I am not entirely sure, but I think you GDB the STDOUT, grep the bin, and if that doesn't work, reroute the auxiliary phase array to the main deflectors. It works every time. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you write KDE UI co

So hopefully you have a way of generating HTML/CSS that will throw errors if you have incorrect or missing data. Beyond that, rendering a lot of things on one page is a good strategy. Among other benefits, it forces you to modularize your c

I wrote an opera in a language I made up, using a scale and chords of my own invention, which obviously can only be played on instrumentation that I have devised. It's very nice, but now I need to find some viewers who have been kept in sen

I haven't tried most of the alternatives mentioned on this page. I primarily use: [a] the command line. [b] git gui, (occasionally) for reviewing commits. [c] meld, for all merge and diff-related tasks. [d] gitk, pretty much only for viewin

Bitcoin is to a first approximation not used as a unit of account, and that I feel is its biggest failure as a currency. Roman coinage, and subsequently Carolingian livres, were used as a unit of account centuries after they stopped existin

So what? You're describing a bug, not an optimization.

On the one hand, I agree with most everything MMM says. On the other hand, a life of consumerism is its own reward -- and who is to say it is not earned? I am nomadic. I have no dependents, and a severe case of wanderlust. My impression, af

So in my experience, that was not the hard part of learning French, or Spanish for that matter. For someone coming from a non-gendered language, the gender of nouns is taxing to memorize. Often knowing what the correct word is and how it is

I am from time to time involved in the development of the CakePHP framework, at least often enough to have strong opinions on specific weak parts of the framework. I think your project might have potential, but the lack of tests and compose

Let us consider a world where all copyrights were enforced to the letter in every instance. This is a world mostly imprisoned, or ruined by debt. Let us further consider a world where 10% of all copyrights were enforced. The world may be le

Absolutely. In a similar sense,we recognize that privacy is a right which is not enforceable in public, or for celebrities. It's possible that an expectation of privacy on the Internet is also unreasonable. You're not making the point you t

Why have copyright at all? More to the point, if you're going to have it, how are you going to enforce it on the Internet? The number of ways in which a high-quality digital copy of a potentially copyrighted work is nearly infinite. Some o

"Later on" being what? 1777 is year 2 of 8. All of the sources that I've been able to find give the number of foreign-supplied arms as being significantly greater than those of US manufacture. For example, the first shipment of French rifle

An 8MB linux kernel is not really all that small. These instructions [0] look like they produce a kernel weighing in at about 800kb, without any significant hacking. A web server occupies another couple of MB. The TinyCore Linux distributio

Linux Mint has a Debian Edition. I think it's based off Testing rather than Unstable. That would probably be my default recommendation for newbies. Personally I'm using Crunchbang, which is minimalist, lightweight, based on Stable, and come

Ubuntu starts with Debian unstable (usually) and adds their own bugs. I fully expect it to break when updating. I had an enthusiastic period of Ubuntu and Fedora use. It seems stability is a virtue most appreciated in its absence; these day

No, those regions will not become good for agriculture just by being heated. There is no soil there. In places where the ground is frozen permanently (permafrost), i.e. most places above the Arctic Circle, there is essentially no decomposit

You can always get a job working in an Alaskan cannery. Most coastal towns will have one. It is not crap work -- it's fish guts work. They will probably pay minimum wage, which is $7.25 an hour at the moment, but generally you can work as m

I used to doodle, which eventually made me think that I had some predilection for art. It was only partially true, and likely only in the sense that you refer to -- that anyone can do it. Drawing something that you see is a purely mechanica
