I suppose I'm in a minority, but for me, all I want is the games. And those existed, in non physical form, before (or at least alongside) Steam. There were several stores that would simply let you buy the ability to download an install

Many people just use it for emphasis.

Pro tip: If you don't want to come off as negative, don't start your post with the words "I get really irritated" ;) I'm still confused about what you really meant, since your first and second paragraphs really were

Avoiding a food court is relatively easy. There are other ways to acquire and consume food. Avoiding airplanes pretty much means you never travel longer than a thousand km or so. That's a fairly big restriction. (also, "a whiff of

Do you have any hints on how to set up a similar system? Links, guides, gotchas, whatnot? I've seen someone mention this setup before (perhaps it was you?) and I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in running something sim

Well, there's plenty of password managers that are free software. Why not use those?

So, this one particular language is always case insensitive, except when it isn't. Well, then... that clears it all up.

RND(1) returns a value between 0 and 1, but always lower than 1. Thus, the result of 205+RND(1) will always be 205 point something, which in turn will be truncated to 205. Thus, it will always result in the same character.

To each their own is a reasonable philosophy when you apply it to individuals. It's not quite so reasonable when you apply it to countries, as countries are anything but a 100% homogeneous set of individuals. Perhaps some people in K

When it comes to learning awk, my suggestion is to read the man file of one of the simpler implementations; original-awk [0] or plan9's[1] awk. They lack the GNU additions (many of which admittedly are useful), but they decrease the l

What do you mean by "threadsafe" here? Could dict.items() actually break in Python 2? I've never seen that happen.

Not a problem, but it's still a valid question. I'm all for people writing alternatives to existing tools. I've done so myself multiple times. But when you start promoting your alternative, "so what's does it do

That's the traditional definition of "free" (as in beer).

Not that I downvoted, but the attitude annoys me. As a developer you have two options: 1) Do nothing and support all valid addresses (that your mail system can handle) 2) Spend development time to make your system not support all valid ad

Perhaps the hordes of previous complainers, unlike Paul Vixie, complained to the black hole that is Google support, so we never heard of it :)

Well, that works up to a point. Fore some, that point might be considered a bit too close to zero... $ printf "%d\n" 009 sh: 1: printf: 009: not completely converted 0

Ah, timing other shell functions is a use case I hadn't considered. Yes, then you're out of luck I suppose.

There's an actual program, usually installed in /usr/bin/time. The shell builtin is not really necessary.

While the numbers sound outrageous, they seem to be at least roughly the same as reported elsewhere. "The average price for a Shanghai plate soared to 75,000 yuan ($12,000) at the city’s license plate auction over the weekend, roughly

Most, by a wide margin. I checked with my bank, and they seem to have ten offices in the whole country with cash. I happen to live "only" 7 km or so from one (and I live in the center of a big (by Swedish standards) city), but m

TFL apparently meaning "Transport for London," in case I'm not the only person this wasn't obvious to.

You did not only change the word "software" to "work". You also changed the word "free" to "free". Just because those two words happen to be spelled the same way in the English language, that does not

I always enter that date into systems that ask for my birth date (unless there's actually good reason for them to know it). I have never experienced any problems.

Packages in the official Debian archives are generally well behaved. Unofficial packages, sometimes less so. There was an incident a couple of months ago where a package (from Microsoft, incidentally) replaced your /bin/sh with ba
