Absolutely. Otherwise what the hell would you reroute impulse power through the first time you started losing structural integrity?

It didn't. 3.6.12 still has the leak.

It's not particularly often that I vote in a /. poll, read a few comments, and then change my mind completely. Thanks for that.

Debian unstable is not, usually, the latest unstable GIT/SVN from upstream.

If I understand correctly, debian unstable is usually the most recently *released* version from upstream. So, if you want the latest *stable* version from upstream, you need debian / ubuntu *unstable*. I use this in practice on a debian (stable) web server, with a few select web apps such as wordpress pegged to unstable. It's the only way to ensure wordpress / drupal etc are up to date without installing by hand. (In theory, debian pack-ports security fixes to the stable version, but in practice, users typically demand the latest and greatest as soon as it's out, so we go with that.)

Well of course that doesn't work. You didn't specify the font size.

I never thought I'd use WA quite like this, but...

$32.10 per person will buy you a lot of pizza when you're ordering in bulk. That's about 2 large for every single man, woman, child, and baby in the USA.

Whether it's technically possible to defeat the system isn't the issue. If you're trying to force kids' presence with technological measures rather than encourage leaning and enthusiasm socially, you're doing something wrong. Especially since this is talking about older kids. Try giving them something fun to do, instead of demanding they bio-retina-dna scan in after recess.

I really hope you're trolling, and that's why you're posting AC. Hanging someone for creating a botnet? Really? Anyway, state sanctioned capital punishment is every bit as morally reprehensible as vigilantism in my book.

I don't know where you live, but I'm glad to live in a country with a (mostly) functional judicial system rather than vigilantism.

Are you sure that's what you want? At least streetview stops outside your house. Sometimes.

With a Google ISP, you know they'd be cataloging every non-ssl page you visit, inferring things about ssl encrypted sites you visit (as your ISP they would know the IP address of the server you connected to, remember), and using every last bit of your data to target advertising and profit from you in any way possible.

Well, where are the "mocking" cartoons? Who has a link?

I completely agree that electric bikes don't solve every problem. Far from it. Obviously there's no way a contractor can balance their compound mitre saw on the handlebars of their bike. However for many people (and I realise you may not be one of them, I am not one of them either), they do very much lower the bar to biking. I wouldn't use an electic bike, because I'm in my late 20s, in good shape, and don't have any problem burning some calories going up hill (actually, I enjoy it). For many people, though, the idea of riding up hill or expending more effort than they're used to is exactly what keeps them in the SUV when they might actually be interested in riding a bike occasionally. The electric bike gives them a way in.

How was that a false dichotomy? I know electric bikes are electric-assist, and you can pedal them too. I don't think I implied otherwise. I was pointing out (to the great grandparent city hipster troll) that just because sometimes you may have stuff to move that you can't fit on a bike (electric or otherwise), doesn't prevent you from using a bike for those trips where it's feasible. In fact, electric bikes lower the bar to biking for a great many people - like the japanese mum you were talking about. That's a good thing.

When you have heavy stuff to move, or the weather isn't suited to your mating preferences, you get in your electric car. The rest of the time, you get on your bike (electric or cheesecake-powered at your preference) because it's far, far more efficient. That's the point. Nobody is saying electric bikes can replace all other vehicles, but for a great number of trips, they're a very good option, and one that (unfortunately) gets laughed at. Before you accuse me of being a fucking city-living hipster, yes, I ride a bike, no, I don't ride it all the time (because it isn't the best choice in every situation), and no I don't live in a city.
