I'd argue that this isn't a pidgin or creole. Unless the language has had changes due to contact with other sign languages, it stands as its own language.

I wouldn't call myself a linguist, but I've spent 3 or so years studying it at a university -- here's my take (after a relatively quick skim of the article and video): The language hasn't evolved enough to have smaller d

Surprisingly, Firefox performs better than Chrome for me. i7, 20GB RAM, Quadro K2000M, Fedora 19, latest stable of both Firefox and Chrome.

Crazy idea: Can't a streamer just setup their own live streaming audio server (i.e. Shoutcast and Icecast) and tell users to listen to that while watching their Twitch? This way, their videos can get archived later for on-demand use an

I don't know why it just happened now, but it finally dawned on me after seeing the video's kernel/shell/utilities graphic: the shell is a wrapper around the kernel.

A couple more data points: I'm running Fedora 19 and Arch on my main dev machines/VMs and as of this posting are considered up-to-date. Both are vulnerable: [Fedora19] $ openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

Right, I've seen the W540 as well, but I guess I'm thinking longer term since my previous laptop, the T61, was used for 5 or so years. In that time, I'm not too confident about Lenovo's workstation plans... > I am a l

Not the parent post, but from my limited use of Vagrant so far, the main difference is that there's a "base" image that you can quickly reset to in order to test the repeat-ability of your deploys. The images also automatical

Honestly, at first I wasn't too surprised by this, but as I thought about it some more, it's actually pretty damned impressive. Boiling it down a bit, would it be fair to call this a "more universal AUR/yaourt"?

It's very unlikely that this is a bug. There is no reason that that a failed form validation would save the states of all the input fields EXCEPT the bundle selector.
