Good luck getting people to start taking them!

I also know of plants that protect from weight gain. They're called vegetables. :p

Reiser did nothing wrong

Nope, they keep making new ones.

"Killing lawmakers passing laws to protect young females is unacceptable."
That is incorrect. It is very acceptable, should be encouraged and applauded.

Girls were made for men.

So double conservative:
Regressive.

Yea, the hate against women should be replaced with love for young girls.

Pretty sure crossfire takes place in a medieval fantasy world tho...

If only.

DFSG Compliant.
Text console game.
Same/Similar quality as boatloads of other text console games in Debian.
One of the only programs of its type in the field (text console _casino_ games).

1366x768 is a standard resolution for laptops

Yes thanks! Thats what I meant, mind typo. 1366x768 is like the plague here. It is really hard to find another resolution on mainstream stores...

Edit: the list of W3Counter's statistics corroborates this. Didn't know that it was winning by that much :D
1 1366x768 20.80%
2 1920x1080 7.48%
3 1024x768 6.77%

Any advertising is good advertising?

You use your tablet as a Desktop? How far we have come

...that a certain amount of trolls is necessary to keep a thread or even a whole forum alive.
I only wish, it wasn't that kind of troll here, which created a honey pot for A.C.s and soon
more than 100 posts, which proves me right. :-/

Doesn't crossfire take place in a medieval fantasy world?

No, that's mikee's life!

BeagleBoard, not BeagleBone. Two different devices. GP said BeagleBoard, which did originally sell for over $100; you countered with BeagleBone, an entirely different device. To my knowledge, none of the original BeagleBoards had GigE, but this newest one does.

I would have liked to see an option for "depends on where I am", personally. When I'm at work, 1600x900. At home on the PC, 1680x1050 + 1024x768. Consuming media on my tablet, 2560x1600.

I'm surprised to see TT-RSS not mentioned. With the death of Google Reader looming in December 2012, I switched to a self-hosted instance of TT-RSS, and I read it across all my machines and my phone.

It has article expanders and filtering, so there's a little bit of overlap with some of the other services you mention. Having used it for close to 2 years now, I can highly recommend it.

One of the things that annoys me about all existing social networks is that none of them let you connect the RSS feed for your blog for auto-posting. Instead, you have to find a third-party service that provides this functionality via your preferred silo's API, and hope the API doesn't break.

I'd rather have tech implanted directly into my head and controlled by thought -- as long as the OS is free software and doesn't phone home.

Having read the linked email, I'd suggest that "death to women's rights" is better described as reactionary, rather than merely conservative.

Killing lawmakers passing laws to protect young females is unacceptable. In any case, if we killed people we didn't like we would run out of people soon enough.

Please provide evidence to support this claim?

Anything written against systemd in Debian is "trolling", so maybe you're right.

Those people passing those laws, and those activists, need to be killed.
Sometimes they are killed in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This is a good thing.
Sometimes advanced forms of such activists are killed in Russia, this is also a shocking, almost unbelievable, but good thing.

Girl children are often very pretty and cute. They are desirable to males. For that reason
it is bad that such laws you are talking about are passed.

Additionally straight up forcible rape of an unespoused young girl is fine in the Old Testament
(Deuteronomy 22 28-29 (hebrew)), though the man must pay the father and keep the girl if discovered.

That same book also states that those trying to get someone to follow another rule/judge/god (the hebrew can mean any of these things) than that found there is to be killed.

IE: The activists you speak of.
The Pakistanis, the Afghans, Putin's friend from the caucuses, they are all doing what the Old Testament God
of the book of Deuteronomy commands.

There were zero proper reasons to reject the program. Debian packages many text console games of similar value and complexity.

The Debian developers rejected the game solely because they are feminists.

well, i am using hdmi, not dvi at the moment. couldn't be sure whether your tv handle that input differently or not. my smartv still seems to do a bit of processing while in gamemode...its not crazy, but i'm sure there are players out there who would take issue.

Hmm... Newegg doesn't show any monitors with 1440 x 768. Maybe 1368 x 768?

I mainly just included the resolutions that had over 90 results from Newegg.

All of the "problems" that you listed, I think are actually quite good developments

I am not 100% sure of that. It could introduce "bottlenecks" into Linux. At the moment if I don't like Gnome3 or pulseaudio I just don't use them. I don't know if the current development leads in a direction, which might limit this choice in the future.

Yeah "too soon", but not in the way you're thinking...
Give them a year or two.

I was into FreeBSD before Linux. I'm still interested in its development, as its an alternative development to LInux. I think we're all better for having different operating systems exploring their own paths. I really only switched off FreeBSD, due to some performance issues it had running common FOSS applications due to its threading library.

I think Linux is still very much ahead in os design. All of the "problems" that you listed, I think are actually quite good developments ( except Unity ). But I trust FreeBSD to come up with something cool, none-the-less. BSD's always do great stuff. Just not as fast to keep up with Linux.

1440 x 900 and an aux at 1024 x 768. Why all the "normal" wide resolutions that I see all the time now, like 1440 x 768, are missing and you have 2560x1440 there? :)

No, I wasn't saying that I agreed with the position. I was saying that is why the decision was made. And frankly, as others have pointed out there were plenty of other reasons to reject the program.

1920 x 1200 and 1920 x 1080

Well, if the "men" are trying to "marry" "young girls" I should hope that someone steps in then slowly and carefully explains to them what statutory rape is.
Laws are being passed around the world to prevent forced marriage, and prevent marriage before the age of 18. This is a Good Thing.
If you disagree, then please state why.

Perhaps, centuries ago, when a self proclaimed prophet walked the earth who had a lust for pubescent girls this behaviour was accepted. It is not so now.

Sometimes I feel so disappointed by the human race. Suing the property owner when you are on their roof and fall down. Great.

Doesn't crossfire take place in a medieval fantasy world?

Yes.

There are virtually no places left that men may marry young girls for instance.
Why is that? Feminist activism.
How could it be that powerful? Well bombs from an empire are pretty hard to argue with, as are economic threats.

They don't leave men alone.

And you must build your houses that they can safely use those devices.
God forbid you did not clean your windows properly, the grippers lose their
grip and the wannabe thief falls.

Not that you get sued....

Input lag.. oh great, am about to hook up my primary pc to the wall tv via dvi

Hook in piwik to this Pipe, scrape visitor monitor res data and publish in csv and pretty primary colour based graphs

1024x768

I can see this being the must have stocking filler item for aspiring thieves in a few years time :-)

Are they really so bad that the only solution is death? I propose a better solution: let them rant and rave, take onboard the good that they have to offer, ignore the bad, and let us all get on with Life.

Still happens today in 2014 in Australia and in England. It is bad enough in Australia that there was a law passed specifically to prevent forced marriage of minors.

Mikee! I'd almost completely forgotten about you!

Those of you unfamiliar with them might find Mikee's maps for the old Linux crossfire rpg enlightening. Apart from being horribly buggy, they have "views" that were certainly never mainstream spread throughout them. Female characters have ridiculous, puerile dialogue, bizarre references to torturing feminists and being rewarded with child brides abound... the whole thing seemed completely unhinged.

....but I change this decision now. Negative votes are still possible.
