I'll just stick with broadcast then.

Forever retransmitting the same data over and over. And you have to have the ideal connection at the right times.

They really need to embrace file sharing if they want an advantage over broadcast.

While intelligence is a vague term in itself there is something to be said for the written word, collaboration, education, proofs, and the extrapolated reasoning that comes from combining them all.

They might get a better understanding of themselves instead of thinking they're total scum.

I have a lot of trouble pointing out that obsessiveness is often mistaken for addiction these days. I think it's due to an attempt to assign a medical condition to those being irresponsible with their families and thereby able to bring the law to bare.

Aside from the fact that one can't be addicted to an activity it also is disrespectful to those that do suffer under addiction and, of course, misleading to the rest of us.

Doh!, misread it. "Conviction" here meant the legal sentence, of course, not the personal attitude. Disregard my previous fopar.

Wow! Using the word conviction suggests Justice Secretary Chris Grayling is of the opinion that Alan Turing was just playing a belief game.

Clearly still a further apology to come yet.

I think you've finally answered it, thanks. Looks like it's the act of deferal to a percieved "higher authority".

Start having fun with fusion reactors, is what I'd say.

It's been a pretty good ride really. KDE definitely has done a good job of the desktop.

I got a little annoyed at the default, should be the other way around, loss of generic icons with some wacky Plasma only thing but soon found out it was a quick switch away from geting the good stuff back.

Err, illogical behaviour.

I hate to admit it but I ran into similar irrational behaviour. I don't think it was an admin, just someone commandeering the group of related articles.

I put it more down to intentional abuse to control the bias for financial gain, ie: The individual was being paid to subvert Wikipedia.

PPS: I would have purchased an A2 size inkjet if they made cheap ones of those.

I got myself a Brother A3 multifunction scanner/printer. Through away the factory cartridges, fitted some refillables ... top up with generic bottled ink. Loaded up the latest Linux driver for both functions and it's all sweet. I can burn through as much paper as I like now. Everything's cheap. :)

I wouldn't use it for photo printing but it's perfect for everything else. I'm forever printing diagrams, charts and datasheets. Using colour for everything is so much better than the old lasers at work.

PS: It does require a regular cleaning cycle on just the black for some reason. I read somewhere these model printers have a habit of getting air-locks. But it clears easy so no biggie.

"Everyone else" doesn't much care either way. I think you'll find it's just as few people that think it shouldn't be a moving target.

I don't see why leap seconds has ever been an issue. Date-stamping has always been a fickle mechanism that always shifts around according to whatever governments decide.

Metronomic sampling on the other hand doesn't give a shit about the calender and only cares about regular timing.

The two systems, sampling and date-stamping, should not be confused and the one should not dictate to the other. Both can and should be provided for side by side.

If the BSD licence was as useful as GPL then Linux would never have grown in the first place.
