I agree with you on that count, but the paleo diet is still flawed in that its fundamental premise - that at some point in the past mankind was somehow in sync with their environment, and their diet at that point was perfectly aligned with their nutritional needs.
This is apparently because our ancestors evolved to a stable state on one diet over a very long period of time.
This is a massive, and wrong, assumption. Humans were never in perfect harmony with their environment, even if such a condition is at all possible.
Well, yes. Do you think your company could survive if offered a contract orders of magnitude larger than you'd ever seen, re-tooled to accommodate that one massive order, and then not getting paid for it?
Slight over-simplification, yes, but fairly representative of what actually happened.
I would find that very cumbersome, as I use keyword search all the time for a number of websites.

I wouldn't tolerate having to wade through the front pages of Google, Wikipedia, imdb, YouTube, bugzilla and all the rest every time I wanted to look up something.
I thought that too, until I watched a couple of episodes of Jeopardy and realized it's just a regular question/answer game show with "[what|who] is" tossed in front of each answer.
It depends on which addon class you're talking about. Extensions are as you say interpreted JavaScript. Plug-ins, however, are compiled code and absolutely do not work the same under Linux as Windows.
Ever had a library fine? Ever had a court summons or bailiff come to sieze your property because of that fine? I doubt it. But: Ever tried to borrow a book with an outstanding fine?
I meant the case of using University bandwidth to download content for personal use, that could trigger a fine depending on the University's Internet use policies. The licence of the content in that case is irrelevant.
Mis-use of University resources is defined by the University, and it can quite easily include clauses regarding unauthorized downloading of copyrighted material, etc. I do agree with you there, and in that case the licence would be relevant.
You're right that binocular depth perception is just one of many cues, but your experiment will be tainted by cached binocular information. Recall that you can only actually see with any detail a tiny area represented by your fovea - the full image that you perceive is made up by moving your eyes over a scene and is of course aided by memories of what you expect certain elements to look like.
Here's another experiment:
Go to the same window but start out with one eye closed. Take note of what you see and try to judge how far away things are. After a minute, open the other eye and blink a couple of times.
You systemd haters are simply living in your own delusional world, undisturbed by the harsh realities: Don't do know that Debian systemd users now outnumber SysVinit users 3-1, even before Debian have released a stable systemd distro?
Where did you get that wee gem? Not popcon to be sure.
Some equipment didn't work, but the mission objective was still accomplished. The science data they set out to collect was still obtained. I call that a success.
By your logic, Apollo 11 was not a success because Armstrong had to resort to manual control when landing.
It took nearly a minute before I realised that this article is not in fact about electronically transmitting aspects of a certain popular confectionery.
I want my house to manage: How much water to use for washing dishes/clothes, and at what temperature (more a function of the individual appliances than the house really). Power sources (grid, solar, wind, gas), and when each should be used.
And that's about it. I really don't want my house trying to decide for me when my lights need turning on and off, or telling someone else about it.

You could replace "vinyl" with "CD" in that post and it would still be true today.
The movie explained that away by making it a supermassive black hole, where tidal forces are (supposedly!) much less.

That has to be the silliest statement I have read today.
And I spent much of this morning reading YouTube comments.

300+ posts here and no one has yet mentioned that Thunderbird has been using Microsoft(R) Bing(R) as its default search engine for some time now.
False.
Well, 50% false.

Both of those fit under the umbrella term addons.

But:
Ever tried to borrow a book with an outstanding fine?
Now do you see my point?

Are these fines actually for copyright infringement, or for mis-use of University resources? This is an important distinction.
I doubt the University could legally collect on the former, unless they also happen to be the copyright holder of the obtained content.
If the latter, then students downloading free content (eg material covered by a Creative Commons licence) for personal use should also be liable.
Oh, also Russ Allbery from the technical committee on 16 November.
In less than two weeks we have had three significant resignations:
8 Nov, Joey Hess, from Debian entirely
17 Nov, Tollef Fog Heen, from the systemd team
Today, Ian Jackson, from the technical committee
Openness is not bad.
Microsoft's track record is bad.
Having source code for more and more products is not bad.
Microsoft's track record is bad.
Embrace is good.
Microsoft's track record is bad.
Someone who questions Microsoft's motives is not an idiot.
Microsoft's track record is bad.
I think you might mean NT there...

Note the difference.
What if it is spinning on more than one axis, ie tumbling? The direction where the sun rises for a given point on the comet will change all the time.
I have no idea if the comet is actually doing this, but I imagine that being a scenario where computing "east" being rather difficult.

But... but the dark gloominess! And the grit! And the rapid camera zooms! And tribal percussion!
Heh, yes the writing did leave a lot to be desired, but at least the show was intended to be family-friendly, as in it could be watched by kids.
Entirely unlike the reboot.

Well, if you're concerned about security you shouldn't be putting stuff in "the cloud" to begin with
This.
