What about learning C++ after knowing C# though? C# generally makes things a lot easier than C++, but the reverse is true when switching the other way.
My device (HTC Desire S) still only has "official" support for Cyanogenmod 7. Slightly out of date, I'd say. Actually, most devices aren't going to get CM10 for a long time, if ever. Just a few ones the devs happen to like.
You're much better off reusing/recycling whatever you can
Debatable. See this Penn & Teller Bullshit! episode, and consider how much empirical evidence you've actually seen that recycling is always best for the environment or whether, in many cases, it would actually be better to landfill stuff and create new stuff from scratch, especially things like glass where we have an effectively infinite supply of sand to create new glass with.
XP has had a longer lifespan than either a Red Hat or an Ubuntu LTS release. I hate defending Microsoft but on this one they are right to EOL the fucker
Who gives a shit how old it is? I don't care if it's 100 years old, it works well for me and I still use it with no problems. Granted it will start having problems on new hardware, but that's about it. Properly patched it's basically a stable decent operating system.
Yeah, I would expect kids who speak Dutch and Danish (particularly Danish) to speak English relatively well as a second language. Strange that it would "put her off".
Five years ago, if a businessman needed the latest mobile PC, they bought a laptop running a MS OS. Now, they buy a tablet, quite possibly running Android or iOS.
How do they type properly on it without a real keyboard?
Glad I'm still using Firefox 14 and have disabled updates. Looking at the UI for Firefox 20, I see an awful looking theme almost identical to Chrome, and an inferior download manager. It looks wholly inferior to what I have now (I have the Firefox 3 theme enabled so no nasty monochrome interface).
Breeder reactors are a bitch to work. As far as I know, there is no successful commercial program on the horizon.
Maybe if Clinton hadn't cancelled funding for the EBR2 in the 90s, we would have viable reprocessing reactors today and be processing existing nuclear waste.
there is a detectible difference between a picture, for example, that has hidden data and one that does not.
That would be failed steganography - the equivalent of someone successfully decrypting an encrypted communication. Steganography is considered successful only when it has not been detected.
I know this is a hell of a noob question for Slashdot, but maybe someone will inform me anyway. Why do people like PayPal even need to use VMs? Can't they just write software that is designed to work over a cluster of real machines that act as failovers? What advantages does using a VMs get you when you don't need to support software written for multiple OSes (I'm assuming PayPal's main reason for using VMs is not that)?
Definitely +1 to computer game soundtracks; I use them to block out noise at work that distracts me. SNES SPCs work well. I've probably clocked up a few months of listening to the Secret of Evermore game select screen tune by now...
The problem with a very liberal way of thinking is, that if the state knows better than you naturally it follows that the state should control all aspects of your activity.
Please understand that that's a severe US bastardization of the term "liberal". I consider myself socially very liberal and precisely because of that I *DON'T* want the state messing around in people's affairs if possible. What heavy state involvement in media is, is authoritarian.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't have facebook and I network just fine, you know by talking to people and shit.
And even talking to shit is probably optional.
Because who wouldn't want to stroke the five-foot-wide butterfly?
Yep or the giant spider cage is good too.
I wouldn't recommend the fire ants, though.

Well, actually... it's a little of both.

Cop: McBain, in this department, we go by the book!
(McBain shoots book)
McBain: BYE, BOOK.
No amount of regulation would fix the problems with Fukushima Daiichi
No, but it would've stopped it being built there in the first place without the proper protections against tsunamis.

He should've renamed himself Kim Jong-Deux and told them to go look for his older brother.
but wholly shit man
LOL
Of course North Korea doesn't have a cellphone system
Well, not since they shut it down anyway. :-)

This is nothing. Voyager is going to be pulled into the Delta quadrant soon.

some group has made a sane DE for Linux again.
Like MATE or XFCE, you mean?

Trouble is, when we get there we'll discover that's what it was like a million years ago, and now it's turned into another Venus. :-)
Yep; in fact, the Borg specifically worked with implants, hence the need to physically assimilate victims.
