It's a bit hard to take this serious because of the hyperbole, but I'll bite on the services bit: how is that different? Supose you didn't use linux for a decade, then went to a linux box with a desktop environment and looked

Hmm, read this after I posted my other comment :) So, is that a setting? Does a search for "nonexistin gcrap" return no results for you then? It does for me..
633.
by stinos 6y ago
This would be my main complaint about DDG: when there are no results for quoted search terms (but not when it's a single quoted term) it will just ignore the quotes and give results which most of the time are completely not what I ne

people who write newspaper articles, etc.. still need to get paid They sure do. But seeing the majority out there does want to see ads or doesn't care about seing them, it's not like they won't get paid at all. And indeed t

Or the fourth one, no ads? I might be the minority but ads are wasted on me anyway (apart from the annoyance of seeing them).

Ok fair enough, but that's not really what I understood when I read 'new appetizing vegetarian recipes', that's almost orthogonal :)

new appetizing vegetarian recipes I personally don't see what is lacking in this area, can you elaborate on what you think is missing? Do you have vegetarian or vegan cookbooks? Just like there meaty counterparts, they usualy have mo

'feel' and 'like' are pretty much in the same boat here, I think. I mean is the person you're responding to really going to claim to like something which doesn't feel good (esp. since it's about themes, an

Can you elaborate on what is so good about the old reddit layout, or bad about the new one (apart from performance)? The way I use reddit, what it does now actually works better for me (again, apart from how slow it is): I subscribe to a mi

In combination with the ChocolateyGet provider for Powershell this works pretty well actually. It's not apt-get or similar, but it does get rid of the point-click installation for quite a lot of common software.

I’m probably not supposed to be bothered by this Why not? I'd argue it's better to be bothered by it than just exclaim "ok it's for science" without any critical view. Anyway: it's extremely common especially

It annoys me so much that MS failed in this, just like they have failed in premium laptops Not sure if they did (literally, I don't know the numbers) but laptops like Dell XPS or Surface Pro are still premium range I think, maybe jus

Bowden states that it is unlikely that this new subsystem will support Google Play as Google does not allow this service to be installed on non-native Android or ChromeOS devices So how does Bluestacks get away with that? Or is it conside

If you fail, it's not the world that's hard or unfair (it naturally is both), but again it's a personal failing on your part for not trying hard enough Thing is, if you just strip the part about 'not trying hard enough

that wealth doesn't usually dribble down You're not alone with that opinion, in fact I thought it was established by now the trickle-down effect in economics is a myth (or at least I read so)?

You mean weight/drag related? That's tough to guess i.e. if you take something with roughly the same features and internal volume as an SUV it could be lighter (not necessarily), it's wheelbase is normally lower which helps b

The decade(s) before SUVs had cars big enough to pack all that, I grew up in one. Seeing all other comments I think it's going to be a combination of reasons which make actually a difference with other cars and cannot be found in that

by stinos 6y ago
Thanks for the info but same remark as for other comments: we're talking 40% here, so while this is a possible reason for a part of that it cannot possibly explain that number entirely, I think. I'm not that young, but my grandma

by stinos 6y ago
I completely understand this, but your RAM and your use for it is nothing like the 40% of cars sold in Europe (apart from the 'just throw it in' perhaps but that goes for other types as well).

by stinos 6y ago
That last one is interesting, but the first argument works just as well for cars like Volkswagen Sharan etc which are also very popular and given all things perhaps cheaper?
651.
by stinos 6y ago
Bit off-topic perhaps, but he SUV popularity remains baffling to me especially in this age. That's maybe because I'm looking from the wrong angle or I'm just wrong when it comes to physics. In general I see a pretty big car w

At first sight the thing which differs most from an actual lamp is that if two blobs collide they merge and then 'unmerge' only to continue with same shape and in in the same direction as before the collision. Takes away some of t

Never had this myself for network, but I can imagine if the wires are close enough together and the light switch sparks enough (or draws enough power) it could happen. Actually this is our 'standard' way of intentionally messing u

When I started with that idea a lot of people considered it crazy. But for some jobs I've had the trouble of not having a network in some places was so annoying that I thought: not in my place. For me it totally paid off, it's jus

Sorry should have been more clear; I'm an eletronics engineer so I know what crosstalk is, it's just that I didn't understand how this would be an actual problem with CAT5. Phone line, that's something else though. If a

Looks like some icons objectively became harder to recognize: there used to be icons with a special shape which makes them stand out, the new ones are all square using color as filler. The brain's visual system uses both color and shap
