    Well, there was also a treaty on conventional armed forces in Europe between the USSR and NATO countries that limited the amount of NATO troops and equipment in Europe. It was broken by the NATO expansion.

    Total Commander (for Windows) is a mature software, there is no particular need to develop it further.

  6. Re:mcdonalds to get sued? on WHO: Drinking Extremely Hot Coffee, Tea 'Probably' Causes Cancer (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't buy these arguments. You see, I am a tea aficionado. I usually have about 30 kinds of tea at home - not the teabag crap but better quality loose teas (15 euros for 100 g on average, goes up to 100 euros for 100 g for a very good gyokuro). If the tea is too hot, most of the finer aromas are impossible to taste, the tea is just hot and bitter. Yes, it smells good, but tastes like crap. 40C is about the right drinking temperature, it still smells good but now also has a variety of taste.

  7. One would hear the difference. I used to be an AMD only guy for more than a decade, but then Core2Duo came out and suddenly I was able to have a fast CPU without a fan. And even now I have a passive cooled i5 - same cooler BTW as the Core2Duo from years ago.

    Maybe he was talking about Belarus or Transnistria - KGB still exists there. Besides, FSB would be the wrong intelligence agency in this case - they are responsible for internal security, so they are more like the FBI. SVR RF is the foreign intelligence counterpart. The mistake is pretty common because KGB used to be responsible for both federal crime investigation and also for foreign intelligence.

    not so in french (plural) or slavic languages (either plural or in the possessive case where there is no clear difference between singular and plural). maybe the singular form is common for germanic languages, but i only speak german and english from that group, so can't say about swedish or danish.

  14. Re: Brexit on EU Exploring Idea of Using Government ID Cards As Mandatory Online Logins (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wrong on both accounts. If UK wants to keep access to the EU market, they still will have to pay into the EU budget and follow the EU laws and regulations,but without the benefit of being able to vote, just like Norway and Switzerland. This is why i am in favour with Brexit - so the brits will finally lose their special privileges and can't introduce more stupid laws tailored for their financial industry protection.

  15. Re: PayPal does something for their 'vendors'? on PayPal Denies Twitch Troll $50,000 Worth In Refunds (ubergizmo.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    In the EU Paypal is, in fact, a bank and has been a bank for years. They have acquired a banking licence in Luxembourg after EU decided that they either have to be a bank or to stop providing their services.

    What's preventing the rich dude from paying a lawyer $5k over that $500 case?

    Nothing, but the rich dude will only have the statutory fees reimbursed in the case he wins the lawsuit. The lawyer fees are specified by the law on remuneration of attorneys, so if you want to pay more than that, it will make your lawyer happy, but won't matter in the court.

    Water vapour is zero sum and without other greenhouse gases would just condense and rain out, that is why it is ignored.

  20. Might have been true some years ago, but thr current state of Linux desktop environments is so bad that Windows 10 feels fine in comparison. I still haven't recovered from the PTSD after trying to cope with Unity. Current KDE and Gnome are hair-raisingly terrible and XFCE makes Windows 8 feel user friendly.

    Well, there was one - when making a new install of Windows 7, especially pre-SP1, it took a whole day to patch it to the current state. This was why I've installed Windows 10. But since Microsoft has finally released a kinda-sorta SP2 for Windows 7, this argument has become moot again.
