There is also a Fedora spin with Cinnamon as the default DE: https://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/cinnamon/

There are plenty of teachers on those apps.

Siri can't be renamed to stupidhead or anything else for that matter, but the always listening feature can be disabled.

These kind of quotes from a customer should be instant red flags that they are not someone you want to work for. Devilboy does have a good bit of advice about charging an outrageous amount, but it's important to pick your battles. Sometimes no amount of money in the world is worth the headache that a customer like this could cause.

And if I didn't want to take $26k debt what then? I wouldn't have the option of having my parents pitch in, they never were able to save money for college. $26k is still a lot of money for a young person, I went straight into the workforce without college, I'm 21 now and while most people my age are in debt, I have a nice little bit saved in my bank account.

>Using the music verbatim but changing only the video content to make a parody would probably not hold up as "fair use".

Weird Al rerecords the music, but the notes are the same and that is considered fair use. I know that Weird Al ask for permission from artist before releasing any songs, but it's not something he is required to do.

I honestly like having 7 choices for which CPU I want in a computer. It's the main reason I chose Lenovo over Dell for my most recent computer.

Just because Apple sells items with a few options doesn't mean every other company should.

This is also true for sports related searches. On Google when I search for the Dallas Cowboys I get the scores of their 2 most recent games and with one click I can have their full schedule without ever leaving Google. On Bing I get their last games score and a few upcoming games, but if I want more info then it takes me to foxsports.com.

The notion that we shouldn't try to contact aliens for fear they might destroy us is a silly one. I would rather be destroyed by an alien race versus being destroyed by any number of natural disaster or nuclear war.

There's also a good chance that by the time a race can travel between interstellar space, they'll be mature enough not to kill everything they see.

He could have chose graffiti, but regardless his still had a very valid point.

> Well if there isn't, as I've already mentioned, you can make your own sub-reddit.

That doesn't mean anyone's going to use it. It takes a long time to grow a community. I would love for /r/trueskyrim to take off because /r/skyrim has become 99% garbage, 1% content. Unfortunately trueskyrim hasn't had a post in 6 months.

The only reason /r/Games ever took off was because it was started by the mods of /r/gaming and got lots of attention on /r/gaming's front page. Don't get me wrong /r/Games is wonderful, but without the publicity that it got from /r/gaming I doubt anyone would use it.

Why is E the most common across multiple languages (except Lisp (which I assume is due to the parentheses))? I assume it's usage is higher because it's a vowel, but none of the other vowels are nearly that high.

It probably gets used about the same amount as the other languages, it's just that the parentheses get used an insane amount and outweigh all the other characters.

I 100% agree. If this is allowed to continue HN's front page will soon look like /r/TIL

I think what the previous commenters are trying to say is that you shouldn't be OK with producing lots of bugs. Sure, you can learn a lot when you make a mistake, but you shouldn't be making the same mistakes.

>right now opera:cpu shows me a round number of 115 tabs with 1.5 GB RAM usage

That's impressive, but I can't imagine having over 5 tabs open. It would be impossible for me to use that many at once.

My experience was extremely similar. I think one of the many reasons that Linux has gotten more popular was due to how poor Vista was as an OS. Ubuntu 7.04 was my first intro to Linux and I was only using it because a friend had given me a LiveCD after hearing me complain about Windows Vista.

I'm the same way, and once I've actually started working it's hard for me to shut it down and stop working.

>This is done everywhere, android manufacturers constantly try to lock users in their own android shell, not to mention apple.

And people still jailbreak/root their devices for numerous reasons. If you buy something, you should be able to do what you want with it. Just because it's designed for one thing doesn't mean it can't do others.

>To be fair, there were people in NASA's crafts.

The Dragon capsule is designed to hold people, so SpaceX wouldn't need a bigger ship or crane to haul them in.

You should think about adding showering to that list.

I believe it'll take 2 days before they are ready to dock with the ISS.

>If we didn't collect and teach knowledge we've gained from the past then an adult wouldn't be too much better off than a child.

And yet apes aren't able to do even that.

I would assume space is just like the Wild West. Whatever you claim is yours, so long as you can defend it.

Dear God am I on fucking reddit? I'm all for a little joking but this is ridiculous and adds nothing to the conversation.

I don't think it would make much sense to talk about Opera Mini in the same context with desktop browsers. Opera Mini is pretty amazing though. If I were forced to use the default browser on a Blackberry I wouldn't own one.
