Nope, my suggestion is "actually try ", instead of going "The most benefits to the people who complain the most!". All you can ever do is attempt to treat people fairly. You might not always succeed, but the opposite is to purposefully treat them unfairly, like with affirmative action and other discrimination based on sex/race.
You are trying to replace a potential injustice with a systematic and purposeful one.
Men (and women) assume a married 35 year old women looking for a stable job is more likely to take maternity leave than a man in the same situation, and thus account for it in the hiring decision (often unconsciously), or that a woman with 2 kids is more likely to take sick leave than the man with two kids.
Employers also often assume someone with a bachelors degree is more capable than one without, while in a fair number of cases it is true, that does not make it universal. They are incapable of knowing everything about their potential employees, so some generalisations will happen to an extent, but generally if it is overly pertinent to the job, they will ask or test instead of assuming.
That, and AA is good when it's *for* white males. Bush got into Yale as a "legacy" (he got a benefit based on who his daddy was).
Who says I support that?, kick those kinds of things to the curb also.
By what standard disadvantaged? For someone who cares about family the typical woman has things a lot better than the typical man who wants to be able to spend as much time as possible with the children.
I'm hesitant to consider "different life priorities result in different outcomes" as disadvantage.
I'm also hesitant to consider "overall x earns more than y, so lets make their wages even" fair when the jobs can be completely different.
Next thing you know people will start saying "Bankers earn more than McDonalds employees, lets fix the wage inequality by treating them the same"
Or "hey, that guy that took two years off to look after his kids, lets promote him over this other guy who's pretty much the same but stayed the duration"
Different jobs, different hours, and different life priorities end up with different results.
This "I am a victim" culture needs to stop. People should be treated only by criteria relevant to the task. Affirmative action is akin to an eye for an eye.
''It's one of the reasons women are more likely to live in poverty in their twilight years, because of the gap in retirement savings,'' Ms Broderick told BusinessDay. ''One of the largest contributions is women's unpaid caring work.''
This has nothing to do about history, this has to do with women doing different unpaid/lesser paying work and winding up with less money at the end of the day, if you take a _different_ lesser valued job or _less_ hours you will get less pay, this is life.
If you go by the same profession, the same uninterrupted (single, no children) time of progression and the same number of hours if hourly, women are actually doing better than men in many regards.
The 'solution' to men getting paid more for overtime/more dedication to the job by ignoring family shouldn't be to just raise womens pay just because they have different life priorities, not putting working yourself to death as one of them.
Just because you have a penis or vagina shouldn't affect your pay rate. Feminism is the art of preaching superiority under the guise of egalitarianism.
If they don't need to alter the documents you send them, why aren't you sending it as pdf?
Also if you want to make something look really nice, Word is probably a bad choice. LaTeX is lovely in that regard. Higher learning curve sure but once you've used it a bit you'll never go back to crappy old things like word.
Are there any freely available documents large enough that you can link to that demonstrate this problem?
Not saying it doesn't exist, just have not encountered it and like to test things, tend to use LaTeX myself only using LibreOffice for opening other peoples stuff.
Care to make those same arguments about the original copper phone network? How about the electricity grid?
Might want to check your history on that. Initial deployment of electricity was done where it made the most sense first, and it took decades to be available to all.
The most wasteful and expensive parts of the nbn seem to be down already, among them a 3,800km link from darwin to toowomba servicing only 160k people.
I never understood this "we need to put fibre to thousands of km in the middle of nowhere with only a few thousand population" mentality, surely the cities and denser populations provide better cost/benefit.
The leader of the Liberal/National coalition - Tony Abbot - is a truly nasty piece of work. He is an intolerant bigot.
Because he recognizes that behaviours can be influenced by nature and not only nurture? We shouldn't expect everything to always come 50% down the line because people are allowed to choose what they want to do in life. All we can do is try to make things fair to everyone involved and try to eliminate irrelevant criteria being used for problems.
Don't get me wrong, he is a giant douche at times, but a labor world where we give preferential treatment to people for irrelevant things like sex or race can be far worse.
I'm surprised they haven't put forward policies like the UK labour party in regards to selection. It fits their affirmative action stances perfectly (although outright banning males seems to be too blatent for most affirmative action groups).
In regards to infrastructure, yes fibre needs to be deployed, but overbuilding infrastructure just wastes money in the end. Get the low hanging fruit first and then follow it up with growth as the cost/benefit is useful.
Just because we can hook up uluru with fibre, doesn't mean the money to do so couldn't be spent in better ways. The way it is being handled is as a giant prestige project.
Why does analog suck for archiving? sure you can't just get a hash of the data and tell at a moments notice whether it is exactly as it was, however you also can't store a hard disk in a vault for 70 years and have a high expectation of it working.
It's not waste, it's fuel that isn't allowed to be burnt because of stupid regulations.
As soon as reprocessing is allowed none of this becomes an issue any more, if it's radioactive enough to be a problem it's radioactive enough to be used as fuel.
People whose goal is to share on "Flickr and Google Plus" don't need DSLRs or 4K displays. People who don't realize that grain is a film characteristic don't either.
He probably meant image noise
When viewed at less than 100% multiple pixels are averaged resulting in lower image noise being shown for the pixels that are displayed.
At 100% the image is also softer because of the bayer filter nature of colour imaging sensors used in dslrs.
But at these resolutions it _really_ doesn't matter. If viewing fullscreen the screen will be higher resolution than most people can easily discern anyway,.
As for the other niceties that ext2 has over FAT32; like native symlinks, support for larger files, slightly better permission concept, being more efficient on directories with many, etc. don't factor in, since on USB disks, these don't really come into play.
Bullshit, how are people supposed to transfer their 7gb movie rip on their 32gb usb sticks without resorting to some sort of insane file splitting?
While they do technically run linux, the overwhelming majority are still running 2.4 and running on hardware so pathetic it is ridiculous. With the software being unable to be updated (even most dd-wrt hardware pieces are pretty weak)
Generic random modem in bridge mode going to a proper linux machine router.
Attach home network to second ethernet interface.
If you want wireless, use the linux machine as a wireless AP using a pci/e card of some description.
Consumer modems are shitty, the more you make them do the quicker they fail, as a pure modem they tend to last a fair bit longer and have less load applied.
Bonus is if/when the modem does die, the rest of the infrastructure still lives.
Even if not used for programs, that ram can be handy. Linux uses it as filesystem cache which is a hell of a lot quicker than ssd.

Sorry for probably coming off as belittling, it was not intended in that manner. It just came across as you were saying fedoras standards were lax, which as a testament to the work you and others are doing I would say they are most definitely not.

so your suggestion is "change human nature."

This "I am a victim" culture needs to stop. People should be treated only by criteria relevant to the task. Affirmative action is akin to an eye for an eye.
Different jobs get different pay. Even within the same job at the same pay rate men typically earn more through *gasp* overtime.
Once you factor in hours worked and breaks from work for children/other things, a lot of women are doing better than a lot of men.
In fact part time/casual women workers on average make more than their men counterparts, but I don't see anyone trying to fix that 'inequality'.
You don't fix unfair discrimination by introducing more unfair discrimination.
I think you didn't read the article
''It's one of the reasons women are more likely to live in poverty in their twilight years, because of the gap in retirement savings,'' Ms Broderick told BusinessDay. ''One of the largest contributions is women's unpaid caring work.''

The 'solution' to men getting paid more for overtime/more dedication to the job by ignoring family shouldn't be to just raise womens pay just because they have different life priorities, not putting working yourself to death as one of them.
With less hours comes less pay, and with year or longer interruptions from work along with other responsibilities comes delayed progression.
Women on average are paid more than men until about the time the majority of them have children.
Should we punish men for doing more overtime by claiming they are unfairly getting more money for having the gall to work longer hours?
Not to mention in the part time and casual areas women on average get far more money than men, what are we doing about that?
How many white men would change places with a black woman, for example?
In what context?
I think many people wouldn't mind a pay rise. Same job, same work, different pay because one is female.
Just because you have a penis or vagina shouldn't affect your pay rate. Feminism is the art of preaching superiority under the guise of egalitarianism.
The thing is, different criteria and focuses yields different results.
Choice in the OSS world usually comes from different goals and priorities of the projects when it comes to details.
Depends on your definition of "large"
All tasks big enough get broken up into smaller more manageable tasks where they can be, it just makes sense to.
If they don't need to alter the documents you send them, why aren't you sending it as pdf?

This may surprise you, but linux has had better hardware compatibility out of the box than windows for quite some time.
I don't expect linux to support windows games, just like I don't expect modern windows to support dos games. It's legacy.

Why not just use OTR with pidgin? Supports any protocol you'd care to mention.
It would not make sense for a distro like Fedora to be as stringent with packaging policies as stable Debian is,
Have you packaged something for fedora before? It's packaging policies are quite stringent.
Here's a portion of it

Well, who the fuck are you guys to decide someone else's identity for them!?
There are people out there who legitimately think they are wolves in a human body, shall we start calling them wolves also?, same deal.
They can call themselves what they want, but it won't change what they are.
