http://www.calligra.org/get-calligra/ says there was preliminary support for OS X. But the anchor, http://userbase.kde.org/Calligra/Download#Mac_OS_X, is dead and the link given in
"We also provide experimental installer on OS X, current version can be downloaded here." (http://download.kde.org/stable/calligra-2.6.0/osx/Calligra-2...) does not exist.

Pretty lame.

I heard that efficient people don't let work build up and I tried it. If you get a task you can do immediately and not put into a queue, do it now! That advice has saved me tons of time, and stopped me drowning in work.
The nice thing about Facebook, Google, and Twitter is that I don't have to use them. If there is a way to opt-out of what the NSA is doing, or what the government of my own country (Canada) is likely doing, I'd love to know about it.

> This doesn't work for an electric aircraft, or many normal public transport methods as they are all focused on batching people up into large groups (planes, trains, etc).

True, but as the batch size gets smaller, so does the interval between vehicles. "one every minute, on the minute" is not much different from "It leaves when you arrive". This may not work for aircraft, but it certainly would for automated light rail systems.
I could say you're part of the greater fool theory anytime you get paid in or sell something for fiat money. It only has value as long as people are willing to accept it, same thing applies to Bitcoin.

But Bitcoin is also an incredibly small market and as such it's susceptible to manipulation from already wealthy individuals like the Winklevii. Unfortunately for them bitcoin are worthless without circulation (i.e. people willing to accept them).

Bitcoin gained a lot of traction and new blood this year, most of these newcomers are standing around wondering where things will go without thinking about why they invested in the first place. People also don't seem to understand it's still in testing despite the high value.
I'd prefer that we had a ceremonial President like Germany, Ireland or Israel.

Having said that, I prefer having the Royals to an elected non-ceremonial Head of State. Having the Head of State separate from the head of the executive branch of government seems like a good idea to me.
I think he means the connector is pretty big compared to other interfaces such as Thunderbolt. The thunderbolt connector is 7.4mm x 4.5mm, the USB A plug is 12mm x 4.5mm, so the USB A plug is ~60% wider than a thunderbolt male connector.

edit: Casseres's suggestion that the issue is the new (fatter) USB3 micro B is also interesting, and may match the (now) part better than mine.
From your experience, why didn't it execute well?
Parsing as in determining what constructs different lines represent, without running them. Imagine e.g. a documentation generator that needs to figure out what all your methods and parameters are, but not actually execute them (obviously there are many other use cases).

A friend at an old job had a piece of perl code where one of the lines would be a comment or not when you ran it, depending on user input. He would bring it out whenever someone suggested writing something in perl.
Lets solve spaghetti code with more spaghetti code hidden behind some nice UI. How about actually thinking about problems and finding fundamental flaws in workflow? I know it's harder, I know you can't then film fancy promo video in some expensive hotel. But it actually might work.

I'm not saying that ideas of visual programming are bad. What I'm saying it that hiding complexity behind some more complexity and saying that we invented simplicity is bad. NoFlo doesn't look like something new but more like just wrapper around existing methodologies. Nothing new, just hiding details from programmer. OOP way of thinking.

http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk :
> You can create an e-petition about anything that the government is responsible for and if it gets at least 100,000 signatures, it will be considered for debate in the House of Commons.

A protest by 1m people doesn't induce any requirement on the house of commons...these petitions do.

They might not change anything, but at least sign the thing before committing to failure.

> Terrifyingly, speaking as a wet pacifist who couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag, the only way I see to oppose a sitting government is mass violence. Bigger violence that a few summers ago.

OUCH. Maybe i'm should be pro GCHQ, might stop you from stabbing a squaddie.

Using (or threatening with violence) when you feel like you have too little power to change things is a contradiction...if you have so little political power, why do you think your personal physical power will be so much more effective? Terrorists and anarchists are the reasons GCHQ exists.
I see no reason to venerate either flags or royalty. Frankly I find nationalism toe-curlingly embarrassing at best.

If I am feeling particularly generous I tend to agree with Samuel Johnson that "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."

The rest of the time I am more aligned with Ambrose Bierce's version from The Devil's Dictionary.

“Patriotism, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit it is the first.”

I still have yet to find anything supporting the government's accusations. Has anyone else? (I am in no way in support of this decision, however I would like to see the government's argument presented as clearly as was presented in this article if that is possible.)

There's an interview of Jeremy Paxman with Parkinson that touches on the responsibilities of a newly elected PM which include writing (in their own handwriting) orders for the commanders of the nuclear subs. These are to be read in the event that the country is destroyed and they are dead. Tony Blair was so overcome with the gravity of this, he took to his home for a while to mull over the implications.

Oh sorry I was making another point than what was being asked. Yes it works, but what I am arguing is that it isn't the most efficient way. I do like it in the sense that it was the only thing we had for the last 20 years, and I obviously support separating waste (be it at the consumer level or centralized) for environmental purposes, but it's hard to tell what (in hindsight) was best: that we had separation at consumer for the last 20 years, but that we will have to live with a more inefficient system for the next decade(s); or that we would have postponed separate collection 20 years ago until let's say 10 or 5 years ago, and started with the more efficient (centralized) separation system.

It's an interesting question, and very difficult to answer. Like climate studies, you'd need to calculate so many side effects, that your answer might be different depending on the context you take into account. I've discussed this topic quite extensively with colleagues in urban planning and environmental sciences in countries across the world, but nobody knows (obviously) and people's preferences tend to align with what they have or have worked on. Personally I tend towards the automated / technology solutions (i.e., centralized), but I can't tell if that's because of a cognitive bias or from an increased ability in estimating these sort of things from experience, so that basically nullifies my opinion, too.

It's water under the bridge anyway.
You could alternatively use a USB condom; just a cable with the data lines completely removed.

The government of the UK retreats above Hadrian's Wall after civil order in the country collapses in the wake of the zombie pandemic. The Queen refuses to abandon her people and declines evacuation, makes all royal property throughout the commonwealth a refuge by royal decree for any who can successfully reach and hold it, and with her loyal retainers turns Buckingham Palace into a sanctuary (and beacon of hope) in zombie-overrun London. This later proves to be crucial to the UK as Buckingham Palace happens to be on top of substantial petroleum reserves, which wartime exigencies require tapping.

That's what happens, anyhow. Read the book, Max Brooks does it a lot better than I just did from a three year old memory. There is also a very brief meditation by the character being interviewed by the frame narrator to the effect that the monarch is the custodian of the soul of Britain in a way that the Yanks just can't understand. Literary criticism: I would have struck that sentence because the book shows that powerfully and it is weaker for then saying the moral explicitly.

"A proper comparison would pit burning trash against renewable energy sources that don't produce greenhouse gases"

Not really, because carbon neutral renewable energy usable for heating are not plentiful. AFAIK there is only: Sustainable wood pelet burning with particles filters, Heat pumps.

And there is contestations about heat pumps being a green energy source http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/sep/08/heat-pump...

I quit Design School (one of the best in my country) because I really hate how universities work over here, even though it was free [1]. I learn really quick most tasks but the way people are teaching here is slow and really "opressive": you MUST attend to almost all classes otherwise you will automatically fail, you MUST learn stuff you won't even use EVER [2] and so on.
Even though I think that, I'm still attached to learn with a mentor - not a TEACHER - because I think it's the only way I can learn real world shit.
I really hope I can find something that pleases me now that my parents are kinda suffering a economic crisis.

1 - Federal or State Universes here in Brazil are free and most of them are called the best in the country, even though almost ALL lack something like good rooms and research equipment.
2 - There was a subject (I guess it's the right word) we had to study called Technical Drawing. It was like AutoCAD with hands: we had to use different sizes of pencils to draw houses, yes houses. I talked to people that was almost in the end of the course and they said "I've NEVER used this in my projects".

The attack relies on the phone being unlocked for it to give up its UDID (and allow them to push the signed malware to it). If your phone is locked (with passcode) it won't be able to attack it as reliably. You can observe the same effect sometimes with iTunes (it complains the phone can't be read until it's unlocked).

They did mention a fix is coming in iOS 7 (explicit approval prompt on the device), but until then your "USB condom" is probably as good a stopgap as any.
I think you're doing great. You might be comparing yourself with someone who you 'think' is hardworking. That is causing you to feel guilty.

According to this[0] the flush volume of this toilet is 5 liters. If it takes two minutes to flush and refill then the amount of water you could waste in an hour is:

30 * 5 = 150L

If a family is away on vacation, you could theoretically flush for days.

24 * 150 = 3600L per day

In Seattle the water costs about 4.5 cents per cubic foot.[1] (If it costs 4.50 dollars for one CCF (which is 100 cubic feet) then I move the decimal place over two times.)

According to this[2] "1 Liter = 0.0353146667 Cubic Foot"

If that's the case then at 3600L per day you can flush 127.1328001 Cubic Feet of water.

127.1328001 * 4.5 = 572.0976005 cents

Round down to 572, divide by one hundred:

You can grief somebody for $5.72 a day in Seattle with this exploit. If you were to constantly flush all year it would cost you:

$5.72 * 365 = $2087.8

One way you could exploit this is if you obsessively watched out for the neighbors to see when they came and went and flushed when they aren't home.

I always find myself procrastinating when I think the work I have to do will get me bored out of my mind, so I don't even try.There's loads of little things that could stop you from doing some actual work, but I think the main problem is that you are not really excited by what you are supposed to do. If you fix that I reckon you will be in an entirely new world.

There is an excellent solution to the author's dilemma. He does not have to use Facebook or its API. That's the great thing about capitalism and the free market. He has a choice. Also, because he is not motivated by money, he can make his own, perfect platform, motivated by the plight of the proletariat and it will be noble and superior in every way. He can give away the games he makes because who needs money in such a utopia... Give me a break. Shut up and make a better API that cares about backward compatibility. Give the aloof moral superiority a rest.

Those are the "facts" without any context. Context is important.
Absolutely agree with this. You're exhibiting the behaviour of someone in a deep conflict because you're not doing what you really want to do, but cultural and societal norms are forcing you to play out this role, and you're getting enough rewards from it (monetary and psychological) to keep you in this stasis of inaction.

There is no quick solution, as you can see from your father who has probably battled with the same thing all his life too and millions of people who do jobs they don't like.

You will not beat it because this situation is deeply and invisibly ingrained in today's society, and you have none of the skills required to make the deep psychological changes required.

If you want to give yourself a chance, you need to take drastic action. There are two real choices:

1) Stay inside the system: Therapy. Understand yourself, understand the real social and psychological landscape in which you're living and learn how to make real changes.

2) Get outside the system: Drop out, reinvent yourself from the ground up. Make a break, go meditate in India for a year, find out what it is you really want and give yourself the space to do it.
