It's pretty easy to get the Wii to run emulators, and I wouldn't be too quick to write off the Wii library. You've got the Lego Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Batman games, Mario Kart, Wii Sports, some Disney Princess game

Your whole argument is predicated on the idea that what happened with the DAO was "theft". All the publicity for the DAO explicitly said that the code was the full specification of the contract even if it disagreed with any other

The classic branch is still susceptible to the same problem, though. They didn't fork because of the DAO, but who's to say they won't fork because they don't like the result of a different contract? If I'm going to

You can link statically as long as you make it possible for your users to re-link with a modified version of Qt. If you have ClosedProgram.exe and distribute ClosedProgram.obj and QtSource.zip you're fine.

It was sometime around 2005 to 2008. You could always take the earpiece off if you were in the middle of a deep conversation with a customer, and it was handy to be able to call a manager or another department without having to chase them d

One of my favorite things about this song is the way it was originally placed on the record. There's the huge piano chord, then silence, then a high pitched sound allegedly to mess with people's dogs, and then a second or two of g

Out of curiosity, do you get this regardless of file type? I've noticed something similar but only in Python files, and I had assumed I had misconfigured my setup somehow. Just curious if your experience was similar.

You can do a lot of this already with this tool [1] that uses the images on Docker Hub to replace the contents of the lxss folder. It's a little clunky but worked well enough for my limited needs. [1] https://github.com&#x2F

Just print the TOTP QR code and store it in a safe place. Then you can set up an authenticator on the new phone with the same key as the old one.

Your experience is directly contradicted by what people studying this observed as the national limit was relaxed and then removed completely.
587.
by kej 10y ago
That may be true, but doesn't change the fact that we've done this experiment nationally, and adjusted for other factors that are known to affect speed, there were fewer fatalities when the limit was lower. Setting the limit at 80

Per capita, or per miles driven? My limited experience is that people in the U.S. drive a lot more in general, so per mile driven would be a more meaningful measure of road safety.

by kej 10y ago
And even at the historic lows, numerous studies suggest fatality rates would be even lower if we'd stuck to the national 55/65 speed limits.

Yeah, sperm whales can do 90 minutes and the longest recorded beaked whale dive is over two hours. Heck, the human record is something like 20 minutes, by some free diver.

The time charts are labeled "local time", so I'd assume they're using ip geolocation or profile info to normalize everyone's times.

Plenty of people bought graphic cards to play games and use them for protein folding in their spare time, thanks to Folding@Home. Sometimes leisure activities produce practical results.

I wonder if it's possible to trigger one of these smart speakers from its own output. If so, the last track on your album could be the command to "play album <unique name part n+1>".

The FMLA also allows your employer to require you to use PTO before unpaid leave, so you don't have the option to save your PTO for an actual vacation after your medical leave.

I think that's a fair point, but I'd say it's more like wanting to use the tools in your pocket knife instead of getting an actual screw driver or set of pliers. No, it's not as good as the real thing, but you can save t
