Unfortunately, opening and forwarding random PowerPoint presentations is all some of my relatives do on their computers.

I can't agree. I have written quite a lor of work in LaTeX and I am still perplexed by floating images and I can never tell where floats (images, tables) will be or should be, because it always jumps randomly from page to page. M

It's good that Google doesn't log your Google searches with Google Chrome.

This article is speaking clearly from the encoding and sorting view, not the easiness to learn or the logic of pronounciation.

I am not him, but on one older Mac, I am running Snow Leopard because it's the last OS X I can run on a 32bit computer. And yes, I know, it has all the terrible ShellShock bugs and other stuff that will never be fixed, but I just need

True. Well, I have a dual-sim phone, so I keep one as mine, and the other one of the country where I am. So it's even simpler :) But I get what you are saying.

Well in that case you have to have it tied with your name, so it will only work for contracts; and only about half of the people here are on contracts.

Hm. Interesting. If you want to buy a new phone and keep your number.... what do you do? Well I guess you can just ask in the store to move it to the new one, that's true. It's just... strange.

Here, you got a separate SIM even with Apple phones. It's just how it's done. The only toy I remember not having a separate SIM card was Amazon Kindle (the e-ink reader), and that's because they try to hide that the SIM is ev

That's totally weird to me. I don't want to say it from a position of superiority or anything, just different mobile culture, but in here, changing SIM cards is normal. It's what you do when you buy a new phone, because - as

Hm. In here, we don't have separate packages for separate carriers. For all 3 major carriers, you just get your phone and in a separate envelope, you get your SIM card.

I admit, as an European, I see no point to this. If you want a new SIM card, and you don't have a contract, just buy a new SIM card and put it in your phone / tablet. If you have a long-term contract, this won't help you anyw

I am from Czech Republic. ICQ was popular here way more than in the rest of the world, but it got displaced by Facebook Messenger (and to some smaller extent Google Talk/Hangout/what's the name now). I have no idea about Russ

I think intention is important in these cases, more than what you actually did. He did not break there to make himself rich or to cause any trouble for the server owner; quite the contrary.

Thanks. This guy writes a lot of text but it takes him forever to get to the point.

How is a "socialite" and "social justice whiner" different from "free software whiner"? Idiot. Also, RMS is a socialist if you read more of his writings. So you should go die.

Yeah, but it works already, and there are also so many features it's hard to know what all could be broken by randomly fiddling around the code. (I suppose bash does not have a test suite.)
22.
by maximumoverload 12y ago
The main issue is, I think - if something works, nobody wants to fix it. Especially if that something is full with 80s code. Bash works, pretty well, for a lot of people. So nobody wants to touch it.

The good thing about quantum mechanics is that you don't have to know anything about it and still say stuff with it that sounds incredibly profound. "Everything is just a probability! We are all waves, maaan." (Sort of like F

Hm. On one hand, this is pretty specific and not "run into the woods" dangerous. On the other hand, it's also not that unrealistic. Also, I am kind of afraid there will be more stuff lurking in there.
