I'm not following - in part because I'm too young to have ever used Usenet/NNTP. Did you have to offer hosting binaries? My (limited) understanding is it's a decentralized thing; couldn't you just do discussions ove

"Just" is one of the most dangerous words in the English language. I used to work with a guy who used that all the damn time. "It's just X" he'd say. He was never right. Things are never just that simple

I also don't like the UI, but it's only a default. After installing, right click anywhere on the top UI to pull up "Customize...", then in the tab that appears, select "Density" and change it from Normal to &qu

On that thought, is there any way to prevent shootings without making guns harder or impossible for citizens to own? Seems many will not disarm in the US, so should we be exploring other options rather than repeatedly saying the US should b

If you use Haskell, then I'd recommend just using ghci over bc because you can't do floating point stuff in bc: 1/3 0 Whereas ghci, or your language's REPL, will likely do better: > 1/3 0.3

Don't those arguments apply to NCP too? i.e. You need 2 ports rather than 1, and there's probably other disadvantages, but that doesn't affect the average Internet user much.

I suppose that's how it happened; some code to tamper with `/var` was accidentally (most likely - I doubt this was intentional/malicious) added into the update script. When this was tested and run through QA, everything looke
