I set up CUPS on my laptop a while back and haven't had any issues printing since. I remember it was a bit difficult since it wanted a root password (through the UI) to do stuff, but I don't directly use the root user. I'm ac

I'm an American who's only had good experiences with US police. I'm not gonna spill all my interactions with the police on the internet, of course, but I've been to college parties where the cops just told us to shut up.

Yeah. To follow up (and try to explain it in a way dumb people like me will understand) the US is big on "precedence", which essentially means if a court says, "We believe this law applies this way in this specific scenario&q

Well, couldn't _only_ the voting machine record the time the token was used as long as the token is random? (They could just generate N tokens -- one for each registered voter -- and pull one from the pool each time.) If they recorded

Well, it could happen like this: - Walk in, present some form of ID - You sign the slip or give a thumbprint so they record that you've voted - Random token is generated and given to you - You enter the token in order to vote - You kee

Just a side note, "175%+" is actually a bit of an underestimate. As an example, I'm 175# and can bench press 285# (3 whites) but I'm not a "strong male athlete" by any means. Athletes who train for strength (li

On the first couple pages, yeah. Skip 10+ pages and you get stuff like "nigger stole my bike" etc. As a side question, shouldn't it be fairly easy to flag those repositories and then sort through those who have it as an offen

Take PHP or Python's standard library. Both are built around types, yet this is legal: $foo = "hello, world!"; $foo = 12; When you use a string-related function in Python, you expect the parameters to be strings, y

It's not a pointer, it's a bitwise AND. It's essentially the same[0] as `prndindex = (prndinex+1) % 256`, except bitwise AND takes less effort to compute. Modulo is essentially[1]: `mod = a - b * (a / b)` unless the comp
