Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem with Azer here? So what if he wasn't super professional. He's got a guy invoking "lawyers will come and mess with you if you don't do this for us." That same guy th

I don't undertand why this isn't the most common reaction, maybe people don't want to take this much responsibility over their builds since they've grown used to it being "taken care of" by these central packag

If you're really looking to do something strange, you could ditch the mouse all togeter. That's what I've done on one of my laptops. For some reason when i first set it up the touchpad didn't work, and need some driver o

will the money get split amongst all contributers that ask? otherwise I'm not sure how I feel about the lead developer getting contributions but asking to get money to keep for themselves.

I agree these questions are very basic, convert theses sentences to an algebra equation. I'm not sure doing well on this quiz is necessary to "get much out of college." College usually has courses other than algebra.

I'm the same way. I can read my ascii files from the early 90's. Old msworks, corel, etc files... not so much. Maybe you'll be able to read your OneNote files created today in a decade or two, I don't know. I've act

What's the advantage of this compared to heating up a frozen dinner you bought from the grocery store? Doesn't a $10-$15 dollar frozen dinner have quality ingredients too? Or does it taste a lot better if it's frozen for hour

Market share. FreeBSD has had jails for a long time and people using FreeBSD in production have been using them for a long time. Linux just has a lot more attention.

Why don't firms flag all email from external domains as "EXTERNAL" (All subjects are prefixed before being transferred to individual email boxes)? We have that where I work, wouldn't that help? That way an email with the

Ya, but once you realize the labor participation rate is under 70% it makes sense that a 3rd of America may sleep that late. Not everyone that participates has a 9-5 job.

Good point, unless I know a search term it doesn't work out great. I've been thinking of switching to some kind of wiki format, like maybe creole. Then finding an app that can understand links between files or something.

I've been tempted by this, but I have some reservations: 1. Does it work under less-used OSs? Linux/BSD..? 2. Is it a proprietary format? Will you be able to open the file in a decade? My text files will be able to be opened, I&#x

Any reason a bunch of text files in directories wont work? Any "advanced" text editor that can search directories should work: Notepad++,Vim,grep,... anything really. I've been using a bunch of synced markdown files. Works fo

Probably off topic, but: Do you have access to install node.js and access to the internet (to do the npm thing) where you'd like to run this kind of app (I'm assuming you keep your data in some kind of secure environment without o

Don't be so obtuse, getting a feature in a proprietary operating system when the vendor has a shitload of customers doesn't work that way. For example, the windows command prompt has been shit forever, only after more than a decad

Wow, two reason for this, one of which I didn't expect (the first). 1. Because the code is so old we don't want to have an intern figure out how to do it. (Adding a switch for a new PCRE, such as /P, is hard) Oh, and reading

Doubtful. ESPN is not synonomous with Sports. People may be becoming aware of the amount of their cable bill being sent to ESPN, but there are two problems blocking change. 1) They (the cable subscriber) can't do shit about it, they ei

It seems to me that the cops did everything right here, aside from perhaps drawing a gun (which it seems he may not have, only undoing a snap perhaps?) too early. They can't just take his word for it, they need to verify the eye-witnes

You missed what Donovan said, which answered the question. Obviously PL-enthusiasts (give me all the shiny! all the time!) wont like the answer though.

Not sure if Ted is Canadian, but it's a joke. Mention the letters to CRTC to any Canadian and that's what they think about. The letters CRTC are in some of the function calls.

You're also not supposed to point out such advantages. You'll be ostracized and placed into "male rights" sub group which has very negative connotations in general society. Tread lightly.

I always like the idea Bertrand Russel raised where if a company realizes it needs half its staff that it would be best to instead reduce all staff to half-hours worked then previous. Not sure if this is the essay or not. Sorry for the off-
