I meant that more related to the government knowing how many searches one did, which is a joke compared to other countries. I was once unemployed for three weeks in Ireland, went to the office, filled in a form and got a check end of each week. No questions asked to a maximum of six months, I think. This is a model I would support, no stress and within six months people should be able to find another job.

in Germany jobless people have to report any application for a job to the agency and they have to apply for a certain amount of jobs per month or they get no welfare. Still people say it is not enough and unemployed people should be a workforce of the government to clean parks etc. -.-

if a guy behind some television wants to jerk off on how I poke my nose, correct my balls or scratch my back. It becomes worse when those cameras are pointed at apartment windows, but then again let him see how I take my shower etc.

If a camera is located near your home it will have been programmed with what we call "Privacy Screens" which means when a camera is pointing at windows or garden areas the picture is shadowed by a large grey block. lol https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/6368/CCTV-in-Hillingdon etc. etc.

This is definitely the best question so far. Something like 'Smoking kills!' or 'Windows 8 only!' :) No seriously, because it is hard to get computer without pre-installed OS any more and with secure boot it is now possible to lock down 'normal' Intel machines as well.

I usually check if there is an installation script in PlayOnLinux, wine and crossover database for the game etc. before I buy it. Never had big issues, except since I use the AMD open driver, there was a short problem with Demon Stone not rendering the character which is fixed by now anyway.

How about textbooks? I voted non-fictional... :)

I notice with Windows that options go more and more clicks away which makes me use PowerShell and commandline options for basic tasks like killing a task and restarting the print spooler when splwow64.exe craps again (I wrote a script for that, since it freezes Office and other 32bit apps 4-5 times a day). Even most Windows fanboys tell me its easier to use the commandline.
In the past people were told, if there is no GUI its not user friendly. Suddenly commandline is state of the art :) So it stays, Windows is neither user friendly nor technically advanced but has a brilliant PR department

Before someone makes me use crappy MikTeX or something like that, I rather stay on Linux and use the original free software. Where XeTeX is actual developed by Apple and state of the art.

I uninstalled Flash, this is one of the best ad blockers. The pages are loaded in half the time, no stuff jumps into your face and I surf away as soon as I get nasty popups anyway...

I want my Soma :)

using /usr/local/bin/zsh :)

Why is this marked 'Funny'?
Most of the tasks, especially involving data manipulation on storage devices, are easier and more reliable done on a commandline...

I do pure mathematics at the university at the moment and for fun, I try to recreate the functions etc. in Java. For one thing, you can do most of the calculations using loops or existing API without bothering to optimize anything or proof something to infinity. Then there are also existing languages like R to help you out if you want to check a result.
My tutor always says, programming cannot proof anything, maths can :)
This is where many bugs come from, especially if it comes to larger values...

It will sit there forever: "Are you sure you want to update? Yes/No"

Kindle readers buy four times the number of books they did before owning one, according to other data.
This is the actual thing that is good about the device... I even count the up/reading time of my kindle with uptimeproject :)
