HIndi and Urdu are essentially the same language, genius.
And FWIW, I have numerous Indian colleagues whose English is just fine, no more or less "bad" than that of any of the other dozens of non-native speakers I work with daily. Possibly because English is one of India's official languages.
I edit fookin' XML all fookin' day, every fookin' day, been fookin' doing it for fookin' years, and it pays pretty fookin' well, too. Want to make something of it, matey?
I have never run anything *but* Linux on any of the laptops I've ever owned (mostly Acers and one HP).
I've had one or two cases where I had to extract the Windows wifi driver or to build a 64-bit version of a wifi driver from source. And I've not even bothered to worry about onboard wifi since smartphones and tethering became a thing. I have a 12-year-old Acer still running an ancient distro that for some reason doesn't support the built-in card reader, and I already had a couple of USB card readers on hand when I bought it so I never bothered to figure out why.
It makes sense, especially for 8th graders and below, to not dive into the murky waters of having to hack convoluted configuration files to get a driver working.
True but not germane, as there are numerous other Linux distros that work just as well out of the box.
Oh, I know. Nobody in my immediate family uses a mobile, that being one of the reasons. I didn't get one before moving overseas, so I've never had to put up with that.
Audio of back-to-back Jefferson Airplane concerts from October 1966--Sygne Anderson's farewell show with the band, followed by Grace Slick's first one on the following evening, both at the Fillmore. Part of the Anderson gig was eventually (sometime in the 2000s, I think) released commercially.
She died earlier this year--on the same day as Paul Kantner, IIRC.
There are many American trolls on/., you'll see them foaming at the mouth about Russia. That's basically the party line (or lack thereof) on foreign policy these days if you're an Obama or Clinton supporter. Issues like investigating Hillary Clinton's vast and deep corruption is a far more important issue than some propaganda-spewing acolyte crying "but...but...but...RUSSIA!"
We laugh at their weak attempts of distraction as opposed to those of a master in the craft such as Vladislav Surkov.
Put yourself in Comey's place--he might as well toss a coin. No matter which side lands up, half the country will be screaming for his head on a plate.
Also, Putin is getting his email laundry aired. I'm rather shocked/. hasn't had a post regarding the Cyber Hunta email leak (http://http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ukraine-crisis/payback-russia-gets-hacked-revealing-putin-aide-s-secrets-n673956)
And to you, the viewer, they did look alike. The revelation: one of them was black on the left and white on the right; the other the other way around.
The beauty of that: you, the viewer, in all likelihood did not even notice that their colours were reversed until you got told so. Very poignant, and you shared the utter astonishment of the Enterprise crew that this was an issue at all.
I saw that episode for the first time when I was about 6 years old--about a year after I learned what the WHITE ONLY/COLORED ONLY signs were all about.
It still comes back to me whenever I encounter racism.
How I wish this were the case in Sweden. Fortunately, the eniro.se app IDs most of them and they get added to the block list as soon as it stops ringing.
Look at what happened to the Aral Sea under the Soviets. The sea doesn't really exist anymore! (except as two small pocket remnants)
I've seen what's left of it from 10,000 metres. Bit of an eye-opener when I realised what it was, and that it didn't look much at all like what's shown on maps made just 50 or 60 years ago.
Maybe, just maybe, I want to transfer some files between my computer and my phone, and I don't especially want them going over the air, particularly via wireless networks and/or third-party storage that I neither control nor know with certainty to be secure?
And I'm not necessarily talking about porn, either. I sometimes handle data that is confidential and/or proprietary, and which I'm obligated by company rules and/or by law to safeguard. If I'm careless with it, it could mean losing my job. Or going to prison. "But all the cool kids...!" is not likely to wash in either case.

Well, good for him, then. I'm sure you're very proud.

I just turned 55, yet in the last 2 years or so I've managed to learn to read and write a couple thousand Chinese characters.
It's amazing the things you can do with 30 minutes a day and a brain that's been properly schooled in how to learn things.
And you sound like dead wood. No-one wants to do your work for you while you worry about "fitting in socially".
Same here.
Crimea democratically voted to cede back to "Mother Russia"
For anybody who believes that, I've got some prime beachfront property in Izhevsk you might be interested in...
Please just feel free to stick with Windows, then.
Seriously--choice being a thing and all...

Keroff did not say "When you're using open source applications...". He said "When you're using open source software...".
Since you don't seem to understand what an "operating system" is, let me provide you a helpful definition:
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs.
Now... you were saying something about someone being a "dimwit"...?
It's all systemd anyway.
It makes sense, especially for 8th graders and below, to not dive into the murky waters of having to hack convoluted configuration files to get a driver working.

...but the headline is a bit clickbait-y.
How about you let us make our own judgements?
In this case, the facts seem to be that Apple follows the law, and that it's reluctant to enable a back door.
Oh, I know. Nobody in my immediate family uses a mobile, that being one of the reasons. I didn't get one before moving overseas, so I've never had to put up with that.

TFTFY.
...this could have been prevented with a six-dollar tube of epoxy from the local Wal-Mart.
Comey ... What a dumb ass.
That's neither charitable nor true.

What happened to "producer"?

Telemarketing calls to cell phones are illegal.

"Damn, I forgot to go to the ATM."
"Oh, shit--I left my wallet at home."
But do go on.
BTW, the debit-or-credit thing is limited to Australia AFAIK. European card readers don't have this issue.
