I used to do that when I was living alone and working at home in a foreign country where I hardly knew anybody. It was also helpful in getting familiar with the local accent and slang, which were considerably different from where I grew up.
Oh, it's classic AlecStaar, all right--always evoking violent imagery--"smashed", "totalled", "beat", "destroyed". And always coming back an hour or two later pretending to be a different AC who just happens to agree with him, and just happens to use the same kind of phrasing. He's been following the exact same pattern for at least ten years. In part he's still trying to get even with Ars Technica and numerous other forums for banning him and his sockpuppet accounts.
Now you know why, whenever anybody else happens to voice agreement with anyone critical of him, he immediately accuses them of using sockpuppets. And why he goes to such great pains to make real sure everyone knows it's him, while posting AC (unless, of course, he's following up by trying to pretend to be some random helpful AC who just happens to... well, you get the idea).
I've produced images for several books using GIMP. Good enough for Apress, Wiley, and a couple of other publishers. I've also been using GIMP to produce images for about the last ten years or so for my job with one of the world's biggest software companies, and these appear to be good enough for use in some of the most heavily used online documentation on the planet.
I'd consider that at least as "professional" as some AC's unknown use cases.
Huh? I can install apps on an SD card, and I can easily move apps that are already installed between the unit and the card. This is true for my Galaxy S1, S3, and S5 phones, and my Tab 10.2 as well. All Samsung gear, but this seems to be an Android and not a Samsung feature.
I'm glad you can spot a typo and feel smug about it whilst completely ignoring the content of the message. Oh well, at least you didn't get your knickers in a knot over "flavour", so perhaps there's hope for you.
Back on topic--I'm already on record as not being particularly anxious to connect my stove to the Internet, have it fall under control of the first trojan or script kiddie that comes along one step (I'm being generous here) ahead of any security updates (now I'm being even more generous), and come home to a tempting dinner of roast flat, thanks very much.
One wonders how long it'll be before the insurance companies add questions about your home's IOT status along with the standard ones about having locks on all doors/windows and such. I have a hunch that telling them you're full-on IOT is not going to reduce your premiums.
(FYI, not all spell-checkers are created the same. For example, mine really wants me to capitalise "trojan".)
I was always under the impression that Christians regard the entire Bible as the revealed Word of God, and that you don't get to pick and choose. Thanks for correcting that nonsense they taught me in Religious Ed when I was a kid.
You do realise that your "wall claimed to be keeping enemies locked out while really keeping us locked in" argument can be turned right around, don't you?
The court rules the only way for this to be Constitutional is for everyone to register their religion.
That won't happen. The court (unlike you) is acquainted with cases such as Torcaso vs Watkins and Kiryas Joel VSD vs Grumet that make it clear that even requiring someone to state a religious affiliation in any interaction with the government is unconstitutional.

And with a paper that size, it'll only take one or two of them succeeding to replace it with a smoking crater.
I'll go start the popcorn--BRB.

But anything with "liberal" in it = anything with "social" in it = ... EVIL!!

It had *everything* to do with the Banana Wars. We're talking about what mattered to *Smedley*, not your opinion of him, nearly a century later.
And it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Adobe's not likely to port Photoshop to Linux until the day after Hell freezes over.

Oh, and my single change would require that systemd die in a fire.

Okay, here's the BBC's version, then. Enjoy.
(We have the Metro in Stockholm as well. Same thing, only in Swedish, with yesterday's Swedish news and lots of ads.)
There's already a solution. Put all major assets in a blind trust for duration of the term. Already being done in the case of the President.
You still have to feed a horse, even if you don't plan to ride him anywhere today.
And I think that "avoid unnecessary complexity" and "avoid unnecessary dependencies" are good rules for engineers to follow, even if you don't.
Security breeches? So the folks at Levi's are getting in on the IOT bandwagon as well?

Been using GIMP to do real, "professional" work for about 15 years.
But I'm not some AC with a propensity for self-serving generalisations, so what do I know.
Spot on.
Holy false dichotomy, Batman!
It is possible and indeed more realistic to assume that MOST of the refugees are the real deal and that a FEW of them might be plants.
The fact that a few of them are ISIS plants does not make all of them or even the majority of them ISIS operatives or even sympathisers.
MOST of them are folks who don't want to live in a war zone, or in a false "Caliphate" run by psychotics.

I'm thinking Poul Anderson, myself. Ever read The Cool War?
It's pretty sad when the National Review can't come up anything better to say about you than,
Of course, “he doesn’t pay attention to the questions he’s asked in front of cameras” isn’t the most heartening explanation.
+10. Sorry I can't give you one of those myself, but already posted in this discussion.
You can also look it up on TPB and get my torrent of the whole series. Don't forget to seed.
You're starting to sound a lot like APK.
We all knew all along that George Bush II is really a socialist.
You do realise that your "wall claimed to be keeping enemies locked out while really keeping us locked in" argument can be turned right around, don't you?
