Shows that it's working!

Wasn't it that episode where the air conditioning was broken?

I'm sure it's illegal in several jurisdictions.

When you compare the number of drivers in the linux and plan9 systems, it's not surprising.

It finds whatever works the fastest

For a very lax definition of "works"...

Kind of agree with the rest of your points. Remember though, that the suggestions it gives you, for things you're not familiar with may very well be terrible ones that are frowned upon. So it's always best to triple check what it outputs, and only use it for broad suggestions.

Ok, that's good to know. Thanks.

According to AI, most of the iceberg is under the water, so it's not really dangerous for boats, only for submarines.

Can this wasted silicon even be used for anything productive? Especially if one doesn't run a commercial system?

Because it's plausible that amd will follow suit.

Weight loss is a measure of taking in fewer calories than you burn. That's the formulae.

That's how people usually think of it, but there are other, faster, ways. Such as amputation.

No. Because my mp3 directory was created long before 2012. And the actual data formats inside it are irrelevant. :)

Still not "most important". It was purely a marketing ploy to sell breakfast junk.

 

I was just watching "American Primeval", when it occurred to me (again) that the US was a place where oddball religions could prosper. Two recent successful examples of very weird ones being Mormons and Scientology (although the latter is a bit less successful lately).

Why is it that weird things catch on so readily in the US?

Of course, the "founders" were people that were kicked out of everywhere else because they were trying to convert them to their extremist religious views (and yet US people are fond of trying to find family ties to them... "hey, my great, great, great grand father was a religious lunatic! But yours wasn't")

So now, Mormons (Jews totally rowed to the US, for some reason, and then Jesus came there, and there were horses, and cities, and there's absolutely no archaeological trace, probably because god) have an astounding foothold despite their creed (I'm saying this because I have read the book of Mormon).

Then there's Scientology, and I don't even know where to begin with that one, given how fucked up it is... If you don't know about it, start with Wikipedia.

Also (probably not finally, there's certainly more) there's the innumerable bizarre Christianity stuff in the US. It's such a mess. I don't even think that most of the evangelical groups are technically Christians.

So apparently,, in the US, anything goes. The holy Flying Spaghetti Monster, blessed be it's meat balls, showed us that. But then what?

The problem with the typical US "let anyone do whatever" is that vulnerable get fleeced at best.

 

Plasma 6 changed the way scrollbars work for some reason. Now when you click somewhere with mouse1 the elevator jums there and the window content scrolls accordingly.

Previously, it would scroll by one window's worth in the appropriate direction. If you wanted to jump to a given location, you just used mouse2 (typically the scroll wheel button nowadays). It has worked that way everywhere for literally decades.

After reading the very weird explanation for the change, I can only conclude that the devs don't even know how to use their interface.

Hence my question, is there a setting somewhere to switch back to the traditional behaviour?
