It's just not done because there's no standard implementation of how to store that metadata that is common to file systems, api's or programs.
I responded that 'file' seems to do a pretty good job at figuring out what type of file each is. Thus was going along with the idea that a gui could have some sort of metadata displaying the file type easily. No one said anything about scripting.
my "file" command seems to do a pretty good job. So there are some standards even if they are just because of common practices of using a so-called "magic number" in the file data itself.
There is a key difference between what maxume said and you said. Maxume:
(Most) Online newspapers aren't making money.
You:
You know who else dosen't make a lot of money
You gave an example that doesn't make much money, but it still turns a profit. Online newspapers are giving their product away for free. If they are losing money, then it is not a viable long term business model. That is, if advertising revenue does not offset the cost of doing business then they are running in the red, and cannot do so indefinitly.
I'm almost positive they are. Any security clearance room I've worked in, you can't take anything out of the room, let alone selling them on ebay.
So I definitely think someone stole these for the cash, because defense contractors who work on classified projects don't sell hard drives on ebay (wiped or otherwise).
It is unlawful for any person...knowingly to make any materially false statement, for the purpose of maintaining prices or establishing higher prices for the same, or for the purpose of limiting or diminishing the quantity thereof available for market, or for the purpose of procuring, or aiding in procuring, or establishing, or maintaining a monopoly in such articles or products, or for the purpose of in any manner restraining trade, any fruits, vegetables, grain, meats, or other articles or products ordinarily grown, raised, produced, or used in any manner or to any extent as food for human beings or for domestic animals.
I think this might make a food critic's job harder, but that is ok because their job is too damn easy anyways.
I understand what you wrote, but I simply don't agree with the metaphor. Huffman codes are not abreviations, they are replacement of the most common symbols with smaller ones, with the trade off that now less common things will take more symbols to transmit.
That would be akin to exchanging "talk to you later" with "z" and "got to go" with "x", now when some one wants to text "zebra" they have to you the longer code "zzebra" less it get interpreted "talk to you laterebra"
Well, take into account that the goats exist for more then just to eat grass. As in, if you mow with a lawn mower, you burned gasoline to power them and that is it, but goats give goats milk/meat and even perhaps help reduce US dependence on foreign oil because google is using less gas.
A Huffman code would waste space if the maximum message size is this small (because you need to transmit the code also). Unless the coding is known ahead of time, in which case I doubt your s.daughter's code would be useful to the non-17y.o-girl segment of the population.
Without peaking I'ld say: snd-bt-sco looks like the name of a kernel module, and bluez-3 the same..asoundrc is a configuration file for sound.
And you said you got the rest.
The parent was giving specifics so that anyone who knows about bluetooth on linux would know how informed he was. It was not meant as an instruction manual.
Because my computer doesn't just run firefox. Currently, when I load a webpage that spikes my cpuload, I like that the rest of my computer interaction remains snappy. Also, I feel that it would encourage poor web development. I never want browsing the internet to require a multi-core processor.
It's almost impossible to NOT buy a multi-core machine any more.
Grab the browser you use in 1998, and try and browse the top websites today. You will fail. Youtube, facebook, even/. will fail. There is more demand on the browser than ever before. So WTF are you comparing?
Troll or ignorant, you clearly have no idea why there are "deleted scenes." I watch the directory commentary on all my favorite movies and new movies have the deleted scenes with commentary. Almost invariably the director says, "while I really loved this scene because of X, the information/emotion presented was repetitive and it slowed down the film" -aka- pacing.
What you will notice more than some missing backstory from the comic book you laminated and keep in your shower (it is ok to insult ACs right?), is an action movie that takes forever to get to the action.
on average a human will respond more to the loss of someone they've shared experiences on a long term basis than someone they have not even if it is their own child.
I agree completely, but the original flamer said "important." That is different, because "important" differs by the person. Which is why I started to use different and hastily thought-up examples.
Because the parent stated something controversial as fact instead of an opinion (which it is), with out backing it up. Then again, by his sig, I'm not really surprised at the position.
I think there would have been less of a problem had [s]he said:
Yeah, but the mother's life is far more valuable than that of the child's to me.
The bigger logical problem with his statement is that it is subjective. If my wife and I are having a kid, but we are some of the last members alive of some racial group (say an American indian tribe), then our kid might be more important).
But, if a couple had to chose at childbirth who lived and who died,for most males, this is probably true. Until you spend time with your children you don't have nearly the emotional connection to them that the female does. The female has spent months with the child inside her body and has hormones to enforce that bond. The choice of whether to live or die with the opposite happening to her unborn child would be much harder for her. Especially if complications made it impossible for her to ever have kids again...
Is that it took all this time for NASA to figure out they should probably team up and help promote themselves through one of the most popular tv shows on earth...
If that was what was happening, Nasa would be on American Idol; unless, that is not their target market.
copying a home directory/person files is easy. Removable hardrive for backup (even non-technical people should have this if their data matters). It is reinstalling Office, Developmentools, photo management software, video editing, aim, scanner, printer, itunes...

WTF are you talking about?!

Sorry, Had I known it was mostly a joke, I probably wouldn't have said anything.
Openoffice's antialiasing only affects things rendered by openoffice. So a .png link to my browser doesn't really show anything.

If that is how you feel. Then perhaps you shouldn't pay for cable/satellite tv. I think that would be the definition of not being 'worth my money.'
(I don't have cable tv, thanks to the internet/netflix/hulu)

Intrigued, I went and read that law.
It actually says that it is criminal to lie about the sandwich in an effort to disrupt the trade of said sandwich.
You can insult it, if it is true.

Ok, but that isn't Huffman coding; just abbreviation.

That is an untapped market if i've ever heard one.

Wow, if that is all you got out of his comment, you seriously have a one-track mind.

Netbooks?

That is a good point, and also proving my main point. That who is more "important" is something that takes more than a one line to declare.
...there is still a good chance that eggs could be harvested, etc.
Which is an invasive and expensive procedure. After such an ordeal on the birthing table a women might not want to go through that.
