It's recessive AND X-linked.
This means that if mom has the disease, she has 2 x-chromosomes with the faulty gene.
That means ALL male offspring WILL HAVE the disease (as they will get their single x-chromosome from their mother, and the y-chromosome from their father, so there will never be a healthy x-chromosome for them, regardless of what the father has).
Radio and TV used to take their time to come on.
I mean with the tubes needing to warm up and all...
Booting OpenElec/LibreElec takes about a minute on a RPi 3.
It gets its power from the USB port of my TV, so when I turn off my TV the RPi will power off (but the TV will stay in standby mode).
PETA wants attention like a 3 year old with a tin whistle.
There is no such thing as negative attention; as long as they are in the news, they will be happy.
Thanks for your graceful remark, now I'll surely take your advice, being called a fucktard by an anonymous COWARD.
I used the phrase dead tree book, to distinguish between an e-book and/or text on a (lcd) monitor.
Of course I could have simply said 'paper book', but hey, I need to go with the times...
You go to a library to look for books.
You go onto the internet to look for.... Oooh shiny thing
A dead tree book beats a text on a monitor, and even e-ink readers. A book you can take with you and doesn't need power (although you do need a light source).
An e-reader is great (use it myself a lot), but for quickly flipping back to a certain bit to check/read it again, a paper book wins hands down.
I found more interesting books/authors by browsing the books on the bookshelves in a library than online.
Colour other than 'no colour' used to be thought of as inferior/impure, and those diamonds were ground up and used as industrial sandpaper.
So quality is very, very subjective.
Of course, most writers I grew up with were already 'old' when I first read their work...
Frederik Pohl (and Jack Vance earlier this year) managed to reach a very respectable age, and their passing is only natural.
It still saddens me though that such a mind is gone forever.
I bet it would be lye going in all directions, but the net result is the same...
But if this rates as a felony, then I'm probably on the terrorrist list of the USA...
The stupid thing is that we here in the Netherlands measure TV and monitor sizes in inches. I know what to expect from a 32" TV, but when they advertise it as '81cm' I need a calculator...
100 monkeys will eventually write something that isn't Perl, but will turn out to be the complete works of Shakespeare.
It's possible to write obscure code in every language, so Perl's not alone there.
Without comments even COBOL-74 source can be a mysterious black box.
Then, of course, there's the "why ruin it for everyone?" argument. Let's say someone owns a piece of property, and they don't mind if it's used for parties, or camping, or whatever... Then a bunch of people come along and litter, cut down all the trees, etc.. Then the owner says "no more" and puts up no trespassing signs, hires a guard to make sure nobody goes on the property. You just ruined it for everyone by taking advantage of the situation so now nobody can use it.
Trashing a place and thus ruining it for everybody is completely different from IGNORING the bits you don't like.
There are things I want to turn off, because ignoring them doesn't work. (too obnoxious to ignore, flashing/noisy/interfering ads).
If the web turns into a quiet place where you can only find sites with relevant info, maintained by people that do it because they want to SHARE INFORMATION, instead of people that want to MAKE MONEY, then I'm all for it, the sooner the better.
Not all ads are bad though. relevant ads, brought in a sensible fashion are something that I might have a look at.
If it's half the page, blinking, moving, overlapping, or making any noise, then it's Adblock time.
Unfortunately, Adblock (plus) probably filters out ads that I might have been be interested in... Oh well, that's the price we users have to pay...
As (almost) everybody already said: I decide what I want to look at on my computer.
If you want to make money with your site, offer subscription-only access and stop whining about us not allowing you to exercise your 'right' to force drivel down our eyeballs.
THE Dutch tweakers/news site http://www.tweakers.net/ forbids blocking of ads in any way.
Maybe they should team up with Philips, with their unskippable ads TV.
My screen does NOT dictate me what I have to see or not.
Rules for ads are simple: Does it move/blink/make noise? Bye bye ad.
One further rule: Does the ad appear somewhere in the middle of the page I'm trying to read? Gone.
I won't even go into the overlay, pop-up and -under junk.
I won't buy anything from web ads anyway, so they won't lose a sale by not reaching my eyeballs.
I don't see the difference between ignoring an ad or blocking it, as far as the results towards 'paying for content' goes.
A site puts up ads in the hopes it will pay for the content.
Now someone goes to the site and ignores the ads as good as he/she can. Result: no income
Someone else blocks the ads, and enjoys the site a lot more (probably). Result: no income
The second case might enjoy the site though, and even recommend it to someone else. (in better wording than: 'Well, the content is cool, but I wouldn't go there because of the bloody stupid blinking/huge/flash/pop-up/-under ads')
I don't mind sites (or rather admins) putting up ads, let them not mind me not viewing them. If I want to see ads, I'll watch the tube for an hour
If they want to make money, let them get a real job.

Uh, no, if you have very acidic water (say pH 1), you multiply by 10 = 10.
:-)
Subtract that from 100, and you end up with 90.
That's more than alkaline water (starts at 8) will yield in this formula.
I think you drank too much alkaline water already
Well, those 2 fonts do a pretty good job of stunning anyone trying to read them
They hurt worse than Comic Sans.

I've seen great Python code and poor Python code.
But at least the poor Python is still nicely formatted, right? :-P

That doesn't say anything of the gender of the person using that nom de plume.
Yeah, ask TV5 how that works...

You should never search for 'does it blend' on YouTube... It will permanently damage your brain.
Well, the US seems to think that their rules are to be applied globally, especially when it's about audio/video material...
