You can tell it’s a fiction piece, because robot’s battery allegedly lasted more than 10 minutes. > was still on the loose the following day.

Yeah... about this whole crystal growing business. A salt crystal growing guide from the same site was on the front page a couple (?) of months ago. Looked interesting and easy enough , so I gave it a try. So far it has been a complete fia

As a sidenote - “dura” is a common and fairly rude Russian word for “fool” or “imbecile” as applied to women. Perhaps it was intended, but I can’t quite make a connection.

Don’t misquote. Current conflict is rooted exactly in Ukraine trying to aligning itself with the West. It would’ve been the EU first, Nato second for them. That would’ve created a massive headache for Russia, including the loss of its onl

Russia doesn’t give a fuck about Ukraine for as long as it’s not in Nato. Just like the US didn’t like Russian military presence on Cuba, they don’t want the US presence in Ukraine. It’s all fundamentally dead simple. Russia views Ukraine a

Wasn’t Gates mother instrumental to securing that contract because she pitched Microsoft’s Basic directly to the CEO of IBM who was a fellow member of some board they shared?

They are tightening the noose. It’s peanuts enough to not affect that many users, but loud and clear to send the message that Windows is no longer users’. It’s Microsoft’s. If you step back a little, there is a clear pattern. Starting with

Taken to the extreme, that’d be on par with an exe having a valid PE header but random noise for the code. If foo can be launched on a platform that it’s not meant for, it’s an issue with foo, not the platform.

This is a grade A bullshit, with a strong smell of marketing spin to it. If a program crashes on an older CPU, it damn sure will crash on a modern CPU just as well.

Wait till you hear about companies selling plots of the Moon surface and people buying them with a straight face as a high-risk investment.

Not offensive, but weird and puzzling, and not in a good way. Also it’s not the pictures per se, but the need to make one’s affection for guns public.

Unless this guy had a patent, any offer is a good offer. It’s not a terribly complicated feature to do from scratch and it does logically belong to the OS. Blocking it from the store was an ass move, if it indeed happened as described and

Software bugs is an altogether different issue. As it is a far more exotic one. The context of the OPs post and my reply is the case when copying in bulk with a mature tool yields corruption in a small fraction of the data. In this case the

For what it’s worth and based on a non-trivial sample set this is highly atypical.

At the rate they “improve” the UI it’d be a miracle if even most staunch users won’t jump the ship. That clown act they pulled in the recent release with tabs and decimated context menus was the last drop that forced me, the loyal user of 1

60 kilometers per hour, the posted speed limit. Look both ways, then gradually accelerate, but at a slightly faster rate than the most. Pray tell why you think that I “would eventually kill someone”.

Cheers, thanks. Not my first Audi, not my first S either, so I know it’s going to be an excellent car (still being fabricated). IMO you are spot on with the quality remark, especially compared to Teslas. In that aspect Teslas were underwh
