To be fair, I don't think I know anyone who "cares" about l33t speak. H4xx0r j0k3s is all it is. I never seen anyone go out of their way to defend or use leet speak all day long.

I found myself thinking about that a few times these last years. Would states really sue Intel for anti-trust when it's not really their fault if there was no competition? I mean you can't expect a new CPU founder company to jus

I like how the author of this piece talk about Sir Martyn Poliakoff. But the article predates his knighthood. (and presumably youtube fame) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyn_Poliakoff

They may be classics, but are they wrong? Yes, Apple has never targeted businesses, but they did target individuals professionnals at some point. Video and sound editors used to work on Macs, and now move to windows. It's a classic, bu

I don't know if it's just the usual whining of people complaining about new things. From the exterior (I'm too young and the only Mac I've ever used was the Macintosh Plus - bragging , with 4Mo of RAM- while I was a chil

(french also) I know a couple who married at the beggining of their fifties, just went to the mayor's office with two witnesses, signed the papers and that was all. They are both litterature teachers for students in their master cycle.

I use `apt` in Debian, not sure if that's what they recommend, but the interface is better. `apt search`/`apt-cache search` `apt install` /`apt-get install` Though, I prefer pacman/pacaur interface, even if it is less in

I'm also amazed at my ability to master gravity, relative velocity, and multiple physic parameters when I throw a paper ball in the bin. Ballistics is so complicated and yet, our brains and and muscles do it all naturally. On the other

The parallel with the command line, I found it to be very true when I first experienced "Siri" and "Ok, Google". And still years later no man pages for voices commands.

File transfers, getting http headers, getting html content of a page piping it to a script to clean it up and read later (long articles). That's what I use it for, I think, mainly. Edit: also between php scripts

In recent versions there are three different volume sliders. I'd call them: "Notifications", "Alarms", and "Media". You have to check all three of these to be sure. I have mine set to only "Alarms&quo

Ideally police should be about helping old ladies cross the road. As the name implies. If someone hesitates to kill doesn't that prove they're a better person than someone who James Bond his way through? James Bond is fun but he d
