but I can just picture trying to explain to the average Windows end user how to install and use Cygwin.
He's referring to the library, not the software environment. It's just a DLL that you package with your software.
but I did notice the internet's smug meter had dropped about 30%.
Norwegian detected.
Nobody in their right mind uses Playboy for masturbation.
So you prefer National Geographic, then?
I hate to break it to you but that statement is contradictory.
Contrary to popular belief, not everyone that is born New England is from Southy.
I'm a peaceful Norwegian with two (many years ago) convictions for possession of small amounts (1-2 joints) of marihuana. My grandmother wants to take me to visit our family in Boston next year, and I'm not looking forward to it at all because of one thing only: US border control and visa stupidity.
The ironic part is that possession of that small an amount of marijuana isn't a criminal offense in Boston due to a law passed last year.
thanks to the Freedom of Information Act that was passed by Democrats over the objections of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Scalia.
What you are referring to are the amendments to the FOIA in 1974. The FOIA itself was passed in 1966 and signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson.
President Ford vetoed the amendments to FOIA, but was overridden by congress. The House voted 371-31 to override the veto, and the Senate voted 65-27.
If you want to read the full story, I suggest looking here, as there are links to scans of the actual documents involved.
Weirdly enough, Johnson was against FOIA, and Rumsfeld was originally for it.
This is most useful when you are on a laptop and the battery might die in sleep.
Laptops don't need to use hybrid sleep mode, because they've had the ability for a while to hibernate when the battery starts to get low, thus saving the running state.
Oddly enough, in Windows, It IS on by default for desktops.
That's because hybrid sleep is meant for desktops, not laptops. Since desktops don't usually have a battery backup, a power outage will cause you to lose your running applications. Hybrid sleep was meant to fix this problem for desktops.
There is a better way: (http://easypark.bm/) Just launched in Bermuda.
It's just plain sad when a 21 mile long island with excellent public transportation and near perfect weather has a better parking payment option than Chicago.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
