I certainly don't expect 100% perfection when bombing anything, which is why I always call bullshit when our politicians say we'll use "smart" bombs or "surgical air strikes" when trying to justify attacking someone.
Reference: every military action we've taken in my entire lifetime.
For something that's so language-based in the first place, localizing the icons makes perfect sense to me. In Spanish, "N" (Negrita), "c" (cursiva), and "s" (subrayada).
Perhaps a trickier problem is what to do when a language doesn't use the same type conventions. Does $LANGUAGE use underlining at all? Does it use some completely different convention?
That sounded really unfamiliar, so I opened Libre Office (v4.2.8.2 on Ubuntu) to see what the letters on the buttons are. B for bold, i for italics, and u for underline. I'd post a screenshot if that was a/. thing to do.
You say this like it's some grand revelation. What would be the point otherwise?
"Here, you can download this binary. It's GPL, but you can't have the code." makes no sense.
Currently, the lowest price I can find on plain old Amtrak service from Baltimore to New York is $77 if I leave next week. (Less than half the distance between LA and SF.) Cut that train trip time in half, and I'd pay the extra cost over a Bolt bus.
Comparing the professional musician market to the professional programming market seems dubious at best because the demand for those two services is radically different. Being a professional musician has always been about somehow standing out from the other millions of kids who want to be a star too. On the other hand, we're pretty much tripping over work to do in the programming world. If you can write code, and you don't absolutely suck, you will have work of some sort. It won't be rock star work, but it'll be an honest job that pays a comfortable living wage.
I used to do some web development for a company that primarily resold other peoples' software, and offered training on it. I got in some pretty epic arguments with this one sales guy that always said the website didn't "look like a startup website." I could see myself just sending him one of these and asking if that was what he was looking for.
As a 'newsworthy' person, surely Goebbels' diary can be excerpted for the purpose of writing a biography, right? I could see the estate's point if Random House was simply republishing Goebbels' diary.
NoScript is currently showing twenty-eight (28) scripts running in my browser (I temporarily permitted all to see what the actual number was). Still kind of a lot, but where did you get 90?
I think what the OP is getting at is that if enough people don't trust Lenovo, and Lenovo goes under as a result, it would be a great lesson to the other manufacturers that putting this sort of crapware on their machines doesn't pay in the long run. It's not an unreasonable point of view, but I think you're right, because I think the Superfish debacle won't be enough to drive Lenovo out of business. All we have left is the carrot of being a potential future customer since the stick of beating down Lenovo won't be effective.
How much does it cost to put a person in minimum security prison for a year? If we jailed enough people to be a deterrent, the cost to society would be enormous. Certalnly higher than the cost of piracy.
The population of Wilmington is 70,851, and New Castle has 538,479 people total, including Wilmington. Harrison County has 65,631 people including Marshall. Wilmington has more people than the entire Harrison County. Yeah, Marshall is a very small city in a rural area. Maybe it's not Oklahoma rural, but compared to the east coast in general, it's pretty damn rural.

Which is how we'll know who to put up against the wall and shoot.
You know, a good bus driver kind of _is_ a hero. They take on a huge responsibility for crappy pay. Unfortunately, many of them are rather bad at it, but it's pretty understandable that anybody with any sense would choose another line of work.
I was with you until you suggested suicide. Please don't ever suggest to anybody that they kill themselves, particularly as ammo in an argument. It's petty.
You know, I read that article, and I walked away from it thinking the guy just really doesn't understand what exactly a scripting language is for, and how they work. For example, he was so incensed at the === operator, contending that == in PHP is useless. But it's quite useful. If you're testing for "truthy" values such as true, 1, or a character string, you use ==. If you need an actual boolean, use ===.

I've been rolling my eyes at "surgical strikes" for as long as I can remember.

I think you mean Cassini-Huygens? Galileo was a Jupiter probe.
That all sounds great except for the me getting injured part. I'd rather Richie Rich was deterred in the first place.
Fortunately, the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) made it into space before it could be killed by another republican adminstration.

Fine: Here's the file
Also, SoundCloud is pretty well-known. I'm sorry it's not up to your standards.

It seems pretty unlikely that the pilots in this crash were in it for anything other than the love of their jobs.

Yes, I'd love to see more use of open source software in government. Find me an free software replacement for Systems Toolkit, and we'll talk.
