I said destroying a platform for open discourse, not what you quoted, and I'll stand by what I said. After a certain noise threshold is reached the platform becomes unusable. I've seen this happen on other sites, sometimes purpose

I don't have any operations in the EU. I don't collect revenue directly from EU residents using my services. I have no presence in Europe, but some Europeans do use my website (it's a free Internet). What's the EU going

Which steps? I don't do much mobile development, but I have done some, and I have never used the XCode GUI, ever.

I'm sure you're correct, but that seems backwards. OpenGL is a cross platform API, why would that be emulated in software? And the iOS devices have a different CPU architecture (ARM) than the MacBook Pro (x64) you develop on, so

The most reliable time to shoot down a missile is when it is just lifting off. It's moving slowly, lots of fuel, etc. All it takes is a high powered laser hitting it almost anywhere in its cross section.

Most alerts are designed to. It probably uses the same underlying system as the Amber alerts in California, which do override volume settings.

I'm aware of what BASE means. Grandparent post was comparing BASE jumping to wingsuit skydiving out of airplanes and helicopters. Parent said that BASE jumping off of mountains could be safer. I called bullshit.

It always seemed weird to me that the Concorde was a British-French thing whose chief routes was between London, New York, and Paris. I would have thought there'd be huge demand for the long-haul flights across hemispheres, between nor

No the problem with primecoin is the mathematical "problem" it is solving isn't scientifically interesting.

There are very few things that are actually useful (socially or otherwise) but don't provide economic incentive. As pointed out by others primecoin isn't really a very good example. A good application to shoot for, if there are an
