Frankly? Conquest. The conqueror gets to define the boundaries. Taiwan will remain within the borders conquered by Chiang Kai-shek's army until such time that it either willingly incorporates itself into another territory or is itself conquered.
Thanks for the "-v" trick! Sadly it is not present on the BSDs, but I'm doing more Linux stuff these days at work as we migrate from Solaris so it will come in handy.
Roman numerals is a hilarious edge case. I'd love to see the bug tracker if you enter it:)
It comes down to your task at hand. I (usually) prefer the Mac "natural sort", where it tries to get all fancy and put "a_10" after "a_9" instead of after "a_1". I almost never want "A" to follow "z". But then sometimes I'm dealing with a big machine-generated data set and the natural sort gets it badly wrong.
My pet peeve is that Windows does not offer a sort which includes the folders mixed in and that Mac does not offer a sort with the folders segregated:)
Why use the space, though? Just about any special character will sort before "a". How about an underscore "_" or the hash "#"? These characters work cross-platform and in most shells. I'd stay away from "$" and "%" because these have special meanings on unix and Windows, respectively. I'd stay away from "~" because that does a lookup on user. Any sort of a slash is bad news. But spaces and commas are some of the most common delimiters, so that seems like a really bad choice IMHO.
Command lines handle filenames with spaces just fine. But the auto-completion stuff can't possibly know the difference between a delimiter and the beginning of a filename if you actually start the filename with a space, which is an interesting enough edge case that I was wondering what on Earth he was doing.
That's a fairly non-trivial problem. The old pricey way to solve it was to use an OS (or at least word processor) that rendered to the screen using Display Postscript and then also use a Postscript printer. The modern Macs and printers do a decent enough job by using something akin to PDF for display and raster printing. I assume the Adobe apps do something similar on Windows, but Word certainly does not and so you get different results in print than you do on the screen. What program do you use on Windows to get true WYSIWYG?
I should probably file this under "Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to", but what purpose does having a filename beginning with a space serve? That would be really, really annoying in any unix-like environment. Or for that matter, in DOS.
I've found the opposite in many cases. Asking for permission is a form of CYA and responsibility dodging. Often if you want something done you need to man up and just do it. In this case, we tried the whole "let people be in charge of their computers" thing for 30 or 40 years. The vast majority of people let things slide, and so I can't blame companies for the approach they are taking. But if they start prison raping us, yeah we should probably push back. As a practical matter, if you give 2 shits you can disable the auto updating - even on the Galaxy Note 7. Most people don't give a shit, thus the original problem.
I'm not putting the cart before the horse, I'm simply being pragmatic. As long as self-updating phones exist, you cannot prevent the pusher from doing nasty things. If you are worried about nasty things, get a phone that doesn't self update. Or disable the automatic updates (if your carrier has that option). Or download "Package Disabler Pro" and stop the Samsung update service. Or root it. But I think at this point both the carriers and the major vendors seem to be of the opinion that a bunch of unpatched phones out in the wild is bad for business.
I'm fairly certain it is impossible to have a self-updating OS on a device and also prevent the controller of the self-update process from installing malware. So, I'd say there is nothing wrong with the system at the moment and our rage is best withheld until such time that they actually abuse their power.
I think he just meant that conservatives play the game as good or better than liberals, evident by their lower numbers in the population yet better representation in government at all levels.
Actually, I think the system should be set up so that when people all act in their best interests, you get the desired outcome.
The real trick is determining the desired outcome. People have a lot of trouble expressing exactly what the stock market is, or what they want it to be. This actually applies to most things in our world; people are always talking about "improving education", but good luck getting a measurable set of goals from most people using that phrase.
Before you go for my throat, I was simply proposing a way to put the kabash on low-latency stock trading. I don't actually have a strong aversion to it, and though I'm pretty ignorant about the whole thing tend to agree with you. But if stopping the low-latency guys is your goal, it's pretty straightforward.
How will you decide on order priority within the one-second batches?
I wouldn't do it - people who do this sort of thing for a living would. If I'm just spitballing and you won't make fun of my naivety I could try to come up with some solutions. I'm not sure why FIFO wouldn't work just fine - simply fill the buffer until the next transaction window fires. It's the same system that is in place now, with larger quantum steps.
Just make the stocks trade in time-coordinated batches. The batches can still be relatively fast - even every second - just so it is slow enough to stop the stupid games with the speed of communications.
I believe it was to confirm some of his cabinet, and yes, I'm betting Democrats wish they had that power now as the Trump cabinet picks come rolling in.
I think medical usage is supported by a much broader portion of the populace than recreational usage. I'm genuinely happy that you found something to improve your unfortunate situation.
The point of my post was only to point out that, whether it is "good" or "not good" (too binary for the real world IMHO), the policy of marijuana prohibition probably doesn't make much sense... the science doesn't scare me from my stance that it should be legal, because my expectation was not that science would prove it was "good".
IMHO, the flaw in your logic is the assumption that because pot is illegal, it is the responsibility of the people advocating for legalization to make a case. I contend that it is the opposite - the people using the power of government to change people's behavior need to be the ones making a case. If the argument they are using singles out one drug over another for no obvious reason, then I fail to see why I should be persuaded by their argument. It's basic "low hanging fruit" stuff.
I think it would be very hard to believe that marijuana was good for you. You generally burn it and inhale it - that usually isn't a part of healthy living.
With that said, alcohol is your gold standard. It causes cancer, liver disease, thousands of deaths in the form of auto accidents. It's implicated in mental health disorders and causes plenty of other social ills.
And yet, legal. My state sells it and makes a hefty profit. Pot would need to be a hell of a beast to justify restricting it more highly than alcohol.
I agree that they spent too much money and time on the space shuttle, but I think they are now recovering in the best way possible: focus on their wildly successful robotic missions while letting the private sector and Russia get them to LEO, and toss a bare minimum into developing deep space manned capability to keep the inspirational bit alive. Maybe SLS is not the most efficient use of funds, but in part that's what happens when your goals get changed on you every 8 years.

Well, that comment was a blast from the past.

You just came here to brag that you've sampled a statistically significant number of women.

So next time someone proposes a new power for the President, ask yourself, "Would I be comfortable with Donald Trump having this power?"
We reap what we sow.
Ha, yes, the Titantic passengers didn't like water in any form :)
