You should do a similar experiment with BTC, or BTC+litecoin+eth or something like that. The APIs are already there.

I'd much rather all that money be spent improving the VA, or numerous other problems veterans face after serving. Then we can talk about football flyovers.

It is. They jokingly call it "Windows for Warships", because instead of taking the time to develop a more-or-less dedicated OS to run the entire ship, they used OTS software. It is and was a terrible idea.

Hence, why I still use Winamp 2.95. I've tried Tomahawk, WMP, VLC, and others. But they all have some stupid social connectivity, or rating/library organizing thing (so does Winamp, but it's unobtrusive), or just takes too ma

But what about configuring additional libs in VS, or autoincrementing the version in the resource file? Or when you import and very old VC++ project and the auto conversion process only sort-of fixes things? That's what I'm talki

Laziness. Even embedded linux things (routers, cameras, etc.) tend to have outdated packages and unnecessary binaries (netcat, etc.) left from the 'standard install'. Lots of people only "do Windows" so that's the c

This was/is the biggest gap in my knowledge. Setting up cmake, or make, or the autotools on Linux, or setting up cmake and Visual Studio (the configuration options) was always a big stumbling point for me. I've only gotten the han

Huh? That's one self-described "thought experiment" by two scientists that attempts to fit Moore's law (you know, governing CPU speeds) to evolution. It doesn't fit, surprise. This is after they arbitrarily define &

Not having free will and being capable of acting on it are two very different things. That is, it doesn't matter if we have free will or not, we can't base any immediate decisions on it since we are not Laplace's demon.

Modern cars don't need it that often, period. Conventional or synthetic. Parts stores still push the 3k miles/3 months (or did until very recently). Dealers and manufacturers don't, and haven't for at least 10 years.
