It was Sweden (with a similar system to Norway) where Frank Abagnale[1] (Catch Me If You Can) spent some time and spoke highly of the penal system of the Scandinavian countries. I think he mentioned they were paid a fair wage, able to take

Oh thanks. I was hoping it would just remove the app from the taskbar and keep the player still on the screen (like winamp). Not quite the same, but it can probably be tweaked in the source.

I might be willing to switch if it can do a minimal interface[1] like Winamp does (depending on the skin). That's what keeps me on Winamp the most. edit: Awesome, it does[2] (if you switch to the winamp classic skin). Just need to find how

Winamp also has a library built into it. Whether one chooses to use it is another thing entirely though.

I still use it for the fact I can reduce its size down to about 1/8" of my screen[1] (on a 23" 1920x1200 monitor) and scroll through my playlist with my mouse scroll wheel while docked on the taskbar of my screen. No other player (windows,

Seeing this reminded me of a few other really old recordings by famous people I've stumbled upon in the past. I still can't get over the amazement of finding these recordings most of us thought anyone would have cared to do or preserve. Joh

If you're using Debian, dotdeb[1] comes with the ngnix-extras (includes the push stream module[2]) installed as well as some other goodies like passenger. [1] http://www.dotdeb.org/2011/12/19/nginx-1-0-11-passenger-3-0-... [2] https://gi

The parent also said that particular app is well established and that his newer apps do not fair as well. While paid apps might not be dead, they are significantly harder to get noticed these days as he also mentioned.

That would be my biggest turnoff. I would say more developers dislike that anyone else, so I'm baffled by the fact it has one.

While I would love to have a mobile device that gets updates for 5 years, I don't believe such a device exists (even Community ROM Projects for Android have troubles keeping up on performance after a couple of years [like the Nexus One]). N

All of what you said is 100% true about T-Mobile USA. Just to amend, their tech support and customer service is similar. From friends I know that deal with them, they outsource all their tech support to firms with employees that can barely

I agree that it does seem that less are probably learning bitwise stuff these days. Anyone that still goes the traditional route of taking Computer Science in school is still at least exposed to them though through taking an assembly/archit

Short of blocking them with a host file addition after finding the adhost, one can block notifications for individual apps via the app info (hold press on notification and select app info). Must be on Android 4.1+ I believe though. I dont t

Not an Android solution, but a Surface Pro could probably play them okay if you don't want a full out computer or laptop.

I miss them too. I make up for it playing the X series[1] and Freespace mods[2]. X series is more like a single player Eve (also has lots of mods like Freespace), while Freespace is more like X-Wing/Tie Fighter. There's even a Star Wars mod

Filesystem is mostly useful for a number of cases (though perhaps not the average person), but I am glad it's there and one can access external storage or /system (read only) without root. It's pretty useful for the following conditions: 1)

If you plan on doing both, which is pretty easy to do with their API (as you can grab all the potential languages from an article and the URL), I think I would think of testing against foreign languages first and then English once you have

100% agree. Typically lack of time is prioritizing it to other distractions that could be removed. Doing some self examination of how one spends their time makes you realize how much time you spend doing other things that could be eliminate

Perhaps sit down 30 minutes before going to sleep and read some? It's doubtful you're doing much right before going to sleep that is productive and it also forces you to lay down and relax before sleeping with the added benefit of accomplis

Removing the clutter is a good solution. I've been doing that for a while to make it easier to read, but I didn't think about it having the side effect of eliminating distractions. I use viewtext (similar results to the parent's solution, b

Perhaps the largest hurdle is convincing users it's worth giving up all the apps they invested in by purchasing that won't carry over to the Tizen ecosystem. Granted that many Android apps are free, but that's only one part. Most users woul

Yeah, I'm kind of used to Opera not always working with everything that it does not phase me anymore after 10 years of use. If it's something I need to see Opera won't render, I either hack around it in Opera or just open Chromium. I also u

I would amend that list and add conscience and the ability to question what is moral or not. Animals in some cases may have limited capabilities, but other animals, such as cats and their sadistic behaviors, I would question.

I think you're confusing popularity with exclusion. Doesn't bother me or make me feel like an outsider because I use Opera as my primary browser and mostly Linux/Windows PCs. It's all a frame of mind and such statements are not really neede

Just to follow up, I've only really used it in metropolitan areas/suburbs and on long trips where I knew the address ahead of time, so I can't comment on accuracy in rural areas or small towns. Guessing it's similar to your situation though

I used it on vacation a lot the other week. Just say "Navigate me to x" or "Directions to y" or "Find the nearest z" and you get it right away in Google Maps/Navigation. Probably my favorite non-passive feature of it. Then when staying at t
