You do realise it's the citizens that voted trump in? And you don't have to ban them, just make them more expensive. Your US brethren did vote for tarriffs. With that comes higher prices.

You do realise that Germany had a shiny new constitution, and then went on to elect that Austrian painter. And that's after the prior new and shiny constitution leading into ww1 Afghanistan had a new constitution and legal system when

It still is. We still aren't doing border checks on EU imports. Still, Boris Johnson wasn't as bad as Trump.

Window 95 ran on 8mb of ram. The first Amigas had 512k of ram. Both had much less processing power. With 32mb you could probably run some kind of Linux.

64k was acceptable 40 years ago.

I'd say it's more "ignorance is bliss". I spend far too much time thinking about various tradeoffs etc, whereas others just seem happy to stick a 'live, love, laugh' picture on the wall and get on without think

Ah ok. I was thinking from the perspective of automating the input, for a human to view, rather than automatically getting data out.

Nit. Surely it would be keyboard navigation? Your macro can consist of the key presses you would actually use, rather than trying to describe mouse movement. If you want to automate from the perspective of what's on screen, tuis have n

It's somewhat an issue with Linux as well. Ctrl c does 2 completely different things. Terminology is different. Etc. Problem is. Terminal applications standardised in the 70s. Guis in the 90s. Although that's being undone by web a

The real shame though is that you can make gui apps efficient. I've used the same systems you describe, except in gui form. And the thing is, with this kind of application, everyone has a different 20% that they spend 80% of their time

Except we don't do wing warping anymore, or take many design cues from the wrights at all. Hard to say they were ahead when they were in an evolutionary dead end.

Further. In fields like medicine, you have a huge upfront research cost. Patents allow them to recoup that research cost. Patents (and copyright) aren't bad. It when it becomes too broad. Not reflective of the effort involved, or too l

The OP stated "The game Titanfall on PC has the audio in it twice, compressed and decompressed." 'has it twice' could just be on the install media, and compressed/ uncompressed chosen as a trade off between install

CDROM and 386 would have been an odd combination though? My 486 had a single speed CDROM but it only had a 500mb and a 100mb hard drive, so still wasn't playing mp3s

Problem is, in Europe at least the Energy efficiency isn't very joined up. Separates have lower spin speeds because it uses less energy (to spin) so you need more energy to heat dry. Combined ones have a higher spin speed because spinn

Hong Kong also uses English. I assume it does have advantages. The common law of the ex British colonies are all broadly compatible, so there's the possibility of having judges from other countries decide cases. Trade and maritime law

Well yes. A stock goes up because people are buying, but that avoids the intent of the question, if they're asking about why the stock is rising. The answer the GP. The longer term bonds tend to be less impacted by interest rate expect

No. This is how building societies work. You may not have £100,000 but if you get 1000 people with £100 then you can buy a house. Obviously the birthday system doesnt address the interest, but I'm sure your friends would be ok paying i

An African subsistence farmer makes what? A dollar a day. The average American makes $60k+ annually. So who is going to be able to afford that bag of flour? Further the African subsistence farmer has lost their harvest, so they don't e

Why is this a problem? If the courts are using ai we should know why and how. There should be a human reviewing it. The judge should be making their own decision that shouldn't be based on automated tools.
