Funny how that works. I could feel my eyes relaxing when I clicked the link, and I thought to myself that this is what a readable, content-first, website should look like. Using FF on a regular 24" full-HD screen.

My Amiga managed to do half-quality mono with a 40 MHz 030 under the bonnet (Hippoplayer IIRC). The 16 MHz 030 in the SE/30 would most likely not be able to do that in real-time, assuming that decoder isn't much more efficient com

That's exactly the point of the union, isn't it? An individual worker's demands is nothing compared to one demand with all the workers behind it. Since the value of the entire workforce is higher than the sum of the value of

The problem isn't that the probes get too far out; the problem is that they run out of power. The Voyager probes were launched in the 70's and their RTG's won't provide enough power to keep them running for much longer.

I live in the countryside. During winters (starting about this time of the year), the roads here are barely usable under normal conditions. We occasionally end up not being able to get to the store for two or three days due to heavy snowfal

Here in Finland, the government is playing around with the idea of demanding that the banks' financial systems should be able to operate independently from the international systems in the event of a global crisis. The banks obviously

Definitely. On the other hand, would this have been prevented if the desiscion to increase carbon taxes was taken through a referendum? I suspect many of the people that are currently rioting would do so even if the no-side had lost a refer

The issue described in the article is not an issue with Facebook. Filter bubbles are an issue that's much larger than Facebook. Blaming it all on Facebook would mean we ignore the fact that they also exist elsewhere.

The basic idea is that the will of the people may change at a whim, and that we therefore need safeguards to protect liberal parlamentarism and the basic order of society from changes that would otherwise be disruptive. This obviously prote

The taste (not to mention the color) of store-bought eggs aren't up to par. Eggs from own free-range chickens are simply... better. Also, chickens are really fun animals, and they taste nice too.
