It's the 9 to 5 cube jockeys and wage slaves who are bored to hell with sitting in traffic for cumulative days of their lives.
So the law should instead be encouraging people who live more than X distance from work to be using mass transit? Sounds good to me!
A hundred times this.
Far from a PWM issue, most likely the cheap displays that illustrate this issue have insufficient power smoothing, and the culprit is likely the 100 or 120 Hz fluctuation from rectified AC, or (yes, some are really this bad), 50 or 60 Hz from clipped AC.
The duty cycle of a CRT phosphor group is in the order of 1/1,000,000 for an SDTV resolution - the point intensity of the energised area is unimaginably bright; look for high-speed footage of a TV to get some idea of it; or if you have a digital camera of some worth, take a pic at 1/2500 and see how many lines are still saturating the CCD.
Having long been a fan of minimalist window managers like Fluxbox, a friend recently recommended xmonad, which I promptly installed; and since doing so I have been amazed at how much time I can spend not managing windows.
There's apparently also osxmonad for the 'traitors,' but I haven't tried that out yet.
... you'll be recompiling everything it depends on right down to the widget set plus everything that depends on any of that plus anything that depends on those things, and so on, recursively.
I always saw it as a feature than when a library maintainer fixed a bug, it'd get fixed in all the software that was using said library; or a any libraries that was wrapping that library, or any software that was using that wrapper...
The obvious solution to my own argument would be to instead duplicate the data into any space left in the inode
Very interesting... continue.
There are plenty of disk-sensitive applications that deliberately do block-aligned accesses into a file; and I imagine a lot of those would be very put out by such a change.
Sometimes justice is expensive; and sometimes it makes mistakes - but if you can get a definitive answer from a reliable, available test; do it.
Perhaps then bill each of them for half the cost, for not cooperating.
Okay, firstly; your math is out - a far smaller number of people would have to walk into gas chambers on a daily basis to reduce our population to your arbitrary target well within 20 years. Currently significant population factors (birth rate and death rate) are compounded as a ratio (i.e. about 20 per 1,000) onto the existing population; any fixed-amount reduction that outweighs the initial difference in geometric components for population increase and decrease will become the dominant factor very quickly.
365 million out of (I'm assuming your starting number was 20 * 365.25m + 200m = ) 7.5 billion isn't much of a decrease in the first year (a little under 5%) but I'm sure you can see from here the compounding nature of the figure; once you're down to 500 million, another year would take over half your population.
Perhaps more egregiously, are you saying that a significant amount of our environmental impact as a species is our own poop?
How that place manages to stay in business in this crappy economy, selling massively overpriced poor-quality drinks, I have no idea.
I've suspected for a while now that people become accustomed to Starbucks and forget what coffee is supposed to taste like.
I,m sorry, I'm not anti-ms anti-apple pro-google pro-Linux etc.
We're anti-Google now - did you not get the memo?
Kleeneness is next to Godelness.
