   I have a linux gaming rig. It's actually a dual-boot setup but I'm in Linux 99% of the time. Depends on the games you want to play, but there is a decent selection of games on Linux, and with frameworks like Unity it's pretty

   I just booted this up in a virtual machine and I managed to copy the EULA to the clipboard: http://pastebin.com/t9E3SUQP I'm posting this from within RemixOS, so I can't say any bad things about China right now :)

   I, for one, like it because it's only one syllable, but it's obvious that brevity isn't of importance to you :)

   Thinking about it further, I guess my main beef is with Apple for not including that functionality in the first place, and I don't like the idea of paying money for something that should be free in essence. It's also why I don&#x2

   I find that a bit frustrating too, though to be fair it's not Netflix's fault those restrictions are in place - they're just complying with copyright laws. At least it's not as bad as Paragon charging for basic NTFS read

   I believe Tails is able to update itself when it's a LiveCD[1]. I guess it's still not perfect (you need to run the older, less secure version of itself to update itself), but it's better than nothing. [1] https://

   Yeah I don't really get this...seems to work well enough in Chrome. What am I missing?

    > I found the process frustrating, humbling, and strangely fun. I imagined I was on CSI—but instead of a person, it was my app dead on the floor, and I had to find out who killed it and how What a great way to think about bug-fixing!

    One time I was wielding the cockatrice corpse with gloves on, and I was doing pretty well until I found a succubus, who seduced me into taking off all my clothes...including my gloves...

    I don't understand what this is. The .iso file seems to be empty.

    This is a good step, but like most statistical data I think it's best presented in a graphical form. Xkcd's graph comparing sources of radiation is a great example. https://xkcd.com/radiation/

    Thanks for this, I didn't realise you could do this in CM. You can also check when the permissions were being used. For the Netflix app I noticed the "record audio" permission had never been used, but I've set it to exp

    Will there be some sort of external chat/discussion forum? I seem to remember TPP having a subreddit and an IRC channel for discussing and voting on strategies. Especially useful since the official chat was flooded with commands.

    That may be more useful to the end-user, but the point of this is to learn how to make a basic IoT project (the title is IoT intro). This includes creating a basic circuit and interfacing with an API on the internet, which is something that

    It reminds me of how, if you ask why something is so, and then keep asking "why?" to every answer you get, you tend to end up asking philosophical questions.

    I'd actually like to map Caps-Lock to ESC as well, but I'd prefer to make it vim-specific rather than system-specific, and there's no way to do that :(.

    > inoremap jk <ESC> Using two keystrokes instead of ESC to leave insert mode is definitely a personal preference and not necessarily more efficient or comfortable.

    I agree, it totally depends what you're after, and how much you value your privacy. It's like the difference between staying in shared hostel dorms vs. private hotel rooms when you're travelling. I've just been travellin

    I don't think that kind of hostility and deprecation is ever justified. The worst part is that he publicly defends his way of dealing with people online and sets a terrible example.

    > "10. Be Happy and Pleasant" Glad to see this one in here. It seems like too many open-source project communities are incredibly hostile to newcomers or people with differing opinions. Linus Torvalds comes to mind.

    This surprises me, I've never had any issues with booting and installing Ubuntu or variants thereof.
