IceWeasel was created to work around trademark restrictions; Mozilla Corporation would not allow to Debian to use the trademarked names as long as Debian was distributing the software with unapproved patches. So, Debian created their own br

If you live in the city and use the subway often, it is easier to get a 30-day unlimited ride pass. Lots of employers will even provide monthly unlimited ride passes as a pre-tax benefit via TransitChek.

When I was in high school and college, they typically only banned calculators that had full keyboards (e.g. TI-92). I believe I was allowed to use a TI-89 on both the SATs and the GREs.

It now reports overflow instead of crashing, but the first case is still incorrect: $ which expr /bin/expr $ expr \( -9223372036854775808 \) \* -1 -9223372036854775808 $ expr \( -9223372036854775808 \) / -1

Looks like it is fixed now: $ expr \( -2147483648 \) \* -1 2147483648 $ expr \( -2147483648 \) / -1 2147483648 $ uname -srm FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE amd64 Or maybe it doesn't work on i386?

That is because the tab on line 4 was converted to 4 spaces. A simple find + replace fixes the problem.

From what I understand, Rick Rubin wanted it mastered that way so it sounded "louder" (yet another casualty of the loudness wars) and the band just went with it. Unfortunately, the average consumer (or band member apparently) coul

The point of the benchmarks is to compare compilers on the Windows platform, so there is no reason to bench other operating systems.

I have Verizon FiOS as well. As luck would have it, you are not required to use the router as your router (though I agree that the router is serviceable). I have an ethernet cable coming directly out of the FiOS ONT to my FreeBSD-based rout

The not-so-modern language that IE is written in (C++) has a similar construct (std::vector) in its standard library. It is possible that code was originally written prior to the widespread adoption of the STL and was never updated to use i

You could use find, but it is easier to use the built in facilities to search for ports. If you are in the ports directory you can: make search name=name_of_port to search for a port by name and: make search key=key_to_search_for to search

FreeBSD does allow for the inclusion of other licenses. The GPL 2 and CDDL are two prominent examples (though they are actively trying to remove as much GPL code from the tree as possible). Users who are unhappy with CDDL licensed code stil

Last time I checked, Firefox and Safari have built-in spell checkers too (and both browsers probably had the feature before IE did). The only reason not to use Firefox is because it would cost too much to make all of the IE-only sites work
