You don't need third party crap when you're getting a machine with Apple Maps and iTunes. Don't Microsoft make it easy to remove all the crap ware these days?

"gets"? You mean processes? Or obtains, like from buying the information, reading emails etc?

Yes, 'same day' and "same-day" both convey the same meaning.

It's not that you won't get the money back this time, but that they will refuse to sell you anything in future.

In many instances, such as here, they don't make you verify an email sign up. Always worth a try. For grins I always make up an email address at the site's own domain.

You probably meant "I couldn't care less" - that is, there is nothing I care less about.

Mine was me observing the similarity of the previous two. If there was any difference there then it was too polite/subtle for me.

Sounds like a bit of a waste of time to me. What are the odds Linus is going to update the git documentation with my list of handy shortcuts? He'll just swear at me. I don't think the official documentation is the place for it; not now it's been written the way it has. I'm happy with the book + my notes on gitlab.

No, I don't agree. Git has great documentation but if you want to know how to use it you either spend 15 minutes reading the relevant part of the big free book or you Google for a cheat sheet. Same goes for vim. I don't know why but some people are satisfied with documentation which, although not incorrect, only makes sense when you already have a substantial understanding of the topic at hand.

The act of writing down your own cheat sheet helps you to learn it.

I can't really do much with the numbered options there but I'd just like to point out that Thai has no spaces between words. I know six year olds who can read Thai properly so I don't know about trained performers or whatever.

From the people who brought you uptalking? and the Indian Head Wobble, comes another thing which means absolutely nothing.

Judging by the name it'll be safe to wipe them out everywhere except Egypt then?

Bit of a stretch. You can argue that art is communication, but you can have communication without art and that's how I'd describe use of tech in the Arab Spring. I'm sure some people think Banksy is changing the world but we've had Brexit and Trump on his watch. Perhaps I'm being unduly harsh though, and we're just a few pretentious faux-warhol wall daubings from freedom.

One for the UK would be great too.

Ah yes, the "art terrorist". Someone who has spent too much time sniffing paint cans and not enough time studying history.

... by literally four people.

Something they had in common with their victims. I quite like the idea. And being Japanese and familiar with the law this would have been taken into account when they decided to randomly kill innocent people so they were cool with it too.

It's worth the risk?:

This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.justinobeirne.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure. What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue. Technical Details I Understand the Risks

Use sqllite instead of git? Or git should use sqllite? If the latter then one problem is you'd need to keep your own fork forever as they don't accept patches. I'm not sure if that's a price worth paying to reduce the number of files git uses. Why is this a problem for you, anyway?

I did this once but this won't save you from forced updates keeping your laptop alive (and hot, and at risk of corruption if it happens when you have to fly/drive somewhere and you weren't expecting an update), plus once Windows took issue with the state of the disk I was sharing between it and Linux (NTFS format) and did a chkdsk which deleted most of the files from it. That was the last time I ran any Microsoft code outside of a VM (Or my employer's kit).

Comparing printing out part of a web page for your own personal use with stealing something is just odd. What if you frame it and turn it round to face the wall when you have guests?

I see you didn't defend France there!

Oh yes. My trips to countries such as Thailand, Italy, Holland, Japan, Denmark, the US (Pittsburgh, LA, NY) and Spain can never end quickly enough. The thought occurs to me that you've only visited France and whatever they're calling Czechoslovakia this year.

"The burden of proof is on the commenter posting the claims."

The burden of the person who wants to learn rather than argue is to do research for themselves. I don't care whether you believe me or not - I mean, why would I?

I think a lot of people have my email address. You don't hear people worrying about spam so much these days (other than people who have the time and inclination to run their own mail servers). So it would seem to be a small price to pay to keep tabs on your passwords.

I use Firefox. Are you saying I'm now less safe? If I'm more safe but some other people don't like the solution then I guess they can configure or fork Firefox then we're all happy, right?

No. I remember uk TV shows in the 1980s which featured people going through the official channels to get a problem resolved and it magically only happened when the guy from the company concerned was invited onto the show to explain what was going on.

I'm not talking about hypothetical rape allegations. I'm talking about the Assange rape allegations. Educate yourself about the subject before just talking about it otherwise what's the point?

Yes, the charges aren't going away. And because the girl was talked into the rape accusation and then tried to back out of it makes it a set up.
