Now you're just dodging the question.

It's a science fiction situational comedy. How could it possibly avoid being contrived? All sitcoms are contrived. All scifi is contrived.

CUPS is probably the print server you're thinking of.

My company sends out these kids of phishing scam test emails too. They were actually pretty decently faked. But, they use the same identifying string in the header of each and every one, so I made an outlook rule to quarantine them In a particular folder so that I could correctly report all of them. Occasionally I report the weird legitimate email surveys we get from HR too and mass emails from IT with bad spelling, just so they don't get suspicious of my perfect record.

You're either responding to the wrong comment. Can't read. Or you think straw man arguments are valid.

I never said either was better, just that's it's foolish to confuse or compare the two.

If your bagel is dry and you can't distinguish it from normal bread, you've never actually had a real bagel.

Tell me you've never had a decent bagel without telling me you've never had a decent bagel. A bagel is not a roll.

I never said either was better, just different.

Browse the wikis a bit and find a doctor you like. Watch some episodes from that Doctor until you're bored. Repeat. You can watch them in any order you like.

Starting with the 2005 reboot is probably easiest and most accessible. Watch for callbacks to previous adventures. If those stories sound interesting dive into the back story.

Everybody has their favorite Doctor. Some like the leather clad skinhead. Some like the guy with the scarf and the Jelly Babies. Some weirdos like the guy with the celery stalk in his pocket. My favorite is the first Doctor. He's in black and white, he's witty, he's grumpy and sometimes mean, and he lies. If you want to know about the origins of the Daleks you'll need to find his episodes. The library is probably the best place to find these. I think there is always Doctor Who streaming or being broadcast somewhere at practically all times. I'm pretty sure I can search for Doctor Who on Plex and find some random episode streaming at any time.

As others have mentioned, several large chunks of the original series are missing, so be prepared for that disappointment.

There is almost certainly a way to do it which a focus on privacy. That's just a technical problem. But nobody's going to profit from it so it will never be developed.

Organizations routinely update how they define things. Especially nuanced sociological categories that do in fact shift with time, public perception, and politics. It's not disingenuous unless those definitions are not clearly described in the literature analyzing the data. Being better able to identify these groups based on more information is a good thing. I've seen no evidence that anything unethical happened here.

$50,000 for that certification sounds cheap.

From the article it does seem that the failure of ability isn't strictly related to computers per SE, but to an over all inability to think about the word problems given in an abstract and mathematically coherent way. They seemed to ask participants to solve what are essentially database query, reading comprehension, critical thinking, and logic problems in the context of an email suite. Word problems can be hard for anyone that hasn't studied and practiced how to decipher them. It's just that using a computer kind of forces one to confront those gaps in what should be a fundamental part of highschool education. Math and science classes aren't just solving problems by wrote memorization or memorizing the periodic table, they are about problem solving. Lots of people fall through the gaps and don't get that one special teacher who understood this.

I'm totally guessing here. They probably changed the definition to include groups that had been previously exclude because those groups had previously disguised themselves as politically conservative or religious groups. Once the conservatives started saying the quiet parts out loud across she country they became easier to identify as hate groups.

Who else is betting the album just isn't very good?

Either way it feels like Wu-Tang is on the wrong side of the class war on this one. The fine art comparison is bullshit. At least fine art owned by individuals is often showcased for public viewing because everyone knows that a print, photo, or public exhibition is not the same as owning the original.

I'm sure Wu-Tang thought they were just exploiting the upper class money laundering system for their own gains, but that just makes them court fools, not revolutionaries.

Just watch them in order by air date. There's no need for spreadsheets or wikis.

I wonder whatever happened to Knoppix. All I've been able to find online is speculation and questions.

Lars ruined Napster. BitTorrent came around some time later after Limewire, Soulseek, and DirectConnect. Lars might have had something to say about Bit Torrent, but by that point no one was listening.

Besides, back then, we really were using BitTorrent mostly for Linux ISOs. At the time it was more reliable than http. It really sucked having to download an entire ISO again because it failed the checksum. BitTorrent alleviated that.

I'm not a nice person. I'm not a kind person. I'm not even a good person. I try to be all of those things and sometimes it feels like a struggle. I don't think I'm evil or a total asshole or a sociopath or something. I just think it a metric we have to constantly check-in on and adjust. I don't really trust people that think of themselves as nice, kind, or good. I don't think I really agree with those people about what it really means to be nice, kind, or good. For example, I do believe the song got it right, sometimes you do need to be cruel to be kind in the right measure.

Yes. Life is stressful enough without screaming in the void at "Internet debators" with the reading comprehension skills of a meatloaf. Blocking is better than getting hounded by their straw man arguments and trolling. If you don't understand this, you're part of the problem.

The only water that I would normally add to a chocolate chip cookie recipe would have been in the form of butter. The water wasn't omitted, it's addition is the oddity.
