Watching someone else' head motions is never anything like it matching your own. Unless you've worn one, you can't speak to that with any basis in reality.

Think of it as a massive site filled with their own little slashdots that are, more or less, self moderated.

Isn't flipping "about:config?filter=browser.pocket.enabled" enough?

Start with "about:config?filter=browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete" - also consider "about:config?filter=xpinstall.signatures.required" if you need to use unsigned addons.

looks a bit like Han Solo's Millennium Falcon, towed in for repairs after a run-in with the Imperial fleet.
Sure, in the same way a croissant does.
Meaning, not at all.

git pull [URL]
[do stuff]
git add [modified files/dirs] (might not be necessary, probably mixing up git and hg)
git commit -m "message"
git push
WOW, That was so incredibly complicated! Seriously, I'm not seeing a difference (to the user) for basic use between svn and git. I'm speaking from the perspective of a user who has a few local repos for random things he's created.

Serious question, as I'm not really a coder... what makes Git harder on newcomers than svn, cvs, and so on? I've touched git, hg, svn, and cvs, and of them, git/hg seem to be MUCH easier to work with than subversion or cvs (especially cvs - I hate more than is healthy).
From my layman experience I'd consider git and mercurial more or less equivalent. The only downside I could see is how clients effectively get the whole branch history locally, which can grow to be pretty large if people aren't disciplined about avoiding large binary files and such.

What's wrong with the rear, where I presume the DC terminals are located? You should have little access holes in your rack so you can feed cables between racks if necessary. Doesn't take much, an inch of clearance is way more than you need - but it's enough to shove a console cable through if you need to access it from the wrong side,

"I was not thinking a lot when I got in. There was so much work to be done. We had so many problems around the world. I didn't really stop and think what kind of email system will there be."
... and you shouldn't have. It's not your damn job. There's IT people who are supposed to do that, not you. You created this problem by trying to run the chef's kitchen for him.

The TPP itself isn't a bad idea, the problem is the bullshit they're weaving into it that, really, doesn't have anything to do with it.

Just be sure to reinforce the frames and the walls as well. A steel door doesn't mean anything if the frame is rotting apart, or the wall is paper thin.

Go grab a model aircraft. Spin up the prop, and drop a piece of shot into the prop.
You'll probably end up with a broken prop, without any appreciable ballistic energy being involved.
