It helps a lot to have been exposed to it around 6-12 months. That's apparently when pronunciation subtlety is learnt.

For the majority of us, probably the only thing that will happen is some power outages in some areas. Charge some portable batteries and buy some bottled water (mains pumps maybe?). It won't be a problem for more than about a day.

Underutilised? Modern CPUs are designed to be underutilised. Or more accurately, designed to be bursty. It isn't like they are executing NOPs at full speed. The heat they generate isn't free.

This is significant for one very specific reason. This was not a law that was hastily passed. This was ISPs applying blocks with no real legal threat. I would presume the reason for this is because there is a real fear here that if they did

In my opinion (a bit tangential to the article I know) The privacy thing is a symptom to the massive marketing budgets companies have available to them today. We're covering up the cost of living by redirecting them via advertising age

That's an awful lot of sodium to throw out the potassium sodium balance, even after considering the mass of the glutamate ion. I don't think it could actually be better than the same mass of sugar.

What if there is a fall in birthrate because people can't organise risky hookups without their preferred communication platform?

When I tried the adjusted volume version of the higher frequencies, I didn't like it anyway heh.

> Okay, first of all, due to the Fletcher Munson curves, the perception of bass versus treble is affected by volume. This is one reason using dBA for everything is silly. They work at about 60dB SPL. They used to have a dB(B) for about 8

Somehow I got tinnitus in one ear, and I didn't even go to any concerts. Maybe headphones on too loud. None the less, a friend got me to try on a set of Nuraphones, which I think are supposed to gauge how responsive your nervous system

I've found this to be the case for many groceries, but the periodic stuff in the middle is sometimes really cheap, other times not competitive.

So no SELinux for you?

by Arbalest 8y ago
Agreed. Lets get some stats of the distribution of jobs and average commute times and see how that comes out then vs now. Edit: Also worth noting is the daylife, shall we say. That is, cafes and the like are a lot more popular than they use

I recently saw a thing about xmonad not under any circumstances being ported to wayland, due to its very high level of integration with X. Which to me read as, would require a rewrite rather than there can be no successor. Still, someone do

The way you say it is like you're saying that Documentation should be second class, not just that it is anyway. Keep in mind that the software in this particular case, is software used mostly for the API, so the Documentation is front

I still think we should be moving cities off of prime arable land and moving to deserts.

Fair use agreements usually. You'd probably have someone asking "Are you using your personal plan for business use" or similar.

With respect to your edit, for those who have limited resources: I would suggest anyone who has taken on responsibilities is unlikely to think in a matter in which anything can be ignored, and anyone who is without responsibility is probabl

No, absolutely not. Choice in its purest form is and always was an illusion. People are driven by their circumstances and their environment, they do not have a consciousness that is capable of perceiving and acting apart from the world they

I'm sorry to dismiss this more or less out of hand, but this is a case of anecdotal evidence. Using your case to generalise to greater choice is falling victim to the assumption that all players are rational actors.
292.
by Arbalest 8y ago
Stating that still assumes rational actors. It is based off the premise of "freedom" above all else. The problem with freedom is that the way it is defined really depends on what you want to achieve. Infinite choice is the simples

GP starts with a fairly simple premise, the rate of default is high, so that much interest is required to make up the shortfall. Of course the rest of it is hinged solely on this premise, rather than acknowledging that the very act is takin

You're making it sound like this is only of benefit to the city. This makes things more space efficient and for those who might struggle with the expenses of a private car, is gold.

So essentially, we've downsized the busses running through suburbia with much smaller, more flexible vehicles. Seeing this as a failure of public transport is a bit short sighted, if anything I think this is a good evolution. Busses ar

A secretary certainly sounds expensive. Even if you had a remote Secretary as a Service who prints directly to your home printer as an implicit inbox (which you can't hear printing, because that would be too much like getting a notific

I think for organisations such a thing is called a cartel. Cartels are usually illegal, but only ever get noticed on the sale side, and some are downright legalised (eg OPEC).

I've pretty much been running in that mode for a while now (though maybe more on average once per week). It's fine. As long as you don't engage in any commentary on other people's stuff, you naturally gravitate away from
