I had one of those for a while, and every time I considered trashing it, I sat in it to remind myself how much I didn't like it, and then I'd use it for a month straight because I forgot about how much I liked it.
Flaimbait? Maybe. Reality? Probably. I have Linux on my Mac - why? No fucking clue. OSX is a billion times better except for XBMC on a standalone machine (because I can compile everything to spec) and ElementaryOS on my Mac because ZynAddSubFX is too terribly difficult to get working on OSX. Otherwise? What's up stability and performance on a machine from 2005???
GRUB 2 may just be a BIG PROBLEM for a small number of people, but when Ubuntu pushes a kernel image that borks your whole boot system, designating the preferred kernel to something else becomes a real PITA. It was doable, but with a lot more headache than it was with Grub < 2.
Unity was the killer for me - Gnome 2 option or not, I couldn't convince my then girlfriend (somehow, even after Unity, she married me??) to make sure the right WM was selected at login. And when I'm sitting there, cursing Unity and eventually just pulling up the terminal to do something, it becomes a "Well, I'm just going to go back Windows" situation.
I'm not sure. I don't quite bite. I've only seen most of the Tesla fire stories here...and most of them in defense of Tesla. However, I've seen plenty of stories about other car companies having plenty of problems everywhere. I don't think Tesla is being unfairly criticized, but I think the community that has arisen to defend them is extremely vocal...to the point that they actually make the stories about the fires more prevalent. Hell, one story here talked about how common car fires are in general, so why is this now news?
From my point of view: the people making the biggest fuss are the people who are decrying the "big fuss" around the fires. There's probably a term for this - feels, Streisandish...
I would mod you up if I could...we don't even live in an area where we can know that we're getting what would be medically helpful for my wife. We just have to hope that it's high in CBDs, which it probably won't be (b/c it's not what gets you high), and we get to take constant risk of ruining our lives over 1/4oz a month, roughly. But every cop I've ever dealt with in relation to it has treated me like I was scum and that I was part of the crumbling structure of society.
<sarcasm>Guess I don't mind my wife being on umpteen pills a day though, it sure is cheap and won't cause any long term problems like weight gain, hair loss, destruction of reproductive organs, development of uncontrollable spasms (ticks), insomnia, or anything else.</sarcasm>
Eh, along with Zordak's comment that they likely wouldn't land in prison, the homeless aren't a great working population. The other side of private prisons is cheap labor, and you need healthy, strong, young people to do your labor. Too bad there isn't any kind of bias against young, healthy, strong people in this country that lands them in prison more often...
I'd like to see this line - I read the article and even went back to the source linked from there, no mention of pot, marijuana, weed, or anything else. Besides, in most places it's not illegal to have done it, but to be in possession of it (or paraphernalia, which still doesn't usually mean much without the actual drug).
In Boston, for example, you're pretty sure to be on your own for the holiday — only 6% of coworkers there nosh together.
Ah, well that stinks. Too bad people don't have friends, or family, to spend their holidays with...just coworkers. So, if you're in Boston, you'll probably be alone this Thanksgiving because you don't have friends, you don't have family, and your coworkers hate you.
"Common" might be misplaced - In general, hallucinations are "common" in many forms with Schizophrenia, but there are so many factors that play into it...I've been exposed to a community of people with it (or schizoaffective disorder) and they share some common ground but on the whole have very different hallucinations. "Common" would probably be voices, but even those vary remarkably from one person to the next.
Olfactory hallucinations may be closer to common in people on psychedelic drugs than those suffering from schizophrenia.
But it's kinda backwards: the engine is the easy part for consoles: moar cores moar ram moar pixels! But, the controller is THE main interface piece (no matter how much they push kinect). It's not a speedometer, it's the goddamn steering wheel...car companies probably put decent budget into making sure that the grip feels good, that it handles well, that the user will feel in tune with the car when they put their hands on it.
Not just for notes - in high school, I had my 83+ programmed with all of the formulas I had coming up in a test and no one ever checked. It was fairly basic, for sure, but I never got into the memorization of formulas and I just wrote little BASIC-like programs to do it for me.
Suppose a couple wanted to have a baby. They spent a year planing for a baby and trying to get pregnant. They get pregnant and they are decorating the nursery, etc. Then, three months pregnant, she changes her mind and wants to kill the kid and go back to partying all night like she did in college. Pretty quickly, it's going to be too late to appeal a decision either way.
What? There shouldn't be a case at all - while the father certainly has some steak[sic] in the game, he certainly has no ownership or power over the woman's body. If the laws and regulations in her area allow for her to have an abortion, it is her right to do so and no one else's decision. It's ridiculous that these kinds of cases have ever even occurred, but then again we live in a country where women are still treated by many of the old-thought people as property, possessions, and pawns to manipulate and direct as they choose.
The father certainly should be involved in any kind of decision like that, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be anything a court would consider hearing as it should be thrown out on the grounds that it's the woman's choice.
Sure, but you also get a lot of good hits out of knowing where doorways and passages behind walls are: I've sniped a number of people behind walls because I knew, at spawn, there would be a high chance of *somebody* being behind it - given the narrow passageway and the odd curiosity of players going "should I step out there...," the chances for a hit on that wall are insanely high. If you train on a frequented path in an FPS, other than Battlefield which is HUGE, and shoot one round every 5 seconds after spawn, you'll probably hit something. Probably. IRL? You generally don't "know the map" IRL, so the odds drop a lot.
Mod parent up - this same "proud Tesla owner" is not the third fire, probably the 2nd iirc. This guy had a spot on the front page right after the second fire, b/c it's "all good."
Let's get the facts:
- 3 of these have caught fire and have made headlines
- Cars catch on fire
- Trying to push headlines that make it look like Tesla is the good guy, which they really are - see above two points - only make it seem like the opposite: you don't have to massage a pubic that understands the two key points by trying to somehow fluff it up over and over AND OVER AGAIN. After second fire: "Fiery Tesla Owner Says He'd Buy Again;" third fire: "Everyone take a breath, cars catch on fire all the time," and "Same guy from before said he would buy another, remember? He said it before, and don't forget he said it."
Chill. If the cars are deathtraps, we'll know soon enough...I mean, it's not like these were the only 3 bought right?
I mean,/. kind of knows it's Linux-y stuff, but somewhere like KVR probably would have been better for asking this kind of thing - I'm surprised no one's told him to just code his own software if he can't find what he needs on Google, or Wikipedia's list of audio editing software (you can find it via Google).
The house considers it cheating if they feel that you're counting, mechanical or not. If they so much as feel like you're winning "too much" they'll kick you out. The difference being that if you're using a device to cheat (or really cheating in any capacity), they'll kick your ass and then kick you out.

People who are very serious in the warez scene or piracy don't blindly trust anyone. Usually.
