Finding that vinyl makes for a (subjectively) qualitative better listening experience than CDs; does not, and never will qualify anyone as insane.
Except it's never couched that way by an audiophile. They make wild claims about the math, the curves, compression, and then talk about their blind A-B tests where they swear they can tell the difference between one bajilion kHz and fifteen sisquintillion kHz. They hear the pops and hiss and say, "Oh, oh! This one sounds warmer."
There is also a psychological factor. In NK, the Kim dynasty is deified. In all aspects of North Korean life, the leader is worshiped as a god, with all the attribution of miracles that entails. To mock him openly is to challenge his deity. The point is not to convince North Koreans, but to introduce cognitive dissonance into their worship, thereby undermining Kim's absolute authority. The beauty of it is that no one even has to watch it; the very existence of the movie, and the average North Koreans knowledge of it, is sufficient to this task.
Unused variables are warnings and not errors because their use is detected only heuristically and not conclusively. I'm not saying that's the case in the Linux kernel; only that it's a possibility.
You're conflating the Geneva Conventions (wartime rules for handling prisoners and wounded) with the Hague Conventions (rules for conduct with weapons of war). The Hague Conventions do have an addendum called the Geneva Protocol, but it only deals with chemical and biological weapons.
The difference is that in America, the graft and corruption is largely democratized; everyone gets a cut. Lobbyists get money for their projects, senators get projects for their state, and the state gets jobs associated with the project. Now, it's still crooked as all hell, but as far as oligarchies go it could be worse.
Everyone has the right to mock, and everyone has the right to be offended. Some mocking is silly, and some offense-taking is silly. As a dispassionate third party observer, I'm having a hard time deciding why I should care about this episode.
But still, never forgiving him for Pluto. Next time pick on a planet big enough to fight back, tough guy.
Maximizing our coal acquisition is how we keep the Nice-list countries energy dependent on us. Santa is merely a pawn in our quest for global domination.
I have long believed that the Santa Tracker was a fraudulent government operation. I really began to suspect the conspiracy when I grew out of childhood; about when I got my first college apartment. I noticed that not only did Santa not visit on Christmas Eve (despite a number of sting operations with video cameras), but that NORAD's Santa Tracker had him placed right over my area while these non-visits occurred. I don't know what to believe anymore. I don't really think it's Santa delivering those presents anymore; he's just outsourcing to my parents via UPS. Everything is tainted by corporatism now.
And in cases where officers do show appropriate restraint, these cameras will prove exculpatory. Police officers should want these. If Darren Wilson was innocent, such a camera would have prevented local riots and a national headache.

I'm also not dropping a couple hundred dollars on getting wooden knobs or golden cables either.
I bet you didn't get boutique magnetic cable lifts either, you cultural barbarian.
I suggest that your understanding of the history of slavery in the US is very confused.

It's a load of rubbish.
If you'd seen MY code, you wouldn't be mocking.

While non-proprietary software might be imperfect at least the end-user isn't restricted from fixing bugs when they occur.
The average Linux user does not fix his own kernel bugs. End-users are restricted, if not by closure, then by competence and knowledge.
When he said "R300million" I assumed it was South African rand.
You got me! I don't even speak French.
If I was a Sleestak alien overlord, that's exactly what I would say.
A heat gun also requires you to have a heat gun. An oven requires you to have a kitchen.
Nonsense. Think of how quickly you can get rid of excess apps and unwanted background processes: just stick it in the oven and select "CLEAN." Viola!

Is anyone with significant amounts of data not caching their frequently accessed data on SSD?
*looks around*
*sheepishly half-raises hand*
Centuries behind us, you mean? What you're describing was more or less standard in the USA in the last half of the nineteenth century.
Think of it cyclically; the past is the future, as it ever was.
What do you think they talk about there?
Definitely not Tienanmen Square. Or anything else blocked by the Great Firewall.

I prefer China's overt censorship to the US version
I invite you to move to China and try making a statement like this, and see what happens.
China's politics and economy are more dynamic than the US one.
They're simply years ahead of us in greed, graft, and crony capitalism.
Every depiction of Saint Nikolaos of Myra I've seen has him in red or burgundy. Where does the green come in?

Sensationalism sells, and nothing is sensational like the end of the world. Ergo, all news is about the end of the world.
Wait until China's property bubble bursts. It's happening and it ain't gonna be pretty for anyone (us included).
