Separate firefox in a X server. A lighter version of what some of us need to do online banking - IE6 in a WindowsXP VM.

By twitter, do they mean promoted comments? Because each time I see a promoted comment on my twitter, I block the sender and report it as spam.

It's trivial to dump the tables at least. Just enter all printable ascii characters :). The umlauts would be by first fully decomposing the string down to letters+combining characters, right? 𝕭𝖊𝖌𝖗𝖚̈𝖘𝖘𝖚𝖓𝖌𝖘𝖆𝖓𝖟𝖊𝖎𝖌𝖊𝖇𝖊𝖉𝖎𝖊�…

I would have written that as $LOC_DELETED + $LOC_ADDED (i.e. if it was 3000loc and I deleted those and rewrote it in 1000loc, I'd put 4000loc). After all, deleting lines is a net positive change for the project and you need to think a

Maybe you should consider using an arbitrary-precision math library to calculate the graph and physics rather than relying on doubles.

Oh. It's really confusing to show not only the current mistake but also the mistakes that would be introduced by fixing it.

Oh man, I hate that. I've dreamed of patching the kernel and writing two utilities - twim (terminate without mercy) and uwep (unmount with extreme prejudice) that simply remove a process along with all threads, or destroy a mountpoint

The fear, I feel, is in making Linux follow Windows's user experience, rather than doing its own thing. Meaning, any call for "make it more user-friendly" is heard like "give me windows". It might make sense to rall

Distribution outside the Windows Store. There were rumours that the only way to distribute software would be through the Windows Store and Steam wouldn't be allowed at all.

Even if you account for Valve Time, Steam OS seems completely dead, after Valve got what they wanted from MS. And I have a hard time believing a for-profit company would invest in development of an open product just because "open and l

I agree. If it doesn't impact you, turn around and walk away. If you do want to make a difference, sell the exploit to the chinese. You'll still be arrested and charged for hacking, but at least you'll have made some money an

You shouldn't tell people that what they say might bring the attention of law enforcement - that counts as secondary liability.

While I believe that torrenting is your right, no matter what the law says, some of us do want to shower people responsible for things we like with actual money. If you find the price too steep, then by all means - get it from the pirate ba

I wish someone would finally report those fuckers to the FBI. Or straight-up murder them. Secret societies like that make my skin crawl.

Actually I honestly doubt anyone would bother. We're talking games and properties that aren't just old, they're part of brands that don't exist any more. Plus, if it is such a problem, ROM sites would all be dead by now.

Locked is all right, maybe it has the answer you're looking for. The shitty part is when you get a hit from google going to SO and the SO page is deleted because "this problem is too localised and unlikely to happen twice".

Sick leave here is unpaid (well not exactly, but something like a 3-day leave due to sickness can be unpaid). Which means that when I'm sick, I still go to work as usual and get everyone else sick. Because fuck them.

Nothing wrong per se - both definitions are right within their domains, i.e. programming¹ vs mathematics. It's just that I keep hearing (usually from FP people) how procedural/oo/impure functional/what have you programmi

From what I've heard, GTK was born due to licensing restrictions of the older versions of Qt - Qt used to be dual-licensed, available either under a commercial license, or under GPL (not LGPL). Some people found that too restrictive.
