As a non-vegan, I can guarantee that there is a lot of wrong information in this article. There is nothing unique about nutrition from animals. It is important to get the full range of nutrients, but food and food-based supplements are avai

I could show you POS records, but I'm not sure what that would prove. This us not what everyone does, but it was meant as an example of the kind of problems that arise from trying to control consumer behavior that go away if you just g

In MI, there are 10c deposits for cans and also larger deposits. There are $2.00 milk bottle deposits. Dumping is definitely not the best way to make money from food stamps, but I see it happen every week.

You're right about the potential abuses. However, the only reason we have any kind of biological privacy is because the stuff we leave everywhere is too small for most people to notice. But we are not clean animals. We shed everywhere.

You have the right idea. It's important to remember what we'd want if we didn't have any concerns about power abuse. In a perfect world, anyone would be excited that some of the world's best scientists were studying the

If Stallman were able to exert hegemonic control, we would not be using words like FOSS, and software development would focus on solving social problems. Stallman is vocal about his Socialism and spends most of his time addressing political

In several instances, Stallman has asked people to complain to their representatives that bills posted online required running non-free Javascript on their computers in order to access them. I'm not sure if the instance you mention was

There's also ambiguity. I didn't think math was funny just because of the pun, but also because of the way people use math to justify homeopathy. It's mathematical, so it must be true. From a similar cultural perspective, I c

From the release: openSUSE 13.1 comes with much improved font hinting thanks to the new font engine in Freetype 2.5. It's actually fixed by default now.

All current software does this, but the switching capability means the motherboard could be modified to allow it to run little-endian. This means that if someone wanted to repurpose old Xbox hardware to run a little-endian operating system
734.
by ewzimm 13y ago
Yes, this is correct. Although it is capable if switching, this would cause problems that require a motherboard fix which is not implemented, so the machine runs big endian in practice. I included a wikipedia link to explain.

You should see what Samsung is like in South Korea. It's not unusual to get in your Samsung car and drive down a road built and serviced by Samsung construction to the Samsung mall where you arrive at the Samsung grocery store and fill

If you are using 12.04, you can easily switch to a completely free Trisquel 6, which is based on 12.04 and compatible with PPAs and other software designed for Ubuntu. http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/migrate-ubuntu-tr

I understand your distaste for Canonical. I don't like their policies either, and I support the FSF in encouraging people to use completely free distros like Trisquel whenever possible. However, I think it's important that we be f

I think the takeaway is there are less people interested in playing a traditional deathmatch first person shooter on Linux than other platforms. Personally, I find them to be boring and overdone. There are much more exciting types of games

Of course not. But those things went away, and the USA is still there. Those things have absolutely not gone away. There are between 57,000 and 63,000 slaves in the USA right now according to the Walk Free foundation: http://ww

Yes the record labels need to go. They have been preying on musicians for a long time and will continue to do so. I'm sure that Sootify could pay more without them, but that wouldn't allow their model to completely support musicia

Bandcamp is a good service too, but there's no way it will completely overtake the place of cheap streaming that doesn't make anyone a lot of money. I agree that direct support is the way to go, but there's a place for both

I think the problem is that people are looking at Spotify as a replacement for album sales, when realistically Spotify is a replacement for listening to music from torrents, YouTube, or Grooveshark. Album sales are a lost cause. If Spotify

US speeds are not great compared to some places. But let's see where things are in 5 years. Could be much better. Doesn't matter for me. I stopped buying anything from Sony when they removed OtherOS.

Sony will start streaming eventually. It would be fantastic if they implemented a disc matching policy, allowing you to stream a game with the disc in the drive. Perfect backward compatibility with no software support necessary.

I think they are both important. The arbitration policy has been tested in court, and it matters because ICANN controls all .com names like this one. The trademark policy is important because Canonical owns the trademark, and it outlines sp

I'm not sure what this has to do with a contract. It's just a matter of trademark law.
