My career is basically computing and my hobbies/interests include cycling/motorcycling, science, programming, open source software, electronics, activism/politics, maths, games, youtube gamers. The lot. While I'm a vegetarian I haven't seen any meetup group or club based around that anywhere near here. There is a vegetarian pub but, what, I'm supposed to just start talking to a complete stranger somehow? Thus, I know lots of dudes and only 1-2 women my age.

I'm in the UK in a town without much intellectual scene, e.g. there's no university (well there is but it's drama, english, humanities, etc) or technology/sciencey companies nearby. I'm not at the university and don't see any way to meet

The typical motorist RLJ is much more dangerous than on a bike. Obviously the speed and weight of motor vehicles are both higher than someone cycling.

Even with this, most motorist RLJs I've seen when the light has just gone red and at high speed, even a full 2 or 3 seconds after the light went red, thinking that the other direction didn't have green yet. This is obviously dangerous.

Most cycling RLJs I see are a cautious, slow movement through the junction while carefully giving way to other traffic.

I made the extra LinearLayout to gobble up all the space on the left of the button and try to center the textview in the remaining space. It will center the textview vertically just fine, but center_horizontal or right makes no difference. The text box is always on the left: http://imgur.com/IAOPkch

We're paying £30 ($48) per month to these guys (UK virtual private server) and this happens. It was down for a few hours a couple weeks ago. They said the chance of data recovery (getting our map back) is pretty slim so their backup system (if they have any) seems rubbish too. I'm only posting here as it seems to be a mass failure at Creeperhost; has probably affected a fair number of users.

I want to copy the whole current line (before and after the cursor), without deleting it. In vim, my friend tells me this is yy or y5y for 5 lines. What about emacs?

In gnome-system-monitor (running as root and showing all processes), when I add up all processes using more than 5MB of ram in a spreadsheet, these add to about 1000MB. The total usage is 1.5GB (without buffers - "free" on the terminal says with buffers it is 2500MB)

Here's a screenshot of gnome-system-monitor showing processes, sorted by memory usage. The rest are mostly under 1MB.

Where has this 500MB gone? Some process has to be using it, surely. I'm running Ubuntu with only Firefox and Gnumeric open. Firefox is only using 500MB. I notice "virtual memory" and "resident memory" columns have larger numbers than "memory" in gnome-system-monitor, but these add up

Do you cycle? How do you find it in your area? If not, why not? Please state your country/state.

Secondly, what do you think about taking some space/convenience away from cars (lanes/parking reduction, also lower limits on minor residential streets) to make high quality physically protected cycle lanes, like in NYC? That sounds bad, but in practice congestion doesn't increase much as some number of people shift from driving to cycling/walking/transit and choose different routes / travel less often (see road diets and traffic evaporation). Less cars should make streets more pleasant too. On the other hand, less lanes does mean an area can't facilitate as many car journeys - how much space sh

If you haven't heard, Lulu is a "social network" app for women that integrates with facebook. If you have a facebook account, any girl listed as a friend can leave and see dating reviews of you. Lulu says "Girls can only see and create reviews of their male Facebook friends." At least girls you don't know can't see your reviews.

I found this link the other day, which claims that men can "opt out" of Lulu. Good. So I click it and what does it want?

*Lulu will receive the following info: your public profile, friend list, email address, relationships, birthday, education history, hometown, current city and Photos and your friends' relationships,
