No. I want it to be in corrected but not adjusted color. It gets hard to see some stuff in some video otherwise. It probably ought to be a config flag, though.

Perhaps a program is also needed to manage resolv.conf, but it doesn't need to be a daemon. Or, if you're willing to use a daemon, you can have a user-space caching resolver, like dnsmasq.

Repeat guests? C'mon, really? You shop for hotels the same way the rest of us do - Either your employer tells you "you will stay here", or you use a price search and pick the lowest place that doesn't mention rats in the toilet.

Would you book a place that mentions complaints along the lines of "The bathroom is clean, but cell phones of any provider don't work here and the room phone is 2 dollars per minute?"

As for the employer: the travel offices of big companies who regularly have their people work on site at major customer or other offices will consider putting their employees somewhere else if they all complain about a particular hotel. The repeat customer is not the individual person, but the employer.

In my time in IT, that's what I've seen. There was an update to the 3com 905 drivers back in the day that BSOD's systems, since then there have been more rigorous driver testing. After that there was the recent Windows 7 update that had a problem on some systems. We didn't see any issues on any of our some 400 Windows 7 systems, but I did verify it was real. MS rolled it back with another automated patch.

Oh and I suppose XP SP3 though that wasn't automatic, and the only systems it "broke" were ones with Malware infections so I hardly count that.

So... ya... Personally, I'll take an issue ever decade or so in trade for having a system that it up to date. However, if you'd rather not patch your stuff go ahead, just don't do it on my network, I'll block you.

You are right, A rolls Royce is complete Cat Shit. They are rolling turds with leather.

Anyone with any IQ on cars knows that RR = complete and utter shit. They are built like shit, made from shit, and are not designed for anything but to sit in a service department getting fixed.

a large number of people cant install 10.10.1 as it stops at "about 4 minutes remaining" and just sits there for days. Apple refuses to acknowlege the problem or offer a solution.

The story is BS. All employees do not get the cards to hand out. I have several friends that still work at Comcast, and none of them have the cards or have heard of them before this story broke.

You needed to dig down one more link from TFA, and read TFA linked from TFA, which says "(Incidentally, the acronym âoeAPMâ comes from âoeArduPilot Mega. âoeIt was originally based on the Arduino Mega, back in the day, and the initials stuck,â wrote 3D Robotics CEO Chris Anderson in an email to LinuxGizmos.)" That puts (from TFA, not TFA^2) "3DRâ(TM)s popular, Arduino-based APM (ArduPilot Mega) platform" in a different light.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any good pictures of the flip side of the Pixhawk Fire, mostly it's crap like which just underscores the stupidity of using flash while shooting electronics, or at damned near any other time. So I can't actually tell what's on there. It's possible that there's not actually an AVR on that board, but then, it's possible that there is :p

The most awesome cars, bought at just the right time, will only appreciate. And now there are numerous shows which will help you identify those vehicles at the right time, and not afterwards, notably stuff we can all watch on Youtube these days. But yeah, those other things are just ways to bleed money.

I think the point, though, was that even at a pretty high burn rate, if you have big stupid money you can spend your whole life just spending your money on awesome things as long as you don't waste it on stuff you can't even really appreciate, like homes with so many rooms you won't even visit them all once. If I had $200M I could live as fat as I want to now for the rest of my life without running out of money just by putting the parts I wasn't currently using into guaranteed investments.

But your example is bollocks, because Costeaux's bakery has raised the price on their walnut-cinnamon bread because they were selling it out too early. Raising the price has two results. One, customers buy less of it at once, so they are more likely to have stock in when someone comes in, which makes it more likely that this particular customer will come in again. Two, they make more per unit, so they make more. Not rocket surgery.

In other words, bakers will increase cost to make demand, so you're just wrong.

Food is a place where you are particularly wrong because you cannot maintain quality while increasing quantity. It takes a certain amount of time and effort to produce quality product, not everyone can work together, et cetera. Also, you cannot simply add more ovens to your bakery unless it actually has room for them, and most don't because space has overhead which you pay for whether you're making full use of it or not. Thus, commercial spaces tend to be as small as possible for a given job. Adding more ovens to a bakery may well be impossible.

The world is a lumpy place.

That would be stupid, and so your idea is stupid, because you're demanding that other people behave stupidly. You don't operate a private transportation concern below cost. You just don't. Not for a minute and not for a mile. But you do charge what the market will bear, and in fact capitalism works better when you do that, because if you are leaving a market underserved then someone else will crop up to fill it, and otherwise the capital is not transferred away from those who have the most of it, who should pay more if they are going to receive preferential treatment. If you're against preferential treatment, then you should be against capitalism, and so you should not be okay with surge pricing.

Now, if private car services became the primary mode of transportation, you might begin to subsidize them, so that they could operate in the mode which you suggest. But then you'd have the problem that the poor could only afford to go places at certain times. The rich would surely love this, but it's even more unfair than the current situation.

We're talking about people who willfully build and rebuild homes that cannot take the stress of recurring natural disasters in a place where those disasters occur not merely occasionally, but regularly. And, I might add, in your example we have people who willfully build and rebuild flammable homes in areas known for their wildfires. That should be illegal and prohibited by code but instead it is enshrined in law.

That is wildly different from the given scenario, and your bringing it up here is pure prevarication. In the given scenario, some people who would incur costs helping to solve a problem are not permitted to profit from solving the problem, eliminating the motivation to do so. In your scenario, some people who are already paid to solve the problem under our current model are demanding additional payment. Do you see the problem here? Proposing to reduce government interference in commerce is not the same as proposing to eliminate government services, and your suggestion that it is so is disingenuous. You know better. Stop lying.

The simple fact is that by not buying a generator ahead of time, these people have incurred additional costs. They know that they need one, but they are content to permit someone else to solve their problems for them. It's simply not appropriate to build your life around the use of electricity, live someplace where it goes out regularly, and not have a plan for solving that problem. Instead, people on the other side of the country wind up having to subsidize your lifestyle. Government interference in this area might reasonably require you to own your own backup power source (or subscribe to one on your block, perhaps, if our grid were capable of behaving like a grid — hint, it isn't) but it isn't reasonable to prevent people from coming in and offering to sell you a timely solution at whatever price the market will bear. That is rank hypocrisy, especially at a time of ongoing financial crisis. If you propose to prevent people from selling generators at inflated prices to people who need them right now, then what do you have to say about the general manipulation of energy prices? We all need energy all the time, and many people are barely able to pay their bills as it is. Your "modern society" includes the concept of charging whatever the market will bear for energy every day, it is unfair to people in bad situations every day. You're okay with that being nationalized, institutionalized, but not okay with it happening on an individual level.

You were given a concrete example of government interference in the name of fairness exacerbating a problem, and instead of conceding the point or at least considering it, you rejected it out of hand and brought up irrelevant examples to support your point. That is not thinking worthy of sharing.

It presents the same problem as systemd. Take one problem, solving wifi connections, and then make a tool which unnecessarily manages all aspects of networking. dhclient manages to remain long-running and handle the DHCP operations for an interface, all that was needed was the equivalent wifi daemon. Once you step beyond the simplest configurations, Network-Manager has always become an impediment and not an assistant.

Or for Android, since the summary implies mobile devices, there's Twilight.

Or for Unix, since this is slashdot you fucking savage, Redshift.

On Unix, sadly, only Adobe Flash player detects color corrections and plays your video in proper color. Neither Google nor Mozilla have figured this out for flash video, either. Also, Flash player is the only video player which properly suppresses the screensaver on Linux. What year is it?

That's funny, that's just what I was going to say about the revisionism rampant in religion. You Christians can't even manage to accurately copy your holy book, while other more competent faiths have been doing it for centuries.
