My Siri is a dude, you insensitive clod!

Those are not 45 degree angles.

Except we're not talking about a race of aliens, but about humans.

I've had lots of fun playing Civilization 4 over LANs, so please allow me to disagree, for the most part, with your statement. That said, the AI in Civ 5 is rather flawed.

BitTorrent Sync stores deleted files in a hidden subdirectory by default.

Heh, incandescents used to pop and CFL's used to dim on me all the time. Three years since I've gone LED-only (from reputable brands) and not a single lamp has died yet. Out of about 50. That suggests to me that there might be something to this.

This is what I started reading the comment section for. Now I can go back to what I was doing. Thank you.

One person with bad voting sense is a fraction of a percentage point—hardly of interest. One person with bad shooting sense is a classroom full of dead teenagers—kind of a big deal. Does that make more sense to you now?

Over-fertilization pollutes the groundwater. This has already been problematic and a reason for agricultural reform in the Netherlands.

That notebook is not an Ultrabook, however. It's too thick.

This is about porting the game, not creating it from scratch.

Hey, moderators are people too, you know! Foolish people, perhaps, but people nonetheless. (You insensitive clod!)

As someone also suffering from one of the diseased potentially cured by this, I may not be ready to wait up to twenty years for long-term results, since I may very well be blind by then, thank you very much. With that said, four months is a very short time.

Allright... Where should I start? It's not whether an OS is dead that matters but whether people find it useful. I have not really used a mobile phone since 2000. Or when I did use a phone it was never on, and people had to email me to tell me they would call me. So you could say I was not really into mobile phones. I started using one again a few months ago, for business. Guess which phone it is? A Nokia N95-8G that had been used for two years prior to me getting it. And you know what, EVERYTHING FUCKING WORKS ON IT. IT JUST WORKS. My only other small device (that I use actively) is a Nokia N810 with Maemo OS which is 'based' on Debian and has SERIOUS issues but I'm okay with it, I'm okay with it because I consider my N810 to be the best book reader out there, it has a shell, ssh, python, various compilers, source-code, documents and so on. Is it buggy? Hell yes. Am I happy with it? Yes. And that is all you need to remember about 'dead OSes' if people like it, it ain't dead.

Take care,

(a random coder who's owned almost every non-phone palm OS devices back from 1997. When I saw the N810, I knew I was home)
