In many cases shinkansen travel is more expensive than domestic Japanese flight to the same destinations with longer travel time, but it's still very popular. You don't have to buy tickets in advance, there's no security screening, it's very quiet and comfortable... etc.
This is the same assclown who thought llittle-endian hostnames would be a great idea so now we're stuck with shit like:
store.mysite.com/some-category/some-product
instead of the more sensible:
com.mysite.store/some-category/some-product
for the rest of eternity. (Not to mention the brilliant idea to stuff a couple of slashes after the protocol name for no fucking reason.) What the fuck was this guy doing before he thought of adding pictures to gopher? Because it couldn't have been anything important...
Ice reflects substantially more infrared energy back into space than seawater. Lowering the Earth's albedo will MAKE melting ice caps a cause of warming.
I've never installed a custom ROM, in spite of being very tempted to do so, because the tools to get one installed are largely Windows based and are seemingly universally closed source.
Using closed source software to do something "they" don't want you to do seems like a great way to invite malicious code onto your system.
I'd run it from a VM but then there's the whole USB passthrough issue and I'm concerned about bricking my device.
Even the god damned Nexus phones don't have a hidden switch the enable root. Nope, have to use some kind of exploit.
If there was some way to install a custom ROM *through the front door* I'd do it.
It would be amusing if Netflix et al. opted to take a small hit to their revenue and made their services free to all current customers in PA, thus denying the state the taxes they projected.
The glare finish which Apple popularized (thanks, Apple) is profoundly irritating to use under almost any lighting conditions other than complete darkness.
Actually, if, on a Mac running OS X, you do nohup blahblahblah >/tmp/blahblahlog 2>&1 & in a Terminal window in a GUI session, and then log out and log back in again, blahblahblah will still be running (verified experimentally on an El Camino (virtual) machine just now).
Shouldn't that read: "Disclaimer: verified using hacked OS image in an unsupported environment, your mileage may vary."?
This is why Voting needs some sort of ID system to allow you to track your vote. Each year a new hash should be given to each person, which should remain valid until a few weeks after the election. You should be able to log in and see that your vote was correctly registered and counted. I'm pretty sure people will be quick to flock to social media if their hash result doesn't match who they voted for.
But this would break ballot secrecy. If you can prove how you voted then your vote can be bought or coerced.
Please take a few minutes and think about how it doesn't make sense to talk about something having *less* of some property (cost, temperature, speed) as being some positive multiple of said property with regards to whatever it's being compared to.
"A is 10 times slower than B" No. Speed is a measurable phenomenon. "Slowness" is not.
"A is 10 times thinner than B" No. Thickness is what is measured. "Thinness" was invented by marketers.
"A is 10 times colder than B" No. A's temperature is 1/10th B's temperature.

What the fuck browser are you using that's inserting fucking "smart" apostrophes?
I need to know for my blacklist.

I wish people like you and me could have a whole state to ourselves, like the Mormons.

In fairness, the default themes for Ubuntu and Xubuntu are the same way.
It hurts my head to try to imagine how shit like that gets approved.
At least on Xubuntu it's easy to change the window manager appearance to something sane.

Remember that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings sits on Microsoft's board of directors.

What this guy said.
It reeks of "student film" and tries to make up for what it lacks in substance with mysticism and style but falls flat on its face.
Requiem For A Dream has entertainment value. Pi... I don't know, maybe you just have to be really wasted or something.

So then the 4th amendment doesn't apply to a telephone conversation because that doesn't fall under the category of "papers" or "effects"?
Give me a fucking break.

Amusing fact: the primary author of systemd is the same guy that brought us pulseaudio. Why do we do this to ourselves?

Well, I could make the case that "X to Y" is more like a mail header. "Consider Z" does stand as a sentence on its own...
Yeah, then I changed my sig :)
