Interesting. I did some googling and found quite a few anecdotes saying similar things. Thanks for enlightening me.

From what I understand, heroin when injected is so addictive that using it even once can put you on a path you never would have gone anywhere near. It takes rational thought out of the occasion, changes your personality and your goals - you

Rather, it's that you got used to renaming files in an open file dialog from when you used other OS's and you now expect it to work like that. Logically, an open file dialog should be read only since the task you're trying to

If it's impossible to checkmate then it's a stalemate. So if one side has one king and the other side one king (or even one king and a pawn, bishop, knight or rook) then it's a stalemate and the game ends. edit: forgot you ca

This is totally unfeasible unfortunately. Either you support running the VM on the stick inside the host device's OS (supporting every major OS), without requiring root access nor installing anything. Or you boot from the stick and inc

Maybe I missed it - where do they say they're DDOSing because of online DRM? And if they are, how does online DRM justify illegal activity? I'm not going to flood someone's shop so they can't open for business because I

Care to elaborate? As a musician I struggle to wrap my head around how people think this is the case. I record a piece of music, I own it. I say if you want to own a copy for personal consumption, it costs $5. End of the argument.

That's a dangerous line of thinking. Just because people in the US have legal access to content doesn't mean you're allowed to steal it. You make the assumption that you're entitled to something if it's commercially
