Since 2006[0]. I remember looking for a small user-friendly distro in 2008/9 that would fit my college-issued laptop's OEM emergency partition (5-ish GB). That partition was never used, as reimaging was the solution to almost every problem, yet they never bothered to delete it from the official images.
In the time and machines since, I've kept using Xubuntu.
There are several inaccuracies and inconsistencies in this.
- Elrond knew of Tom Bombadil.
- Tom Bombadil had heard about Frodo's journey from both elves and hobbits. I.e. He was known to and communicated with both.
- Was there not a hobbit song about him?
As to why the hobbits had little to do with Tom Bombadil...
- A character of his power could easily have chosen to wipe the hobbits memories. Maybe this was his usual approach to hobbit intruders?
- Another possibility it that given Hobbits extreme social taboo about adventures and their fetish for respectability it is quite possible that many hobbits had interacted with Tom Bombadil but few talked about it (e.g. Farmer Maggot).
the text does not say otherwise. But the text is correct that Elrond does not seem to have clear memories of him. From LOTR itself:
> [Elrond said,]‘The Barrow-wights we know by many names; and of the Old Forest many tales have been told: all that now remains is but an outlier of its northern march. Time was when a squirrel could go from tree to tree from what is now the Shire to Dunland west of Isengard. In those lands I journeyed once, and many things wild and strange I knew. But I had forgotten Bombadil, if indeed this is still the same that walked the woods and hills long ago, and even then was older than the old. That was not then his name. Iarwain Ben-adar we called him.
He is not even sure it is the same person that the hobbits are referring to.
Or it could be that he is unremarkable in most of his appearances. As the article states, he is presented as the epitome of hobbithood: a jolly old man who loves song and drink and rarely leaves home, who just so happens to live near a dangerous place.
If Gildor and Farmer Maggot met him, they would have found him entirely unremarkable: just another hobbit with a strange taste in homesteading.
The OP's config files are probably synced across all the servers and workstations they work with.. This is probably done using a familiar tool the OP already knew.
The IDE's config might be synced. If it is it probably uses a proprietary server.
EDIT:
I am not an expert on licensing but it does look like everything is in order from a licensing perspective (the original content is CCA3 and to me it looks like things are credited properly).
That question first and foremost tests English reading abilities. Many mathematically gifted non-native speakers (and indeed native speakers) would miss-understand the "different".
No, but there might be reason to doubt the translation on the basis that the intersection of the skillsets "fluent in Russian" and "total command of the relevant computer science material" might not have many people.
For a fair comparison, the translator would have to fully appreciate the relevant connotation of every significant word like "different" in every question, and successfully convey the same in Russian. You couldn't just go to a regular translation service and get a good result.
A lot of computer-related words in Russian are borrowed with small modifications from English (or from where English took them). Nobody says "electronnaya vychislitel'naya mashina" anymore, they say "computer". Same for file, register, class, object, compiler (kompilyator), algorithm... It happens that tutorials for some computer-related subjects - especially some niche ones - are available only in English. It sometimes help that programming languages use English language base for keywords, so there is less confusion with Russian words.
Doubting that the translation caused some discrepancy isn't unreasonable. Technical and academic works are notoriously difficult to translate, and it's entirely possible that even though "different" was stressed, certain languages lost the distinction, whereas if the word had been "unique" the distinction would have remained.
Although I have no faith in a multiple choice test as a predictor of CS knowledge anyway. That is just a horrible test format anyway.
"Green tea. usually contains around 25 milligrams of caffeine per 8-ounce serving. It's about half of the amount of caffeine found in a typical cup of black tea and one-quarter of the amount found in a typical cup of coffee."
Depending on the brand, it's equivalent to a half of cup of coffee. Although green tea contains l-theanine which helps offset the jitters from caffeine. Personally I try to limit caffeine to the most bare minimum as I personally find that it causes a reduction in my emotional spectrum.
This depends upon where you are doesn't it? In the UK the grounds for arrest are "reasonable suspicion" in the US isn't it "probable cause"? I think that "reasonable suspicion" is similar to 10% certainty and "probable cause" 25% (c/f with "beyond reasonable doubt" which should be 95% certainty)...
I am not a lawyer. If anyone is in doubt I suggest speaking to a lawyer!
"Probable cause" is defined using the word "reasonable" in lots of sources. The root of any UK/US difference is more likely related to drift in precedent over the last couple of centuries than to any precise difference in the meaning of words.
Out of curiosity, what does a UK ballot look like? I found [1], is that typical?
Part of the problem might be one of ballot design. A US ballot is typically considerably more complicated than that. Here's one from New York [2]. There will be many races; in a presidential election there will be president, usually senator, representative, governor, state senator, local councilman, and assorted other offices. At least in New York State, the candidates will be presented by party, so a single candidate may be on the ballot multiple times.
Nobody is counting the US one by hand overnight; not without some pretty comprehensive redesigns of the ballot.
That's one of the simpler UK ballots. Some of our council elections allow us to elect more than one candidate, and our mayoral and police and crime commissioner elections uses the rather oddball supplementary vote system.
The Democrats ran in 4 "parties", and the Republicans in 3 "parties", for governor.
The Libertarian party nominated 2 separate sets of governor/deputy governor.
The non main parties nominated the same people (sometimes), but not for some categories, randomly. Some people are nominated on different parties that nominate different people for governor.
Ultimately, it's a 2-person race in most posts, and a single nomination for coroner.
Why not have 14 simple ballots with a straight choice?
Australia also counts all the votes by hand. In most cases the results for the lower house are known before the day is over, so like the UK we are pretty good at counting votes.
The same people also do the upper house count, which usually elects 1/4 the number of people in the lower house. Very roughly, the results are usually know in a month or so. https://www.aec.gov.au/voting/counting/senate_count.htm
If the results were recorded electronically I guess a computer would spit out the final outcome within a few minutes of the ballot box closing.
In the UK state-level interference would likely go unnoticed if it mugged only postal votes and didn't push too obviously-far in one direction or another. I've been on the receiving end of mail interference and since then I can only assume it's become a lot cheaper to do than it was.
