Depends on the type of plastic and what was used in its manufacture. Most plastics eventually degrade into water and carbon dioxide. However, until they are completely broken down they cause all sorts of problems not the least of which is

When arguing about immigrants and unemployment I always wondered why people get so upset over it. If the immigrant is even able to collect unemployment that means they paid for it . So they're literally just getting the money back tha

If memory serves some of the more dire predictions accounted for 40 feet of sea level rise as a result of melting ice. This article says that Antarctica's ice shelves (cliffs) would only amount to six feet. So that leaves 'only&#x

What extensions do you have loaded? Done anything else to customize it? I've been running Firefox for over a year now on my Kubuntu desktop and haven't had that issue. Not with pre-Quantum or post-Quantum Firefox. Also, some tab

The DNS thing is probably caused by Firefox's OS-agnostic DNS. You see, in Windows Chrome will use IE's networking stack (so changing your IE proxy settings changes them in Chrome) if you have the "enterprise version" i

This is a rather ambiguous and incorrect statement. Hardware acceleration of some things is disabled by default because of a security issue related to the way X11 works (it's complicated but in short, one window can "see throug

As a business you need a way to engage with potential or existing customers. Yesterday that "way" was to pay newspapers, the Yellow Pages, etc to place ads. Then it moved to banner ads on various websites and today they use Face

Last I checked, there's physical limits to that kind of growth. According to the textbooks (and history), if you build a zillion super expensive condos in a single area without building an equivalent (or more) amount of low to medium i

To be fair, that sounds like a bug in the graphics driver or OpenGL ICD/libraries. GPUs are a bit special in that they have the power to hose your entire running OS (force a reboot due to a hard hang) no matter what OS you're ru

Couldn't you just walk around with a laptop and an RTL-SDR device and measure how strong the (near 315MHz) signal is at various locations as you move about?

No, Stadia is the perfect use case for F2P games. The only requirement to start playing will probably be a Google account. It'll probably be a mix of pay-once games, lots-of-games-for-a-subscription, and pay-once, play-until-Google-sh

Arbitors often have no assets . You'll be dealing with "Arbitration Corporation 12S". Which will conveniently cease business the moment anyone files suit.

You need to CALL OUT these businesses loudly and publicly. This whole, "I'm not paying you for 90-120 days and then I notify you of a typo precisely 91 days later when you ask where the money is" needs to end. So in that vein

Yes. This, exactly. By patenting this language feature Apple has very clearly stated that they are "making a claim of ownership" as it were of this feature across all languages and non-derivative implementations. ...which is a per
