TeX takes the pain out of LaTeX when you want to exercise good taste.
Really? How do you go about learning Tex? I didn't know anyone did that.......

Computers are a tool. That's what they were designed to be, that's what they are. You can use them, or not. Computer science isn't about using a tool. It's about creating a tool that's useful, and enhancing existing tools.
Well said.
If you don't have to ask who they are, then they won't need an H1-B to get here. Seriously.
Specifically, they'll be able to get an O1 or EB-1 visa.
Why would a random hacker group care to help Sony and Microsoft improve their security?
Maybe they're gamers.
4 years after you bought it, it was up to 500 mile range and getting 50 mpg.
Well, you're not going to get that big an improvement, but you can often chip for efficiency and gain a few MPG at the expense of a few HP. Often it's actually a very good trade. Until recently when the mileage targets surged few automakers have truly pursued maximum mileage. Typically, they're too afraid of customer response to truly go all in.
If you must feed the trolls, please at least have the sense to disable your karma bonus.
What? What is it good for, then? It's a shiny lure.
frankly, I've never wanted to look at it anyway.
Hmmmm, I'm just guessing here, but you seem like a person who doesn't want to look at HTML.
Once you understand that "lefties" encompasses all evil dictators and genociders of the 20th and 21th Century AND drug cartels and mafia AND practically all terrorist groups AND most billionaries and CEOs of evil corporations on Earth AND most owners of the big and corrupted media (including MPAA, RIAA, Hollywood and Disney) that control the narrative, you stop listening to their lies, as they serve ONLY to their interests
Wait, really? Are you trolling, or just completely batshit bingo ball crazy?
are they using -march or -mtune?
I do understand that many won't run out of the box with less than a 586-class processor now, but I don't think P4 is common yet
There are millions like me who are waiting for the successor of N900.
Well, you should stop waiting, and get a case with a keyboard in it. Then, you can have the best of both worlds, because you don't have to carry the keyboard around when you're not using it. I understand that the TF series can be a bit big for one's pockets, but there are other options.
When you're making a consumer decision, do you ask yourself, "what do the vast majority of people do?"
Of course I do, and furthermore, the more important the decision is, the more likely I am to follow the herd. If I'm buying a car, for example, I want to know that I'll be able to get parts for it. If it's used and cheap then I can afford some expensive parts, no big deal. If I'm buying a new car, I want something good yes, but also something everyone else is buying so that I know that parts availability will be high, and parts cost will be low.
Of course, the mast majority of people who buy mobile devices buy Android devices, not iOS ones, so the herd is still no argument for Apple.
Kind of makes you think he was behind the attacks to begin with, huh? Otherwise, why negotiate with terrorists?
I think that at this point in the technology, materials science in not yet at a place where a metal object built as a composite of liquid or powdered material could take the same stresses that a drop-forged or milled object can.
You can mill an object out of wood, or you can 3d print an object in Inconel. Many cheap tools (notably ratchets!) are just cast, and they work just fine unless a fastener is rusted on, or was grossly overtorqued to begin with.
To be clear, Kodak won't actually make its own devices
Good thing! Kodak has been shit at this since they started using electronics. The interfaces to their digital cameras were literally the worst in the business.
The Linux kernel is depricated[sic] - systemd will take over its functionality.
+1 hilarious.
