Sorry, by plaintiff you mean who, exactly? If you mean Trump, we'll have to see if he follows through on his promises, but his own public remarks suggest a severe want of genuine respect for women. And speaking as a White Male, the ide

Thank you for that article. I shall read it in depth later, but a cursory glance suggests that Mr Thiel believes, as many do, that freedom means not being compelled to help his fellow humans, or even his own immediate society, by taxation o

You think that basic income is a good idea but you think that Bernie Sanders is communism? What exactly don't you like about Sanders? I'm genuinely curious because my impression was that Sanders would have done better against Trum

I don't like to mis-characterise anyone's position. The following article suggests that I was indeed wrong, and I apologise: http://www.dailydot.com/irl/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-lgb... However, from the s

I think the Dems are a long, long way away from anything which vaguely passes for communisim. They're almost as capitalist as the Republicans, but - I think - more protections for equality. The problem is that Capitalism doesn't c

I recognise that you are trying to engage and explain your point of view. I respect that, even though I disagree with you. You may have grievances (legitimate or otherwise) but you have to weigh up the pros and cons. In 1920s Italy you migh

It's a win for LGBT causes to ally himself with somebody who believes in Conversion Therapy? [Edit: I meant Trump, and I was wrong - see below. Technically Thiel is also allied with Pence, who does believe in Conversion Therapy, but th

Agreed. P4 is synonymous for Perforce. Did the project authors not do a cursory google first? As for "unfortunately", what don't you like about it, apart from it not being what you're used to from elsewhere? I've us

I understand that each port has a circuit-breaker which can be reset (by unplugging everything and powering it off and on again, or something like that). EDIT: Apologies, it looks like they used to use fuses before they switched to resettab

Just mask off some of the display and size your images to the remaining area? Ideally you want the cardboard matting flush to the surface of the screen anyway.

Clay Bavor addressed that problem using photodiodes so that the picture never seemed brighter than the surroundings. It really helped sell that it was a normal picture. https://www.claybavor.com/?p=407

Nice. Of course, with E-Ink you could run the whole thing off batteries instead of having that cable. For now, instead of plastering the cable in, you could put up a picture rail and hide the cable inside that.
