Funny how in Canada cigarettes are no longer displayed on store shelves and there has been an anti smoking campain and fewer people are smoking now.
And I feel very unsafe working with stupid stoners that toked up at lunch and are now opperating heavy equiptment and dangererous tools and potentially endangering my life.
How is that any different to working with stupid alcoholics who downed a few pints at lunch and are now operating heavy equipment?
Oh wait, people who do that at work get fired. Why does your company accept illegal drug use, when they surely would not accept the legal equivalent?

Yet, we have seen, over and over, that prohibition causes this concentration of the drug availability into the highest potency/highest profit, and we have seen that, when people are left to their own free choices, they regularly make better choices.
Through all this, you still want to solve it with regulation? Regulation is not only not the answer its unjustified meddling in peoples personal lives and rights over their own body and mind. It is a basic denial of the freedom to pursue happiness.
I think we should ban any attempt of the government to regulate personal choices. Full ban on prohibition....and commencement of truth and reconciliation commissions to deal with the damage prohibition has done to society.
I believe GP is talking about the kind of regulation that currently applies to foods, as in companies get in trouble if they sell food that poisons you.
Not the kind of "regulation" that currently prevents certain drugs being produced or sold at all.
Quality control, not prohibition.
In the beginning, there was nothing. Then it exploded.
In an autoclave.
That their "athiest branding" sometimes gums some automated processing step and hence kicks the package out to a manual sort could also explain it. If their athiest packaging tape sometimes covers part of the address label or something.
It sounds like the unmarked packages still had the same amount of tape in the same places, but plain tape instead of branded tape. That would counter these two possible sources of error.
Excuse me, but a similarly equiped Windows PC would cost $600. Of course, that would be a Linux PC after the 10 minutes it takes me to install Ubuntu from the USB stick.
And think of all the wonderful games you'll be able to play, like TuxRacer!
I don't think you can get TuxRacer from Steam...
Yeah Blood took what was good about DN3D and multiplied it times ten. For a long time that was my favorite FPS, probably until Half-Life came out and I got my first Voodoo 3DFX graphics card.
My sentiments exactly; Blood was my favourite until Half-Life.
I used to love the voxel sprites in the Build engine. Ken Silverman was my hero.
I study Japanese so I'll run through a few vocabulary cards (using Mnemosyne, but Anki is reportedly good too) whenever I need a quick mental break. Works nicely as a way to shift focus, even for a minute or less.
Seconded.
I am also learning Japanese, and I take short breaks to do some kana flashcards when I'm getting too caught up in work. I use Kanatest on Linux, and Obenkyo on Android.
That's all very true in the world of single tasking. Remember the days of DOS? When a file transfer said it would take 10 minutes, it took 10 minutes, dammit!
But once you enter the world of multitasking, your program has no idea what slice of the CPU pie it's going to get in the future. And surprise, in every modern OS, those file transfer time estimates tend to be significantly off.
... even when there is no other activity on the computer / network in question.

I guess you need to use brackets, in bash at least...
You're right, but bash doesn't even enter the picture:
$ ls -l `which [`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35264 Nov 20 06:25
The program is called [ and it complains if its last argument is not a ], so you need the square brackets no matter which shell you use.
which I shall now start searching for.
Currently returns 1 hit - the parent comment. Let's keep it up!
Spock finds your suggestion that scissors are too predictable, but that he and the lizard are not, highly illogical.
Besides, I thought that everybody wanted a Rock to wind a multi-threaded string around.
Hah! Finally, a non-obvious joke in response to this article! Thank you, Sir or Madam!

It is not about the windows, but rather, person's optic nerve and field of view - it basically gave extreme tunnel vision, except real. You could only see very little, all else was a blind spot.
Well yes, but you could only (fail to) see that blind spot through the windows. It did not stop you from seeing the walls.
For the most part, it's rare for a Windows program to actually take the whole system down unless there is actually an issue with the computer at the hardware level (bad ram, etc). Closest thing I've seen to a serious crash was a program crashing the video card drivers, but Vista and higher automatically restarts the graphics drivers when this happens without the need for rebooting.
For the most part, it's worth reading posts that you reply to; nobody said anything about bringing the whole system down.
BTW, that handy feature where the video card drivers restart after they crash? The drivers do that, not Windows Vista and higher. It worked on XP too.
Two wrights don't make a rong, they make an airplane. Or bicycles.
