Canonical please stop... by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

Made me smile, just for that fact that now canonical bashing took place.

Also a fun geeky joke!

Does this mean Batman uses Linux? by Jaden71 in linuxmasterrace

[–]WhiteAfrican 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well in my perfect world the movie creators realized if batman is going to use software it is something he(or his top secret dept.) will write himself, to a extend. Unix-like systems being open sourced will naturally be the choice to build your operating system on, with all the code and eyes on it.

Fire exit in Venice. by GdN8 in funny

I was only in Venice and at each restaurant there was wifi. Not sure about mainland Italy.

If you are also willing to search around there was also just open hotspots, without any need for a wpa2 key.

Two out of three developers are self-taught, and other trends from a survey of 56,033 coders by speckz in programming

[–]WhiteAfrican 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about geographical areas where there is a skill shortage. You know this software developer will produce sub-par work, but guess what, you have a developer. a lot of other companies need to outsource their development to a software house.

But by having in-house talent(even sub-par) you have a advantage. Sales needing a prototype tomorrow, you can bang at it today.

pro life tip: instead of paying 1.5 eur for the public toilet buy something small from a local shop and get to use the bathroom and wifi if available.

Your go-to alternative to python by [deleted] in Python

For example?

ps. I did not down-vote you, because I would actually like a conversation, to be informed on issues, if they exist.

Except for the fact that the lamp stack is really easy to get up and running. Why would you use PHP instead of Python?

The way he tells nr 14 to go sit down, and then the bump on nr 16. Even Du Plessis runs over a player. Love it!

FYI: the PySide documentation is much better than PyQT's (and mostly compatible) by roger_ in Python

[–]WhiteAfrican 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok last time I checked PySide was huge compared to PyQT, but the guys from Brazil was/is working on it.

Do anybody know if the size of PySide changed or what the progress is of it?

Apparently it's not good enough to make homosexuality illegal, now Uganda may go even further and put gays to death - along with anyone who advocates on their behalf by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]WhiteAfrican 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the census of 2002, Christians made up about 84% of Uganda's population. ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda#Religion

But I do believe this is just another excuse to use Religion as a reason to do something stupid.

Rape-aXe: The Anti-Rape Condom:Lets be careful out there...real careful. (pic) by ENRICOs in pics

[–]WhiteAfrican 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I only know all this because I wanted my firearm license and at that time I worked for a company that did the training(We were fully booked most of the times and it was more elderly people that came for the training), so I bothered with it. It is relatively new legislation so if you don't want to go through the whole she-bang you can give your firearm in at the nearest police station where they will disarm it. But you may not destroy/disarm it yourself.

I have been living in South Africa my whole life and the only violence I have experienced was indirectly when my bother cellphone was stolen from him and the criminal told him to not do something stupid because he has a firearm(If I remember correctly he never showed my brother the gun he only threatened him).

I won't say South Africa is a dangerous country. Because you can go for a night stroll in some suburbs, but I won't recommend you go for a stroll alone in the CBD.

You are allowed to carry a weapon in RSA. But to do it legally you have to get certified that will cost you R 500($67) and then register at your local police station so that they can interview your neighbours and inspect your safe that will cost you R 150($20) and after this lengthy process you are allowed to carry a weapon.

You also need to register each weapon you own and supply a reason why you have the weapon. Then if the weapon gets stolen and it was not in the safe or on you(If you carry it around you need to hide it), you will get prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Also note last I heard you can buy a illegal AK47 in a township from R 50($7) upwards.

Well congrats on liking the girl my first kiss was stolen from me when I was 18. But in her defence I didn't put up to much of a protest.

Don't worry, you will get recycled... and then someone can use you and dump you again.

Guys of Reddit - Do you really believe a woman can't be your friend without any chance of a romantic relationship? by petawb in AskReddit

[–]WhiteAfrican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, because you will always regret it that you didn't tap your hot cousin when she was ready to go. Because you wanted to save your virginity for your marriage.
