Except, you know, they were wrong. It's absolutely fine to talk about these things, but it is also absolutely pertinent that we take a measured approach. There was a lot of down voting of people that took the measured response in that

Tell me where the reform party is today? The major parties don't even take federal funding because it's a joke. In a First Past the Post voting system like the one in America, a vote for a third-party is, and always will be a vote

But bitcoin needs to be transformed back into a currency at some point to use it . There is no point in a wire transfer if the person at the other end isn't going to use it. Yes, some retailers accept bitcoin, most don't.

And a 100k isn't what it was a decade ago either. While I understand your underlying point (and somewhat agree with it), how you got there was a bit bizarre. We are talking about making 500k this year, which would be obviously less a

Disclaimer: I work at MSFT, views are my own, etc. I believe this is pretty much it. It is my understanding that there are a ton of features on a processor today that are not simply the x86/amd64 instruction set. These things require

Why do you think that those statement imply that? It is clearly saying that the option to VPN in and connect to WiFi with credentials are supported, not that those are the only ways. At least, that is how I read it.

I'm guessing that your use cases for Windows and FOSS kernels are different, but I'll counter your anecdote with some of my own. Almost every single BSOD today is a hardware/driver problem. After Server 2003, MSFT got serious

Get out of here with that nonsense. You may not be a fan of paid software, but the Windows Kernel is just as good as any FOSS kernel today in regards to stability. The Server and embedded SKUs also come with a ton of the extraneous stuff

The demo'd model 3 screams civic to me. Not that there is anything wrong with the civic, but it doesn't scream 3-series/A4/c-class to me. Also, the interior is completely bland. That all said, I will wait until there

There are a ton of cards that have fees, mostly American Express, but Chase and others too. The fees usually unlock certain benefits, eg: Amex Blue Everday will pay 3% cash back at grocery stores, or for $75/yr, they will pay 6% cash

The difference is that one of those options is nearly completely reproducible, the other requires humans to deconstruct a device which introduces more chances for things to go wrong.

That's a bit extreme. Just because there is a weakness in the implementation details of the iPhone PIN mechanism does not mean that all phones are weak. Apple already uses extremely strong encryption, and when coupled with a largish

It will never happen. There isn't an ARM chip out there that could handle the x86 emulation needed to move off of the platform. The only reason Apple was able to move off of PowerPC is because they were able emulate the ISA on x86.

Except their bottom line. Anyone remember the cost to Intel for their faulty FPU in the P5?

Yes, because Intel doesn't do the same thing. /s Granted, Intel's supply chains probably aren't nearly as difficult as Apple's, but the supply chain is probably the least difficult part of shipping the next generati
