I dunno. I would keep it simple. It might be slightly dangerous to depend on technologies like base64 and RAR which might not be around 20-30 years from now.
Print a human-readable copy and add a computer-readable format, like barcodes or a pen drive, a hard drive, SD card... (CDs might not survive very long if you're unlucky)
Actually a high-quality CDR can be much better than pen drive, hard drive or SD card. Laser-burnt track versus electronic charge.
Any reason an edit function couldn't reset the moderations and give the mod points back to the original modders, optionally with a notification to the original modders that the content changed so they could moderate it again?
Heck, have also full edit history if you want to get it right.
But I'm not sure if the edit function would just add unnecessary complexity. Just take a breath and think your message thoroughly before sending it.
What a brilliant idea! Then we could moderate you up to 5, and you could switch out the content for a goatse link instead!
I think that works in Reddit. I'm not sure if there are much protection against changing big parts of messages even after long time and modding. I've been already planning what would be the ultimate prank to exploit that feature. Just because it is possible.
LXDE should ship with a desktop compositor. Currently there is horrible tearing going on all around, and of course using the 3D acceleration of GPU would be a nice thing to utilize.
Personally I hate the Qt APi. It has its uses. The cross platform capabilities are a lot better and it has a lot of functionality built-in that you can only get as separate external libraries with GTK+. But I disagree that it is better to program for. GObject may be verbose but to me the object model, class hierarchies, etc make a lot more sense.
I possibly didn't fully understand your comment. You expressed that you don't like the Qt API, but in the last sentence it looks like you actually favor Qt over GTK. Seeing GObject referring to GNOME and object model & class hierarchies belonging to Qt.
Indie games are innovative, not rehashed concepts everyone's seen before
I'm not sure about that. I mean, I wish they were more innovative and there's always some gems in the bunch. But there is actually lots of blatant rehashes.
Well, at least there is the classic magic trick of beginning a post with "I expect to be modded down to oblivion by saying this, but..." which actually gets you modded up.
This is true. The thunder of economic crisis is roaming over Europe quite badly right now, and the option of getting a job and self-dependent is simply not an option for everyone.
But 20 is right around the corner and if the situation is still present then, the parents might worry that they didn't begin steering the direction already when he was 17.
The best help a parent can offer is to kick the kid out. Stop giving people things to fall back on and when the only option left is to get a job, work hard, and take care of your own damn self, you will quickly get a job, work hard, and take care of your damn self.
What if they can't find a job and begin to cope with the benefits of the social security system, continuing playing video games on the sofa? Unless you kick them all the way to Indonesia...
He is mildly autistic, with anxiety being a part of it. He completely lacks initiative and ambition. He's always been largely indifferent.
Kicking him in the butt only makes him curl up into a little ball. I've tried both positive and negative motivations and there are no external means that seem to work.
He seems to be stuck into the mode of thinking where basically the only obligations of life are to be born and die. Ultimately that is philosophically true, but his lack of ambition clearly plays an important role here. The spark has to be lit somehow, creating interesting goals and meanings for his life.
The Internet can provide you with almost everything you need to survive.
Actually, I'd fine-tune that point a bit: after you have arranged yourself basic survival (food, shelter, etc.), Internet can offer you everything to fill the rest of your life with.

For those who want to watch the excellent episode, it is called Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (S02E15), season 2 torrent.
Can we at least make sure stuff is adequately summarized before it hits the front page?
:D
Why is every minutiae associated with Bitcoin posted on the front page here?
Just like Linux, Bitcoin is the little man's fight against the big entities. I believe this is the reason.
Of course not. The actual work can be extremely valuable.
So you downloaded a "130,000 e-books" torrent? ;)

You can get a bit closer by using FPGAs.
The sites cannot be directly compared. Reddit is a pure message board, Slashdot a news aggregator. I use both.

Roughly all of my furniture with the exception of the chair I'm sitting in now came from Ikea.
Let me be the chairman then, as I just picked a chair (TORKEL) from Ikea. Luckily enough I was able to purchase a demo unit for €30.
Nice product, comfortable and ergonomic.
Oh. I thought the "ack" as "acknowledge", which also works in your sentence.
Cool idea.

I have visioned that there should be only the possibility to mod posts up. For GNAA junk a "report spam" link.
And more mod points to people! There's always someone saying "I wish I had mod points for you".

I like how in Japan and South Korea you can be a more softer and colorful man without being stamped as a homosexual. More freedom of mind.
