I'm surprised no one mentioned Alexandria yet: http://alexandria.rubyforge.org/

There are some nutty "animal lovers" out there, but I think most of those that are against easting meat do it in protest against the cruelty of how animals are raised for human consumption. As a meat-eater myself, I often think about this and I'm getting closer to be an almost full-time vegetarian. I don't have any problems eating the livestock that my parents raise, because I know they live a good life, full of great outdoors, and are treated with respect. But I've seen my share of farms and in some of them the conditions in which animals live are horrendous. This is the cruelty you speak of.

That means Emacs 25 will be filled with "Sonic boom"!

$ lynx --nocolor

But you should give elinks a try instead of lynx. elinks supports frames, tabs and mouse input.

You should have used Elinks instead of Lynx. Elinks supports frames, tabs and mouse input.

Yes! I came here to recommend the same trilogy. Great writing and very realistic view of a technologically advanced future.

What threat does Wayland poses? It's MIT licensed. And X.org isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Actually, it was Shang Tsung. Big Fail.

I prefer GNOME over Unity, I prefer GDM over LightDM, I prefer Firefox over Chromium and Wayland is nowhere near ready for mainstream. And I still prefer Gentoo over Ubuntu.

That's funny, I'm looking at a few dozens right now. We probably don't work at the same place...

The most disturbing consequence of this is that the urinals will be cleaner because people will try to piss inside the urinal now. I'm not joking. In a mall in my town someone remembered to make urinals with images of spiders and other bugs inside the urinals and the effect was notorious because people would then concentrate on pissing on the images inside the bowl!

It wasn't dead before?

Virtual every debit and credit card in Portugal can have access to MBNet, a nationwide initiative in which you can have your one time credit card numbers.

We actually have a pretty accessible banking system here in Portugal. We have a state regulated entity called SIBS that pretty much guarantees that every banking system should be able to talk to the others. In practive, this means that every bank has at least one ATM that is compatible with every debit and credit card in the country, and can be used for free, with no taxes for money withdrawal and other operations. It's pretty sweet.

- Anything to declare?
- Yeah, don't go to England.
