Umm, the tool converts the code to C, but doesn't include any of the code (which is a copyrighted asset) and you have to select the code (the ROM) in order to run? Yeah, that's not how that works.

I actually strongly prefer Wikipedia to SO, on Wikipedia the old now-wrong content can just get edited out, on SO you'll have to dig through all the 300-point popular answers from 2012 to find the new answer that says "yeah none o

Prosecution and persecution are two different things. Persecuting anyone is not a good time :) Why, if you're not allowed to release under a license, should you be able to release all rights reserved (which can still be a copyright vio

How does mailing them your money help against a dragnet? How does a VPN help against a dragnet? Like the government can spy on (and somehow SSL MITM) your home ISP but not spy on your VPN ISP?

So the UX and UI that doesn't relate to driving is great, but the UX and UI that relates to driving is crap. Good thing it's not an object whose entire purpose is to be driven. Oh wait.

Capitalism promotes being exactly as un-decent as the market will tolerate.

Definitely the opposite in my experience. Small landlord = much more willing to work with you AND much less likely to screw you over. Lease for a couple years and then 10% raise (while prices in the city go up about 20%). Big landlord = hey

Honestly the only thing that you need is -a (and only if you made the bad choice to do agent forwarding by default). Sending your pubkey (and a signature, because the server pretends to accept your pubkey for some reason?) isn't a secu
