Then you had another kind of glitch where you found two planets (or was it even on the same planet, just different traders it's been a really long time...) where you could do a trade with ridiculous margins, making loads of money in a few minutes...
"Cemeiss" as I recall, precious metals and gems were illegal and had negative prices, like rubbish and radioactive waste...
For those that don't know what I'm talking about, it's the yellow thing in the top right of the desktop, used for some sort of menu button.
Anyway, there is no obvious way to get rid of it, not even a config file that can be edited - the only option being to download a third party add-on.
Seriously, is it so hard from a programming perspective to add a "Hide" option?
It's the only thing that annoys me about KDE (apart from the system tray icon background issue, which I think is being worked on).
That, and I want a "firesomething" addon for Chrome.
I want Firesomething for the current version of Firefox...
I tried it once, there just wasn't the speed and ease-of-use that adblock plus provides:
*right click*
*block*
*edit filter*
*OK*
Done.
If they launched their own junk-vaporising laser drones, that would get them noticed.
I hope someone announces this at their meeting later this month.
There's an old question - is the red that I see the same as the red that you see? - something that is probably unknowable.
I imagine we'd still see the same range of colours, except they'd be assigned to a much greater range of frequencies - i.e. what appears to be red, is actually far infra-red with pretty much all of the traditional "visual" spectrum appearing blue/violet.
Or it might all be random..., in any case I'd expect the brain to adapt to the new inputs well enough:
Intuitively, this makes sense - being able to recover data from an overwritten part of the hard drive effectively means the capacity has been multiplied (if you can recover from 1 overwrite, while still being able to get the new data, the capacity has just doubled.)
If this was easy enough to do, Seagate, Hitachi, WD etc. would all be doing it (or are already).
That said, taking the word of someone whose job is actually recovering data - well, that might not be a good idea.
"But: do the measurement in your own world. My software, hardware and artificial measured usage pattern may differ from yours, subtly but enough that my conclusion doesn't transfer. Be scientific about it
Best advice I've seen - try and build up a representative sample of a day's work (or just a random sample if that's not easily determinable), copy it, run one copy on unencrypted disks and one on the mandated encryption.
If there's a significant difference take the evidence to your IT dept. or supervisor and hope for a favourable decision.
