What's the difference? Both make this feature (and more general use of the archive) useless.

Does this mean it only took Firefox some 10 years to integrate (part of) the Resurrect Pages extension?

You don't have to request anything. Just alter robots.txt and you can make the Wayback Machine memory hole your entire website.

Oh many reasons. It is the most colossal waste of money. It is a horrible IP abuser. Almost everything surrounding it is massively corrupt. Some sports don't deserve to be in because they are not about (or less about) individual athletic performance.

Even if you like the competition those seem like strong reasons not to watch.

I personally think that if you are going to allow finely engineered shoes, poles, javelins, boats, balls, bicycles, then you should allow finely engineered bodies.

No. This place hates humour, hates fun, and hates anything that distracts from the serious discussion that happens. I'm sorry you had to find out the hard way.
> There are lots of professionals in other Olympic sports.

So then there is absolutely no point in watching. Well, not until they start the doping league. (Should we debate whether the current one is?)

Paying for travel to the games, maybe.

Amateurs, except for the tennis players, the football players, and the bicycle riders. All of which are the big name stars who get paid to compete in other dedicated tournaments. I'm sure there are others too but those are the most promoted sports.

I don't think the ones above get paid for the Olympics though.

Oh, it wants to fund new stuff and not fund a Firefox, Gimp, Linux kernel, whatever dev to work for 6 months.

What is wrong with you? You are living the dream. That sounds like the perfect life. I wish I had that when I was 22. Heck I wish I had that now.

Re:Protect our Git repos: stop foxtrot merges now on Friday July 29, 2016 @06:13AM (#12185854)
A better solution: rebase or cherry-pick so that every commit has one parent and history is linear. That way every commit shows what was actually changed.
Heart disease could be cured by spending less money. Less money on food that is. Diabetes too (type 2 at least).

Thanks for the clarification.

I thought it was. Isn't it called Arc?
"Facebook is a private company. They can choose to remove anything they like. You have no right to use their service." Blah, blah, blah.
Oh no. Someone meddling in US politics for a change.
Which would be a nice excuse for Facebook so I am surprised that they haven't used it.
So they deliberately only put details about women on the internet? Or was it not deliberate and the data set just happens to be only women? Or are men included and we don't care about them?

It is the new Live Journal, Blogger, Wordpress, or whatever.

To me it doesn't look like the FLOSS people are on it but rather a bunch of marketing types. Usually the new startup of the month has its company blog on it. Fashionable javascript library of the week too. Or is that just because most links I see published here are for this kind of use?

A "concrete sign" in the form a a virtual graph showing some obscure figure (PMI or purchasing managers index) produced by some obscure group (Markit) has dropped.
Block all ads and (try to) burn the whole fetid industry to the ground.
Is it? Aren't all measures necessary to stop the "1 in 5" epidemic?
