I don't perceive any blame in the comment you are responding to, only observations relating to the history of bridges and the responsibility that comes with it. What did you feel was assigning blame when you read it?

C-b is pretty bad for the same reason for users like me with with well-worn emacs key memory. I end up using the backtick, but it does make sharing a session that little bit more difficult.

I hope you will believe me when I say that you will probably be able to get what you want out of an Adderall scrip a few times... But I suspect you won't get much more out of it than some code, and it will not get the move out of your

Unlike the OP dough, the pizzas at artichokes in NYC has always been mediocre. Going west on 14th st to the Joe's will get a better crisp slice in a hotter oven. I can't imagine that they are better in SF if that's what we&

I am not an expert, but I have bought a couple of small emeralds (in Bahia, Brazil) as a tourist. Part of the spiel that the seller had regarding why emeralds were special was that it is tricky to cut the gem without causing unwanted break

Comparing an underground rail system to a surface bus system is apples and oranges. What lets the transit app do this is a that the MTA just enable Wi-Fi and cell signals in all underground stations after a long build-out so that the data c

By my recent reading of the AWS docs, those pool addresses are not run by Amazon. They are DNS names that allow NTP load from AWS to the NTP pool to be distributed more fairly.

I have heard this too. However when working with SQL server it was generally recommended (iirc) that fibers not be used except, and were only goof for very specific niches.

Well, since 2010 Sun has died, and opensolaris is no more. It lives on as an open source effort called Illumos. At one point, solaris could run Linux binaries unmodified under a solaris kernel and userspace. That became un-maintained, bu
