It most certainly is if support is focused on the wrong packages and features because they don't have the data to make informed decisions.

Third-world country edge-cases. Murder is still murder. The preponderance of donations in first-world countries saves lives, but is so rarely done despite the pressing demand. When you or family member needs a life-saving transplant, whi

Distros shouldn't waste time and effort on supporting and packaging language-specific, high-churn code packages except in very limited circumstances. Let the language specific-tools do those. Upstream is best, local fragmentation is

False dichotomy fallacy. Linux distributions need to engineer for side-by-side installation of multiple versions and not get tied up to those common locations. nix is just one example as an interesting idea, while Homebrew and stow are be

More "innovations" which "justify" their own existence with novelty, but eliminate useful properties, backward compatibility, interoperability and standards with blissful ignorance. Standardization is a Good Thing(TM)..

Those three (3) Hillary speeches must be absolute mana from heaven because her standard contract includes a client-paid stenographer, in addition to the $200k/ea. Only fools would give these access-buying, crooks a dime... unless they

Some folks just haven't heard of stealth mode and formation. It's hard to call something BS when they're not yet ready or publicly-launched. PS: Gawker is bankrupt, content quality on Gizmodo is also suffering terribly.

Please leave it like countries with good organ donation opt-out policies. Speaking of which, become an organ donor if you live in an opt-in country.

Opt-in, like optional security, rarely gets used.

Yup. In undergrad lower-division courses, we were explicitly informed of this and tradeoffs of proprietary toolchain features. And, most lectures / graders / readers followed through. They had a custom hand-in system on the stud

That's unlikely because he would obviously have security (costing a $2-3k USD for decent-sized detail). A chartered flight (light or mid-sized jet) would be around $30k USD.

There's direct Aeroflot flights between Moscow and Oslo (SVO - OSL). US fighters and/or ships could _arguably_ intercept a civilian aircraft in international waters and force landing in another country.

It's always been this way and always will... neverending, necessary security "arms race."

It's a rational conjecture that hunters tend to strive to continue winning the intelligence arms race over prey, and that technology tends (but not always) is an emergent property from this set of species.

For reference, 1 lb (454 g) of beef requires between 3800 L and 9500 L of water. This implies a typical beef restaurant "value meal" demands on the order of 10000 L of water. Another important point is that fresh water is neither
