You are aware how reinsurance works, right?
You are aware that the reinsurers really believe that global warming is coming down the pipe and have already started to adjust their rates accordingly?
That's like saying the US Tax code is good bed-time reading.
Nobody who reads the US Tax Code in bed has problems sleeping...
Yes, you could do that, but then you'd have to distribute the updated cacerts to all desktops that need to run your app, and keep it updated whenever a new JVM comes out.
That's relatively practical for an intranet, especially one where all the clients are under at least some central control.
You're one of my 3 favorite lawyers, the other two being the lady who handled my divorce and the man who handled my bankruptcy.
Great that you found good people to handle those important things.
I can write that I convolved two functions, but you don't need to see the code that I used to do the convolution.
So you used a standard library for doing the convolution, cited that library correctly, and showed how you called the library? That would be very good academic programming and paper-writing too. Of course, the flip side also holds: if you don't show your methods properly, or don't cite others work that you use or reference, you're a bad academic. If you do it all yourself when much of it isn't your research focus, you're just wasting your time (and encouraging others to ignore you).
"But it is confusing for new users, so the ability to middle-click paste was briefly removed from GNOME 3.10."
This is inaccurate in two ways.
One, the change was not made because middle-click paste is 'confusing the new users', though that was cited as an *ancillary factor* in subsequent decision. The change was made due to a plan to use middle click for other functions, and backed out because those other functions weren't ready yet.
Two, the change was not, technically, the 'removal' of the ability to middle-click paste. It was only disabled by default. It could be re-enabled with an xsetting, and gnome-tweak-tool has in fact grown an option to turn it on and off now, if you look at a recent version: this was done specifically to make it easy for people who want to use middle-click paste to turn it back on, at the time when it looked like 3.10 would ship with it turned off.
Maybe to you 4channers it is, troll, but NYCL is well known and greatly respected here at slashdot. So go back to reddit and leave us grownups alone.
Thanks, bro
We suffer from the fact that IPv4 and IPv6 do not have store and forward. Instead of / in addition to endpoint IDs, all the routers need to have a large cache for versioned content.
No. You have no idea what you are asking for. There's far more to internet traffic than sending documents around. Let any caches be handled as a separate service, not as part of the basic message routing.
If Firefox/IE aren't rendering a page and WebKit is, it's almost always because the page author has written WebKit-specific code (e.g. used -webkit CSS prefixes on properties that are supported without a prefix in other browsers).
The problem isn't using browser-specific extensions. The problem is that the page doesn't work without them. What's really wanted is a way to tell a browser to disable all vendor-specific extensions and to have everything be according to standard (or disabled) so that authors can check their stuff ahead of time.
Checking stuff ahead of time? Hah! I can dream...
Right now you would be hard pressed to go to ordinary hardware or grocery stores and find anything actually made in America.
That's not true, and you know it. Nobody else makes Cheese in the same way that America does.
IT is not a revenue generator.
Nor is legal or accounting or HR or custodial services or strategic planning. Yet if you don't put some outlay into all these things, there's a real chance of the company not making any profit at all before long. IT (including telecommunications) is an essential service; if nobody can communicate with anyone else except by going and talking to them in person, not much gets done at all and many other functions become hugely more expensive. Another thing that IT does is preserve essential business information; that used to be done by a whole separate department (Records) which was remarkably expensive, and IT saved a lot there. (Alas, what then happened is that everyone decided to demand that many more records actually be kept as the cost-per-record was so much lower.)
But if the business wants to outsource IT, that's what they'll do. It'll end in tears, but there's little you can do to prevent hell-bent stupidity when the person in charge of doing it has decided that outsourcing is the only way he'll make his bonus this year. (After that? He'll be a successful "expert" in "successful" outsourcing working to repeat the experience elsewhere.)
We're told it's all supposed to go through change control
It does! But they're on different branches and never merge or rebase...
The only accent-free English is BBC English.
Even that's not true. They have a very particular accent that is only used for presenting the news (their other output has much more variation) which is a clarified variation on University English, but it's there if you listen for it. I suppose you could consider it to be at the centre of a cluster of accents that come under the heading of British English.
Similarly, there's another cluster of accents that constitute American English. The spread on the cluster is tighter than on the BE cluster, as far as I can tell. Arguably, you could describe an accent as being an offset from the barycenter of the cluster. You might not think you've got an accent, but from the perspective of someone in another cluster, you most certainly have. (Confusingly, the clusters may overlap somewhat. Yay for complexity!)
Hey buddy, you watch your mouth when you're talking about NYCL!
All riggghhhhtttt. Thanks Amicus
