Of course. "Real" milk. But there are also some downsides of no real regulation. Like… http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSPEK1127320080303

Is there a reason why the panorama isn't joined cleanly at the closest zoom level? (Northeast direction, facing Vysočany.) I don't know how hard is it to make, though.

I'm confused about what would that mean. Is there anything they can't (and want to) do? Or is it all just talking?

My primary email account is a part of paid web hosting service, so, in some sense, I do pay for my email account, even nowadays. I also don't remember email account as a separate service.

It doesn't matter much, but it's a nice and very obvious way of saying "you should run this". You clone the repository, type ls, see one file green, and you can instantly run it, without reading the doc, or guessing.

Could you fix file modes, please? readme.txt file almost certainly doesn't need to be executable for anyone. (Just a minor issue.)

I would also expect hybrid cars to be used more in cities and less outside them, which could also add to a chance to hit someone, because there are more pedestrians in the cities. And so on. The conclusion should rather say, that there is n

While it is possible that I have heard the name before, I didn't remember it. I don't live in the USA and I'm not interested in golf, I might have heard the name few times in similar short notices, like I have heard about thousands of other

Win what? I don't even know who Tiger Wood is. And I certainly don't care if he had some accident or whatever so much, that I would want more than a short notice later that day (in fact, I simply don't need to know it at all). If you think

Well, it's a laptop, so I suspend it when I go somewhere (which is quite often, as it's what I am supposed to do with it). But when I am home for a longer period of time and go out without a need to have the computer with me, then it can ru

What about arbtt? http://hackage.haskell.org/package/arbtt The way it works is superior to most other trackers, as you don't have to care about anything. It's only "flaw" is that it polls only every X seconds, so if you switch the window

Hm, I have never made much notes (mostly none), from my point of view, lectures are useful to get a rough idea about the subject, or "what should I really learn", and then there are textbooks, monographs and other sources to study thoroughl

I wouldn't buy openmoko, as I saw it and it's not a cell phone I'd like to use. While the hardware is nice, hearing "sorry, I couldn't call you because I have flashed my moko and something is broken now" from my friends wasn't exactly the r

ARM netbook with its limited SSD disk space is really a great usecase for something that makes binaries two (three, or even more) times larger, while I need only the binary for ARM. (Yeah, it's not that much for > 100G HDD, still, it ca

It shouldn't be hard to make an binfmt_misc handler that would rip the correct elf from the fatelf thing (or rather a simple tar) and feed it to kernel, so you can just type ./fatelf-something. You can also make it a shell script with the b

Apple, on the other hand, doesn't have anything even close to a package manager, for example. Also, "transition". There is no transition for Linux. Nobody is really interested in completely phasing out an old platform and port everything to

You can do this without fatelf. Put everything you have into a single package and add "shell scripts and flakey logic to pick the right binary and libraries to load". (He fails to mention, that fatelf is nothing more than this, only hardwir

by thingie 17y ago
No, I don't think it will solve this kind of problem. It can do the only thing: pack two different binaries into one file, which is also binary, and the kernel has some extra logic to choose, so it is 'transparent'. While this makes some th

He could write the patch, he could try it and persuade mainline kernel (and glibc and gcc, and...) developers to include it. If the feature is really that useful, he can even maintain it separately, or some Linux distribution can. All of wh

Also, an engine in a car cannot run all the time at the same load, because there are hills, crossroads, faster and slower roads, etc., while a plane operates in much more constant conditions, so the engine can work at roughly the same load

Well, they do. Railways in almost every country relies on diesel engines. Even if most of their lines are electrified, there are diesel shunters and engines for branch lines and factory sidings. And these are vital for freight transport. (E

Is there any surprising recent development concerning European HSRs? There are new lines opening in Spain, France, Germany, lots of ideas in many other countries (UK), but it isn't much faster or bigger than last few decades. There are stil

Possibly, if price of the fuel is, say (it's just a random number, really), 1/3 of all expenses for the railroads, and 1/2 for trucks, then rising cost of oil will hurt trucks more (even if also those 2/3 of other expenses sees some increas

BNSF is a freight railroad network, unsuitable for mass public rail transit. Buffet is getting into the freight service business, not passenger traffic.

I can get drunk for few euros (certainly less than 5), yet I don't feel rich (neither happy). By which I don't mean the article is completely wrong, just the presented metrics are quite strange.

We had a delivery from xkcd store delayed by one month because of few characters with diacritics, which the xkcd store software couldn't handle, and the package was sent back as undeliverable because of the unreadable address. And that was

Even the default config is reasonable and instantly usable, so this complaint really isn't very valid. You really can just install either distribution or cabal package, run it, and get the work done. On the other hand, there are things, tha

"Child in the bunker" question looked quite different (from all others), and not as a variant of trolley problem. Actually, it was the only problem where I thought it's not just permittable but even required to kill it in order to save the
