As if I don't already get enough spam on Facebook... no thanks!

(Actually, my facebook feed consists mostly of updates from The Onion, it's honestly a joy sometimes to visit the News Feed.)

Psst... you actually put ADA in the subject of your post.

That's odd. For me, I can click on Valdrax or (32670) to get to /~Valdrax

On Beta, clicking your username would just expand/fold your comment.

Holy shit it's back. I must be right on the threshold. The nexus of the universe. I can see my house from here!

Try using it for a while. You can't link directly to comments, you can't click a username to visit somebody's profile, it seems to delete whole posts (for me at least) whenever that person tries to thoroughly exercise Unicode, instead of just deleting the Unicode characters like Classic. It has really got nothing at all positive over Slashdot Classic in my opinion. It should be clear what the users want, since every single article is crapflooded with comments about "FUCK BETA" and they are actually getting modded up.

Hold on a second, you still have the disable ads checkbox?

My karma is still 'Excellent' but I don't have the checkbox anymore. What am I doing wrong?

Is that true?

I have two rooted tablets, one running CyanogenMod and the other running KATKiss (both on 4.4/KitKat), and there are sometimes problems running Netflix, but by and large I'd say it works. The problems I've had most often were that videos would start playing, then the audio would continue but the video would freeze frame.

I have a TV/BluRay player that does Netflix, so I don't really care. But last time I tried to watch a show on the tablet, it worked. (And I'm definitely still rooted.)

Then if you lived in Norway, at least, from what I've read you'd be a tax cheat. A lot of countries in Europe are declaring BTC as asset which means that buyers and sellers are required to participate in VAT collection on every transaction.

I was joking, but I can tell you, since E16 stopped being a thing that people cared about, E17 was either not viable or not ever included in any Debian Stable release. Maybe things have changed in Wheezy. I don't think so.

Now that you called me out, I call bunk on the GP's whole story though, I just checked and Debian Stable still today does not package Enlightenment 0.17x, it's only available in Jessie (testing) and Sid (unstable). MouseTheLuckyDog either tried compiling from source and missed some (important but not mandatory) dependencies, or used third-party packages that were not good enough, given his poor experience. The software is actually very good. (says the Gnome Shell user)

They always seemed to get it packaged right in Unstable, sometimes even in Testing, but for some reason that never seemed to successfully "trickle down" to a stable release. I don't know why. You can (honestly) have Enlightenment 17 even with Debian Lenny, it just requires some careful attention to the packages you provide it when compiling (or use elive, which is actually built out of Lenny/Wheezy.) Maybe they will do better in the final release of Jessie.

That says something about the concept of allowing any person to "call it" deciding when the quality of all software is good enough for a stable release once every two years, more than it says anything bad about Enlightenment developers or Debian policy. Thanatermesis (the steward of Elive) seems to get it right, but his work does not filter back into Debian Stable because they have more serious things to concern with than the proper configuration and packaging of Enlightenment, apparently.

You really are at fault here, how can you expect the Leading Edge windowmanager to have a viable release at all, for the Two Years Ago is New Enough debian stable?

When I learned to use Enlightenment, the first step was ./autogen.sh

Go back to KDE :)

Why? They already have the largest actual wallet of real bitcoins in their possession. What reason would they have to undermine that?

So, what you're saying is the only way to use Bitcoin anonymously is to play with the big boys, be a part of great big drug cartels who participate in coin tumblers to obfuscate the inputs and outputs of their coins, who don't submit their identity to exchanges... don't trade your coin for cash, buy a kilo of coke on sheep place and then sell the coke for cash when you need cash.

At least I think that's what you're saying?

I think it's perfectly easy to use bitcoin (and completely illegal?) to (tax-defer) income, so long as you have the stomach to weather the changes in bitcoin prices, your clients are willing to pay you in bitcoin, and they don't report you to anti money-laundering or fincen. Assume the worst, 100% of your income is in BTC and you can't find a person who will buy your coins for cash to make you liquid (in the sense where you can go to a store and buy what you need without tripping the banks IRS-audit sensors) or a store that will sell you the things you need for bitcoins...

Snap, I think if I take this idea any further I'm going to wind up on a list, or they're going to raid me and put my clients on a list, or charge me with conspiracy or something.

You obviously clicked through a few of the posts on that blog, so how did you miss the part where they're accusing people in the administration of having resumes with totally falsified information? And the Human Resources department of "taking care of it" read: promoting those accused to even higher-up positions.

Apparently the Human Resources dept have as much admitted they are aware of the falsifications and yet, they do nothing. As others have pointed out, nothing is posted other than information that was already public.

I think I've heard this one... it ends like "the third time, make up three envelopes..."

Pretty sure I remember a joke from my Quantum professor about that, involving an easily memorable statement of the digits in Pi out to 15 digits.

Ah, yes... here it is:
How I need a drink, alcoholic of course after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics.
