Moulin Rouge. Captures a lot of the cinematography you see in Snatch, and it's a musical. Great story, great writing, and great performances curtain to curtain.

That might be pretty sound. The center of gravity is still low and depending on the materials used for that pontoon, it might require a significant list before it would capsize. I'd want to know that someone who designed it did the calculations, but it might be pretty secure.

Seems like that should be a problem already. I have family that was in the music industry and collected royalties. They won a few Grammys, so the royalties were substantial. Their estate should not continue to receive royalties indefinitely. Hell, as much as I loved them, they shouldn't be collecting indefinitely. They worked hard their entire life and because of that hard work, they deserved to live comfortably in retirement until they passed, but they weren't owed anything they didn't deserve. And as much as I love their kids, they're family too, it isn't as though they deserved any income for something their parent did decades earlier, before they had families of their own.

This has happened several times to my Pi-Hole. Even with backups, trying to get my network back online still takes too long. I haven't found a good solution for resilience yet.

I tried it on my Nexus 5 as well. It didn't work well for my needs at that time, so I went back to putting Android on it.

What are a set of tools I can recommend to my employer, which increase productivity of office workers, and which provide greater value than a hybrid office policy?

The video cable does a similar trick with how it supports color. This is why S-Video was superior to composite video until component came along. S-Video split the intensity and color into two signals and then component split the color further into a blue difference and a red difference. If you only wanted black and white, you didn't need to use the color signals and the image would degrade to a monochrome representation.

The composite video, with only one video signal wire, was similar to what was received over the antenna, with the broadcast signal separated from the carrier signal and the audio sub bands removed. It was the video signal with the color signal still combined. The progression from Antenna -> Composite -> S-Video -> Component -> DVI-I -> DVI-D -> HDMI -> Display Port has been an interesting one. The changes in the digital realm have been less about the image quality, the digital signal can either be read or not, and more about the bandwidth and how much data can be sent, aka resolution and framerate. Those first four transitions in particular had significant impact on the image quality.

I read what you said and completely missed it. It's there, but pretty hidden. Might not even be known. I'm not sure that makes it bold.

This is why it works so well. It's also one of the reasons I prefer vi over other text editors. It isn't always the most logical which commands and keys do what, but I like the consistency.

WinFS wasn't a replacement of NTFS as much as it was a supplement. Documents could be broken apart into atomic pieces, like an embedded image and that would be indexed on its own. Those pieces were kept in something more like a SQL database, more like using binary blobs in SharePoint Portal, but that database still was written to the disk on an NTFS partition as I recall. WinFS was responsible for bringing those pieces back together to represent a compete document if you were transferring it to a non-WinFS filesystem or transferring to a different system altogether. It wasn't a new filesystem as much as it was a database with a filesystem driver.

It'll be an anti-clockwise spinning X, with speed lines extending from the tips.

/r/oldbabies... I have some ideas for where I'm taking that sub.
