CONFIG_AMD_NUMA is for older Opteron type CPUs, though I don't see the point in disabling the other options other than what would be considered a "dick...

A bit odd that you only use his first name(s)......

Difficult to tell since the RHEL kernel is heavily modified, people spent an inordinate amount of time on the thankless task of backporting fixes to this...

That does sound a bit cumbersome, then again you can't really use Outlook for any serious e-Mail communication anyways... Though I have to say the browser...

I'm still waiting for the proof that discrimination exists. Ironically, what Outreachy really proves is that some people are more likely to do volunteer...

I think there isn't really any good research into that, it is just assumed that the reason must be discrimination. I think separating people by the racial...

I don't know why this isn't illegal. After all to run the pre-installed Windows you have to agree to the EULA (you can get the license price refunded...

What annoys me is that I can't just buy the whole line-up without any OS pre-installed. Any serious user will wipe the pre-installed OS anyways....

I recently bought a Thunderbolt Dock from Akitio, the Thunder 3 dock pro. Works very well with Linux, 10 GBit/s Ethernet via Aquantia, plugging and unplugging....

I think having something like AUR for Debian as well has already been suggested. I think it's a great idea....

I think also, if someone has a problem with someone else's behaviour, they can simply block or ignore that person, or contact them directly first. No...

I'm German, working in a very diverse office setting (people from all over Europe, Russia, India, China, Middle East), in the corner I sit Russian is...

I think mutual tolerance is very important. Finding a way to work together.

Earlier in this thread you called me retarded. I now have a couple of choices: I can run to Michael, demanding you be banned for abusive behaviour. I...
