I'm crying... by joetheschmoe4000in harrypotter

[–]railmaniac 1 point2 points ago

Memory's a tricky thing. The first time Harry sees his family is in the Mirror of Erised - where he sees them as they would have been at that point of time. Since he has no other clear memory of them, he would remember them thus in all of his other memories, which means that from Harry's point of view they would always appear 30+ years old.

Right until the point he sees the portrait of the old Order of Phoenix, of course.

Managing KVM-LVM based virtual machines: backups, cloning, and more by VitoBottain linux

Very good. This sort of interesting and useful posts have gotten quite rare here recently.

I want to convert my 9 year old PC into a Linux OS. Which version of Ubuntu should I look into? Here are my specs by sgtsaughterin Ubuntu

[–]railmaniac 5 points6 points ago

On that even the regular Ubuntu would be fine, but if you still want something lightweight - Xubuntu, in my opinion, strikes that perfect balance of being light enough on resources and having enough features to be actually useful.

I just noticed the Pi symbol in the bottom right of every Reddit page, what are some other cool Reddit Easter eggs? by stucknmovein AskReddit

Heh, I've actually tried to create a [deleted] userid. Reddit doesn't let you use '[' in usernames.

Or at the very least, not giving DDL privileges to the app schema.

Japanese man severs real estate agent's arm with katana by kilmore_troutin worldnews

I don't see why you have been downvoted so heavily for this comment. I can easily imagine a scenario where a sword would be more effective than a gun due to range.

For example, according to this site an AK47 is about 25 inch from trigger to muzzle. So if someone is standing closer than 25 inch from you, it would be awfully complicated to shoot at them. On the other hand, the typical Japanese Katana has the blade edge start right where the handle ends, which is not usually longer than a foot.

What sort of stupid question is that? The choice is obviously in the hands of the nutter attacking you - all you can choose is a fucking chair.

I also laughed quite hard at this but I restrained myself before I would pee into H4zzard's bed.

Bash.org is blocked at my work. Is that the 'DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCK' one?

Do NOT risk this. Toothpaste, while safe applied orally, contains high amounts of Calcium and Fluoride salts which must not enter the bloodstream, otherwise they react with the phagocytes and cause an allergic reaction. This is also why people with bleeding gums are advised to avoid using toothpaste.

Disclaimer: I just made all that up.

If you're on the same wifi network (and it's a secure one) ssh + x11vnc is a fast way of viewing a remote desktop.

I like how he claims kate will eat up your resources and then offers Eclipse as alternative.

Is it wrong I would buy this shirt? by SirJiggartin ImGoingToHellForThis

Definitely India, based on the flag in the background of the political poster behind him. South India, judging by his skin tone - I'm guessing Tamil Nadu.

Ninja edit - nvm, saw your username. You probably figured this much out yourself!
