Thank you, that explains it. For me, the same button links to https://ring.cx/en/download/gnu-linux but under windows you are right.

Not saying your explanation is wrong but it did not take Snowden to make such theories plausible.
Wikipedia: Sexual selection is a mode of natural selection where members of one biological sex choose mates of the other sex to mate with

I could even argue the same thing for natural selection itself. When a predator kills an animal, he decides that the DNA of that animal should not be spread further in the future.

I am not sure if this is a good or a bad thing. If you accept that cancer is simply the disease you get when you live long enough and don't die because of anything else before (a view even supported by the article), a higher percentage could also mean that all other things are in control now, and only cancer and heart attacks are left.

I think those people harmed would disagree.
Also to "scientifically prove" something might not be as easy as it sounds. You may have a couple of studies that find a harmful effect, and then you have some (possibly industry-backed) studies that find no effect at all. You now have a strong hint, but no proof. At best it is "scientifically debated". Think of tobacco industry vs "smoking causes cancer", or oil companies vs "global warming is caused by humans".
The engineers tore away the top third of the centerfold so they could wrap it around the drum of their Muirhead wirephoto scanner, which they had outfitted with analog-to-digital converters (one each for the red, green, and blue channels) and a Hewlett Packard 2100 minicomputer. The Muirhead had a fixed resolution of 100 lines per inch and the engineers wanted a 512 x 512 image, so they limited the scan to the top 5.12 inches of the picture, effectively cropping it at the subject's shoulders.

This is not at all about "human perception". It's the opposite. The computer is selecting some colors from the picture that it thinks are representative of the color palette used.
When you have a look at the code, the way it is done is that it takes the RGB values as coordinates, randomly selects 3 (or N) clusters, and then caluclates the euclidean distance of all points to their nearest cluster. It continues to randomly select new clusters until it decides that the result doesnt improve anymore at which point it just stops and prints out the coordinates (colors) of the clusters.
It should be immediately clear, that selecting another color model, such as HSL or HSV has a direct impact on the calculated euclidean distance, since these color models are not just simple rotations of the rgb cube. Thus it should lead to other (possibly better) results. I am fairly sure that this is what the parent post was suggesting. The color model used to print out the final colors is/could be independent of the one used internally.
"The 24-hour clock enjoys broad everyday usage in most non-English speaking countries, at least when time is written or displayed. In some regions, for example where German, French and Romanian are spoken, the 24-hour clock is used today even when speaking casually, while in other countries the 12-hour clock is used more often in spoken form."

That said, I fully agree with your stance on double-pane editors.

0Reading this article made my kind of angry, as it implies that wave-particle duality was not understood until now. Like here:
> "has proved that two peculiar features of the quantum world previously considered distinct are different manifestations of the same thing"
I frequently encounter this mysterious yet-to-be-understood duality in esoteric discussions (with all kinds of wrong conclusions of course). I think that ultimatly, whenever we teach someone about the paradox behavior of particles/waves, the very next sentence should be "but this is perfectly understood and not paradox at all". While we are at it, instead of saying
> "this is what happens until you sneak a look at which slit a particle goes through"
we should say, "this is what happens unless you bombard the particle with photons, which changes everything, of course".
No it does not. We already have the Schrödinger field, without any notion of an aether. In fact the whole quantum field theory is all about fields and does not require it.
Suppose I have a particle at coordinates (0,0) with some velocity in x-direction. Due to symmetry, the trajectory of a pilot-wave particle has to stay on the x-axis, while in QM the heisenberg uncertainty principle results in some momentum in y-direction.
Wouldn't you need to add some kind of imperfection to disturb the pilot-wave in order to reproduce the probabilistic results?
To be clear: I am talking of displaying a PGP/MIME mail correctly. I am not talking about verifying a signature or composing a signed/encrypted mail (which you probably shouldn't do in a web client anyway). Inline PGP is neither parsed nor recognized.
K-9 on android does not have support for PGP/MIME, probably wont have it for the time to come as it requires fundamental changes in the way the program stores the mails. There doesn't seem to be any open-source mail app on android that can handle PGP/MIME (correct me if I am wrong, I really like to know)
Windows Mail displays the mail's content as an attached text file, which is quite inconvenient.
On the plus side, several web clients I have encountered are now able to handle it. So there is hope.
The mini player is still somewhat bulky, for my taste. I remember Songbird had some skins, that made it even slimmer. I fixed this for me with a small AutoIT script, that fades the player to 10% transparancy when the mouse is not hovering on top of it.
