I absolutely agree. It's just that this change == bad.

That was probably one of the manual-labor spam factories that seem to be sprouting like weeds recently -- they pay people to register on a forum, read the forum, and post comments (with spam links, of course) that make just enough sense to attract real readers' attention.

On the one hand, I guess it means that spam-detecting tech has advanced far enough that it's no longer very profitable to send out machine-generated spam. On the other hand, this makes it harder for us humans to tell the difference. (But then again, xkcd has a point too.)

Just for starters:

http://hg.icculus.org/icculus/aquaria (official repository, with post-Humble Bundle patches from several people)
http://bitbucket.org/_Agent/aquaria
http://achurch.org/cgi-bin/hg/aquaria

(Not to say the others aren't undergoing development as well; Aquaria is just the only one of those four that really captured my interest.)

As long as we're talking test runs, the Chuo Shinkansen hit 581km/h in 2003.

Interesting you should mention this; I've had the same problems you describe trying to get CMake to cross-compile, but with autotools, "--target=other-cpu" has generally worked fine in my experience (making it just about the only redeeming feature in that spaghetti mess of shell and m4 code). Admittedly I haven't tried building an entire Linux distribution, so maybe I just happened to choose packages that don't rely on running test programs, but IIRC autotools will explicitly disable the standard runtime tests when cross-compiling.

is that it's got ugly syntax, effectively no cross-compiling support, and less-than-helpful documentation. And its generated Makefiles sometimes miss changes in header files, forcing you to "make clean".

But yeah, it's still a good alternative to autotools.

That's 62 miles, or 100km. I can't recall hearing about a 100km jam in the 11 years I've been here, though I'll grant you a few 50-60km jams pop up on the news most holiday seasons.

From TFOpinion (page 33):

So if you're in one of those states, it looks like the answer is yes, it's illegal to plant a GPS tracker if you're not law enforcement (and sometimes even if you are law enforcement).

(And why does Slashdot still not support Unicode?)

It's the beer glasses set on top of it that make the ring.
