GNU sort yes. The BSD sort included in MacOS has somewhat inferior performance.

There are quite a few implications of the standard unix tools and not all are created equal.

Does anything on gog require the client for single player? That would be an unfortunate turn on their earlier messaging. Terrible they compromised on multiplayer with Planetary Annihilation.

Just want to point out that I work for Rave Mobile Safety and Smart911 is a product, not the name of the company.

Would be interesting, except 10nm, and 7nm are marketing terms with no basis in reality, and are actually the same. https://www.eejournal.com/arti...

It's worth noting that this pilot was not UBI; there was a means test for getting the money, and the amount of money received directly corresponded to income. It was basically a welfare reform pilot using the hot trendy words of the day: https://www.ontario.ca/page/on...

Also it was killed because there was an election, a different party got in, and said different party has been killing every program the previous government instituted on principal.

Not exactly, but they do confuse the issue. If you notice, only the Wopper is being delayed, and it's being delayed despite being able to be served faster. Other sandwiches like Chicken (as pointed out in the ad) do not require waiting in the slow line.

If we assume Woppers are a substitute for torrents then the net neutrality parallel is obvious - unfortunately the target audience for the commercial won't make the connection.

Because when you display a frame in a video player you hold that frame for a certain duration against the computers clock which is measured in nanoseconds (or milliseconds). To calculate that duration at present you take the quotient (e.g. 25/60 * 1000 (or 1000000000)) given you a floating point approximation of the actual frame duration. Now in reality that approximation is pretty good; at least if you do the calculation properly to avoid exaggerating early rounding error.

What this proposal does is ensure that the number you get is a whole number of flicks, so no approximations are necessary. Unfortunately it only helps if you have a flick timer that you can time against, so it needs OS and hardware support to be useful.

Not to be confused with Flatpak ...

Near field communication is what it is; and wikipedia knows more about it than I do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

If you don't want to read that: It's a wireless communication protocol that requires very close proximity, used for mobile payment, and sometimes to transfer settings to new phones.

Why is that related to the clicking noise? Well my first guess of interference is thrown out by the fact that they can fix it in software; maybe someone can shed light on this?

SELinux?

In order to get the partnership, Google had to agree to 20% affordable housing, which in Toronto means rented out at less than 80% of the average rent for housing in Toronto. What that means for the rest of the area - no idea.

In addition to Alain's comments about the UK customers, there was also 100K Canadians affected: http://www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Also, while no one was known to be affected, Argentina's Equifax employee portal was found to be gated by the username/password admin/admin: http://www.bbc.com/news/techno...

Yes - plus a bunch of filler to appease the slashdot comment rules.

"Humane or not, what is so especially "undignified" about rats? What makes them worse, than, for example, cats, deer or wild horses?"

The author of the summary has obviously never had a rat infestation. They can swim, dig several feet down, chew through concrete, plastic, wood, drywall, and otherwise go to amazing destructive measures to get to a heat or food source. Unlike mice, keeping your food in the cupboard or Tupperware containers is useless as they chew right through them, and destroy your home's foundation while they are at it. No, rats are not at all like wild horses, cats, or deer. Rats are a special kind of hell.

If you need an ecological reason. The destructive urban rats are an invasive species, not native to North America. We brought them here - and I for one applaud every effort to get rid of them.

Somehow letting people in a nightclub carry doesn't seem like the best idea I've heard all day. (You've been to a nightclub right?)
