We had foreign banks who advertised that as a strength and sent their profits to their countries. But when there was a crisis they said we are just a local bank with the same brand as a US bank and won't give the customers their savings back.

Maradona was anti-establishment. Compare Pelé with Sócrates for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B3crates

On debian you can install it with the package dict-gcide

What do you mean with "push it hard"? Maybe try a manual next time. Half of the fun of driving for me is switching gears.

Wouldn't modifying some GNU emacs shortcuts to his liking be easier than mantaining that editor?

I don't know about orbiter but FlightGear uses JSBsim for flight dynamics modeling which can be very accurate and was even used at NASA. You are correct that as space is not the primary use case for FG the shuttle developers had to start from scratch on many things.

This FlightGear's shuttle is the most accurate version. I think the choice of shuttle mission was because of the unusual transpolar trajectory.

Where it says FileName.Extension[,Version] MONITR.EXE,4 What was the version used for? Did it track the changes?

Sure, also it works for me because it is on a system that is frequently turned off. If it would have to stay on for a long time it would fill /tmp with garbage.

I move to /tmp and it gets deleted on next reboot.

I do the same but sometimes I get email from google telling that I should disable access to those unsafe apps.

But then NYC would not be LGA but JFK.

Interesting that they group the machines by IATA airport codes. I guess that's the nearest airport for that datacenter.

People just don't update windows.

That made me remember having to update the BIOS firmware and doing it at 3AM and on a night without wind when there was almost no chance of power going out.

You don't need batteries, you just learn to save your files often. I live in the third world too and can say that even with crappy power supplies computers resist quite well blackouts and brownouts.

Maybe an incorrectly maintained car is less safe.

According to the movie they didn't need to because it was easier to just drop bombs from the air.

So I guess this is the kind of thing that RMS wanted to prevent when he talked against unofficial packages and repos in Emacs.

For a copyleft license to do its job you have to enforce it, otherwise it would be the same as a permissive license.

Ok, but as I know France for good wine and Belgium for beer. I thought the weather was part of what made those special.

Are the metereological conditions in Belgium somewhat similar as for the calendar to make sense?

Or embed your own bounty so the leaker knows if he is being betrayed.

You are probably right, but I think that is because those activists might feel that with such asymmetry of power that is their only resort.

This is an interesting analysis of software freedom without copyright http://culturalliberty.org/blog/index.php?id=278 Basically GPL would not be needed to restore a freedom which would no longer be restricted.

Yes, they use mostly young pines which are easily chipped. I think in about 6 years you can cut them for paper.

Here in south America paper mills work with massive pine plantations, in deforested land or in former wetlands.

Argentina paid, and we will keep on paying. Don't worry.

My bank returns an icon I chose after I enter my username, I think that would have helped me recognize something was wrong.

I think he was trying to make the point that the embarrassmen of not knowing the capital was going to make that fact stay in the journalists head for much more time that the mere fact of hearing it mentioned. Even if there is no logic on naming cities.

You could also try the shuttle in FlightGear (a free software flight simulator), it's quite impressive, you can fly it with NASA's manual. http://www.flightgear.org/tours/an-experience-like-no-other/
