I mean, if you're going to be a whore to studios who clearly have no intention of supporting Linux, you had may as well set up a Windows dual-boot and play your game software in Windows.
I tried several flavors of kde, I really like it, but it just isn't good enough. I had huge problems with Kubuntu (several years ago: kde 4.2, I think): no simple tool available to set up wifi connection, an update that broke my desktop entirely... I decided I'd try it again later. Some months ago, I installed an opensuse with kde on my work laptop (a dell e6510). I had some performance issues and I didn't know where they came from: some database update scripts took almost 2 times as long as on my coworker's similar pc to complete, and sometimes the load would freeze the desktop for several seconds. I did not think it was kde, but I tried and installed xfce. The performance problems disappeared instantly. And they came back if i chose kde as my desktop manager when turning my computer on.
More recently I decided to change distribution, and went for lmde with xfce. I don't think I'll try kde again.
An interesting theory, but with a slight flaw: The earliest manuscripts don't say 666, but 616. It's very possible that 666 was a corruption that displaced the earlier number.
Except that one of facebook's main usages is to reconnect or keep in touch with people you don't see everyday (old schoolmates, family from far away, etc...), using an alias keeps the people you'd like to find you from doing so.
Maybe you'd find them... but if both of you are using an alias, you'd never find each other.
Roman soldiers walked on the right side of the road, because their shield was on their left hand. That's why most of european countries ride on the right side of the road. English knights had their lance in the right hand when jousting, so they had to ride left to be able to strike each other. That's why UK rides on the wrong side of the road.
Technically speaking, but wouldn't eugenics be part of evolution? I mean if a species had self-selection, wouldn't it fall under natural selection?
Well, if we had a clue what made for a better human, it might be useful.
Alas, we didn't know squat then, and don't know a whole lot more now....
Evolution is not about being better, it's about being more adapted to the environment. If the environment is a bunch of people practicing eugenics following arbitrary criteria, an individual meeting those criteria would be better fit for this environment than another individual who doesn't meet them.
Though it wouldn't be natural selection, since "natural" means not engineered by humans. It would be artificial selection, but it works the same.
Out of genuine interest, what makes a well written (emphasis on WELL WRITTEN) PHP app so much harder to maintain than an equally well written *.NET app?
You have to actually read and write code, you can't just click checkboxes until it works. It is really hard.
You can't do that if you want your app to look nice. Plus it's much faster to develop using Objective-C if you know what you are doing. Developing in Java is too confining, something best left to web developers.
2. Allow Android comparability. Android Apps are Java Based. Apple can put in a java interpreter and run Android apps. (So to the buyer... This things runs Android and iOS apps while this only runs Android... I guess I will pick the first one)
This way, every developper would make their apps for android as it would run on both platforms, and the validation process would mean that every single iphone app will be 2 weeks late compared to the android version. Great idea.
the tubes are filled with air, so you must take into account the weight of the air. total should be close to 2.1kg/m. the material isn't really this light in itself. It's like making a 1m box with paper and claiming it weights ten g/m.
I think there are very few, if not none, things where C would be the best language to use anymore. But when it was created, it was another world, and low level languages were needed because there was a lot less computing power available, and you didn't want to waste any.
But the larger part of the C heritage is not in application written in C, but in everything written in languages derived from C (like C++), or derived from languages derived from C (like almost every language less than 30 years old).
I think you should stop caring about version numbers. They are just numbers after all. I personally prefer having small updates on something like a weekly basis allowing yourself to slowly accept changes rather than having large releases every couple of months and have a paradigm shift shoved down your throat.
I would be cool with frequent small update with any numbering system, if it didn't mean that half add-ons would stop working because of the new version number (whether or not the update actually broke the extension; most of the time the only change required is to declare "this extension works with firefox version x.y")

Welcome to the Apple world.
I use xfce on mint (lmde).

616 is from Marvel!
Cool, there will be chicks with three boobs soon :D :D
Yes, but unfortunately they'll look like they're made from plastic.
So, no different than most two-boobed chicks here?
I didn't even know vikings had robots here on earth!

Want a real shock? Grab a 20 year old copy if Windows XP. I's still usable! (at least as usable as a Windows OS can be)
Good luck finding one.
Exactly. My favourite wedding was my uncle's - we hired out a small mansion/hotel for a weekend and just had a family get together :)
That's what I call a big, formal event.

I wouldn't know, I only code in php.

In short: If you want your kids to be good at sports, fuck in april.

No, but as a rule, they all apply logic and reason, and generally reach the same conclusions because of that.
Logic and reason? In a court? In what universe?

Most of everything computer-related owes something to C.
Without his work, the whole world would not be the same.
Thank you Dennis.
No, the difference is that Chrome doesn't fuck with things on every new version, and Firefox DOES.
