Maybe contacting their hosting provider could be an additional way to approach the problem, since, from what I can tell, the messages they send to contributors are spam.

There is a setting that can help with the scrolling: "scroll_speed": 0 I have it in my user preferences (on Debian Sid) and it works well for me.

Maybe you use KeePass 1.x? KeePass 1.x does not support the new database format and saves its databases as KDB files. KeePass 2.x uses the new database format (KDBX) and it can also import KDB databases created with KeePass 1.x. See the dif

From the first paragraph of the announcement:[1] “makes me suspect [...] people were gaming the system and had timed some of their pull requests for just before the release”. Does anyone know what Linus means by that? [1] http://lwn.net/Ar

Replying to myself... For anyone interested, here are two screenshots showing the Mathematical Operators blocks of Liberation Mono and Droid Sans Mono in the current Debian Sid: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/390716/20130412-003357-d.

Maybe Droid Sans Mono or Liberation Mono? They both have an extensive range of glyphs but I am not sure about math symbols.

This is important news and I am happy a first step is taken. I am not sure about the accuracy of the title of the submitted post though. The official EU text, as reported in the post,[1] does not scold or name anyone. The scolding comes fro

I think the verb “to democratize” is used here in the extended meaning “to make accessible to all”, like democracy makes governance an affair accessible to all by making it an affair of the people. But I agree that this use does seem strang

A charming person, and a lovely, theatrical, speech. If she had rehearsed it a couple more times, she could have achieved a perfect rhythm. I was turned off a bit when she started using historical present to describe the incident at the Cat

I imagine the “rather shockingly” clause was a misplaced attempt at irony. I cannot think of any other reason the author would put that there.

I get confused with font stacks that have sequences like: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", etc. etc. Are there systems that do not have Calibri but do have Candara or Segoe UI? (Excluding, of course, cases where some of these fonts have

Looking at tasksel’s changelog on a Sid installation, I see the last change was v3.12 from 21 July 2012 and I cannot find anything about changing the default desktop environment for the desktop task. So, maybe this change is not meant for t

Even better, put that in Preferences, Key Bindings, User. Using the user file has two advantages: First, you avoid mishaps when some future version makes changes to the default bindings file. Second, you can quickly check what are your non-

Correct. In fact, because the allocation of parliament seats is calculated on the basis of the total vote and because of the adjustments that this entails for the allocation of constituency seats, you can be the first party in a constituenc

In a few words: 250 of the 300 seats are allocated proportionally among the parties that got over 3% of the vote. The remaining 50 go to the first party.

Opera 12 is the first third-party web browser for Windows to offer an official 64-bit version. (Neither Firefox nor Chrome have official 64-bit versions for Windows. And I think Safari for Windows doesn’t have one either.) Does this transla

That’s the trick. You say one thing, then say another thing. The other thing kind of negates the first thing you said, so, by repeating the recipe, in a short while you have said everything about your topics and you have also said nothing.

Just what my eyes told me when I looked at the page. Looking now at the Typekit site (where the font comes from) I see that Adelle, indeed, is not recommended for body text by Typekit, only for headings. The Typekit site offers some short e

“New font! Adelle from Typekit, not from Google Fonts. They took it seriously, and it's a fantastic choice.” To my eyes, it is a poor choice: First, Adelle does not seem to work well for body text. Second, it does not look good on Windows.
