  • vbCrLf

  • Don't be ridiculous--it's obviously 1 child each. But what's not clear from the article is how those who already have more than 1 decide which to get rid of before they turn 35.

  • I remember hearing a story of a UN or EU real-time translator working German to English suddenly stopping, the English listeners looking a bit confused, and after another 15 or 20 seconds of hearing the German speaker continue with still no translation, just heard a whispered "the verb, dammit, the verb!" through their headsets.

  • 'Get her!'--that was your whole plan?

  • I didn't see anything in there breaking it down to Europe specifically. It's was -12% (after currency conversion) for EMEA, and -11% for North America.

  • You should read his wiki page--quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.

  • Sometimes you can Ctrl+drag (which is copy) text to those annoying 'repeat your email' fields that won't let you paste.

  • !!true

  • Sardines, olives, capers.

  • I honestly can't remember the details, but I followed an Arch guide somewhere (probably the wiki). It definitely prompts me for passphrase on boot.

  • Downvoters go whoosh.

  • Lots of percussive maintenance going on around here, but one that sticks in my mind was testing some of the first 486DX PCs in 1990. One particular specimen from Compaq would only boot after hard power off by taking the lid off and tapping the CPU with a screwdriver. Worked fine after that.

  • Yes, but to do that they have to be decoded and handled. That's basically what the commenter above was saying.

    The original 6502 had many undocumented opcodes for this reason, and developers stated exploiting them for various reasons. The CMOS 65C02 redefined them to no-op. This has been going on a long time.

  • When I was 18 and in my first job, my boss and I installed the very first windows NT file servers for a major uk public sector organisation. They were all named after beers that we'd drunk on team nights out. We had Blacksheep, Tanglefoot, Snecklifter, and so on. They were in a test environment so it didn't matter. Until they went into production...

    That was over 30 years ago now, but I still usually resort to beers.

  • Working fine in Arctic

  • Remember having one of these at school in the late '70s / early '80s

  • But you get the joke faster now.

  • Btrfs with pre and post pacman-triggered snapshots. Only had to use it once, but it was very smooth.
