Earlier I found it awe-inspiring. Nowadays I find it funny because we have yet to even remotely approach the complexity of meat.

Not including the Diamond Monster Fusion, the first 2D/3D card, is a glaring omission.

Okay, since you asked (unpopular, but I have karma to burn, c'est la vie): This myopic focus on Trump ignores the real issue: Environmentalism is a secular religion, a theocracy, a dogma. Like any religion it employs circular reasoning

People who didn't vote voted for the winning party. That's true in every election.

Let me rephrase that to provide a different connotation: Liberals want to kill economic progress to save a few animals. Neither side is honest, it's just a matter of framing and perspective.

Nonsense. Every military is built to counter certain types of enemies. Nations that win predict correctly, nations that lose predict incorrectly. History is littered with examples.

The financial market infrastructure heavily relies on Java. Transactions at commercial banks across North America are mostly executed on Java codebases.

Thanks for sharing. Hilarious and somewhat accurate...

I was responding to the original post about open standards. My point is that anything with an RF transceiver will never be as open as a standard PC with replaceable components. The radio portion will always be blocked off. That relatively s

The problem with government services is the rampant fraud. In such cases, fraud is often guilt-free since the government is perceived to have infinite resources. This tempts otherwise honest people to "try their luck" free of cons

Back then, computers didn't had competition from the analog world, so vendors had to provide excellent service such that users would be convinced into switching over to the digital way if doing things. Now comouters have a monopoly on

It's quite different. The transceiver in your device is mainly a low-power receiver, transmit power is limited to ~100mW at best. Meanwhile a typical AP can go up to 1W per antenna for transmit. Also, the firmware that operates the wi

This sounds like an ad.

It's not the router part that's hard. Any PC can become a router. You still need a wireless AP with an RF transceiver. That's where the restrictions are and why the FCC regulates them in the first place.

It's not so simple. Routers, like most tech emitting and modulating an RF signal by design, are certified products. The radio frequency bands, output power, allowed channels are all tightly controlled. Allowing end-users control withou

This is still a "hard" problem from a scientific perspective. LLMs haven't taken us any closer to solving the perception, actuation, learning loop. It will require multiple new developments in material science and a new ML pa

Counterpoint: Lobbies, fund-raising and SuperPACs. Those without capital lack the influence that those with capital possess with lawmakers.

And yet you chose to respond! Indeed I stand corrected on the onsite firehouse, LaGuardia does have one but many airports do not.

You seem to be giving too much credit to the singleton design pattern. We know exactly how well that works on a modern, multi-tasking, preemptible operating system (hint: not well at all).

If your hourly wage is $150 or more, then the cost is break-even, or possibly cheaper to hire someone else.

Yet we cannot consider Qt to be native app development since every app requires the Qt runtime. Native means system libraries only.

That's exactly why fstab needs to be modified. If an old machine previously had two partitions/drives, the entry for the missing drive will prevent Linux from booting.
