I'm not sure. I've started taking a break from alcohol recently, and while I'm not sure I'll do it forever I am loving the side-effects like more disposable income, general feeling of healthiness after a night out and such. There's lot s of

Because I've never once found a decent no-nonsense no-ugly-web-interface-preinstalled-that-I-don't-want guide, and unlike anything else I have installed on my server, I find email baffling. I'd switch if someone gave me a decent enough guid

That's not a list of lists though. So it shouldn't be included in a list of lists of lists.

From what I understand it's a replacement for X.Org also providing compositing and such things. It tries to provide a clean codebase without being quite a monolithic as X.Org is right now. It's currently quite immature, you can only really

Have you found a difference in freshness of packages since you switched? I really like how in Arch packages tend to be much more up to date than other distros ( a side effect of the rolling release)

My favorite thing about running on an Arch system is I know what's going on all the time. If an Ubuntu system breaks I'm generally dealing with a mass of preinstalled things, it's hard to know what's relevant. Similarly for increasing boot

That sounds inaccurate. The example for affordance I always use is the door handle example. The pull handle on a door 'affords' pulling. The metal pad 'affords' pushing. (a keyboard button 'affords' pressing) Essentially they look like they

Also seems to be a surge in people editing in complaints about downvotes and baiting people for downvotes. The pity with the ass comment was that a lot of its content was well written, its just the first line spoiling it all. I think a lot

The big problem here is choosing the good films based only on the concepts. Otherwise I really hope someone can do this. You could possibly set the price point higher though? I'm not even sure that heavy advertising would be needed for the

Pressing the button to get a QR code and a link is instant. It's the general page load, your logo and the actual front page that takes a while, especially given how little is on the page itself. I suspect it's to do with your hosting speed.

You're right, and they are improving. I mainly hit issues in smaller stores (e.g tesco express) where the staff are more confused by the automated checkout than I am.

by ElliotH 15y ago
As much as I wish we had nice fast automated checkout technology right now, having a shop like this would drive me mad. These things have become infamous here in the UK for "Unexpected Item in Bagging Area" and similar. What would be really

It took me 2010 as well as 2011, but I really enjoyed Godel, Escher Bach now I've finally got through it. It's hard going, but I can't think of a book that chnaged what I think about the world as much as that book has.

A small uni? The University of Southampton is a leading research university here in the UK, it is a member of the Russell Group and the ECS school is incredibly highly thought of. I'd thank you not to refer to it as small. Have you tried w

I really urge anyone who's in a situation where they have to write Java to use IntelliJ. Java is the language of choice for much of my CompSci course, and it is the only tool that makes that bearable.

On my hideously slow Galaxy 3, which barely runs Angry Birds, I can successfully do the most complex home-screen transitions smooth as butter with LauncherPro.

Its anecdotal, but I know a few people who definitely claim to have taken 'Computer Science' as opposed to 'Computing' A levels.

by ElliotH 15y ago
There is in fact a Computer Science GCSE and A level which is distinct from Computing. The A level computing syllabus (haven taken it myself) is quite dated, but one of the two papers does involve some writing of pseudocode, and the coursew
