Another sad thing about this is that it forges Windows UI style to Linux and other OS, and stops being consistent with the rest of the system.
Bwahahah. Linux has no UI consistency. At least, you could have, but then you'd throw out half your applications. Sure, you can make them look almost the same, but the impression only lasts until the first file selection dialog.
Firefox is only consistent with GTK, which is the reason I don't use it on Windows. I like my dialogs to have a concept of "Apply" and "Cancel".
The Dymaxion was later exonerated when an investigation showed that the other driver had likely been at fault, but the damage wreaked by the negative press had condemned the project to the scrap heap of history.
And are you serious? People don't get that upset about traffic problems!
You clearly never lived in Budapest.
And who is forcing them to watch it? Your claims are absurd! I don't want to see gay people dance, and I haven't because I DON'T go to the parade in Oslo!
You're still judging out of context. For you, it's gay people dancing, and if you don't go, you don't really need to acknowledge their existence. Here, it instantly became a political event, with pressure from the liberals to push it through and threats from the far-right. It was all over the news for four days straight. You went to work and people talked about it. You went to the pub and people talked about it. There was literally no way you could avoid the topic without retreating from society until the hype is over.
It's also a question of external cultural influence. Ever heard the phrase "Hungarians celebrate crying"? There are no Hungarian holidays where we dance around on the street. We have no reason for it: from 1526 to 1989 our country has been either torn apart or under occupation. Our national holidays are about failed revolutions, failed fights for our freedom, and the execution of our leaders. Any public celebration that involves dancing around is basically a slap in the face to those of us who value our cultural identity.
I don't expect you to understand it, but please, try to look at the context before jumping to conclusions.
It doesn't matter how he got that information: that's breaking other laws, and there are other punishments for it. Also, he didn't create those bugs, he merely used what was already there.
To complete my analogy: I may be a robber, but I'm not the one whose job it was to build a complete wall in that house.
The Netherlands clearly illustrates what is *normal* for EU countries.
Is Hungary EU enough for you? Also note that there is a significant difference between being anti-gay and being anti-parade. Most people I know don't care one bit what hole you want to shove it in, but they get pissed when you force them to think about it and block main roads in a city with heavy traffic problems.
Different countries have different cultures, and that's not a bad thing. You just need to stop judging everyone on Earth based on your society.
"Abnormal behavior"... You know, like disagreeing with the government about what the definition of that may be.
Not to mention this is the EU we're talking about: a place with 23 different official languages. With this kind of diversity, there's probably nothing that can be classified as "abnormal".
Non-EU example: In the Netherlands, the Gay Pride is a cultural event. In Serbia, protesters beat the shit out of them. In Moscow, the police did. Which one of these is normal, and to whom?
While I am a linux/gpl fanboi, i think the bsd distros don't have this problem because they have much stricter people at the top of their kernels, and i think this is yet another sign that Linus should not be the only one running the show.
Heh. BSD doesn't have this problem because nobody cares enough about them to contribute enough code. You don't really have to think about feature creep at 3 patches per week.
Another thing it might notice is the same person coming back to the front of a convenience store, waiting a minute, then leaving, then coming back again. Most people only walk in, walk out - this is abnormal.
So now I'm verboten to look at the lottery numbers on the door each Sunday morning? Either you flag every alarm as OK or people will get pissed off that you question them about perfectly legal activities.
This might just be the thing needed to finally get the cameras off the streets.
Mod parent up. Said AI first needs to distinguish between "activity" and "the wind blew a leaf across the screen". Then you need to distinguish between "lights a cigarette" and "lights the fuse on dynamite".
So, if it already does all that, just one more question: how do you define "criminal and terrorist activities" programmatically when not even the law is clear? Even shooting people can be a non-criminal act.
This makes this frequent gesture better by pausing the music for you.
I believe the correct solution is to allow a one-ear mode, and to retain the functionality of the pause/play button at all times. Insert two, remove one: playback stops. Insert only one: playback starts.
Nobody gets to tell me how many ears to use for listening to music, tyvm.
This is a better question than the mods seem to appreciate. They deny you the ability to listen with only one ear, while keeping in touch with the outside world with the other.
It's a travesty of education that we're turning out college students who have studied cursive for years and will never use it again, yet who have to hunt-and-peck on the keyboard.
Whoa. In the Hungarian school system, you read and write cursive before they let you in second grade. What do you mean by "studied for years"? It's not a fucking PhD.

That we still use fossils.
More precisely,
The Dymaxion was later exonerated when an investigation showed that the other driver had likely been at fault, but the damage wreaked by the negative press had condemned the project to the scrap heap of history.
and a fag in the other.
You do realize not everyone is British here, right?
Who should be taxed more?
Allow me to propose better questions:
1. Who should be shot for spending the USA into a $12 trillion debt?
2. How do we start spending less?
And are you serious? People don't get that upset about traffic problems!

Pictures of burgers are representative of the type of burger you can expect
...as differing from other type-establishing photo, not in relation to the actual burger itself.
Don't underestimate the arrogance of an attorney, or the ability of people to be swayed by theatrics over substance.
The US has no jurisdiction here. I'm told they don't have it in the UK, either, but that's up for debate.
couldn't he fix them himself? With supervision, I mean.
If I tell everyone that some houses have a big fucking gap where a door should be, am I responsible for not installing one?

It appears you can actually search it, so we threw it out.

I'm not up on all the new sissy languages. Do any of them have anything analogous to the Record construct?
The only examples I can think of that don't are Brainfuck and Intercal.
Will you guys please stop the "then don't buy it" bullshit? This is a discussion, not eBay.

Nice summary, isn't it?
Ad-laden slideshows are not my favorite sources of information.

i could probably manage to use it, more or less, if i had to, but its been many, many years since i had to.
You don't do advanced math, do you?
