On Linux I use Atril (Mate's fork of Evince). I used to be a big fan of Okular but it chokes on files with lots of images (such as film festival brochures).
Oh I'm sure East German surveillance traumatised the world's most powerful woman, Angie Merkel. Which is why she was so upset when decades later an ally, and one of the "good guys", under a 3-letter-agency bugged her phone.
I merely take issue with the logical error of the form: All communists are tyrants ==> All tyrants are communist.
Right wingers too had their domestic intelligence agencies that inflicted some nasty vindictive behaviours upon their own people - Franco in Spain, Salazar in Portugal, the "dirty wars" in South America during the 70-80s lead by military thugs such as Pinochet. All of whom were allies of the USA during the cold war.
i.e. I'm not excusing communism's infamy but "we", the west, didn't smell of roses either.
Chrome Reader is just a knock-off of Google Reader, a product they discontinued several years ago despite a loyal fan base but this time only available as a Chrome add-on?
Features added in 4.3 that people want to test their product against. If 4.4.is too bleeding edge then they can use 4.3 as a baseline until 4.5 is out and 4.4. becomes the new previous stable release.
i.e. All the cool stuff is happening in 4.5 right now but 4.4 might still contain regressions or unstable behaviour so maintainers keep the 4.3 branch alive for a little while.
Some think Greece started spiraling down economically due to the 2000 Olympics. Sydney took it up the old poop shoot financially and I've heard wishes they had never hosted.
You have your years mixed up. Athens 2004, Sydney 2000.
In the case of Sydney, they built a number of purpose built facilities, on the western fringe of the city. The ideology being that western Sydney is a growth area and if we build it, they will come. The problem being that the main stadium has been largely a white elephant and financial black hole, not frequently drawing big enough crowds for rugby and being an awkward shape for AFL whose fans prefer the smaller SCG.
Contrast that with Melbourne, which hosted a modest 2006 Commonwealth Games. The MCG, cricket's jewel, got a much needed upgrade and other venues received funding. Perhaps a waste of money for the schools-and-hospitals crowd but a sport loving city will use the facilities for decades to come (contrast the annual re-purposing of Albert Park for a Grand Prix which leeches money to Bernie Eccleston).
I'd welcome if Melbourne bid for the Olympics again - it might finally get the dickheads in the capital to fund a rail link to the city's airport which various state and federal governments have been dithering over for 40 years. (I don't mind the Skybus, personally, but for a major world event you need a train line.)
Any sufficiently large and well organised programming team will have a style-guide and instructions for configuring your editor specific to the project. Style checkers will run as part of automated builds to determine non-compliant code, which can be handed to interns as busy-work to correct (with code reviews as per necessary). Developers will be requested to pretty-print their code against an indentation rules file prior to checking in work, which will be available as a command line tool or as an IDE function.
e.g. one of the first functions Theo and the libressl team did when creating the heart-bleed inspired fork was to reformat every source file according to OpenBSD guidelines.
That might sound like a team-lead has OCD and open a holy-war on tabs vs spaces but at the end of the day you accept the rules of the guys that are paying you... (Dunno how that's enforced on volunteer projects, mind you!)
Well someone was complaining the other day that Windows 7 and later had poor compatibility with programs written for XP and earlier versions dating back to DOS.
ReactOS could fill such a niche.
I've personally found Wine in the past useful for bug fixing where problems would only occur on various revisions of windows, different from my developer workstation. Running Windows in a VM is one diagnostic; wine and ReactOS provide another.
I'd personally trust more a repository of programs where the programs had been built from source by volunteers and was free to tinker with under a FOSS license.
The problem with any two party system is they vote out one bunch of corrupt self-serving, thieving bastards and replace them with the others. What would happen if enough people voted "neither of the above"?
Perhaps the future lies with the Spaniards. An election just before Christmas is still playing out. The two traditional parties, PP and PSOE, received only 50.7% of the vote meaning almost half the voters said "we've had enough of your bullshit".
(and I don't mean this as a red-rag for the ASCII-only crowd, please consider before downmodding)
It's a pet peeve of mine when foreign letters are mangled on here; it detracts from the discussion.
El Ninyo being an illustrative example of why entry of foreign characters contained within common Latin-variant alphabets should be supported.
One poster above has successfully entered the right html escape code but it's an input-dev pain in the rear, especially if you have an enye character on your Spanish keyboard!
When the jobs disappear, the most stable career path will be the world's oldest profession - servicing the insatiable sexual appetites of an expanding robot middle class.
January notwithstanding, my local region has had below average rainfall for several decades and soil moisture is at 100 year record lows.
Convincing city-dwelling politicians to spend money on infrastructure to drought-proof a continent by building pipelines to carry water from high rain areas to low ones is futile. Rural constituents continue to vote against their own self interest by electing conservative denialist nest-featherers.

I have already switched to theoldreader, which works in Firefox so I won't be adopting a chrome-only solution with unknown longevity.

I'd hazard a guess that her bag lady chic cost a pretty penny. That shiny leather jacket alone would probably cost several hundred pounds.

It sounds like a line out of a Billy Joel song.
stable has 5.0.4 in backports and one would assume 5.1 soon after it reaches testing.
