You know what would drive demand up ? Cheap wine.

Apple is notorios about being anti-gaming, yet many games support it while not supporting linux. Don't know the actual stats though.

Gimp Tool Kit, where gimp means Gnu Image Manipulation Program, where gnu means Gnu's Not Unix. So, in short, gnu's not unix image manipulation program tool kit.

I played 3d peron games (not online). Always picked girl for that reason. Never mattered because i'd end up focusing on the game.

Yea. They have worse efficiency. To get better efficiency from them you would need to run them hotter (afaik), and if you do that they would last even shorter.

It's great if you want a smaller but still strong engine, but it's not efficient and those seals are a big problem.

The mistake is thinking that a 1000 byte file takes up a 1000 bytes on any storage medium. The mistake is thinking that it even matters if a kB means 1000 or 1024 bytes. It only matters for some programmers, and to those 1024 is the number that matters.

Disregarding reality in favor of pedantics is the real mistake.

We didn't go to germany, germany came to us.

Just like usa did many times.

And i don't think it was so obvious at the time. Russia was massing weapons, middle east had problems, and tensions were everywhere.

Yea, it's called Water Displacement formula 40. A penetrating oil mixed with stuff. Not nearly as goid as grease

I was gonna go with the other guys sensible answer, but i like yours more.

You can get a hunting licence and buy a gun/rifle/shotgun. It takes a test, and i think you cant have violent crimes. You also need a gun "safe" (basically a shitty locker like in US highschool movies), and the cops can come whenever they want to inspect it (usually regular, i forget if once per yearor 6 months or something).

That said theres still guns from the war. One grampa died and the cops found a bunch of rifles and granades in the attic, and a minefield infront of his house. Everybody knew about it, but knew he was a harmless nut.

China has many more competent engineers then... any other country. They often steal ideas (everybody does), and even whole designs (less of everybody does). But i doubt they stole anything for ev-s. Making the "car" part is harder then the "electric part", especially for china.

It's probably not just because ev. Golf has become a high end brand even before that. Not really a peoples car if parts cost a lot.

Posible to recover data, use /dev/urandom.

A guy in india is also removing carbon... by planting trees for decades now.

Paint, they always need paint. A lot of science went into that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_hgPinCZks

There's a playground next to where i live. I sometimes hear kids (like 5yo) say some of the funniest things, so different that i forget them.

Cost-benefit is not there. You can buy fancy ones that do some such things, but they are expensive.

Because you can try compile it on arm, and if something doesn't work you can report it or fix it yourself. That said windows worked fine on arm years ago. Many gps, medical, and such devices used to use windows ce on arm, mips. (Windows phone too, arm)

And ir only. They are (usually) just thermal sensors.

Yes. I ran on asfalt and my shins started to hurt a lot. Friend's an athlete and told me why it is. Started running on gravel and was fine.

I guess it also depends on how hard your dirt is.

It's for note taking and organizing.

By that logic, it's the same for usa.

Fair enough. But in the context of usa it never had a defensive war, always the agressor. And the propaganda was "they have bio weapons of mass destruction and will use them", and later "they terrorists". None of which was true. Iran was far from innocent either.

Contrary to popular opinion, i'm gonna guess graphics driver. Specifically the shader compiler.

Imma go ask Steve if he wants to be my friend.

It's worse then that for the very rich. Their "charities" are made up of their friends and family, and the money eventually circles back to them. It's literally tax evasion.

Imagine a giant taking care of you since you were born. Playing with you when you were a kid. Giving you a nice bed and plenty of food, caring for you. And watching over you when you grow old.

The beam is reeeealy wide by the time it gets there. Still a great achivement, though.

No, not really.

Yea, gold is much easier to do detailed things with then almost every other metal. And it doesn't react with sulphor like copper and silver do.

I live in a city that has one of the cleanest water in the world. And I remember people leaving water out for a while before watering plants. I also remember ppl just watering immediately, and the plants seemed fine.

Didn't find anything conclusive as to why it matters in the 5 min of googling, other then clorine that seems to not be used much anymore. Hmm, a mistery.

You can, since a couple versions ago.

FF7 and supreme commander were complex. And devs then didn't have the tools we have today, not to mention game engines (there were, but not like today). And ps3 was a pain to program for. And, and...

Having a company behind software means you can pay to have your bugs fixed. Big distros want that stability for their corporate customers. It's no secret or anything. KDE has sponsors, but doesn't have a direct relationship with a huge contractor like RH. Same reasoning for systemd.

Politics, basically.

No, it's just not viable. Just maintaining the vacuum is hard and takes a lot of energy. Keeping it from imploding onto the high speed train is also very hard.

It does not need experimenting, it is known already.

It is and always was a scam (or just simple stupidity, or both).

On linux middle mouse is traditionally paste, with just selecting text being copy.
