If you don't let your kids use earphones, you shouldn't restrict how loud they can have their music either. (Within reason)

You don't have to do a full search. Unless the flat is really large, it would be enough to have a policeman stand in front of the open door and make the phone he's looking for make noise (either via the phone location app or just by calling it).

(Why am I even answering you?)

I doubt this -- photos haven't been displaced by videos either.

NTFS-3G supports writing to NTFS. AFAIK, most Linux distributions use it instead of the kernel driver and there's a OSX port as well.

That is true only for cPython, the default interpreter. IronPython and Jython don't have the GIL. As for cPython, you can still use multiple processes with the multiprocess module. Guido claims that this is much better for using multiple cores anyway, though I think that is mostly an excuse.

I'm sure there are reasons to criticize Google's attempts to introduce new standards, but proprietary they are not. The API is publicly documented and Google provides an open source implementation of them, Chromium.

One of the main strong points of the TES games is, in my opinion, that they allow for quite a lot of immersion. Well, about as much immersion as a fairly buggy PC game can give you. I cannot imagine that they will be able to carry that over into an MMO full of 13 year old kids called "FusDoRahPorn131888".

Here, FTFY. How do you fuck an arm anyway?

In Soviet Russia, newsletters would like to subscribe to you?

Don't change them, unless you really have to. In fact I would be thrilled if all the tools would break when used with a new TLD, browsers would not recognize them as URLs and thus redirect to Google, network admins block them because they could be porn domains like .XXX... Nobody would actually use them if they don't work right for a sizeable chunk of the potential userbase.

Not that anyone will upset their users (and bosses) for this.

Not for Germany. Swastikas can be depicted in movies as they, unlike video games, are considered works of art.

When they find an unused method, why can't they remove it immediately?

I was fully expecting a push for copyright extension. Just so this book wouldn't be freely available. Anything else would have been "collateral damage".

Nobody reads Slashdot anymore either.
