Thanks for sharing these books, will buy them immediately.

Maybe they can bring some light on why the lunatics are running the asylum in the west.

As an European this is really cool and unlike others self-loathing Americans here in the comments I understand the idea, humor and originality. Happy 4th USA, you are great today due to the greatness of your forefathers and the men that built this nation.
It may help explain the soyboy epidemic happening all over the West.

WaterFox 56 ESR is out with the security patches from FF 57: https://www.waterfoxproject.org/blog/waterfox-56.0-release-d...

I've also decided to stay on 56.02 for a while longer.

But have a look at Waterfox 56: they made it an ESR release and ported many of the security patches from FF 57.

I agree with Cinnamon being polished and deserving much more attention than it currently gets - but what stops me from using it is the impossibility of arranging the virtual desktops (workspaces) vertically Gnome style and the refusal of the Cinnamon devs to implement that - I for one cannot get myself to horizontal workspaces, especially after using Gnome. Some extensions did provide this in Cinnamon but the functionality appears half-baked and the extensions break after each Cinnamon release.
I would bet Eastern Europe, maybe Romania.

For me PHPStorm 7 works fine with OpenJDK on Gnome 3.10.

I also find the second style much more readable.
No way I would be ok with this in my country. I'm not going to break any laws soon, but I don't want to be obliged to leave a paper trail.
As a Romanian myself, yes you are mostly right. But another thing to notice is that most of the Romanians that leave the country aren't well... the cream of the society so to speak :).

Media Temple for one. For a domain or subdomain you had to explicitly choose PHP5 instead of the default PHP4.

To this day these guys have put a huge amount of effort into making our handsets awesome. They deserve even our most humble help.
