Given that definition it seems like all terrorism is personal and that there is nothing distinguishing about the methods of WU or RAF.

I am having trouble thinking of many examples of the Weathermen making "terrorism personal" (it's a messy term but I understand what you meant). The only thing that comes to mind is the judge's house. RAF? I assume it&#x

I can't tell if they have waved the requirement to have better vision than 20/100 or whatever it is in your weak eye.

If you make one friend with someone in your neighborhood or your workplace and carpool the express lane is free. It's that easy. That's what one of my coworkers' wife does. Another person I work with comes to work at 0500, ot

I should have been more specific. You need GPS, PPS and you need to correctly configure them. Its a bad idea if people think you can just plug a USB into a GPS and be good to go.

You can also "provide a meaningful response in a timely fashion" if any of the recent messages get upvoted. It can be a little annoying but the easy solution is to consider how useful your comment is to the community before hittin

> As long as a timeserver has a GPS lock, it's going to be disciplining the atomic clock the same way any other clock is disciplined Not true, you need a GPS lock as well as PPS. Are you sure about 50ns?

The entire global economy? Maybe you should narrow your market focus a little. NTPD and or GPSD support anything with NMEA and PPS. You should be able to satisfy a large range of users with any ublox 6, 7 or 8T.

What trouble are you having with the GPSs? Getting them hooked up to ntpd is fairly easy after you get used to some of the common hiccups. As far as who wins for a long time now it has been astronomers. The fact that Google and Amazon are d

I am totally confused about your comment. What are you quoting? Who wrote "gritty tart biting"? I don't know what the phrase was meant to convey but I wouldn't consider it a pun.

The quote would be so much better if the subject were submarines instead of carriers.

I kept waiting for the author to use the term gallows humor. I was a little surprised when I got to the end and the phrase was never used. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallows_humor

A-M is the recommended way to hold a package, previously you would use `dpkg --get-selections`. All apt/dpkg commands will abide by what you set with A-M.

Do you think hold/unhold is anything like masking in gentoo? Me neither...

by dfc 9y ago
apt-mark is nothing like masking from gentoo. A-M is just for making modifications to the database that remembers whether a package was intentionally installed or was automatically pulled in as part of a dependency. This database is how apt

I don't count national standards as "culture." But I am curious what other culture you think goes unnoticed inside of Japanese cars?

I was just as bothered / put off by the "Zero Knowledge Encryption." But your comment is a little disingenuous. Spider Oak ultimately did the right thing and given your link it is clear you are aware that SO has stopped usin

As far as that page is concerned ntpsec is just ntp with fewer features.

They recently opened a TechShop in Arlington. I did not realize how spoiled I was with NoVaLabs. It seems like techshop is all-or-nothing pricing. There is no plan that allows for light to moderate use. For $400 less than techshop yearly bi

What year did you graduate? I went to grad school through the SFS program and graduated in 04. I remember hearing mudge talk and I thought it had been around for a little while before I graduated.

Differences in what is funny is why I think jokes just don't work well on discussion forums. I assume that this is the reason they are called attendants. Things that seem to follow logically are not comical to me.

The commenter is saying that is not why you would mail bees and therefore not worth mentioning. They then give a useful example of what is mailed for the benefit of those who couldn't imagine why you would mail bees.

It's a terrible joke, but I think it's was supposed to be cute because bees fly so ground transportation wouldn't work. I think HN has been deteriorating lately because of comments lame jokes. There are a bunch in this story.
