   A long insulated hose could exhaust the heat some distance away from the tank. Then it would look like a giant stealth rat.

   Is hostility or prejudice towards another racial group based on political correctness not racism?

   This shows all the config options. Options change from kernel to kernel so doing a simple diff does not always reveal the user's intentional config changes. Otherwise gentoo is painless.. in the long term.

   BTSync is a radical improvement in the network protocols but I still can't get the btsync web ui to change my password. You could say that their priorities are in the right place for an open source project, which they are not. Don&#x27

   This argument is spot on but we resist it because we think we are above culture, too smart for it, that we can reduce everything to science, analysis, and engineering. The opposite is true. Culture is everything. Your brain does not recei

   I'm seduced. But I think this technique is based on tricking those who enjoy reading conventional text articles. It pulls the rug out from under them as soon as they start scrolling. It's mischievous and, in some ways, quite typic

   Snapper does not have a web gui and does not support ZFS. This looks perfect for freenas, zfsguru, etc. Hope to try it out. Thank you!

   I think the negative reaction with has to do with his overly aggressive mustache, not so much the intentional murder of 30-40 million. Not that numbers, scale, proportion, context, or substance should matter to this crowd.

    curious if anyone has read anything by Zizek, esp his writing on Lacan and Deleuze, and if they can summarize the substance of his work for HN.

    That would be ideal but TeX source is supposedly very big and complicated. MathML is a joke compared to LaTeX. HTML + canvas, SVG, or PNG is preferable.

    It's not a conspiracy. Just gravy trains and careerism. Just like in any other profession.

    If a gmail user sends a plain text email to a lavabit user or vice versa, do they consider that scenario to be "fully encrypted". Or do both recipient and sender have to be lavabit users?

    Seriously. First they colocate in Texas. Then use Paypal for donations. It's like they are trying to martyr themselves.

    What did Lavabit think would happen by physically locating servers in the US? It's almost irresponsible to sell customers on the illusion of privacy and to not mention the risk of the servers being confiscated. edit: This whole Lavabit

    I've been using the FastGlacier GUI client and paying $0.01/GB/mo. Of course Glacier pricing increases for retrieval, early deletion, etc. But there is only one middle-man (Amazon). On OSX, Arq looks like the best client.

    Explain how and by what the Oakland protesters are motivated to protest.

    Mostly opportunists, looters, and lifestyle activists. They're not motivated by the fear of losing something important.

    I've had mine since May. Probably the rubber coating can be destroyed if you clean it too aggressively. Don't rub it with a cloth or an anti-static wipe. That will just cause small fibers to stick to the tacky rubber. How to clea

    It's an untested platform. The physical design is not amazing. It doesn't have the default Android Google experience. Expensive compared to the Nexus 4.

    That's strange since the rubber on my Nexus 4 charger is very tacky, almost too sticky. If your phone is slipping then try cleaning the dust off the rubber on the charger to make it tacky again.
