Wouldn't that simply result in businesses paying as little as possible, which would then result in the need to tax the businesses harder?

He probably means using the ¨ modifier on a non-native keyboard. I do that daily after I picked up the habit of using Danish keyboards. For the record, it's a habit you get used to rather fast; nowadays I use the ¨ modifier for ä and ö

> we leased this line from AT&T at the blazing speed of 50,000 bits per second It's amazing that we still have a small number of people connected with connections that are slower than the first one ever, 50 years ago.

This. It's the same reason full disclosure works; it forces people to do better.

Burying the power lines underground does make sense to me, but I live in a quiet inland forest in an area that hasn't seen large earthquakes in recorded history, and I don't know anything about the area affected in this particular

"Space ship" works. :) It's fairly generic though. If I needed a more specific term for space planes like this, I'd probably go with orbital drone", based on terminology used in various sci-fi franchises.

Unfortunately, that still gives a far worse result than when just using a common value like 1920 x1080 x 24. I get that it's good to not report exact window size when the window's been resized, but a maximized window on a full-HD

You know how we've spent four years training users to expect https, by deprecating http in the major browsers? That's resulted in many, many people believing the padlock icon means the site is "safe". I expect that appli

Yeah, the translated VB functions in Excel are a nightmare, especially when one works in a multi-lingual workplace. If you haven't heard finns complain about things being in Swedish before, then I can recommend handing them an excel-sh

Yeah, this debate have spread to quite a lot of the threads on the mailop mailing list recently. It's simply one of those things one has to deal with if one operates an email server.

Hey, with a bit of luck we'll get a nuclear winter which will counter global warming. -.-

> The third option you left out is that the alarm is overinflated. I agree. I intended that to be implied as a possibility for the first option. Bad things will most likely happen, but it's unlikely that it's THAT bad.

> Yeah, this is probably best practice for people in regions that are projected to be left mostly uninhabitable I'd go as far as arguing that _everyone_ should prepare for what's coming. All of us will be affected, be it direct

"site:github.com filetype:yar" usually yields a few good ones. It's probably easier if you're more specific as to which specific use case you have in mind. And yes, Yara is a godsend. :)

I like that idea; An email client that looks and behaves like the regular messaging apps in iOS/Android.

DDG also has it's own crawler, but the bulk of the results are from Bing.

More specifically, I meant the ancient software of the future -- not the stuff that's ancient today. I am convinced that IOT + a large-scale acceptance of IPv6 will result in the Internet being one big battleground.

5G will likely increase IPv6 penetration, resulting in more stuff with public IP's, resulting in more stuff with ancient unpatched software vulnerable to attack. Why would Russia argue against technology that would allow cyber warfare

Yeah, use an old GSM phone that can act as a modem and go nuts -- at 9600 baud. :) I suspect it won't be a very user-friendly experience, but as a POC? Sure!

But _why_? Is there something Disney has that everyone _needs_ to have? My first reaction to stuff like this is simply that I can't be bothered -- if Disney don't want me as a customer then I'll simply ignore their service. T

I'm not an expert, but didn't it take quite some time for stars to create heavier elements like iron, go nova, spread the star-stuff across the Universe, and then repeat until we have the current mix of light/heavy elements?

Precisely! While the risk of most disasters is rather low for most people, there is a considerably larger risk that _something_ will happen at some point. It's only reasonable to be able to survive on one's own if society is disru

I think it's a Western European view. Such services are often free or at least heavily subsidized here.

Me too -- it happens when both one's home and school are on two separate hills. School didn't start until 08:00 though, and it was definitely too early if you asked teenage me.

I don't really think regular winter swimming ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_swimming for the ones of you that are unfamiliar with it) can be compared to swimming 1 km. The former is quite common, but people

ZFS root is cool because it allows using snapshots for the entire system. Failed upgrade? No probs -- just revert to a previous snapshot!
