It's actually not terrible acting. Give it a shot.

Well, for what it's worth I force my timeline to "most recent" - whoever came up with that algorithm can go to hell. The other two levels of "filtering" apply in person as well.

What the hell are you talking about?

I don't think you'd have much of a problem with that. Toy stores and porn sites are things, and people find them. Why such places don't sell books (or ebooks as the case may be) I don't quite understand... porn is porn, whether it's words, pictures, or movies.

Mind the maximum current, though. The charger for my tablet for example can push more watts down the wire (within the USB spec of course) than my phone's, meaning that if I use my phone's charger with it it takes much longer to charge the battery.

USB type A sockets don't care what USB connector is on the other end. Why does this matter?

When they gave it to me when I was little, it literally almost killed me. I'm a carrier*. If I were to receive an MMR again it would likely render me extraordinarily ill. She's probably seen the same thing, except in that case the child didn't survive.

* - this means from my understanding that the virus is prevalent in my system but is dormant/inactive. it does not shed, so I am not contagious, but a high dose of whatever it is exactly in that vaccine will "jump-start" it, leading to a massive infection everywhere all at once. Bad juju.

All of this has absolutely nothing with autism though, nor does it have anything to do with the vaccine itself.

I'd bet you the mentioned N64 cartridges were a bit more sophisticated than your Atari cartridges were.

The problem is that businesses seem to think fax machines are magically perfect and couldn't possibly be impersonated.

I don't know what to say. I didn't know it existed until it was pointed out, here.

Granted, I did not proceed to the downloads pages. Why would I do that when all other indications are that it's pay-for software? I have zero interests in trials or shareware, which is what you'd expect to see.

Search for "intelliJ IDEA" and try to find any mention of that on their page. Not quite so epic a failure in reality, was it?

Nice catch on the deal though.

I don't appreciate having to pay for the IDE for personal or educational use. IntelliJ can fuck off, back to Netbeans/Eclipse I go.

I've never seen Python do that on my systems. Those files (.pyc) don't appear until I actually cause them to be loaded for the first time. I think you're confusing what python does with what your distribution maintainers do :P

32-bit or 64-bit JVM?

If you're using the 64-bit, I don't think they have a client hotspot (optimized for quick-start) JVM, only the server (optimized for runtime throughput but with a long startup) one.

Fortunately that lovely lovely oil won't last forever.
