I like Geany quite a lot, I use it on windows and linux.
It has plugins like notepad++; whether there are as many available I'm not sure.

"tabulating machines". they did very simple computations. punched card based.
Have you even seen the last few releases?! I've used firefox since the beginning, and the last while has been a steady decline into a chrome clone.
I'd change browsers if there was something to change to... Everyone seems to want UX designer wetdream minimalism, fuck functionality.
Instead of having firefox which wants to be chrome, or running chrome directly... I can now run a wrapper around chrome!
Liberal by Alberta standards, I guess. You guys even have one MP that isn't a conservative!
Yeah, because destroying backwaters half way around the world is a surefire way to make the US 'free'.
Just as in WW2, they had laws illegalizing looking for radio transmissions by saying that it's illegal to capture transmissions NOT MEANT for you. And other such hamfisted means. They would have made Dick Cheney proud.
Whereas the US just cut the shortwave coils out of German immigrant's radios. The american broadcasts were ridiculously scripted as well.
A lot of stuff 'flew' during the war that people wouldn't normally stand for, like say, internment of 'enemies', food & fuel rations, etc.
Polio isn't one of them. Polio is/was getting close. Smallpox is gone except at the CDC and a Russian equivalent that doubles as a bioweapons facility; gone in the wild.
#2 is rinderpest, a disease that used to plague cattle and various other 4 legged things like buffalo.
Yeah, this is the problem with the TB vaccine, it shows (properly, I suppose) that you've been exposed to TB.
In Canada we only use it in high risk areas now, mostly reserves in the far north.
There is a big difference between republican voters, and republicans in office.
Republican voters generally claim to want smaller government, reduced spending and deficits, etc. Republican governments on the other hand never do these things.
Corporations are people too, you insensitive clod!
I haven't seen the desk-type imprint machine in ages. Must be 20 years, maybe 10 - 15 years in backwater areas.
Though the last time I got my car towed, the driver had some sort of miniature impression rig. Which still makes sense, if you're out of range of network and whatnot...
Also in Cuba, they had one down there. Which sorta makes sense too.
The $1 iphone charger I took apart was such a poor design and construction. Very little isolation, so unsafe. two transistor resonant style switching setup, cheapest there is. Too small output capacitors making the output very noisy. Though it claimed 1A, it was dropping out by 300mA. Not even close. No input filtering at all. no fuse. I'm surprised the things work at all, really.
That's not to say that it isn't possible to make a good charger for less than a
I think 'Prone to' is fine here. Apparently the iPhone chargers are more prone to starting on fire than a standard charger would be expected to. It's a relative thing.
Ford Pintos were prone to starting on fire. Not even a small minority of them actually did, though.
Seems like standard procedure for the "accountable and transparent" Harper Government.
Life is a healthy respect for mother nature laced with greed.
