My current ISP uses VDSL2 for all their current plans, and they only offer modem+router combos (and refuse to even allow you to put them into bridge mode). The problem is that VDSL2 requires a cert from the ISP to work, so even if I could find a compatible VDSL2 standalone modem I wouldn't be able to use it.
There is only one other primary ISP available to me, and they are a cable provider, and also only offer modem+router combos. At least for them they'll remotely put their device into bridge mode, but you're still stuck with a router connected to the internet in your home and you just have to trust them that it'll be fine (and I've heard they're far from stable).
It seems like my only options if I want to run my own router hardware are to pay for an expensive business plan (I mean, at least I hope they still offer modem-only solutions for businesses) or to just stick with my old ADSL plan. It's slow, but I can use my own router with their inoffensive standalone modem, and as a bonus my plan is old enough that I don't have usage caps, unlike seemingly every other plan in Canada now (unless you pay an extreme additional premium).
.. at which point, the person refused entry has to buy a ticket out of there as soon as reasonably possible. Which would typically mean buying a business class ticket.
I'll admit I'm not sure how that follows. Admittedly, our society has gotten to a place where we seem to assume that if a person doesn't have unlimited wealth it's a personal failing on their part, so I'm not entirely surprised if that's the case. But I'm curious what the legal justification would be.
This article is yet another confirmation that Slashdot just gets worse and worse. I hate to troll, but come on guys, up the quality some.
Actually the question begs a legitimate answer. However the majority here seem to be jerks.
The question wasn't to gather as many jackasses to ask why, it was a technical question.
So what are you ass holes griping about. His reason is his reason is none of you're fucking business.
If you are too stupid to have the answer then why don't you shut up and go pick you're nose.
We are not obligated to help him. If he is trying to do something unethical, we are in fact obligated to not help him. And we will then have fun belittling him and tearing apart the question. And if he and you aren't alright with that then why don't you just shut up and go pick "you're" nose (that's the point at which I figured you're probably just a troll, but what the hell, sometimes it's fun to indulge in a little troll feeding).
Musical taste is a proxy for social group membership, but what if you have no taste in music? Back in high school, folks would ask me, "What music do you listen to?" I never had an answer, because I listen to everything.
This is offtopic, and do feel free to prove me wrong (although don't necessarily expect me to just take your word for it...howabout the irony of a Last.fm profile?) but I honestly doubt that you listen to 'everything'. I've yet to run into a person that said that that didn't just mean "anything on the radio". Do you listen to french punk? German post-punk? Post-rock? Ambient drone? Black metal? Death metal? Chiptunes? Bluegrass? Baroque? Classical? Classic hip-hop? Early acid jazz? Jazz? Inuit throat singing? Industrial? I'm guessing the answer to many (if not most) is "no". And that's not exactly a complete list of the kinds of genres that are out there . . .
These days, that an app is developed "for" KDE or GNOME or whatnot doesn't at all preclude running it elsewhere. I use many GTK and GNOME apps myself (in fact, the browser I'm typing this from at the moment---Chromium---is GTK) but run KDE since it's flexible and doesn't seem to want to remove features every release (sorry, sorry, not trying to start a flamewar), so I can't see why you wouldn't be able to run Rosegarden in a GNOME environment. The worst thing that can happen is the widgits and iconography might look a bit out of place, but who cares? And there are compatible themes that take care of even that. I'm honestly really confused by your statements, it's like saying you can't wear a striped tie because you have polkadot underwear on.
But of course, since Ubuntu doesn't even use GNOME anymore as the default environment, I suppose it's possible you're simply asking a question from 2004, and I do remember back then apps looked kindof bad in the wrong DEs, and computers often didn't have enough disk space and RAM to want to bring in so many additional dependencies. Yeah, your question starts to make a bit more sense if we assume you're lost in time, although it still doesn't make a ton of sense. But anyways, considering it's 2014, who the fuck cares if you end up using an extra 100MB of RAM because you need to open the Qt libraries as well?
If you angled the screen right, the sunlight would actually reflect into and back out of the screen. Because it wasn't the angle the backlight goes from, it made it looks strange (metallic, and more physical than a backlit LCD screen normally looks, which I personally kindof like). I've rarely had a problem seeing my N9 in sunlight thanks to the polarized coating and the brightness of AMOLED, but there was something really cool about conscripting the sun into being your backlight, and I miss using my N900 because of that (and of course many other things like a hardware keyboard, but I digress).
The Harper administration, ever the efficient cost-cutters, saved the intermediary step between physical and digital by simply trashing the records instead. Hooray for small government!
Having a video camera pointed at a theater screen is illegal, on or off.
Wait, is there seriously a law on the books that makes it illegal to merely point a video camera at a theater screen? I'm used to Hollywood and other corporations getting ridiculous superfluous laws on the books, but that seems hard for even a cynical motherfucker like me to believe. Please, do cite sources.
FYI: the FSF can (and has) relicensed code contributed to GNU projects under a proprietary license. (gcc and part of the toolchain)
Firstly, I'm not sure of examples where that's actually true, but it's at very least worth pointing out that the CLA that the FSF gives folks to sign (and FSF projects don't actually have to sign it, but they are encouraged to) stipulate that such code will always be available under a copyleft license---as Matthew Garrett points out in (one of) TFA. So regardless of any other distributions, the FSF has pledged that all code contributed under CLAs will be available to folks as copyleft-licensed code, end of story. That is fundamentally different from Canonical's CLA which contains no such clause, so unlike the FSF they could theoretically take a codebase proprietary and fail to release further versions under copyleft licenses. Big difference.
I'm honestly a bit surprised that anyone interested in commentary by Linus Torvalds, Matthew Garrett and controversy over Canonical's policies in terms of copyright assignment (all of which is in the synopsis) wouldn't know what a CLA is.
Historical circumstances notwithstanding, I'm far from convinced the Catholic school system here in Canada has any right to exist. Certainly I don't believe it should be receiving any funding from the State particular to its outdated special status.
It's worth noting that Holmes came to reconsider his "yelling fire in a crowded theater" idea, and in fact later wrote a minority opinion in strong defense of expansive Free Speech in Abrams v. United States.
Summary didn't say whether bottlenose dolphins are rare or endangered. If they are, they should be protected from fishermen. Otherwise I don't see a problem with harvesting a small percentage for their meat.
I can think of another mammalian species that isn't anywhere close to being endangered. Best thing is, they already have basically every nutrient we would need in them, since they've been eating the exact same diet!
Am I crazy, or do even LED lights have a bit of a flicker? It's fine when I'm looking straight at them, but during saccades suddenly I experience the flicker. In a room lit by LEDs I quickly get a headache, which came as a surprise to me since I thought LEDs could finally deliver on what CFLs can't. So sadly for myself I still haven't been able to use anything other than incandescent, although I've put in CFL or LED lights in places like the entranceway where I won't be spending extended periods of time.
The server-side is a fairly trivial install (especially because they provide repos for every major distro), mostly just depending on PHP. You can store data/config in MySQL, postgreSQL, or SQLite (the default, but obviously not recommended for multiple users). The files themselves have for some time been saved in per-user folders, with a separate folder for past versions of files (by default all files are versioned). For the Documents app, it seems to store a copy of each file named with a UUID/hash in the "documents" folder for each user, the filename that you see it as being merely kept in the database.
The whole thing about big music programs like iTunes is that you don't have to care about where the files are actually kept and in which folders, your player just gives you sortable data that you can display and manipulate however you want. Personally I always go with Artist -> Albums Sorted By Date, but some people like genres and whatever and use playlists a lot. But it doesn't matter, you just throw your various folders of music in one big folder and point your player of choice at it and it goes and identifies and creates a database of all the music. Programs tend to call this a "Library", perhaps you've heard of this concept?
At that point you can use Amaork, Clementine, Tomahawk, whatever. Doesn't matter, any of them will trawl through the folder(s) you tell them to and give you a library listing that cares not one bit about how messy or not the actual files and folders are.
Why do you care about your music program sorting your files into nice ID3-based folders if your interface to them is completely agnostic towards the file structure? And if you do, then just write a quick bash script or something and install a non-Library based player like Audacious if you like interacting with your music collection in a folder-and-file way.
The John Birch Society which has re-materialized as the modern day Tea Party is a perfect example of what you are talking about. Their policies were marginalized by the Rebublican Party back in the day now accepted as mainstream in today's Republican Party. An intersting note is that Fred Koch founder of Koch industries is a founder of the John Birch Society. Charles and David Koch the sons of Fred Koch are the biggest funders of the Modern day John Birch Society AKA Tea Party.
Huh. I think I had heard vaguely about the John Birch Society many years ago, but I was unaware of the connection to the contemporary Tea Party. Certainly they've improved their branding (to the detriment of the historical Tea Party, sadly).
Umm, yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Although in both cases it's a bit complicated, however most of it is just that, with any revolution, the tendency is going to be towards retaining the power that has been grabbed, especially since power-hungry people will be attracted to the revolution as it gains steam. See Stalin, especially how he very successfully outed Trotsky. In Trotsky's advocating of rotating governance, so that average people would be given chances to be in positions of government authority but no one would hold on to it for long, he was being very Marxist (and is far more in line with what you'd think the definition of a "dictatorship of the proletariat" would be). But obviously that was a threat to the folks currently in power (and still with that fresh new-power smell to it!), so they backed Stalin in outing Trotsky to preserve their own power.
None of that is an indictment of Marxist socialism per se, any more than how the French Revolution ended up in a dictatorship should make us believe that Democracy is unworkable and always leads to dictatorships. It's just that in periods of societal upheaval, when power structures are being shaken up, it's quite likely that people and factions will successfully grab power for themselves, which will never be particularly empowering or beneficial for the common person.
Ummm, thats the rule everywhere on Earth that is civilized and not run by warlords, communists or socialists. If someone else owns something, don't fuck with it, it's not yours.
Oh, sweet, I'm glad we live in the civilized world! Anyways, so, I have property which I own, which includes the air in my house. So stop fucking polluting it with your goddamned cars and giant factories spewing smoke! I'm glad to know that you will, because with live in a place that is civilized, so we respect what other people own.

Not that I disagree with you, but then, is not "I don't have any weaknesses" a wrong answer? In which case the interviewer is still lying.
A trenchant comment, AND a Master of Orion reference? Parent, your comment would've been absolutely perfect if you had included line breaks.
