How much does it cost? If it says on the site, it isn't prominent.

I feel for you (had a computer broken by UPS when moving many years ago). I just have things shipped to my work address if I care about the item [esp. things like electronics, which can be damaged when the delivery guy throws^Wdelivers :) t

How about Macbook Pro running Goobuntu?

I wasn't able to figure out how to remove the top and bottom panels (the window list thing at the bottom and the shutdown button thing on top). I like vertical real estate (would like to merge them into one, like I could with Ubuntu 10.10).

Ok, I got downvotes instead of clarifications to my question about the market share of the govt. in student loans. :( It appears that the direct and indirect (i.e., backed by the govt.) loans by the federal govt. account for 80% of the mark

But I wouldn't use the word 'subsidy' to describe that situation.

by luser001 14y ago
Who is the "they" here? Unless the govt. is doing it, it doesn't count as subsidy. Also, I thought govt. loans were much smaller in total than private loans. Is that incorrect?

In what ways is a college loan a subsidy? ("by subsidizing investment in college education" ...) Who's doing the subsidizing? Am I missing something?

What about without flipping the switch? What (security?) do you give up by moving to developer mode?

Practical use of the STL can be learned in an afternoon. Just focus on the Big Four: string, map, vector, and unordered_map (last one is in in c++11 only). The venerable original SGI document should take you quite a ways: http://www.sgi.co

Almost every Firefox thread has a comment like this. I'm no Firefox expert, but I use it a lot. The most common question asked in response is: What extensions are you running? Can you disable some of them. I run ABP, Ghostery, HTTPS

Ok, my phrasing was incorrect. I meant to say "how is it precise enough." You get the last word (if you choose to reply to this).
225.
by luser001 14y ago
Umm, I was supporting your phrasing. :) i.e., that most people get that you will work extra hours when truly required. And that even a supposedly more precise phrasing suffers from the problem that the listener may not interpret the words t

How is this more precise? You said "rare", and the other party heard "rare", but guys never agreed on what "very rare" was. Believe me, people can have very different ideas about what "very rare" means in this context. :)

See the subject line of the article. Are you prepared to pay people one way or other (extra vacation days, on-the-spot cash bonus to take family out to a fancy dinner) for stepping up? No? Why not?

Hmm, I always thought the restriction on game recordings was just a way to curate the community.

His point was about requiring a login on another social network to vote on a video, when you're already logged in to Youtube. You somehow boiled it down to a discussion on the lack of a "thumbs down" button. I think you're off track here.

It hasn't broken for me. And I don't expect it to. YMMV.

will be meaning mandatory? No, there isn't. I've downloaded and used the 5-user version of the wiki (Confluence) and I didn't pay anything more than $10. I expect this to be the same.

Atlassian keeps it at $10 for 1-5 users. Awesome! And they give the source code to commercial and academic customers for customization. Transparent pricing. They may be the least enterprisey of the enterprise vendors. :)

How do you save yourself the trouble of configuring this extension? What sorts of configs have you had to do for Putty?

Hmm, the crux of the story is that it wasn't accidental. Which is what makes it newsworthy. YMMV.

What did you find hard to read about the site? I was able to read it just fine. (just double-checked). Nice big text with high, but not too high, contrast. What's not to like?

OT: There was an "Ellen" clip or something that was posted somewhere about UK-vs-US slangs words and iirc 'chuff' was there (the USAian didn't know what it was). I had to look up the definition to understand 100% whether you were pleased or

I said your answers were simple-minded. You certainly don't come across as being such. I'm sorry if I offended you.
