And for clarity, some respondents never get to 4, even after replying. I suspect that it’s either a bug or a “privacy” setting.

How this beast works is a thing of beauty. I wrote an article about it in my weekly “Foundations of Amateur Radio” podcast.

That appears to be an earthed plug into an unearthed adaptor. They’re not supposed to fit.

Note, I’m not familiar with Italian plugs, but they look a lot like Dutch plugs which I grew up with.

We have a virtual cat for that reason.

The website has a heading proclaiming that apparently it’s a bad year for the Linux kernel.

I have to ask … compared to what … the Windows kernel?

Wow … so I can finally have root on my own phone?

As long as it’s not a Cane Toad.

Which Android permissions does it require, since that’s pretty much the single biggest determinant of me even contemplating the installation of any app.

I read “OpenOffice” and was very confused too, but eventually my brain caught up. Now I’m just bemused.

I email them to myself.

So … not ESA, the European Space Agency, founded in 1975 then.

Elections generally tilt one way or the other based on fractions of a percentage of the vote, in fact, a single vote can be the difference.

So, if two candidates are evenly matched, it’s possible that a whole state can go one way or the other based on just a few votes.

Note that this is not specific to the USA and I’m in Australia.

As far as “elections” go where there’s only one choice, that’s not an election but a dictatorship and from where I’m standing, the USA is heading in that direction at a breakneck speed.

Good question.

I’m not sure if anyone has created a list. There’s several Wikipedia articles about SDR, including comparison lists, but AFAIK they don’t have pricing information.

I’m astonished at the lack of access controls within the bank.

Basic habit to get into:

If you’re contemplating doing something destructive, do a dry-run first.

In this case, remove the -delete flag, run the command and see what you get.

A good approach is to build a command step by step and test your assumptions each iteration.

Things might take a few moments longer, but one day it’s going to save your bacon.

As for unexpected globbing, learn the difference between quoted and unquoted, and single versus double quotes.

Tax. The. Rich. Billionaires.

At just over 5p per message, that’s pretty much part of the marketing budget.

Seems to me that a fine of that nature represents a solid return on investment rather than a distinctive to do more of it.

I figured that a good percentage of the delivery robots would simply “disappear” from the map and be rebirthed as battle bots in some arena with chainsaw accessories.

For the same reason that they’re targeting Australia, money. Apparently they feel that they’re not making enough of it, so now they’re withholding specific drugs and calling it “a commercial decision”.

In Australia certain drugs are available under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme which is essentially the Government negotiating prices with suppliers and subsidising the sale to patients.

The pharmaceutical companies have been yelling about this for years trying to frame it as anti-competative.

In Australia with universal healthcare, that doesn’t fly.
