Nope ; Motorsport is always drivers' skills coupled with engineering ingenuity. It's always about "what can I come up with, which gives me an edge, and still somehow is within the rules?" I don't know anything about

So does life expectancy. You retire later, but in total amount of years retired per person? Probably even more today still? I don't think "standard retirement age" tracks perfectly with life expectancy. Also consider. The lif

It's really difficult to come up with good statistics, because of the number of things one can factor in. Tobacco industry in-country producing, or it's imported for example (total cost of cigarette smoking)? How many jobs directl

Afaik smokers and alcoholics are a blessing for most states. What is additionally spent on them due to healthcare costs is far less than the taxes they pay + the retirement payments they don't receive due to premature death. Funny clip

I am not that aware of the various file managers and their specific features these days. I guess it's about use case. I always want primarily something "which doesn't annoy", since the file manager is mostly there "

I always preferred thunar or pcmanfm back when I was into exploring all those Desktop Environments and Window Managers ; some of the xfce/lxde tools are particularly light on additional libraries needed, which makes them great options

I tried to make a point, you might call it condescending, I think it's poignant. But I see what you mean. And that probably explains some people's misgivings with my comment. Computer games are fine. I'm not playing these day

The flu is global, yes? How many cities did your "deep cleaning" (I've heard it for the first time)? Out of a total of how many cities? I decline your notion on those grounds alone.

I'm pretty sure plenty of people addicted to MMORPGs don't forget leveling up their character, and going to the "ruins at 7 pm with their teamspeak party to raid for magic staff wand XYZ" ; to peddle the tool they use to

I've bought it on DVD years back, and still re-watch it somewhat regularly. Love that series... both of them (Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister). That said, and as many echo again and again... for the technically skilled: piracy is

You are free to use Minix or Hurd, not sure if a modern browser will even run, but if you want a microkernel so badly... So if only Linus would have listened we would have Linux as microkernel equally feature rich and widespread? Stupid Lin

Running your own mail server, having problems due to shared IP is only one of the problems. Some more: Spam filtering for one. Uptime and updating without downtime. You would absolutely need redundancy (complexity of the solution required s

Same setup as the comment you're answering to. They've just been super reliable and mature for me. No huge updates that force me to adjust. Interface is nice and clean, uptime and service super reliable. Everything just seems to w

I think the following suggestion is most likely extremely naive, so please bare with me. Reading the valid criticism here of such a scheme, why not just approach some contributors, ask them if they would like to contribute more, and offer t

As someone who has used too many distributions and window managers to count (over the course of many years), I've settled on Ubuntu and whatever their default UI. And I quite liked Unity as well after a while. Of course if there was a

If the illusion is that it's Signal's ultimate goal to dethrone WhatsApp (and Paypal for payments?), I think I'm not the one in need of a reality check (forgive the provocative wording, I have no ill will towards you). Signal

by Wxc2jjJmST9XWWL 6y ago
I don't think that's honest. Signal has the reach to get plenty of beta-testers on board, enough to maybe grow it from there. I'm not saying that it isn't tougher to do this way, but it's not like a "Signal Pay

Isn't the biggest question: Why not a different app with some sort of signal integration? If that takes off and is successful, it could eventually be merged to be one application I suppose. But leveraging a huge user base from Signal (
