It would be nice to make those coal-rolling dickheads inhale all of the crap they deliberately exhaust, though. They really give other diesel drivers a bad name.
ADS-B is not powered (in whole or in part) by aviation hobbyists. They are just piggybacking with receivers for flight tracking.
The ADS-B system itself was designed for plane-to-plane communications to improve situational awareness. Ground-based ATC or hobbyists are not required to make the system work.
I couldn't get VLC to play videos smoothly about 5-6 years ago so I used mplayer instead. Then mplayer2. Now mpv. I've had no reason to try to switch back to VLC.
I'm not the anon, but I also did this a little over a decade ago. I made a separate account on a casual gaming site that had chess. I think I was just curious how the program would stack up to real people. Some of the [presumably real] players at the top gave Chessmaster a real challenge. But I think the only times I lost were when I inputed a move wrong. I quit when people started asking me for advice...
As someone who touch-types Dvorak at home, and has to switch back to QWERTY at work, I think I can safely say my experience trumps your few symbol keys moving around...
Why aren't you using Dvorak at work? I use Dvorak at home and on my work computer as well.
And 600HP is nothing. I've got a good friend from college who gets almost 1200HP in his GTR (1192 WHP / 1402 crank, actually). I don't see him wrapping it around vertical objects.
The GTR (unless you are referring to the Ultima GTR) is front-engined and all-wheel drive. One with 1400 hp probably has a tremendous amount of turbo lag as well. I really don't think you can compare that to the mid-engined, naturally aspirated V10 Carrera GT.
Ah, that's right. I recall having to push some button on the garage door receiver and then do the learning sequence within a certain number of seconds (30?).
My car has HomeLink in the mirror. I believe in order to learn the code the remote needs to be close to the mirror (though I didn't test from further away). For rolling codes, I had to capture several button presses in a row (about 5 times, if I recall correctly). I'm pretty sure the captures need to be sequential to learn the rolling code.
I ditched Amarok for Clementine a while back as well. It just works better. I don't see how adding a bunch of new features is a "Return to the Origin"...
Immediately after updating to 21 I noticed the browser seemed awfully sluggish. They re-enabled smooth scrolling... Turning it [back] off fixed the problem, but why couldn't it keep my previous setting?
** Seriously, I haven't seen any other desktop do that. Granted I've only ever used Windows and Gnome, but neither of them does it. Is it really so hard to remember the open applications as shutdown and open that at startup?
Xfce does this as well. I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and this is one of my favorite features.
We are offering a trade-in program for at least one series of models, but I'd guess it's still around the six-figure range when you include installation and such. There are plenty of feature advantages (e.g. bigger database) of the new models to provide incentive to upgrade as well. A good portion of our sales are upgrades already, either from our old systems or from a competitor's product.
As long as it works, there will always be someone who will still use it instead of upgrading.
My company still buys loads of 3.5" floppies to send monthly data updates to our legacy customers. Since we charge them $X,XXX per year for the subscription we don't want to drop support. It would cost most our customers $XXX,XXX to upgrade to our newer product which supports USB drives and SD cards, so it will be a while before we stop buying 3.5" floppy disks. Our bigger problem is our slightly newer legacy products which use ZIP disks, since the drives and disks for those are getting harder to find in bulk.

They're inhaling it on purpose already... https://i.imgur.com/GDlU040.jp...

I don't own or use anything mentioned in that article and intend to keep it that way.

Interesting that the Dodge Viper is in the bottom five. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the summary (instead of, say, the #6 Land Rover).
Perhaps even if it was true the government would still claim it was a lie?
Mach 7 is about 1/5th of the way to escape velocity, at least.

I don't see how this lets me do anything that my receiver doesn't. Plus my receiver has 7 HDMI inputs instead of just 1...
BetterFS and ButterFS are both correct. http://www.linux.com/news/featured-blogs/167-amanda-mcpherson/22449-a-conversation-with-chris-mason-on-btrfs-the-next-generation-file-system-for-linux

Ferrari built a car that could do 201 mph in 1987. Glad to see they're improving...

You can still order certain models without Windows: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/thinkpad-laptops-with-dos.shtml

I think 10.10 is a better choice for a netbook at least until this issue gets resolved... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/760131
Except that that is wrong. A little distribution called Ubuntu 11.04 uses 2.6.38 which is affected. But no one uses Ubuntu, right? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes

Yep. And all variations. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes
