   I believe that pets are already clonable and this service is available from companies. The problem is that traits such are coloration and perhaps, personality, tend to be polygenic and influenced by environmental factors. Thus the clones ar

   They sort of do have it. You can be playing music on your phone and "tap it" onto a HomePod. It also works the other way, I can ask Siri on the HomePod to play something, and the details will show on my iPhone & iPad.

    I maintain COBOL systems for a large department of the Australian Government. The new code and UI are in midrange Java, but older parts and especially batch processing including generating correspondence is done on the mainframe.

    Oh, thanks for that info. Yahoo had locked me out asking for 2nd factor when I hadn't supplied a 2nd factor. No response to any support requests. I'll try it and see if I can get in.

    Reasonable logic, but I feel that a moderately priced small/medium electric car would be ideal for the day-to-day short trips around town that is most of our driving these days. Unfortunately such cars don't exist yet in my market

    There's also the existing code at the site for reference. That's how you should be doing things. You need a really good reason to not follow the local conventions. So, most answers you seek will be in the existing code base. Also,

    Same with me re wired whenever possible. Especially for things like streaming boxes which want a good connection and use high bandwidth. I save the wifi for things that really need it, and they should be faster as a result.

    Has anyone else used an IBM mainframe with a hardware 327x terminal? They process all normal keystrokes locally, and only send back to the host when Enter and function keys are pressed. This means very low latency for typing and most keystr
