Europe is taking fucktons of refugees. Frankly I think SK and China could definitely handle lots of NK refugees. In the case of SK, they ever speak the same language and most of their history is shared.
... just grasping the nettle and invading North Korea? We seem to be just waiting for them to develop a viable nuclear ICBM. This is insane. Frankly it's worth a few 10,000s of deaths in Seoul. Not to sound too callous but in the long run reuniting Korea under Seoul rule will save WAY more lives and stabilize the region.
Yeah. The 2 main reasons I can't switch to Linux for my main box are Visual Studio and IIS - I use them in my line of work and will always be expected to run then in a Windows environment.
I also frankly prefer aspects of Windows 7's GUI over Linux. The double clipboard thing will NEVER be a good or intuative idea for those coming from Windows and Linux really needs to implement an option to easily disable it through configuration.
Which of course not so subtly implies there is a possibility that future updates will not be free of charge....
I sure hope so. Maybe then I won't have to actively install a control panel to stop them forcibly downloading crap to my hard drive and nagging me constantly to switch away from my perfectly good Windows 7.
So the one feature I'd love to see implemented is running interpret-trailers automatically on each commit. Git is nearly perfect for me but I would really love to be able to auto-tag the commit with trailers on each commit using settings in my global config. That way I could set it up to automatically tag the commit with the current branch name. It will probably get implemented some day...
No, it's a justification for breaking up the EU and reinstating border controls like we've had for the vast majority of history. Because there was a goddamn reason we had them.
Nah, I swore off wireless peripherals years ago when a workplace I was at used them and they were totally crap, interfering with each others' signal. And screw replacing batteries.
I've never understood why docking stations aren't absolutely everywhere. They are one of the biggest reasons I keep buying Dell latitude laptops. Docking stations is permanently plugged in with all my peripherals and a power supply and I just sit down to start work.
Well I agree but then I value 2 monitors, a proper keyboard and mouse, etc. It always amazes me how lots of people just get used to using the shitty keyboards and trackpads on laptops. If they're happy with that then I guess they don't see the need for a dock. They just need to plug the power in.

Yes there is such a thing as "unlimited".
Unlimited transfer per day = [line-speed-mbps] * 60 * 60 * 24
Right - Europe is far LESS able to absorb middle-eastern and african refugees, culturally, than China and SK would be able to absorb NK refugees!

But why is ultra-thin automatically good? Anorexia? Good?
How else are they going to get it as thin as a credit card?
I'm not even joking. Apple seem to have decided they must get their appliances as thin as a credit card. It's their hipster fashion or something.
Looney if you ask my. I have a 1cm think LG phone and I don't want thinner. I have a normal thickness Cherry keyboard and I don't want thinner.
Buy Apple, and you're basically supporting anorexia in the tech community.
Sorry, but what Linux compatibility layer? Can I use VS or IIS on Linux?
Yeah. The 2 main reasons I can't switch to Linux for my main box are Visual Studio and IIS - I use them in my line of work and will always be expected to run then in a Windows environment.
I also frankly prefer aspects of Windows 7's GUI over Linux. The double clipboard thing will NEVER be a good or intuative idea for those coming from Windows and Linux really needs to implement an option to easily disable it through configuration.
Good to see Slashdot finally take the leap to the digital age and do comment scores in binary!
It's the Jack The Ripper of operating systems.

Thanks, that's a really nice piece of software I'm gonna be running from now on!
Fuck you and your heavyhanded tactics Microsoft.
What's your alternative to NetworkManager? Manually configure every WiFi connection?
But commit hooks can only be done on a repository level. I'd like to do them on a global level.
Also I just think doing it in the global config is neater than setting up a hook. The hook is more code.

I'm running it now, it's called Windows 7.
The IRA's political aim, a united Ireland against a backdrop of centuries of English Protestant oppression, is laudable
LOL! Yeah right. Much better to be oppressed by the Roman Catholic Church.
Consider this: the IRA used to ring ahead of time to warn people to get out because they had planted a bomb there.
They wanted to scare people and blow shit up, sure. But they wanted to AVOID killing people (including themselves).
OK, so how does Japan survive without becoming a 3rd world country? How about Australia? Wouldn't their border controls cause chaos?
There was drastically less terrorism. I can't really think of any significant Europe terrorist attacks between WW2 and the late 90s.
No, it's a justification for breaking up the EU and reinstating border controls like we've had for the vast majority of history. Because there was a goddamn reason we had them.
More like a distinction without a difference.
but that's no big deal except that you will have to pay for it.
