    Can you expand on that? I have really enjoyed interacting with the Ubuntu community. Well, technically, I use Lubuntu, it is still the same community that I interact with.

    Also, to bag on you a little bit, I just checked and I am willing to bet better performance from my daily driver. It's a couple of years old now, but I drive a nice 6-series. It's a nice sleeper. ;-)

    Also, I can corner and put all (just) 445 ponies on the pavement.

    Meh... For 10k and another 20k, you could have had a fair to middling 911.

    Chances are, with the price you paid, you don't even have an independent rear suspension. If you did, you'd just have a fairly modern Mustang and wouldn't have bothered to mention it. They're a dime a dozen.

    How the fuck is that informative? Russia, as much as you may want them to be, is not actually a formal enemy. They weren't even a formal enemy during the Cold War. That's why use were charged with Espionage and not Treason.

    I am well within the wealthy category. I pretty much do all that stuff, and more, for myself. Well, no pool. I hate pools.

    Belief that humans are, generally speaking enlightened, is sheer hubris. I suspect we will always retain our base instincts, prejudices, and predisposition for violence. We kinda suck.

    They don't sell software, they license it.

    India is right full of, comparatively speaking, efficient, public, mass-transportation. You should see their commuter rail infrastructure. Even really remote villages are often reliably serviced by both rail and bus.

    Wouldn't you want to bias it towards them, in order to facilitate their being more productive?

    I am getting a kick out of this thread. But, suffice to say, you hit the nail on the head. Most traffic problems stem from piss-poor driving. In theory, we could pretty much eradicate the need to stop traffic. Alas, we're way too stupid for that.

  23. Re: ext4 baby ! on OneDrive Has Stopped Working On Non-NTFS Drives (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I have to be frank. I am hard pressed to have sympathy for someone who had a non-standard configuration AND relied on Microsoft OneDrive. I spent my last empathy on somebody more important, to me at least Microsoft could announce that they are going to start murdering children and assuming governorship of a third-world country, solely to exploit their wealth. They could say they are coming to your house, just to piss on your couch, and I'm pretty much out of sympathy.

    I fucking spent it. Really, I spent my sympathy. I think the last bulk amount was spent in Rawanda. I think... The final straw was here, in my own country.

    Seriously, people keep going back for more. People keep going backto Microsoft and paying Microsoft just so they can say to Microsoft, 'Please, sir. May I have another?'

    I stand up for microsoft, pretty often. But, if you pay them money, with any other expectation of getting fucked, you're an idiot. It might not even be Microsoft who fucks you, directly. It may be a contractor, or an external hacker who has varied sets of morals. You're getting fucked.

    It's not unlike Oracle. You will get fucked by Oracle.

    But... Is there any path where they don't get fucked? You even get fucked as a Linux user.

    You might just as well buy good lube.

    Not that it matters, but I see no confirmation that those six people only voted twice.

    In an ideal world, anything less than 100% legitimacy is unacceptable.

    Sorta off-toic; why do you think you were moderated down?

    I am not actually sure. It says 'troll' but that doesn't seem accurate. Even if I didn't agree with you, I see nothing trolling in your response.

    To be clear, fraudulent votes do happen. We don't actually know precise numbers. We do know (have every reason go believe, more accurately) that they don't occur frequently enough to have changed the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

    I also will add that I have no problems with them investigating this. Finding more precise numbers is good.
