flare mode with rather subtle indication to the pilots? Autothrottle reverting pilot's inputs? Sounds like scary automation to me.
The reality is, all modern commercial airliners are run by software. If you want an airliner run by pilots, go to Russia and fly some Tupolevs, there are still quite a few left (ehhehe).
My initial reaction was a bit different: where I grew up, classes were only cancelled when the temperature went below ~ -25 degrees Celsius. We had Snow Days for half the damned academic year.
Why, it can be done with some template classes, especially with variadic templates accepted into the standard this year. Except, the declaration syntax would be far more ugly, the compilation time would increase by orders of magnitude, and if you screw up, the error messages won't be much less arcane than what you get from moc-generated code.
We as in who? The "template metaprogramming" weenies who could not understand for a decade why C++ is a train wreck? Don't bother; "we" the practical developers creating real-world maintainable software don't need you on our projects.
You surely save a lot of CPU cycles on laying out 100k times per minute all those views and dialogs painstakingly hand-coded in C++. Or wait... may I suggest to optimize what really needs to be optimized, and enjoy the productivity boost in creating the rest, not to mention separation of tasks between UI design and application logic programming?
The GP probably should have written "I didn't like how pulseaudio was broken in Ubuntu..." Given that PA is largely written and maintained by a RedHat employee, Fedora should be a prime showcase for this daemon working as expected.
Really? Being a Russian national, I hear quite a few things on what our counter-terrorist forces do, good and bad alike. I never heard of purposeful desecration in the way you describe. Basically, they draw the line at "bury them in unmarked graves".
Perhaps your wife could provide some examples? All I could think of where the due credit may not have been given is kefir, but only because its production was industrialized outside Caucasus, and this wonderful dairy product has been widely consumed all over Russia (and Ukraine, and elsewhere) ever since.
With actors and such, it's even more nuanced. If a Georgian actor plays in Russian films or plays, is recognized by many Russians, sometimes taking a lasting place in the Russian culture, that makes them a Russian public person as well. If you disagree, ask Americans how dare they "take credit" for that Austrian guy called Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Yes, any such code (including text trimming) should work with graphemes, which consist of one or more characters, or, by substitution, a sequence of code units in the encoding. UTF-16 is no worse for this purpose, and may in fact work faster, than UTF-8. But for dealing with individual Unicode characters, such as classification or any algorithms specified to work on this type of input, Java only provides some inconvenient poorly typed APIs, added as an afterthought.
The biggest issue with this is, a Java char is not what it says on the tin since 2001. And no, many stock string methods promote bug-inducing behavior like that of substring, which millions of developers use to this day.
In this case, yes. Just like UTF-16, UTF-8 can encode any Unicode character up to 31 bits (U+7FFFFFFF).
Up to U+10FFFF, but still.
not being confused for UCS-2
This is probably the biggest advantage. There are untold amounts of n00b code that assumes one 16 bit character == Unicode character ('cause they were advertised this way when introduced, right?). With the multibyte encoding of UTF-8 everybody should be expected to trust what the pigeonhole principle tells them and use some iteration in terms of Unicode character code points.
here the authors specifically say that they want to kinda get to where Java would have been, if it were designed from scratch today rather than in early 1990s.
Um, then they would have it natively support the entire Unicode repertoire rather than remaining in the 16 bit trap that Java fell to along with other platforms of that time.

So cutting edge means "doing pretty much the same shit as everybody else, only with Android"? I knew it must be some subjective advantage.

Airbus is run by software. Boeing by pilots.

because whoever designs C++ lives on a little cloud-9
You could have put the period here. They are also oblivious about such bleeding edge innovations as shared libraries and standardized ABIs.

Then kill that performance with JS?

You've hit the nail on the head here, sentient being. We come in peace, and we bring you Planck units.
