If they don't need to alter the documents you send them, why aren't you sending it as pdf?

Also if you want to make something look really nice, Word is probably a bad choice. LaTeX is lovely in that regard. Higher learning curve sure but once you've used it a bit you'll never go back to crappy old things like word.

Are there any freely available documents large enough that you can link to that demonstrate this problem?

Not saying it doesn't exist, just have not encountered it and like to test things, tend to use LaTeX myself only using LibreOffice for opening other peoples stuff.

Might want to check your history on that. Initial deployment of electricity was done where it made the most sense first, and it took decades to be available to all.

The most wasteful and expensive parts of the nbn seem to be down already, among them a 3,800km link from darwin to toowomba servicing only 160k people.

I never understood this "we need to put fibre to thousands of km in the middle of nowhere with only a few thousand population" mentality, surely the cities and denser populations provide better cost/benefit.

Because he recognizes that behaviours can be influenced by nature and not only nurture? We shouldn't expect everything to always come 50% down the line because people are allowed to choose what they want to do in life. All we can do is try to make things fair to everyone involved and try to eliminate irrelevant criteria being used for problems.

Don't get me wrong, he is a giant douche at times, but a labor world where we give preferential treatment to people for irrelevant things like sex or race can be far worse.

I'm surprised they haven't put forward policies like the UK labour party in regards to selection. It fits their affirmative action stances perfectly (although outright banning males seems to be too blatent for most affirmative action groups).

In regards to infrastructure, yes fibre needs to be deployed, but overbuilding infrastructure just wastes money in the end. Get the low hanging fruit first and then follow it up with growth as the cost/benefit is useful.

Just because we can hook up uluru with fibre, doesn't mean the money to do so couldn't be spent in better ways. The way it is being handled is as a giant prestige project.

Why does analog suck for archiving? sure you can't just get a hash of the data and tell at a moments notice whether it is exactly as it was, however you also can't store a hard disk in a vault for 70 years and have a high expectation of it working.

It's not waste, it's fuel that isn't allowed to be burnt because of stupid regulations.

As soon as reprocessing is allowed none of this becomes an issue any more, if it's radioactive enough to be a problem it's radioactive enough to be used as fuel.

He probably meant image noise

When viewed at less than 100% multiple pixels are averaged resulting in lower image noise being shown for the pixels that are displayed.

At 100% the image is also softer because of the bayer filter nature of colour imaging sensors used in dslrs.

But at these resolutions it _really_ doesn't matter. If viewing fullscreen the screen will be higher resolution than most people can easily discern anyway,.

Bullshit, how are people supposed to transfer their 7gb movie rip on their 32gb usb sticks without resorting to some sort of insane file splitting?

This may surprise you, but linux has had better hardware compatibility out of the box than windows for quite some time.

I don't expect linux to support windows games, just like I don't expect modern windows to support dos games. It's legacy.

While they do technically run linux, the overwhelming majority are still running 2.4 and running on hardware so pathetic it is ridiculous. With the software being unable to be updated (even most dd-wrt hardware pieces are pretty weak)

Generic random modem in bridge mode going to a proper linux machine router.

Attach home network to second ethernet interface.

If you want wireless, use the linux machine as a wireless AP using a pci/e card of some description.

Consumer modems are shitty, the more you make them do the quicker they fail, as a pure modem they tend to last a fair bit longer and have less load applied.

Bonus is if/when the modem does die, the rest of the infrastructure still lives.

Even if not used for programs, that ram can be handy. Linux uses it as filesystem cache which is a hell of a lot quicker than ssd.

Sorry for probably coming off as belittling, it was not intended in that manner. It just came across as you were saying fedoras standards were lax, which as a testament to the work you and others are doing I would say they are most definitely not.

Overall I've been very pleased with koji/mock/etc and the level of quality control present.

Have you packaged something for fedora before? It's packaging policies are quite stringent.

Here's a portion of it
