Isn't it odd how as a percentage there are so few women, children and old people along with these 20 something male "refugees"..
You are an idiot or come from a family that would decide to send grandma onto a rubber boat crossing the Mediterranean and into a foreign country, instead of their most capable young male.
I agree with all you said, and am somewhat in the same boat wrt to tracking on PC and phone, though I am still searching for the best balance for myself. Though to me Opera is still be best mobile browser - the main reason I use FF is tab syncing with the PC. The most glaring hole for me in FF is the absence of a top/bottom button when scrolling through a long page. Opera has a nice overlay button when you flick.
BTW it's amazing how malicious mobile browser ads become when flicking. I regularly browse some forum discussions and tend to quickly flick through the older pages. With rendering delay involved it happens regularly that an ad appears under the thumb just when about to flick, and if you are unlucky the flick is interpreted as a touch: The ad takes over your screen and it's comically an aggravatingly difficult to get to to the browser tab you were scanning.
No, I am accusing myself and I am right. I thought I knew what I was talking about but didn't. Somehow I had gotten it into my head that the Android store crackdown on generic adblockers also affected browser add-ins. No idea how this happened, I should have noticed that I still don't see ads in FF on the tablet but do on the new phone, where I didn't check for ADB add-on based on this assumption, instead being very angry about the deteriorated experience.
Adblock Plus for Android only works via Wi-Fi and requires proxy configurations to install. Instead, to get ad blocking on Android, we recommend installing Adblock Browser. If you still wish to install Adblock Plus for Android, ensure that app installation from Unknown sources is enabled. To enable, open Settings and tap Unknown sources.
I do not understand what is so scary about a message saying, "hey, you've never been to this SSL domain before and it has a self signed certificate. A self signed certificate means that the owner of the domain created a certificate which is used to encrypt communications between your browser and the domain. In order to browse this site you must accept this certificate however you must be sure that this is the domain which you intended. Click here to read more about Self Signed Certificates..."

When Ubuntu rose it was not recommended to use (no security updates and so on) and normal people do not care for gigs of updates every day and an ever changing system and UI that has old bugs gone and new bugs appearing all the time.
Actually KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) is old rules, nowadays they have an MGU-K (Motor Generator Unit - Kinetic) harvesting under breaking and a MGU-H (-Heat) which harvests from the turbo when it has excess spin and can also keep the turbo spooled up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Yeah, sorry for being harsh, but you implied that rap/hip-hop could not be African music, which was pretty stupid.
I don't know, maybe they have different genres on the stream during the day, and African hip hop as as much right to be on the stream as anything else. Right now the current and next 5 tracks are not hip hop.
RTFA really, you are talking about a totally different thing than this cable is concerned with - rightly or wrongly, most likely wrongly. It's not about the digital data. Such a cable would be used to, connect, e.g, the digital out of a CD player to an external DAC. What these cable guys are worried about - beside their wallet - is the analog connection. I'd be surprised if it made a difference, but you are barking up the wrong tree. As for your question about the price of the equipment typically connected by such cable: Yeah, you can easily get a CD player and a DAC for several thousand dollars each. And yeah, those things in an adequate environment do make a difference in sound, and if you never heard a really good hifi set you don't know what you are talking about if you think otherwise. So if you think about it that way, if you spent, say, USD 50,000 on a very good hifi set that does make a difference, are you going to worry about a cable for 340, how stupid it may be?
At least partially silly but I do understand some of the banned items like baseball caps (or any other head wear like hoodies) as they are totally impolite to be worn indoors.
Pulling up every tweet which uses the words "Obama" and "assassinate" takes mere seconds (...) The difficulty is trying to figure out which ones should be taken seriously.
I'm going to hazard the guess that it's not the ones on Twitter.
Or people just won't be able to leave Internet TV on in the background all day. All the services I use ask me if I'm still watching at least every couple of hours, so it seems that they want to avoid unnecessary use.
Caps will have to go up, but ISPs and video services do not want people to use their bandwidth streaming 1080p video 24/7 to have something on in the background, so don't expect them to go away.
Maybe you are right, but this means is that these services cannot satisfy a very command demand people have, which traditional TV could satisfy. Something/someone will (have to) fill this hole
I'm not sure what dental plans you're concerned about. Most don't cover things like crowns and Hollywood veneers. Most cover regular checkups and fillings - maybe braces for kids if you pay extra. That's not a huge burden on the USA economy... not with 15 Trillion in debt - mostly spent on the military.
What, really? Jesus. Because here in Germany I have basic dental in the public health insurance, which covers, basic needs. On top of that I have private insurance for 288 EUR a year (24 per month) which covers: 100% of anything left out by the public insurance for basic work on teeth (like anesthesia in cases the public would not cover). 85% of costs for crowns, gold fillings, implants, etc.. Professional cleaning twice a year (which is around 150 EUR, so if you do that anyway it's already more than half of the cost of private insurance)
...and while it's nice that your granny is getting the surgery, I completely fail to see how "lost confidence" is justification for physical surgery, let alone having it become sufficient justification for payment from the public purse.
It's called prevention. If it diminishes the chances that due to lost confidence she will lose her abilities earlier, fall and break her hip requiring more expensive surgery, and require many more years of care, it may well be economically worth it. If helping out your eldery as a matter of course doesn't do it for you, or the fact that life is nicer with less miserable people around you.
No, what I'm saying is that your complaint about sid breaking is misplaced. systemd's problems in sid, if they exist, may be systemd's or Debian's bugs, I wouldn't know and you or the other AC just wrote a general unspecific complaint so it would be difficult to say. But even so, yes, software has bugs, this is why sid exists.
One Debian unstable breakage due to systemd is understandable.
Two Debian unstable breakages due to systemd is disgraceful.
A Debian unstable installation that will likely not boot properly after each update due to systemd, month after month, is unacceptable.
Unacceptable according to whom? The description says:
'"sid" is subject to massive changes and in-place library updates. This can result in a very "unstable" system which contains packages that cannot be installed due to missing libraries, dependencies that cannot be fulfilled etc. Use it at your own risk!'

Yeah, see my other comment a short while ago. I am an idiot.
You are right and I am an idiot. Thanks for setting me straight.
Which adblockers for FF mobile are there? Or for any browser?

What is Debian testing I wonder.
When Ubuntu rose it was not recommended to use (no security updates and so on) and normal people do not care for gigs of updates every day and an ever changing system and UI that has old bugs gone and new bugs appearing all the time.
If I have a 100Mb/s NIC, I'm only getting 10 MB/s on Linux? I doubt that.

If I want to listen to hip-hop/rap, I'll listen to a hip-hop/rap station - not one that claims to play african music.
What did you think, that all of African music is beating drums?
