I'm by no means an expert, but I really don't think it would take much. Cloning is being used in polo[1], which suggests that it isn't terribly difficult. Once you have the egg cell you just use in vitro fertilization, which

What's your point? A few bitwise operations are far quicker than reading from memory. Also are you sure that the high bits must be 1? I thought they had to be the same as the 48th bit.

Other people have pointed out how much memory 64bits provides, but the real problem is when we go from 48bits to 64bits. 48bits provides 256TB of address space. Right now amd64 only uses the bottom 48bits for pointers and some systems take

I have no idea, its been a year or two since I fiddled with it. I think it just never made it to the login screen? I didn't need to have encrypted root so I didn't look into it too much.

I was hoping this would have a big picture of Linus giving Nvidia the finger. An issue I had that isn't on the list is installing Nvidia drivers on an encrypted install of Ubuntu 16.04. After installing the drivers it would no longer b

It's really interesting to see how broken Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii are compared to Mario Kart Double Dash. MKDD has only two out-of-bounds glitches that I know of; one on Waluigi Stadium and one on Bowser's Castle. The Wal

I thought the whole point of ActivityPub+Git was to replicate the social aspects of GitHub. I think developers don't really have experience working with email either, so they go with what they know best (web).

Yeah I probably should have mentioned that, sorry. Also that's not an ad, it's a link to the owner's mumble server.

I didn't know that it was a board but it makes sense considering cock.li started on 4chan. Nonetheless, it's still just a free email service and using it certainly does not imply that you are 'alt-right' or whatever boog

This has been known for nearly two years now[1], and was talked about here a few months ago[2]. VSCode also downloads code from MicroSoft servers during the build process and won't build without an Internet connection. I'm pretty

I've consistently heard people say that they would prefer a thicker phone if it meant greater battery life, so clearly there isn't nobody who wants a thicker phone.

You seem to think that a lack of usernames means a lack of community, and this is not remotely true. Anonymous forums have been around for decades and have been quite successful.

I think free software really matters here. I really do not want companies storing the information from a BMI on their servers and I would actually take the time to audit any software to be certain of this. Free software is a good enough req

I had the same reaction. Once I realized what it was, I had no idea what to do with it though. Anyone know of something that shows you how to get started or shows off its capabilities?

That's true, but it's a different thing. Blocking a site on ISP level prevents users from viewing the site as opposed to blocking creators from presenting the site. It's a subtle but important difference. Also, according to W

You know you don't have to turn it on right? My mother has one that I've used and I just treat it like an old exercise bike. There's a knob between your legs for adjusting the difficulty.
