Could the word you are looking for be "condescending"? Maybe there's a hint of that, but it's so over the top and a famous quote to boot (from Game of Thrones) that I wouldn't ascribe malice to the poster. PS: not a

Holy crap, that's exactly what happened to me! My solution was to say sayonara to everybody and move to Tokyo, to attend a full time Japanese language school, with people generally 10–20 years my juniors. I'm doing good so far,

About those "jaw pains," I would HIGHLY recommend you get a bite / stunt to wear at night. You never know when you could start grinding your teeth at night (you really don't know, because it happens when you're the

I like to think that one of the reasons for WordPress's resounding and continuous success among developers has been its open source, libre GPL license. That being the case, I can see a well-prepared, well-publicized and well-maintained

Did you use any quadratic or worse regex algorithm? Such as having more than one .* in a single regex. Did you set LANG=C before running sed, to bypass the UTF-8 logic? Also, if you had a list of substitutions to perform, did you try writin

I have my Xubuntu desktop set to 1+3/16 if I'm not mistaken (which in 96dpi units is 114) and everything works well. I'm not sure what you mean.

If you use words to suggest something untrue, you are a liar. "Technically correct" is something best left to lawyers, whose job entails just that, by its very nature. Everybody else, especially those whose job is to inform people

In the West, I agree. Here in Japan, they seem to value old things and their maintenance more than I've ever seen anywhere else.

Lisp and Scheme are great. They would be my favorite programming languages, if they had a statically typed, Hindley-Milner type system. As they stand, they are great learning tools, but I would never build something serious with them. Let

Makes sense to me. If you are liars through and through, why be honest on your party's name, of all things?

Interesting observation. The area of the upper lip is known as the "Danger triangle" of the face, in which due to way blood circulates in that area, including the upper lip, infections can spread back towards the brain: https:&#x

Most of your comments are about disks. If you read the fine print, when you order a new server, you don't get brand new disks, but used ones. When they die, you don't get new disks, unless you pay a premium, but used ones. They re
