Ah yes, the modern day equivalent of recording radio broadcasts to magnetic tape. Made a few mixtapes that way myself. They were absolute garbage quality and I never listen to them anymore, but it was an interesting exercise and my only option for some stuff at the time.

Now I just buy as directly from the artist as I can for things that are rare enough that they are difficult to pirate.

Find an online guide. Print to PDF or save as HTML/ODF/whatever you like. Annotate the document. Now notes and article are searchable. I guess a physical book might have an advantage if the power went out, but at that point you're going to have other problems implementing the things the book suggests.

Shitting on other people's lifestyles and the things they like because you don't like them and don't understand them seems kind of antithetical to the philosophy of this community as I understand it. No? Would it be appropriate for Americans to start mocking English football and their scarves?

Which season? You mean which Star Trek, right? Do you want: 60s Technicolor and skirts; Animated not because it's for kids, but because special effects are expensive and difficult; Androids and friendly Klingons; Frontier space station; One ship alone against an entire quadrant of the galaxy; Time travel and a theme song with words; Tripping through space with the help of mushrooms; Animated, this time for kids; Star Trek, now with more heart; Star Trek: beyond retirement; Star Trek: humor will set us free?

Setting the obviously racist inane bullshit aside, what the fuck does this question have to do with vocabulary? Those are all concepts expressed phrases, a concept entirely different that vocabulary.

Ask a lawyer for an informed opinion. They'll (hopefully) have the tools to determine what this easement means for you as a potential homeowner on the parcel. The Maine Geological Survey has an item in their FAQ of some relevance.

I don't know how common these kinds of easements are in Maine, but I would not purchase any real property that could be used and abused at the whim of a corporation with a team of well paid lawyers.

It seems like a pretty good space filling method for a worm. Probably also has something to do with not eating away the leaf your worm body trailing behind you is clutching.

What did you expect, the ~~Gilbert~~Hilbert curve? Wait, is this actually a rough Hilbert curve?

Edit: Gilbert? Why autocorrect? Why? I know no Gilberts. This is the first time I've ever intentionally typed Gilbert.

Every American should report the inaccurate name to Google repeatedly until they change it back. How many reports would it take to at least inconvenience Google?

Beginner tutorials exist. Have you even tried looking? Linux has better documentation than anything I've seen in any other OS. Man pages, help files, and commented configuration files galore in just about every single Linux distro without any Internet needed, but it sounds like you never even bothered to look for them.

Sure, assholes online exist in Linux communities, but they are EVERYWHERE. We've got a couple right right here. That doesn't exactly distinguish FOSS communities from any other.

Generalizations about all of FOSS based on your limited experience with a few distros is just asinine. FOSS is way more than an operating system.

Expecting a machine to hold your hand through your learning is such a weird form of entitlement and an especially weird distinction to make since no other operating system does that to the level you expect either.

Corporations pay for support services. The code is free (as in speech). No one ever claimed that the support was also (or even should be) free. Microsoft support is a joke. Apple support is mostly just a sales scheme. Linux support forums might be hostile to entitled noobs looking for a handout and a quick fix, but they are fucking heros when given a chance to help those who put in the effort to help themselves.

I pretty sure that's not what non-Eucludian means. It's not just built on a rounded surface. The lines of latitude and longitude we define on a globe may exhibit non-Eucludian geometry, but that doesn't mean your house is non-Eucludian.

These things are non-Eucludian: parallel lines that diverge or converge; triangles with interior angles don't add up to 180 degrees; hallways that appear perfectly straight, but also intersect with themselves; square rooms where every wall is perpendicular, but opposite walls aren't always parallel. Brain breaking stuff, not "all of our geometry". That would be dumb.
