That is fantastic. I might finally make the switch over from firefox.

Especially the passengers. They have buses running on natural gas, and when they need to fill up everyone piles out.

It seems like you're using OSes that are trying to cater to a diminishingly technical crowd. I read (somewhere, a year or so ago) that the generation now in their late 20s/early 30s was the last one that actually needed to care a

In Bolivia you have to get out of the car while fueling, because there's a nonzero chance the car will explode. We're a little too stringent about that sort of thing in the US.

It's also common in Bolivia, and for personal vehicles as well. The reason we don't have it in the US, from what I've heard, is because it doesn't meet our safety standards.

That would be insanely easy for the US government to set up.

Nothing fancy; basically what ravenstine said. If it's interesting, and I want to hold onto it, I youtube-dl it. Eventually it makes its way onto a USB backup drive.

I agree. Ran into that wish again this morning setting up a new computer installation. Only thing that I have to carry over manually.

I have some old PowerEdge 2650 servers that are 32 bit. Old, but useful.

Why did you think I was talking about America?

The thing is, we don't know what they were describing. There's a lot of strange things old records describe that do turn out to be true; I don't think it's wise for us to be so dismissive.

Honestly, it could go both ways. It can also be a comforting thought that the world isn't sinister and corrupt, and that people who think it is must have psychological problems. :) Same disclaimer applies.

Fair enough. In my case it's been more motivated by conspiracy theory, that maybe there's some suppression of incongruous data going on. Which could be reasonable, given Monsanto & Snowden.

> easily and trivially Really? I think the current ecosystem of lobbyists and tax evasion (remember the Paradise Papers?) puts the lie to that idea. I don't think you have any basis on which to make that claim.

> Instead, they're flinching away from uncomfortable ideas In my experience of talking with 'climate deniers', that has never been the case.

The show Altered Carbon described an alternative consequence of extended lifespans - the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and because the rich don't die, there's no 'reset button' at the transition between generatio

If the available RAM were somehow expanded to the full amount available in hardware, it seems like this could be an interesting type of HPC system. No bloat, simple execution.

That may simply be the result of an interface that doesn't let them be efficient or productive.

Yeah, that's what I bookmark instead of playing tag with the latest clearnet domain.

On what basis could he make that claim? A sense of dissociation?

It sounds like hardware side of computer science is rediscovering the UNIX philosophy - each unit does one thing, well, with standardized interfaces.

What you're recounting seems (from the article) to be the Canadian government's side of the story. The 12th paragraph of the article begins the Inuit's description of what happened. > Most Inuit look back very differently

I don't think the GP's position has anything to do with slowly implemented tyranny; the GP is only referring to once the ragtag group has formed, and assessing their chances of success. I think that what you describe as the boilin

Vietnam beat the US. The Taliban is beating the US. The US was founded when farmers used guerrilla warfare tactics against the current world superpower. South America guerrillas are unbeatable. It's really your position that is unte

I like how you put "prevent tyranny" in quotes, like it's not believable.
