Overall: love the idea. Any chance of updating the RSS feed item "summary" to something more useful than "significant news" and title to something more than the date? Or maybe an RSS feed of the newsletter format? (I do

I haven't seen "using Oracle Linux will result in me being sued". What I've seen is "Oracle is evil", "don't trust Oracle", and something like "my prior history around Oracle has left such a

Worst case is might have to also manually replace a few "release" and "logos" packages (which is what's involved now for switching from RHEL to CentOS or OracleLinux)... More likely there'll be a simple script

They still make and sell new ones. Niche market for them because they can print onto transfer paper (with or without putting ink onto the top paper).

Your client asks for 1 file, the server comes back with 2 files (the 2nd one what you actually asked for), but the name of the first (tiny) file's name contains escape sequences that clear the line, move up a line, or otherwise obscure

As a somewhat picky consumer of hoppy beers, I really dislike beer cans in cardboard boxes for a simple reason: you can't see the canned-on date. It's not a problem with some of the smaller beer-specialty shops, but in both grocer

I would call a purely ceramic cooking pot a casserole, but a cast iron (or enameled cast iron) version is a "dutch" oven. I have both in my collection, but the "dutch ovens" can be used on a range or in the oven. The &qu

Have they fixed the other problems with this service? We did a pilot of Office 365 with an eye on using the OneDrive stuff (in addition to migrating to the cloud Exchange service) and found: - There's no mac client for the business one

I prefer Homebrew over Macports, because the Homebrew default is to use the stuff your system already has. Macports always wants to pull in (newer versions) a bunch of stuff that's already in OSX. There's benefits to both approach

Really depends on the source of your lard. Good quality stuff doesn't smell bad. Should smell like bacon without the smoke or meat part of the smell.

The salinity of the ocean isn't uniform and the ocean is connected to various bodies of fresh water. From a quick glance at the map of surface salinity[1] you can see that warmer waters are saltier. Perhaps tasting saltiness sometimes
