Interesting, but is it surprising? I would expect most species to adapt to surroundings, and if something works well for one, then surely there is a large chance it may work for other species too?

The salts themselves are results of various chemical processes both on Earth and elsewhere.

Absolutely! Australia is quite within their rights when asking tech giants to follow local regulations when they aim services at Australian citizens. That doesn't automatically make this particular law less dumb, though.

Yep, I've also noticed some unreliability when doing things like adding a mirror drive; at some point the USB controller just seems to fall off the horse and everything crashes. My setup mainly streams video/music over wifi and it

Yeah, USB drives with their own power supplies work very well with the Pi, but I can imagine high workloads could quickly run into problems and/or bottlenecks.

I was replying to a post saying that EU voters should be more careful about whom they vote for. I'm saying that the EU voters aren't under direct control over how the council is formed, and so it's more important to apply pre

There's always the chance someone social-engineered their way past the registrar's access control, or that they got some kind of access to the registrar's systems. Or the domain owner simply didn't read an email properly

Definitely. However, depending on where you live, the head of state/government may very well have gotten ~20% of the local votes, and their politics may therefore be without majority backing. The EU parliament is a different story thou

This seems to be about hardware/software that performs encryption? I've yet to see any modern democratic government prevent someone from using a one-time pad, a piece of paper and a pencil to encrypt a message.

The resolution was made by the EU Council, not the parliament. The EU Council is not voted upon as such, and it consists of the heads of state/government from all member states. Once this reaches the parliament, on the other hand, ther

The climate is changing, and it seems to be primarily caused by human activity. With change comes unpredictability and unpredictability results in perceived (and potentially actual ) instability of systems that have been in place for millen

Pretty much everyone knows their eyesight will get worse with age. It's just that most people refuse to admit they're getting older.

It's just not the financial system, though, it's our entire societies that are designed with growth in mind. It's obvious we need some kind of alternative way to solve this, but getting from here to there isn't something

Besides, if the power outage brings society into such a disarray that you can't just call an ambulance if something happened, then there is a high likeliood that having a petrol-powered car wouldn't be much better than an electric

Of course! Stating the entertainment and/or artistic values of anything is voicing an opinion rather than stating a fact. I apologise if that wasn't clear from my previous post.

And, once you get used to having wild flowers and herbs in your garden, regular lawns seem quite boring.

Is the 68k port of Netsurf still kept up to date? I assume it would be slow, but Netsurf itself is quite usable, though I wouldn't say it's a modern Internet experience.

Well, if I'm in an intersection or something, and there's a bicyclist coming from the other direction, I usually... dunno... look at them? They usually look back. Somehow makes it much easier to read the other person and see where

Yeah. With post-1995 hardware it's mostly a matter of installing a network card + driver, and possibly a TCP/IP stack and a browser, depending on the OS.

Pretty much anything with a serial port and a CPU should be able to get online, provided you have appropriate software. Most computers built after 1980 should be able to do it with some tinkering. Pretty much anything built after 1990 shoul

My first reaction was that it'll make it much harder to make eye contact with bicyclists. Making eye contact makes it much easier to predict where the bicyclist is heading, so I'm not sure that specific label is a good idea.

It will also only happen if CloudLinux goes the Debian route. Which they won't, as they're launching what looks like a somewhat credible initiative to replace CentOS.
