Fantastic work of the import script, now I have 10000 folders in thunderbird with helpful names like 1277709858.8193.bHGk2:2,S. And BTW, they are all empty. I'm sure there's some kind of snappy comment to be made, but I'm not sure which.
Same here, but there's no way to export the email store from kmail and I could find no email software that could import a kmail email store, so I'm stuck. I migrated to thunderbird on my work PC as well, foregoing my entire store. But on my personal system, I'll be damn if I let go of my emails that date from 1986 and went through decades of Pine, Outlook Express and kmail. Fuck kmail2.
I already hate the fact that aliasing is forced on us in all major OSes nowadays and really miss the sharp chars of WinXP, so I don't want readability to suffer even more. But I understand what you mean. I prefer to use a nice PS1 in.bashrc such as (warning, I doubt it's gonna pass easily through the bowels of/.):
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]
I hope they fixed the absolute disaster that is kmail2. Which was a forced upgrade in the last kubuntu. Never seen such a complete disaster in software, and I've tried to upgrade several systems taking all appropriate measures.
It didn't prohibit worship. It pulled the plug on public funding of Shinto. It eliminated any political power wielded by religious figures. Separation of church and state was forcibly imposed on Japan. It worked.
Very similar to the way catolicism was taken down at the french revolution: confiscation of church properties (the churches and their land now belong to the cities and are loaned to the priests), it was made illegal for the clergy to get into politics and a few other things. It worked.
When I worked in the US a decade ago I had a colleague who drank a gallon of coke for breakfast. She came in the morning with what, to me, was a bucket with a handle, full of ice and coke, way bigger than her head. It usually took her 2 to 3 hours to finish it. Since it was a bit too heavy to lift confortably, she would rest it on her bulging stomach (as some kind of self-fulfilling feedback loop I guess) while sitting in her chair, then lean back in the chair and drink. It was like watching some weird feeding ritual in a zoo.
Actually, we already have AIDS, don't we? The Nordic race could end up ruling the world, if this stuff spreads and CCR5-delta 32 turns out to work the way we think it works.
If by ruling, you mean the 5~10% of the nordic population who possess this allele, then yes, I guess.
There is no such thing, and won't be for quite a while. It's pure science fiction. Simply because 'racially' different people are sometimes genetically indistinguishable. Case in point: jews and arabs.
Bad example. Rome was actually VERY tolerant. All a conquered country had to do was pay taxes and accept some god equivalency: Jupiter=Zeus=Taranis=... Only two fought the religious equivalency principle: the Jews, which got splattered all over Europe for their efforts, and the Christians which managed to undermine the Roman State enough to finally conquer it from within. And then eliminate all the others. Politics at its finest. Yeah, it always make me laugh (kinda) when I hear that Christianity is 'tolerant'.
I continue to completely fail to understand why the UK government thinks that operating a website from the UK, hosted in the UK, run by someone in the UK should come under US law and be a cause for extradition.
Yeah, what if Saudy Arabia asks for extradition of all the pornsite owners... Gonna need some extra airplanes.
The make it 40k a year, with the possibility to spread it over 5 years if you hit the bingo. And that's how it works here in France for 'normal' workers (I have no idea for artists).
Sorry, U2 isn't an option - they've already moved their publishing business to the Netherlands, after the Irish government capped the tax exemption on artists at a mere €250,000.
Err, I don't know the full story, but is there a tax exemption on programmers ? Potato growers ? Brewers ? Slutty fat chicks ? WTF, does being an 'artist' make you above the tax code now ?!? That's a hell of a superpower.
That cap seems absolutely fine to me. Even at 25000 it would be fine. Actually I think 0 is the better number.
Sounds like you need a US Code Repository, with bills published as changesets, but retaining the ability to pull a complete version of the legal framework that is actually in use.
I really wonder why this hasn't been done years ago. Some svn+wiki could be hacked easily, with the whole changelog, the name of the senators/governors who voted on it and links to law cases that applied it.
Aurora occur in rings centered on the magnetic poles
Sorry, but that is not correct. Auroras occur in rings centered on the geomagnetic poles, which are more or less between the geographic pole and the magnetic pole. Look at the small map I did here to explain the choice of Dome C for astronomy: it's smack near the geomagnetic pole, meaning we hardly ever see auroras down there... C:-(
The geomagnetic pole, located somewhat between the magnetic and geographic pole, is harder to define. The Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that extends far away in space and protects us from the solar radiations. This layer converges on the Earth at the geomagnetic poles. You can also consider it as the true axis of the 'magnet Earth' (the dipole equivalent). It is approximately 1200 kilometers from the south pole, close to Vostok Station (roughly halfway between geographic and magnetic pole). The maximum amount of auroras tend to happen on a 1000km radius circle centered on this pole.
I agree with the Canuck, the extreme cold changes everything. I have worked (or tried to anyway) at -78C (!!!). I'll add some other examples:
Most plastics become hard and brittle. The soles of the shoes (huge boots designed for the cold) would break if you jumped on something hard.
Normal electrical cabling turns to raw spaghetti and breaks to the touch.
Teflon electric cables, which don't break, don't conduct electricity properly anymore because their dielectric properties change ! After 1km you get half the voltage (~100V) you got at -40C.
Mechanical equipment break in unexpected places.
Your nose hair freeze all the way down your throat when you breath in.
You glasses cover in solid fog in less than a minute
You eyes freeze open if you don't wear glasses
Boiling tea in a 1L thermos freezes in less time than it takes you to reach your destination... Etc...
There's no ice on the ground in Antarctica as soon as you move away from the shore: only snow. And it's either mushy snow in some areas near the shore (~100km) or crusty snow with continuous sastruggi. Which lead me to say that their wheels are way too small. Even with boots with soles of the same surface area as their tires I was breaking the crust. We'll see how it goes, I wish them all the best in this great but unforgiving land, but I wouldn't bet on them.
If every work ever created by any organization that received government grants was public domain, nobody would ever take a government grant.
If all the assholes whose primary interest is money went into banking instead of research or medecine, those fields would be all the better for it. And yes, I'm dead serious. I studied engineering in France, where everybody wants to do an MS in engineering because it's the best and quickest way to a good salary, no matter what you do afterwards. I don't remember the statistics, but only about one student in 5 kept at engineering afterwards, all the others going into management, banking, and whatever the fuck else. The problem is that they never had any interest in engineering in the 1st place, taking the spots of people who weren't as bright as themselves but who would have made better engineer, simply because they would have _wanted_ to be engineers.
Soon we can turn Antarctica into a useful human settle-able land with farming and cities. Maybe Al Gore Warming isn't so bad.
Well, even if you melt off all the ice, there isn't actually all that much _land_ that is above sea level hidden under Antarctica. Because of the weight of the ice, most of the continent is under sea level. Once you melt the ice, it will slowly rise, like Canada is currently doing after the northern ice sheet melted at the end of the last glaciation. It's called an isostatic rebound, but I wouldn't buy land down there yet.

There will be an immediate and HUGE problem of folks modding their cars to allow manual override. That should be fun.
That's a feature, not a bug.

Whoah. Just as bad as flat earthers, but not even as good a troll.
Yeah, the movie Strange Days was science-fiction, but it's continous police presence and megaphone security messages now seem like a documentary.
And one good way to tell is the use of wrong metrics: 100 and 150 US$/kW doesn't mean shit. The cost per Joule (or kW.h) would be useful.
