It literally was in 2009 that they dropped drm in the iTunes music store. I'm not sure telling this story really applies any longer.

Maybe, but your point is nothing more than heresay. The speed of light constraint also has nothing to do with light, it is the speed of information travel. What is being proposed by ubeam is like lifting a 50 ton rocket with 10 tons of thru

You know the word chamfer would factor in somehow. :)

No argument there, I use safari both for tab sanity and low battery use, I just don't get the hate for people using many tabs. They're basically stacks of mini bookmarks in my view.
545.
by mitchty 10y ago
Why? I open up a lot of tabs while researching things, and once I have found my solution, I can either review the rest of the tabs or close the window. So what is the human problem with having many tabs exactly?

Seems not too bad in St Paul, though to the west looks not great. https://weather.com/safety/wildfires/news/fort-mcmurray-wild...

Sure, still doesn't give me any hope as to when/if it will get released.

by mitchty 10y ago
Thought this looked familiar, this is from February and they still have the source as "coming soon (tm)". So until that coming soon becomes released I'm not really all that bothered by this thing.

You mean like it did with FX!32 back in 1996 to run x86 stuff on alpha processors? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FX!32 Its not nearly as hard as you think to translate between isas. Some things won't directly tran

Meh, even with a mbp with 16gb of memory, I still want more. I'd like 64 or even 32. I tend to be running enough linux vm's for dev with things like kernel stuff that the more the merrier. That and I'm a bit heavy on the tab

So then give find a proper predicate: $ find /usr -name git -type f -xdev -exec {} -v \;

Your answer implies that the only answer you would accept to the question of if a product contains trace amounts of lead to then be yes. I am stating that is an unrealistic position without explaining why. Much like stating a reply must be

by mitchty 11y ago
Alright, so then we still arrive at what constitutes a requirement to say "yes our products contain the element lead"? Is it 100 parts per million? Note, this is the amount allowed for inks for printing as an example. If yes, at w

by mitchty 11y ago
What is "pure"? Is one atom of lead too much? If so why? Is it realistic to expect perfection? At what cost? In comparison to what? Stating Apple is employing misleading tactics without stating what isn't misleading is dising

Does pr_debug count as a print statement? Cause I use that every day.

I guess I'm glad that my github graph looks like the end of a minesweeper game. >.< Its not that I'm not working, just that most of the stuff I do I tend to either cleanup and squash commits for, or they tend to be very much

Well yeah, its latin. Dis meaning not, order being a more recent english from old french ordre which was more religious order at the time. Words evolve, its useful to know their etymology.

I've wanted exactly this for ages. Would make reproducible builds and distributions simple.

Sure, I wouldn't tell anyone they need to learn C. Far from it to be honest. It is a rabbit hole of epic proportions. If you don't need to use it don't. But being able to drop down to C/assembly is sometimes the only way

The bans of armor piercing bullets have their own reasoning behind them. Banning all bullets would ensure any arguments presented would amount to banning of armaments. It would be akin to banning cars by banning the sale of wheels. You will

Because it wouldn't work. You're purposefully trying to work around the intent of things. Judges tend to take ill view of cute things like that. Besides, ok you ban the sale of ammunition. Now are you going to ban reloaders and se

Ok don't get why I'm getting down voted but I did recall right at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enteroctopus_dofleini#Lifespan... 3-5 years and they're the longer lived octopus.

by mitchty 11y ago
Don't some octopus die young too? Around 3-4 years for certain species. Well not young but more their life span isn't that long.

Fortunately we have irc, lync is more used by managers to find out when people are available. I'll have a look though thanks!

by mitchty 11y ago
Lync actually starts for you? Mine just segfaults on startup. I've given up on it entirely.

Oh they think it, but by my experience BTRFS is crap. This year alone, its managed to "fully compress" open files to 0 bytes about 2-3 times. Why anyone uses it for / or at all right now is beyond me. I think Novell is nuts h
