For a second, I thought your postman was delivering mail using Apple Maps driving directions. That could explain a lot.

If a meter is not equal to a metre, where are we going ? A liter not being equal to a litre ? A ton not being equal to a tonne ? A gallon not being equal to a gallon ?

Actually this is a follow-up :

2013-05-05 : "individual observations [...] have exceeded 400 parts per million" "The daily average observation has crept above 399 ppm" "the daily observation will break the 400 ppm milestone within a few days"
2013-05-09 : "the daily mean concentration of carbon dioxide [...] surpassed 400 parts per million"

Of course, Soulskill should have referenced timothy, they were obviously aiming for the dupe, but new data arrived in the meantime.

Oops, you're right. Wikipedia has a nice list.
The given definition for aerospace manufacturer has "and/or spacecraft", while I thought the "and" was mandatory (to differentiate from "aeronautics").

If we go by the "and", this other list leads to a shorter list of EADS, Thales and Safran (if I didn't miss one).

Or EADS for short. I mean, "a" ??? Is there any other ?

Sure, there are plenty of applications that only run on Windows. If you feel bound by applications, that is. There are much less tasks you can do on Windows but can't do on other platforms. Conversely, on the fast-growing mobile computing front, from their popularities and rich application catalogs, it seems that iOS/Android devices have plenty of capabilities that no Windows device can offer in a compelling way.

It's 2013, why are you still using Windows ?

Let me respectfully disagree about that point. I'm using a 13" MacBook in public transports and the issue is not the laptop size as it isn't larger than my lap. The issue is that when typing on the keyboard, the elbows won't stay aligned with the body (technically possible, but uncomfortable), and a smaller laptop won't solve that.

Amusingly, it is for the same reason.

In japanese, 4 is pronounced "shi" in the On reading, which is an homonym of "death".
In latin numerals 17 = XVII, which is an anagram of VIXI, which is latin for "I lived", implying "I'm dead".

Obviously:

DirectX10
DirectX11
DirectX11R2
...
DirectX11R6
DirectX11R6.1
DirectX11R6.2
...

Text message ? What a fad.
The last time I've flown (from France to Hong Kong and back, last year), my passport was my boarding pass!

(I understand that you don't need a passport for domestic flight.)

Does it actually change anything ?

The widely recognized ("official") logo was already the open one, while nobody uses the "restricted" logo.

The new trademark policy states: You cannot use Debian trademarks in any way that suggests an affiliation with or endorsement by the Debian project or community, if the same is not true.
But the official logo doesn't imply endorsement, that's what the restricted logo does. Or isn't the logo part of Debian's trademark ?

Or is it newspeak for an actual restriction of rights ?

Sorry, but Maurice M. Taylor Jr. is the CEO of Titan Tire Corporation, not Titan Corp..

That's not how patents work.
No, what really happens is that the we will sue improperly licensed people getting breast cancer.
See, if you intend to get breast cancer some day, you better get a proper licence right now.
